On the first day of his senior year of high school, Corey, a lonely top student, met transfer student Qi Xiuyuan, a basketball boy as dazzling as the sun, in the library. A knocked over book, a forced fate of sitting at the same table, made two parallel lines suddenly intersect.
Purpose: 1. The self-consistency and courage of youth - through the dual perspectives of Ke Rui (a self-suppressed genius) and Qi Xiuyuan (an anxious person who pretends to be cheerful), revealing the tear between group identity and self-identity among teenagers - Key image: the torn book symbolizes that the integrity of personality can only be achieved through self-acceptance 2. The educational significance of love - a comparison of two kinds of "love": ? The controlling love of Ke Rui's father ("You have become a pervert")? Qi Xiuyuan's mother's companionship love ("Mom is more afraid of you lying to yourself") - Core conflict: When family affection inflicts harm in the name of "for your own good", does an individual have the right to resist? 3. The dilemma of the silent majority - Supporting role portrait design: ? The monitor who pretends not to see the bullying (egoism)? The girl who secretly gives a comfort note to Chris (silent kindness)? The teacher who takes the lead in applauding at the graduation party (power's redemptive responsibility for the weak) - Social metaphor: using school micro-society to reflect the group's systematic rejection of "others"
