Arthur, a girl from the mountains of eastern Sichuan, failed the art exam and has extremely high self-esteem. Mingjuan, her brother-in-law who married into her daughter-in-law, took advantage of her weakness of fear of rumors and respect for dignity and violated her. In order to preserve the family reputation, she endured it. After an unexpected pregnancy, she broke into a black clinic privately and got rid of the root cause of the disease. She eventually died of a long illness, and Mingjuan also committed suicide due to the guilt.
Purpose: 1. Criticize the deformed secular discipline that binds women with face and rumors in isolated rural areas, and expose the absurdity of "valuing face over human life"; 2. Expose the survival plight of victims who are forced to remain silent due to shame and family reputation, and show the secondary harm to women caused by public opinion prejudice; 3. Analyze the twisted human nature of the perpetrator under the disguise of gentleness, and the tragedy of the shackles of face eventually swallowing up two lives; 4. Reflect on how vanity, gossip, and traditional ethics can become invisible cages that trap the weak.
