The movie focuses on bullying and tells the story of two teenagers, Chen Nian and Xiao Bei, looking up at the stars in the gutter together.

"You're too clean. You don't understand."

"Then I hope to use my soul to wash your dirty body, with me to protect the world."

This IS a THOUGHT-provoking film, let us walk into the "paradise" belonging to Chen Nian and Xiaobei

The story takes place in Class 30 of Enbridge Repeat School, where there are students who study hard, but also a girl who is troubled by school bullying. She is standing on the roof of the school, looking up at the world

Hu Xiaodie's last words before she fell were: "Why don't you do something?"

I believe that the vast majority of the class on Hu Xiaodie bullied things are informed. But no one told the teacher, no one stepped forward.

When Hu Xiaodie fell down the building, the whole school students just like watching the scene of the crime, but no one wanted to keep Hu Xiaodie in the world's last trace of good.

Chen looked at the red ink on the chair. She looked around at her classmates. No one stood up to stop the insulting prank.

When the news of her mother's debt was exposed, Chen felt no concern from her classmates. Instead, she was ridiculed and laughed at. Concerned about Chen Nian's classmate Li Xiang also just sat quietly.

In gym class, Chen Nian was shunned and refused to participate in group games; After that, he was verbally abused by Wei Lai and others and hit them with volleyball. Everyone turned a blind eye and no one ever came forward.

Chen Nian was deliberately pushed down the stairs. After seeing the classmates around, they asked: "Chen Nian, are you all right?" No one lifted her to her feet and took her to the school nurse's office.

Before ending her life, Hu Xiaodie asked Chen Nian: "Why don't you do something?" A young woman, saw the world's indifference, more want to ask the world, why see me bullied, why don't you do something?

Perhaps bystanders tell the teacher, can stop Wei Lai and others in time, perhaps Hu Xiaodie will not despair of the world, but no perhaps...... Hu Xiaodie eventually took her own life because she could not stand the bullying.

"Shut up if you want to live" - the words were met with laughter from the cinema as the teenagers' voices made everyone laugh.

Class saw the red ink on the stool, helpless Hu Xiaodie chose to endure, and Chen Nian chose to resist, never bend over, and let the teacher found.

On the way from school to see a stranger small north was a small mix, the general people will want to do more than one thing less one thing. Chen took out her mobile phone and called the police.

In the volleyball class was ignored by students, Wei Lai three people abuse and was beaten by volleyball, Chen Nian shouted: "There is no end?"

In the school hospital room recalled Hu Xiaodie's words, reflecting on their own and Li Xiang's cowardice, from the college entrance examination there is still a long month, it is very likely not to survive. Chen wanted to tell Officer Zheng the truth.

These "do something" actions, back to Chen Nian is not a peaceful life, but a variety of harm.

Red ink prank, Wei Lai et al on the way to stop Chen Nian from school, and beat it up, in order to show their dissatisfaction to Chen Read Hu Xiaodie cover clothes and cooperate with the police investigation.

Call the police to want to rescue the Chen Read of small north, not only did not succeed, but also was beaten, and broke the mobile phone and lost his few living expenses.

The rant in volleyball class resulted in Wei Lai pushing him down the stairs, making a fool of himself in front of his classmates, and injuring himself.

When the police were told the truth and found that they could not take action against the abusers, the school decided to suspend them from school, but they could still take the gaokao.

Without the prison of school to keep Wei Lai and others in check, Chen's situation became even more dangerous. After school to the door was subjected to the revenge of Wei Lai and others...

Everything that happened after Chen Nian resisted seemed to tell Chen Nian: "If you want to live, shut up."

On a deeper level, this sentence is an irony to the world. In the face of the darkness and injustice of the world, I have had the impulse to act on it, but the result of action is to see a lot of helplessness, and serious can damage their own life.

The world will never see the light when more and more people think "shut up if you want to live"... The faint sunlight in the sky will be obscured by more clouds, and the gloom will envelop the environment where everyone lives.

"It doesn't matter if I get beaten, it matters that I fight back."

Liu Beishan was abandoned by his mother at the age of 13 and lived alone in a cramped bungalow. He doesn't have the education, the culture, or even know what an escort is like other kids.

Since he was very young, he has been struggling in the society by himself, selling mobile phones to make a living. He is tattooed on the body, with the unique ruffian gas of the social punks.

His body was always covered in cuts and scars, as if he wanted to show how competent he was, to prove that he could protect the people he wanted to protect.

When he was injured, he was alone in the bathroom, licking his wounds and feeling terrible pain, but no one ever cared about him.

He faced Chen Nian's taunts that he could not defend himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not important to get beaten, but I will fight back."

Xiaobei is no longer like a simple teenager. His life does not allow him to be carefree, simple and clean. He had long known the rules of survival in this dark society -- to be bullied or to be bullied.

He felt that if he could only survive the beatings and the bullying of others, one day he would be able to fight back and be strong and never be bullied again.

He is a man who lives in the gutter, without a light in his heart, without a reason to feel that "the world is worth it."

Although he didn't look up at the stars, there was still a light in his heart. He knew that society was dark enough, and he didn't want any more people to step into the gutter and become people like him who couldn't turn back.

So he saw a child in the mahjong hall was abetted to do bad things, will stand up to provoke trouble, only to save the boy in time, don't let him go to the doomed.

