1. Always Boys

I also want to have an experienced senior who can teach me how to get along with boys, teach me how to communicate with strangers, teach me how to brag, teach me how to repair houses, teach me what is integrity, what is dignity, what is honor, what is honor Sacrifice... But, whether it's "Good Will Hunter", "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", even "Classic Car", why is the one who was taught always a boy?

2. Stranger

White's relationship with children and neighbors reminds me of Luffy's relationship with Grandpa and Shanks in One Piece. We always ignore the love and concern of our family, but we often remember the kindness of strangers in our hearts. I saw on Zhihu, Q: What is the performance of low emotional intelligence? A: Be respectful to strangers, and get angry at people close to you.

3. Laggards

It's not the tough guy who is muscular, but the one who never compromises. White rejects the times, stubbornly lives in the 21st century in the way of the 1950s. Therefore, he was also rejected by the times... On the back of the desk of the third grade of Sakaguchi Ango Junior High School, there is this sentence: Yu will become a great laggard and one day reappear in history. Commenting on Poe, Baudelaire, and Ishikawa Woodpecker in his memoirs, he said, I love both their literature and their status as laggards. Dongmu, probably also a laggard.
