Just in the past few days, a case occurred that made all netizens extremely angry!
A 5-year-old girl in Harbin was taken away by a neighbor in her 50s and sexually assaulted. When the little girl was found overnight , she was covered in injuries. Not only was multiple internal organs seriously infected, but also her lower body was torn and unable to excrete normally. She is still in the ICU , not out of danger...
The whole thing went through like a real version of "Su Yuan".
She is only 5 years old! !
It's hard to imagine how terrified and hopeless she would feel when she was violated, facing an adult man who was unable to resist, and even if the physical injury was healed, how long would the psychological shadow accompany her...
Sexual assault of minors is a word that no one wants to see.
From the "Room N Incident in Korea" that was so hot this year, to Bao Yuming's sexual assault on an underage adopted daughter... These bloody cases are staged around us from time to time.
Seeing these news, people can not help but ask:
How far are we from evil?
It is a pity that too many innocent victims are being tortured, but the real culprits are not getting the punishment they deserve.
Even many minors do not have a correct concept of sexual assault. Some victims do not know that they have been violated, and they will beautify it as love.
American director Jennifer Fox had a similar experience.
When she was sexually assaulted, when she was only 13 years old, she regarded it as her "first love" and was brainwashed by herself for decades, and even almost participated in 4P under the instigation of sexual assault.
Now, nearly 50 years old, she has made this heart-wrenching experience into a movie, and bravely uncovered the "scam" that has been covered in dust for more than 40 years. It is-
"Letter Story"
At the beginning of the movie, the black background and a few lines of short text immediately paved the way for the heaviness of the story:
"Adapted from personal experience".
It's a nightmarish true story.
Actress Jennifer Fox, a well-known documentary filmmaker and university professor, is working on a documentary focusing on women.
At the age of 48, she is still unmarried, living with her boyfriend Martin, who has been engaged for three years, and has a pretty happy life.
At this moment, a phone call from my mother broke all the peace.
When the mother was sorting out the old things, she accidentally discovered her daughter's composition when she was young, which recorded a "forbidden love" between 13-year-old Jennifer and a 40-year-old teacher.
The mother felt extremely uncomfortable after reading it, but Jennifer thought she was making a fuss. However, after his boyfriend read the letterhead, he also came to the same conclusion——
13-year-old Jennifer was sexually assaulted!
For this conclusion, 48-year-old Jennifer instinctively refused, she said track teacher Bill was her "first boyfriend", and insisted that she was not a "victim"!
Because in her memory, it was a story of falling in love with her "first love boyfriend"...
13-year-old Jennifer has a wealthy family.
His father is a well-known local developer, and he has five children in the family.
However, Jennifer is the "most transparent" one. She hates staying at home, because the siblings are always quarreling, and the mother and grandmother keep yelling at the children. The repression of the family atmosphere makes her feel no love and warmth at all.
Until one day, Jennifer's life seemed to usher in a "turning point".
Dad bought her a horse and sent her to the riding teacher Gera to learn how to ride every weekend. The physical training during the study period is in charge of the male track and field teacher Bill.
In Jenny's memory, they always taught her to ride horses and run with a smile, and they took care of her in life and asked her for help. Not only that, but Gera and Bill became her "pen pals", using letters to exchange views on literature.
Jennifer even believed that for a woman as beautiful as Mrs. Gera, her father could be forgiven for falling in love with her.
So when Bill told Jennifer that he and Guerra were having an affair, Jennifer actually thought they were a "made in heaven" couple.
Because that was the best man and woman she had ever seen.
What moved her even more was that Bill and Guerra offered to live on equal terms with Jennifer, respect all her decisions, never lie to each other, and share all secrets.
The implication is that Jennifer's parents did not regard their daughter as an independent "adult" at all.
Jennifer accepted this brainwashing. Almost every week, Jennifer can't wait to run into their arms. Because by their side, she felt an unprecedented sense of happiness, and her desire for love was greatly satisfied.
She trusted these two adults so much!
Guerra and Bill captured this acutely. One night, Bill persuaded Jennifer to stay the night on the grounds that she was staying for dinner, while Gera made an excuse to leave alone.
One second Jennifer was reading poetry for him, the next Bill was slowly approaching her. He praised Jennifer as the most perfect and mature girl.
Then he made an unusual request: Can you take your shirt off? Because I want to see the real you!
Jennifer, who didn't understand rejection, shyly agreed, because she really thought she was the most special and the teacher really loved her!
