That's it

"Where" is a very simple, very urgent, very beautiful story. Boy A was threatened by the teacher for not writing his homework in the workbook and he would be expelled the next time. Boy B accidentally took boy A's workbook home that day. A "long road" to return the workbook has begun. So why is it so hard? because of communication difficulties.
Boy B's family would hardly listen to what Boy B said. Boy B explained patiently again and again with small eyes, but it was useless. No one is listening, everyone is just talking to themselves. Even everyone I met on the road was, no one was listening to what B said. They said money, the door they made, and the smoke. Boy B was like an anxious little ant.
From sunset to late at night, the workbook still failed to return to Boy A's hand. Back home, boy B knelt on the carpet at home and didn't think about eating and drinking, and the wind was blowing outside.
Before class the next day, Boy A was shivering on his desk, and the teacher began to check his homework one by one. Boy B hurried into the classroom, asked in a low voice if Boy A's homework had been checked, and then told Boy A to help him finish the homework. Finally found Boy A, a big tick.

The story is so simple, yet so moving. You watch movies and you keep asking: Why doesn't everyone listen to Boy B? Why do teachers punish and threaten people without asking for any reason? And why is boy B so persistent?

That's it: in Boy B's world, returning homework is a must. There is no threat or difficulty or otherwise. So you can not listen to my demands, keep saying it if you don't listen to me, keep saying that you can't hear me and don't say it, just go ahead and do it. If I can't do it, I will try again and again, and if there is no result, then my last resort is to prevent the worst from happening. In this way, this boy is really good. Any kind of persistence in this world, even if it is stupid, is touching. And in fact, in the eyes of those who persist, the word "persistence" does not exist, because persistence is a kind of effort, but in the end, those who can persist do not deliberately persist, everything is natural, and there is no self-struggle and entanglement. Because that's how it is.

That's it: The adults in the world around Boy B and the world we live in are one. Everyone talks to themselves, and few people hit the pause button on their world and let someone else's voice play for a while. We talk, we socialize, and we end up alone in our own world.
We hugged and stroked our lover, whispered, and then listened to him say: Oh, that tree in the distance is so beautiful. We licked each other's wounds, and in the end we only knew how many inches and millimeters our wounds were. All of them are blind and deaf, so full and bright, not overflowing at all.

That's it: never try to indoctrinate. Even babies have their own factors at birth. If he is naughty, let it play, if he is cowardly, let him be cowardly. Your persuasion is just what you understand, not absolute good or bad. Is the teacher's threat justified? is that useful? What should happen will still happen. Is there a response to Boy B's confession and explanation? To be ignored or ignored. Xiao Si in Guling Street felt that Xiao Ming was not what he imagined and killed Xiao Ming. This was extreme, but it was actually what the world was like.
Have you seen those who are broken-hearted, depressed, and miserable? Isn't it pitiful, is it a kind of heart attack that wants to save it? No need, things have developed to the way you see them, and that's how they are. There are no souls in this world that need saving.
