Dukie is the weakest of the four children, and from the plot point of view, he should also be the most literate one. There is no direct description of his family in the play, but a lot of characterizations are made from the side. He has been on the fringes of the youth group since he was a child. He has an unpleasant odor from his peers and classmates, and every time he goes home, the debris piled up at the door, and his father (or brother) exudes a strong smell of poisonous insects. The audience showed the context of the environment in which the child grew up. He is taciturn, shy and cowardly, and has a sensitive mind that is rarely seen in black children. In Pryz's class, he showed an extraordinary understanding and ability to operate computers. He may be the first child on the street corner of Bacheng. A person who has access to and has an understanding of the Internet. He is deeply grateful to Pryz for his respect and care, and the school is the only place that can give him warmth. Even after ending up homeless and helpless and having to sleep at Michael's place, he still has nostalgia for the time he spent with Pryz.
It's just a pity that the night sky of Bacheng, the place where heaven and hell are only separated by a line, has never been good or evil.
Here, perhaps everyone knows that it is difficult to save oneself. In the eyes of Pryz watching him leave, and in the car that Micheal separated from, there was this helplessness and cruelty that had nothing to do with indifference.