So Bill successfully deceived Jennifer and had a relationship with her. The 13-year-old girl was pressed down by Bill's head to his waist, enduring the pain in the lower body, allowing Bill to enjoy happiness.
This is a long-planned "sexual assault", not love at all!
But Bill didn't care, and told her "gently": "I have more patience than any young boy. No boy has ever helped you like this."
Maybe sexual assault is sinful, but my love with him is clean.
After that, Bill intensified, not only let Jennifer participate in the "threesome", but even let her play 4P. Only then did Jennifer realize her inner resistance to sex, so she mustered the courage to end the relationship.
But sadly, Jennifer believes that Bill is the victim in this relationship!
You see when I broke up with him, he cried so sadly, he was the one who broke down, he was the one who failed, and he was the victim!
When the camera turned to little Jennifer, she said firmly: Do you think I am a poor victim? I am not a victim, I have a unique experience and I am a winner!
Yes, in order to protect herself, she chose to forget!
In their memory, they enjoy "pure" love. Just like Fang Siqi wrote in her diary after being sexually assaulted by Li Guohua:
"Thinking about it for a few days, I came up with the only solution, I can't just love the teacher, I want to fall in love with him. The person you love can do anything to you, can't you? What a great idea is things! I have to love the teacher, or I will suffer too much. "
The more dreamy the memory, the more painful the reality.
In fact, every time she was sexually assaulted, Jennifer would have nausea and vomiting. No matter how obedient she is in her heart, her body will always give the most honest answer.
As an adult, she has a loose private life and tries to sleep with all kinds of men, but she has never been able to accept marriage, let alone have children.
It was not until the age of 48 that Jennifer understood: child, it was not first love, it was sexual assault!
Furious, she found Bill, now a grey-haired old man. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a sports expert who has made outstanding achievements and is admired by thousands of people.
Jennifer's oblivion helped the murderer the most.
He once said that he hated the family, he had already married and had children, and he didn't even know who Jennifer was.
Jennifer may just be one of the thousands of girls he seduces. However, from the moment she was sexually assaulted, her childhood nightmare was destined to harass her life recklessly!
At the end of the film, 13-year-old Jennifer walked up to 48-year-old Jennifer and said to her: "I want to tell you a story, a perfect love."
Such plain words hide too heavy truth. With extreme restraint, the director peeled off the mask of lies, and called out loudly—
Memory hurts, but facing it head on is the way to go!
Unlike child sexual abuse films such as "The Furnace" and "Su Yuan", "Letterhead Story" does not focus on the ugly crimes of the perpetrator, but presents 13-year-old Jennifer and 48-year-old through montage cross-cutting. Jennifer's inner tug of war revealed to the audience -
Victims may not be able to heal their wounds in a lifetime. Sometimes even pay for the perpetrator's actions!
As Lin Yihan wrote in the book, "He forced in, but I have to apologize for it."
What is even more heartbreaking is that some victims have become perpetrators in a long-term distorted environment.
In the film, Mr. Gera was also sexually assaulted, but she turned around and became the perpetrator, helping the sexual assault find prey.
"No one saved me"! Mrs. Guerra said indifferently to the camera.
Yes, for the victims, the indifference of the people around them pushes them into a more dangerous abyss.
In recent years, cases of child sexual abuse have been on the rise. A random search on Weibo reveals #Suzhou 13-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by her biological father for 9 years, #Hangzhou 9-year-old girl was molested by her grandfather, etc.
Too many young children are deeply hurt by the desires of some nasty, dirty adult. Moreover, in most cases, the perpetrators of juvenile sexual assault cases are family members, teachers or people familiar with them, so they are often ignored by parents.
If Jennifer's family in the film could have cared more about her, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
Her mother noticed the difference the first time she saw Bill, but her father said she thought too much. And after seeing Bill kissing Jennifer, grandma vowed to expose it, but in the end it was nothing.
The silence of the original family gave the beasts an opportunity.
In the end, I can only say: "I'm sorry child, I failed to protect you!"
Regrettably, in society, people often "talk about sexual discoloration", so some children are not aware of sexual abuse. Even if I know, I dare not say it.
However, there is only a difference between zero and multiple sexual assaults! There is no forgiving middle point!
Only when you say it, the devil can get retribution!
Although the real stories behind "The Furnace" and "Suyuan" do not have a happy ending.
But the two films pushed the South Korean government to revise the relevant laws.
You see, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
We often say that the issue of sexual assault will one day be resolved.
But it requires everyone in society to work on it, not just follow the crowd.
Because we fought all the way, not to change the world, but to not let the world change us.
