There is an old saying in China, "Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves thinking". Many people have a certain misunderstanding of this sentence. In fact, this sentence refers to a kind of spirit, a kind of persistence, and a kind of swearing not to give up until the goal is achieved. The stubbornness, in the words of this movie, is a word for "axis".
Xiaogui lost the car sent to them by the courier company - the guy he ate; Xiaojian stole 500 yuan from his family and bought this dirty car at the used car market, both of them thought it was something that should belong to them, They all try their best to take back the ownership of the car. In the woods by the river, under the tattered mats of the alley, and on a certain floor of the unfinished building, they are persistently fighting for their ownership of the car. Even at the cost of bloodshed.
Although on the surface, Xiaojian is a native born and bred, in fact, he is not much stronger than Xiaogui. They are all weak, one is a helpless foreigner who is questioned, reprimanded, abused, beaten When the time came, he could only repeat: "That's my car, my car." How serious is the word "axle" for the things that belong to you? And the other, he will resist people and things that take away his beloved things, but to no avail, his stepmother, his sister who has no blood relationship with him, the original owner of the dirty car, who took his girlfriend away The rascal, he could only continue to stare at the shining eyes, puzzled at what he couldn't understand.

At the end of the film, Xiaojian made his craziest resistance, using a brick to knock down the hooligan who stole his girlfriend, then swaggeringly lit a cigarette, and said to Xiaogui: "Ride the car away. , no need to return it", maybe this is a hint that he is saying goodbye to his ignorant 17-year-old youth in this way, and since then, he has to learn to think in another way.
Also at the end of the film, Xiaogui also made his craziest resistance. He also used a brick to knock down another hooligan who was concentrating on destroying his bicycle. Then, he picked up the car and crossed the city's traffic without his head. back. Perhaps this is also a hint that he is saying goodbye to his past in this way, and that from now on, he will protect his own interests in a different way.

There are a few other people who are more "axis" in the film. The first is the little nanny played by Zhou Xun. She stole things from the host's house and sold them. In Xiaogui's house, he went back to look for him, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, treating Xiaogui as nothing, and he was also a persistent person.
The second is the local hooligan. After being beaten by Xiaojian, he gathered a group of brothers all over the world to chase Xiaojian back to find the place. The footprints of the chase almost covered the entire hutong, and the persistence was enough. .
In the end, it was the local hooligan who was hit by a brick from Xiaogui. After the team beat Xiaogui and Xiaojian and evacuated them, he still insisted on killing Xiaojian's car. The point is to take a cigarette to relieve fatigue, and the kick was so devoted that Xiaogui was unaware that the brick in his hand appeared behind him, and was finally won by one move.

Maybe, the characters in the film are all 17 years old, maybe, this is what they see as 17 years old in their eyes, running, chasing, anger, dreams, this is what they are all about when they are 17 years old.
