"Big brother, you can't escape."
Lu Chenghuai had known since he was ten that what he wanted was his older brother.
He spent ten years laying the groundwork, making his brother depend on him and unable to leave him.
Then he locked his brother up for a year.
"I'm not hurting you. I'm loving you."
His brother escaped.
Three years later, they met again.
The younger brother said, "I won't lock you up anymore."
The older brother said, "Then who's going to cook for me?"
The cage is open, but the person inside doesn't want to leave.
Is this Stockholm syndrome, or love?
The answer doesn't matter.
What matters is that they both chose to be "sick."
