At the end of the film, it is said that more than 300,000,000 Prozac prescriptions are issued every year in the United States to fight depression. What about China?


A so-so campus film, such a similar girl plot makes me have to think of Yu Hong, the girl in Lou Ye's "Summer Palace". The same is single parent precocious, famous university, Tsinghua-Harvard, Yu Hong-lizzie. They all used sharp eyes and excited pen and paper to resist the restless emotions from the inside of their bodies when they first entered the university town. They are all smart, beautiful and indifferent by nature. Not only girls who meet such conditions will suffer from depression. They seem to be rebellious and deviant, but in fact, their wishful thinking about love ideals also makes them physically and mentally exhausted. No one can explain the grief of a young man who, in a transparent box, yells at the outside eyes, but is unable to reach out and squeeze each other and tell them how cowardly they actually are.

Depressed youth is not just because of parents' failed marriages, life pressures in divorced families, abnormal parents' expectations, excessive doting, gigs, rock music, sexual liberation, hallucinogens, tolerant and indulgent college life, upside-down schedules, broken At a party, or you're a pretty girl who writes music reviews that makes you want to cut your wrists and commit suicide.

Maybe there are more reasons you say?
