He is just an ordinary student who likes painting, wants to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and works hard to pursue his dream. But because of a heroic act, he was targeted by powerful people and became a daily entertainment toy.
He tried to cry out to everyone for help, but the teacher asked "Why doesn't he bully others?" And his mother said, "Be patient and just graduate." After the police intervened, the bully returned to school within a few days, stepped on the administrative penalty decision, and pushed his face into the mud. The classmate lowered his head to check his cell phone, and the girl who had peeked at him took a detour. Every time he asked for help, it was like a pair of hands pushing him one more foot into the abyss.
Until he stopped asking for help and turned into a devil, fighting violence with violence.
When the police opened the sketchbook after the incident, they painted the full picture of the tragedy: If only one person had stopped, if a teacher had asked the right questions, if that call to the police had really protected him, none of this would have happened.
Ten years later, Lu Wantang went to Li Mo's hometown because of guilt, but no one could find anyone to say that he was sorry for being late for his entire youth.
On the way back, she drove past an intersection, and a truck that ran a red light came from the side at high speed. At that moment, the windshield shattered into millions of light spots, the last thing that appeared in her mind was the autumn when she was seventeen. As the sycamore leaves fell into the classroom, he raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes clear and his features picturesque.
Suddenly, Lu Wantang woke up from his sleep.
In the classroom, his deskmate Li Mo was quietly sharpening a pencil. His cuffs were clean, his fingertips were stained with a little charcoal dust, and a sycamore leaf fell in front of him.