"Can you protect me?"

Seemingly two lonely souls, fate brought them together. They are so alike, they both live in the gutter. Each other do not need to say more, just a look, you can read each other's real thoughts.

The teenager said to protect her for the first time, is in the mobile phone shop, laughing at her stupid, lightly said: "I can consider protecting you." But Chen Nian refused.

This little North is alive, he has to face the girl's lame and shy, will laugh at her stupid, will show their desire to protect.

After experiencing the fear of being bullied, Chen Nian, in order to succeed in the college entrance examination, took the initiative to come to Xiaobei and said to him: "Can you protect me? "We can see the helplessness of the girl and see her desperation.

And then the days --

In the monitoring on the road to and from school, always can see a small quiet girl in a school uniform skirt, wearing headphones, walking alone on the road, her nearby always can find a hoodie, wearing a hat to follow her footsteps.

At Xiao Bei's home, Xiao Bei buys her snacks, watches her study, leafs through her textbooks, and accompanies her to do whatever she wants.

Small north will hide Chen Read, to warn Wei Lai. The star of the cigarette flame, hot in Wei Lai's body, carved on the wall with a knife, clenched his teeth to leave a full of anger: "Don't touch Chen read." Only for Chen read in the future.

Xiao Bei will ride his motorcycle, take Chen Nian through the city's traffic, see the prosperity of the world; Take her to the flower and bird market, feel the beauty of the world.

Under the protection of Xiao Bei, Chen Nian gradually returned to a normal life and had more happiness and laughter than before. This kind of protection, let both people on the road to the better.

This period of time, no longer on behalf of the evil Wei Lai, no longer have the students laugh at, everything is so beautiful, life has become a temperature.

The film uses the montage technique to delineate the young and ignorant feelings of the two teenagers. Many small fragments let us feel the hazy love and outline the meticulous protection of Xiaobei for Chen Nian.

"Well, you protect the world and I'll protect you." Young Xiaobei to Chen Nian's commitment, is so moving.

In a school on the way, the intersection of the red light suddenly and, behind the small North can no longer keep up with Chen Nian's footsteps. This is where the story begins to turn...

Small north was arrested into the police station, Chen Nian lost protection. This is an accidental node that happens to have an accident. This time the school bullying tore apart Chen Nian's all good.

Her precious books were torn to pieces, her hair was made impossible to look at by the claws of scissors, her clothes were torn to shreds, and her body was covered with wounds...

Then the small north that releases from police station, run home to see such Chen Read, the fire takes three zhangs, very anxious to break Wei Lai corpse ten thousand segments. "How could they do that to the girl he held at the heart of his heart?"

The girl shaved off her head, became a tomboy, want to shave off the night humiliation; Young accompany her to keep a buzz cut, together in the face of the rising sun tomorrow. Bare-chested, they clicked the camera button to mark the moment when they were completely and truly in love.

When Xiao Bei learned that Chen Nian killed Wei Lai by mistake, he said to Chen Nian: "Do you believe me?"

When Wei Lai's death was revealed, Chen was still in the college entrance examination, the police began to investigate, arrest the murderer. And the small north is planning to protect Chen.

He imitates the gimmick of rapist, pretend oneself to be the murderer that kills Wei Lai, use same method false intention to violate Chen Nian, in order to get rid of Chen Nian's suspicion, let her be able to go to Beijing smoothly.

The teenager, who gambled his life, put it this way: "I like a person, I want to give her the best ending. I'm not losing until you win."

Your wish is so big, you want to get out, you want to escape this dirty life. I'd love to be with you, but I'm not big enough to protect the world like you are. Then I'll be here to protect you. Just protect you is enough, because you are my world.

Symbiosis refers to two organisms living together for mutual benefit, without each other, life will be greatly affected, even death.

The police officer Zheng Yi that discovers incident sign, place two people in interrogation room, undertake interrogation investigation afresh, want to find the truth behind.

Unfortunately, both of them survived the high-pressure interrogation and the police officers' attempt to use the "prisoner effect", and their answers were perfect and flawless. The two teenagers trust each other unconditionally and do not believe that each other will betray them.

Xiao Bei did not leave himself any way out. He gambled everything he had just for Chen to succeed. "Just walk out one of them."

During Xiaobei's time in the detention center, Chen scored 632 on the test, and there was no doubt that she would go to Beijing. But she found no more behind the teenager, without his protection, no longer he protect himself, he did not share the joys and sorrows with himself. This kind of life, it seems that they do not want.

In Zheng Yi lies, Chen Read after all still exposed the flaw, also admitted his crime.

In the one-minute unspoken eye contact between Chen Nian and Xiao Bei, we can see that they really understand each other through eye contact.

In the end, Chen Nian took the blame, and both of them got the punishment they deserved. Two people had experienced darkness together, ushered in sunshine...

After being released from prison, Chen Nian teaches English and leads a normal life. She still has the protection of Xiaobei behind her.

"You go ahead, I'll be right behind you." I exist, only to protect you all my life.

Only two people together, two souls are complete. Without each other's life, the surrounding things lose color. Even if I can go to a better place, it's nothing without you.

My home is where you are. Where you are, is where I should live. Where there is you, is the world I want to protect.
