But her actions had a great impact on the lives of the seven sisters: she bullied Nami and was retaliated by Suzy, and she hated her. During the school celebration, she publicly insulted Nami in the cafeteria, which attracted Xia Chunhua's beating. , and later she scratched Suzy's face, causing the sisters to be expelled from school.
At the end of the movie, there is no mention of what happened to Lee Sang Mi, or even what happened to Lee Sang Mi after hurting Suzy. Then, in my personal analysis, there are some political reasons why Li Xiangmei's experience is not explained:
some people who have read the original book said that Li Xiangmei and Xia Chunhua were junior high school classmates, and the two have been in friendship longer than the other six sisters. , From the movie, I can see that Xia Chunhua's family conditions should not be bad. After 25 years, Chunhua became a strong woman, indicating that the dropout incident in that year had no impact at all. From the side, the seven sisters may have been used as scapegoats by school officials for special political reasons. In addition, it also shows that Lee Sang-mi's conditions will not be too bad.
Then, the seven sisters were dealt with, and what happened to the school covering up the past? Who will benefit from the Seven Sisters being dealt with? The answer is that Lee Sang-mi intentionally hurt the incident and Lee Sang-mi herself. Because everyone's focus shifted to the Seven Sisters, Lee Sang-mi was ignored.
This shows that the South Korean military government at that time put pressure on the school because of Li Sangmei, so why? Those who have watched the movie carefully should find that: Lee Sang-mi had the courage to take drugs at school, and dared to scold the head teacher from the Marine Corps. In the end, there was no shit, which shows that her family background is not shallow, and her father is from the Jun Doo-hwan military government. Senior official, second-generation standard officer. So the school did not dare to deal with her, but dealt with the Seven Sisters with great fanfare to divert their attention.
After Li Xiangmei scolded the teacher, she still went in and out of the school during the school celebration, indicating that the school did not dismiss her for contradicting the teacher. Everyone should know that South Korea during the military government period was very strict, and it was common for South Korean teachers to beat students, but students who spoke back would definitely be punished or dismissed, but Li Xiangmei seemed to have nothing to do.
Someone asked, there was someone on Li Sang-mi, why did the male teacher of the Marine Corps beat her? In my analysis, it may be because I didn't know the background at the beginning. After all, it is not a good thing for the father of a senior military government official to have such a daughter, and there is no need to publicize it. But later, perhaps the military government official, Lee Sang-mi's father, greeted the school leaders to protect his reputation after the injury. So later we only saw that the teacher beat the six sisters but not Li Xiangmei. According to the temper of the male teacher, if Li had no support, he would definitely be beaten and heavier than the six sisters.
But what is gratifying is that Lee Sang-mi’s later life was definitely not easy: after the democratization of South Korea in the early 1990s, the human rights atrocities of the former military government were successively liquidated. If Lee Sang-mi’s father was really a senior official of the military government and participated in the Gwangju Incident (Baidu Encyclopedia has it) , will definitely be held accountable (Chun Doo-hwan has been prosecuted until now), the reason why he did not play may be politically sensitive. (The Park Chung-hee era in the 1960s and 1970s and the Chun Doo-hwan era in the 1980s are the collective scars of entire generations for Koreans. In addition, the bureaucratic oligarchic favoritism in South Korea is still very serious, so it cannot be expressed too deeply. )
