The Young and Dangerous series should be a shared memory of this generation. I don't know how much contribution it has made to the soaring juvenile crime rate in China, hehe. I remember when I was in elementary school when I first came into contact with Young and Dangerous movies, Chen Haonan, Pheasant, and Da Fei were simply god-like characters. Countless little kids imitated it one after another. What everyone compares with each other is not academic performance or family background, but who they beat and who they know. They are all proud of getting to know socially disadvantaged youth. After I went to junior high school, it was even worse. Back then, I had a small fight a day, a big fight every three days, and a fight every five days. Later, I set up a stall at the gate of the school to sell machetes and chains. I had to admire small businessmen. The business sense of a hawker. It was not until the outbreak of the largest teenage brawl in the history of Hebei Province that it subsided.
Looking back on those days slowly, I didn't feel wasted or ashamed. I feel that youth is to be so indulgent and uninhibited. When I go out with a big laugh in the sky, how can I be a Penghao people? At this age, I have to be careful in everything I do, and I am afraid of offending others with a single word. It is only through movies to find the lost wildness.
This type of school violence movie is still better in Asia, after all, the cultural values are more converging. From the "Young and Dangerous" series in the 1990s to Nicholas Tse's "My Savage Classmate", to South Korea's "Circle of Violence", "Fate" to today's "Hot-Blood High School". Through more and more exaggerated violent methods to vent the backlog of depression, yy's lost youth.
