After reading it twice, I watched the male protagonist Xiao Si walk from an honor student into prison for four hours.
In the era of oppression, the depression of the adult world inevitably spreads to the young people. The poor material life and the lack of spiritual outlook have caused a bad atmosphere in the school. Boys form gangs and fight, while girls fall in love and make boyfriends.
Father and Hani are the male role models of Xiao Si. One was stunned because of the innocent detention, and the other was unexpectedly killed on the street. Xiao Si himself had to go to school at night because he was suspected of being misjudged on the test paper. He was ordered to drop out due to a conflict with the dean of students; all of this collapsed after he discovered that his girlfriend, Xiao Ming, who he wanted to protect, was wandering among many men. Finally, after a dispute with Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming accidentally killed his beloved. His world completely collapsed. In fact, he was just trying to maintain the order of his own world, to maintain what he felt was righteous, but he didn't expect everything in him to go to destruction. When Xiao Si found that Xiao Ming could no longer stand up, he actually suffered a punishment more painful than death.
Xiao Ming is realistic, with a clear distinction between love and life, while Xiao Si is stubborn, trying to change Xiao Ming and change the world (Xiao Ming's comments on Hani also apply to Xiao Si). In fact, his essence is very good. He doesn't remember the revenge of the slick, rescues the drunken grocery store owner, returns the director's flashlight on the set...
Zhang Zhen was already handsome when he was young.
