    The author's autobiographical novel is incredibly oppressive and suffocating. Whether it's her mother threatening to harm her or the childhood imprisonment, it's hard to believe a mother could do such things. It highlights the suffocating nature of Chinese-style education and the immense psychological damage it inflicts on children. The entire town is suffocating; whether it's the cult, the bullying, or the condemnation of Teacher Li only after Zhou Yun's death, we witness, through Yan Yizhi's perspective, the values ​​she built up step by step from childhood being shattered piece by piece.
