Director‘s Statement:
Since I was a child, I often feel a sense of powerlessness as an individual in this social environment. We are always instilled with the idea of "sacrificing the individual for the collective", but who is this "collective"? Are those unreasonable regulations for the sake of the collective or the interests of a few people? Or just as a fig leaf for formalism? Undoubtedly, the rule of "short hair" itself is one of the evils under formalism. The purpose of formulating and defending this rule is neither really to consider the students, nor to respect the demands and dignity of the students as individuals. They just In order to have a more orderly and uniform arrangement of students. Xiao Ruan and Jiang Yu are both victims of the school's "short haircut" policy, and they have been carefully protecting each other. Like most middle and high school students in reality, they chose not to have a direct confrontation with the school, but avoided Didn't make things better.
