Chen Nian is a child who was left alone by his mother on the eve of the college entrance examination, often people will go to her house to smash the door to find her mother to ask for debts, and Xiao Bei is a child who was abandoned by his mother at the age of 13 and wandered the streets, in order to survive, he constantly beat others, or was beaten by others, he was often scarred. Chen Nian, who was constantly bullied in school, had to seek the protection of Xiao Bei in order to persist until the college entrance examination.
If it were not for seeing the cruelty of children with their own eyes, many people who grew up under the warmth of normal families felt that the "viciousness" in school bullying was exaggerated, but I saw it with my own eyes. One summer night, an incident in a square in the bustling part of the city refreshed my understanding, about forty or fifty children, kicked one of their peers to the ground, regardless of the death of the fallen, and continued to kick with their feet. Of course, there are fewer hands-on people and more onlookers. Finally there was a young man in his twenties, who didn't know his identity, presumably a cop, I suppose. While drinking, he threatened to disperse them. As an adult, my heart was filled with fear. I hurried to teach my children to stay away and not resist. And Chen Nian was in the school, such violence, she was almost unable to hide, invincible, and powerless to resist.
In "Young You", not long after the beginning of the movie, Fluttershy jumped off the building to commit suicide because she could not stand bullying, and there is a detail that I believe everyone can see, in one of the violent scenes, a child holds a sharp paper cutting knife in his hand, and Chen Nian was photographed nude in this bullying. There is no doubt that school violence is extremely cruel.
There is also a plot in the movie where Officer Zheng goes to Wei Lai's parents to talk about school bullying, and her parents downplay it as playing. What a bitter lesson! Remember: the perpetrators and the bullied are hurt the same, and the cost is the same!
