The racing movie “Pegasus 2” has a scene that left a deep impression on the audience: On the racetrack in Bayinburuq, Zhang Chi risked his life to cross the finish line first in 59 minutes and 58 seconds. The originally flawless result was invalidated due to the car being damaged and the seal being lost. Even his score was subject to much criticism and doubt. While the protagonist Zhang Chi was appealing to the team, he accidentally found the Lead seal that once belonged to him. The accumulated emotions of many years burst out at this moment, and the film also reached a small climax in this scene by intensifying the emotional expression.
Director Han Han successfully used the small Cable Lead Seal to vividly depict the hardships of the struggling racer. Besides evoking emotions, this detail also sparked much thought among people: What is a Lead Seal? And why is it so crucial for Zhang Chi?
First, let’s take a look at the Lead Seal lock. It is a device similar to a lock, which can be securely locked and cannot be opened without forceful destruction. Once it is damaged, the Cable Seal lock cannot be reused. Each Seal lock has a unique identification number.
In car racing, the Lead sealing process is a crucial step to ensure the balanced performance of the competing vehicles and the fairness of the competition. This is because there is a time gap between the vehicle’s compliance check and the actual race. After the compliance check, the vehicles are given to the drivers for them to familiarize themselves with the vehicles. Therefore, during this period from the compliance check to the start of the race, to prevent the drivers from modifying the vehicle privately, the core components related to the vehicle’s power are sealed with a seal. It can be said that the Wire Cable Seal function is similar to a seal, which can prove that the marked object has not been altered.
Overall, for Zhang Chi, that small seal not only represents the outcome of the competition, but also the adherence to the competition rules and fairness. This is one of the reasons why “Pegasus 2” can touch the audience. It shows us an athlete’s perseverance and indomitable spirit when facing difficulties. And this is precisely the positive energy we need in this rapidly developing era.
