People live in a big machine, everyone is trying to do what they should do, the right thing, not stopping, not slack, but they are all wrong. Chen Nian's mother, who loves her daughter, does not hesitate to endure hardships to save her daughter's tuition, but she never asks about her daughter's growth.
The school is fully prepared for the college entrance examination. The rate of admission is the only driving force for its operation, not preaching, teaching and educating people. The special repeating school in the film reinforces this feature.
The head teacher is a good person, but when the police questioned Chen Nian, he told the police that it was time for class, and the time before the test was precious. When he saw the blood on Chen Nian's chair, he only scolded him sharply: What time is this, he is still doing this kind of prank, Hu Xiaodie's death has not been able to divert his focus on the college entrance examination.
The young police officer is a good person. He tried hard to find the truth, but in the end he couldn't find Wei Lai. Let the two lonely and miserable teenagers mature prematurely and vicissitudes of life. (In the noisy test-taking team in the heavy rain, the two of them only silently exchanged resolute eyes, and their expressions were even more dignified than those of the parents who shouted cheering slogans.) The police officer told Chen Nian that he was particularly able to sleep after work, and At the end, the captain praised him and said he was going to bed and left. He felt powerless. He failed to stop the bully at first, but now he has to bring the bullied to justice.
Chen Nian and Xiaobei, no one has taught them how to grow up, Xiaobei is already learning to be an adult at a young age. Chen Nian mistakenly thought that the college entrance examination was a watershed, and everything got better after the test, so she was willing to endure bullying without making friends for the college entrance examination. Bei made a cruel oath, believing that if one of them went out, he would be successful.
The worst Wei Lai in the story died in the most beautiful years. From her final dialogue with Chen Nian, it can be seen that she did not know that she did evil, and she was not taught good and evil. She was only implanted by her parents with self-interested thoughts: to be friends with good students, but she didn't know how to respect others at all. She even naively thought that the hurt she had done to Chen Nian could be easily erased, and the two of them could be friends. And with the same naivety, he said the hurtful words that caused Chen Nian to push her down the stairs, but she didn't know it until she died.
The tragedy of campus bullying is just a symptom exposed by the abnormal operation of the social machine. In fact, everyone is a victim. Schools and parents are so focused on the enrollment rate that they forget about education; law enforcement departments are rigid in their ability to only punish crimes, but incapable of preventing crimes; teenagers stumble and grow up, and the best years are used to make up for the lessons of growth.
