"When an avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake is innocent"
In today's society, "family affairs" have become an excuse for many people to stand by and watch. Many times, when we see harm or domestic violence from the original family, we will always comfort ourselves, "This is someone else's family affair, we are not easy to manage." But as everyone knows, compared with the evil of the perpetrators, being a witness to the bystanders again and again is an important factor in promoting the wanton behavior of these violence.
The film "Little Client", released in South Korea in 2019, has always exposed the dark side of society. When the two siblings who had no mother since childhood were cruelly abused by their stepmothers and their biological fathers turned a blind eye, the downstairs neighbors, the delivery couriers, and the small vendors nearby also became indifferent bystanders. It doesn't matter to you, hang high, where is the warmth to speak of?
Tear apart the ugly truth with a life, children struggling in the depths of the water, cold-eyed spectators, and relatives who are inhuman in the name of love. How can this be redeemed?

From ancient times to the present, people always seem to like to whitewash taiping. When things are in the incubation period, everyone pretends that the years are quiet and strives to make the big things small; but when things break out, they quickly become the embodiment of justice, and one is more positive than the other. But the funny thing is that even if you pretend to work hard, the attention at the cost of your life makes people feel cold.
When we watched the movie "Little Client", I believe that many people think that there is such an exaggeration under the prosperity, but the facts tell us that the darkness is often hidden under the peaceful and prosperous world. The film is actually based on a true event, an event that really happened in 2013. It caused a big stir that year, but it gradually fell silent with the passage of time. Now the old story is brought up again, just in the hope that people will learn a lesson.
The main thread of the film revolves around a 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old brother. Two children who have never enjoyed maternal love are happy to learn that they have a stepmother, but they do not know that it has become a nightmare of their lives. The inhuman stepmother abused her two children and seriously injured her brother and died. What is even more heart-wrenching is that in order to evade responsibility, the little girl was actually let scapegoat.
But ironically, before the tragedy, the little girl had turned to many people for help. Under the premise that the people around her ignored it, the little girl specifically went to the police, found the staff of the welfare institution, and asked for help from her teacher. These are the most reliable beings in our eyes, ignoring the fears and sorrows of our children and shirking responsibility as a matter of course.
In fact, in the face of violence and bullying, there is no such thing as a family affair. Under the authority of the law, each person is an independent individual, and the guardian is also restricted. As police officers or teachers, they have the responsibility and obligation to do their best to protect their children's health. All inaction can only be contempt for the law and morality.
In addition, making big things small is also an important issue. When the concepts of big things and small things are confused, and everyone always thinks that more is better than less, then who will guarantee social order. It is not so much that there is no distinction between big and small things, but rather that the concept of right and wrong is confused, and there is no distinction between right and wrong in the face of facts? Is this view of right and wrong more than a sentence summarized by non-compliance?
The reason why society is society is that people perform their duties, perform their functions, and jointly maintain the stability of society. Of course, in this case, not only due diligence is enough. In society, it is also necessary to have friendly care from strangers, build a happy city with warmth and love, and give children an environment for healthy growth.

While exposing the dark side of society, I also wanted to re-analyze the only hope that represents the film - Zheng Ye.
Yu Minhong once said that "the power of one person is very limited, but the power of a group of people is unlimited." This means that if we want to fight alone, we can do much less than the strength of the collective. This is especially true for doing good, how can a person accomplish great things without the help of others?
In fact, Zheng Ye really wants to help these two siblings, which can be seen from his practical actions such as inviting the children to dinner, contacting welfare agencies to help, and so on. But he also has his own life, and with the help of insignificant help, the children still fail to completely change their lives, but they are still getting deeper and deeper. When watching Zheng Ye leave his two children for his own future, we can't say that he did something wrong, but we just feel that the strength of one person is really weak.
But later in the film, when I was shocked by the death of my brother and Zheng Ye began to unite all the abilities to find evidence, I finally saw the strength of the collective power. In court, the evil stepmother and father are left speechless to jointly denounce the two criminals who are morally corrupt and have touched the law. Especially after the sentencing, it witnessed the influence of the voices of the masses.
While many people focus on the ending of stepmothers and fathers, I pay more attention to the influence of kindness on the public. From the lone battle of the male protagonist to the courtroom full of spectators who came for justice, people are gradually moved by the girl's experience and consciously throw themselves into this defense war, so that the bad guys can be brought to justice. The light of the fire gathers the sparks of the stars, burning all the sins and ruthlessness.
When faced with the forces of evil, there is always a need for one person to come out and take the lead, and then more and more followers will enter his ranks and rise up to resist together. Society needs a leader, and the leader also needs a collective, only unity and mutual assistance can achieve the goal, to achieve the realm of "everyone collecting firewood and the flame is high".
When we call on people to remain kind, we also call on people to throw away their indifferent mentality. In the face of good and evil, there is no family affair, only right and wrong. Your cold-eyed bystander affects other people, and even more affects the parties who are looking at it coldly. On the one hand, it makes people in desperate situations more desperate; on the other hand, it encourages the arrogance of the perpetrators.
Therefore, we who stand by and watch have become accomplices to evil to some extent. Even if you have more intolerance in your heart, your behavior is still unqualified. At this time, kindness is not just as simple as the heart thinks, and action has become an important indicator of goodness. Those who just want to and don't do it are nothing more than hypocrisy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > conclusion</h1>
As a member of society, we don't just have to take care of our own affairs behind closed doors. Society needs love, and we need to be loved, so that we can find warmth. You have to believe that when you raise your arms for justice, there will always be someone to be your companion and contribute your strength together. And blindly indifferent bystanders, there will always be a day when you yourself will become the object of observation.
