Fang Lan watches helplessly as her daughter leaps from the rooftop, clutching a torn-up homework book from ten years earlier and the words "Mom, save me" written in blood.
Only then does she learn that her daughter's so-called "classmates joking around" meant being locked in the bathroom and doused with cold water every day, dead rats stuffed into her desk, and the entire class joining together to write "Go die!" That was school bullying.
When Fang Lan opens her eyes again, she has returned to 1995, when her daughter is in elementary school.
The little girl in her arms sobs, "Mom, they took my eraser and called me a bastard with no dad..."
In her previous life, she'd brushed it off with, "Just ignore them." This time, she takes her daughter's hand and says, "Come on. I'll teach you what it means to get even on the spot!"
When the bully's parents show up arrogantly at her door, saying, "They're just kids fooling around. Why is your daughter so sensitive?"
Fang Lan pulls out a cassette tape and fires back, "Fine. Tomorrow, I'll broadcast the highlights of your son's 'fooling around' over the school loudspeakers on repeat!"
When the homeroom teacher tries to smooth things over, saying, "It takes two to tango..."
She slaps him right there and asks, "Was that loud enough? If not, I can do it again!"
