Today is my third day of quarantine life, everything is alright, my temperature is normal (36.7), i am not coughing. However, it is getting real boring, my daily routine is basically sleep, wake up and eat and go back to sleep. Sometimes i just stand by the window to wait and see staff of the hotel coming in and out of the hotel with our meals, which is the only exciting things basically, is to eat, the food are quite nice. I got 12 days to go.
The film that i am recommending today is about violence in school which is called Better Days. The film is set in the time period before the Gaokao, a girl who is the victim of school violence was found dead in the school and was soon being identified as a suicide incident, students in the school were busying with texting and taking pictures, the leading character Chen Nian covered the girl with her uniform. Her action made her the next target, she was madly retaliated for calling the police. Those who did nothing was safe but people who tried to stop the violence was implicated and bullied. People who’t realize the seriousness until someone is killed because of it. In the film, well-off wealthy students are actually the initiator of the evil of the school bullying, while the dawdling punk is the one who take action to protect the weak. In the film, when Chen does not fight back, she got bullied, when she fights back, she got bullied, when Chen is protected by the Xiao Bei (the dawdling punk who is protecting her), Wei Lai (the girl who bullies Chen Nian), the bully got even worse. It’s like Chen can never get rid of Wei until Wei was pushed by Chen and fell of the stairs and died.
Sometimes in real life, i found children, teenagers quite scary, and it is because they do not know how to handle themselves, they sometimes are very impulsive, they always push things to the extreme end. In news i heard kids shoved a girl form a subway platform because the girl was refused to share her snacks. Also, teenager who strip off the girls clothes and insult the girl and spread it all over the internet triumphantly. Of course i understand it is only a small portion of the whole population, still their impact is huge. Aggression is to some extent biological determined, but it can also be learned by imitation and cognitive priming like violent video game and social media, in this case, i think parents need to pay more attention and spend more times with them and guide them. But anyway, this is the film i would like to recommend today, and you could find out what really happened to Chen Nian yourself. Bye Bye.
