History is always surprisingly similar, no matter which country, there are always some similar experiences, Han's, Yi's, Afhan's, never, mine...

Forced acupuncture, deceived under some guise, forced indoctrination in the name of Xinyang, Guo Jiazhili, what is freedom at all? People guess and supervise each other, and the sense of resistance is gradually wiped out. Just like the rebellious people in the play at the beginning, they are not obedient and obedient. Otherwise, there will be countless pains. This is a comparison. Who is more empowered, has a stun stick in hand, can do whatever they want, the maids have experienced fear, numbness, giving up resistance, despair, rekindling hope, regaining the courage to go out alive and later maids war.

I don't think it's a simple feminist issue. It's a human being born with the right to live and the right to die, not to mention equality between men and women.

All of a sudden, there are too many associations and feelings. When I think of "Desert Flower" and "I grew up in Iran", they all have similar themes, but the maid is written to the extreme. It includes them, and there are many more. Psychological tactics, a challenge to human nature.

All seemingly absurd behaviors must be in line with the scene at the time. If you don't do this, you will wait to suffer. Obedience and meekness will be gradually cultivated, thinking and will will gradually fade away, and in the end, you will really become a little sheep that will be slaughtered by others.

As a bystander, you can make irresponsible remarks so confidently. If it really happens to you, you may be even weaker, and you will die if you don't survive an episode. I was still timid after all, and I didn't have that much courage, even in such a simple life.
