Features: The Bitter Fruit teaches us that only by grounding sexual culture in a responsibility ethic can we truly avoid the problem of sexual crimes. Without targeted care, growth inevitably goes astray. Let us come together to focus on and nurture the unripe flowers, helping children smoothly navigate their adolescence. This book is China's first report on the current sexual issues among Chinese adolescents. The author spent four years traveling across most of China, interviewing thousands of people, and conducted a comprehensive investigation into the sexual status quo of contemporary Chinese adolescents. Through numerous vivid cases, the book reveals the problems in current Chinese adolescent sexual education and provides in-depth analysis from psychological, physiological, sociological, and pedagogical perspectives. The writing is sharp and the narrative concise, expressing a severe concern and profound reflection on the issue of adolescent sexual education. It is a rare and eye-opening work.
In Mr. Sang Di's report literature The Bitter Fruit—A Report on Sexual Issues Among Chinese Adolescents, the problems in contemporary Chinese adolescent sexual education revealed are shocking! While we lament the ignorance and folly of these flower-like children, we also continuously seek the soil that breeds such evil, wondering who cultivated these flowers of wickedness? Throughout the book, Mr. Sang Di constantly reminds readers that children are pure and beautiful, and every victim is at the flower-like age. Little girls are exquisite and beloved by all, originally possessing a bright future like the sun. What does Mr. Sang Di want to tell us? I believe he wants us to step out of the guilty facts and follow him from another perspective to read, reflect, and awaken! He wants to tell people to examine their behavior and cherish these beautiful children, whether they are their own children or others' flesh and blood.
This report also raises a profound social issue: the vast amount of unhealthy reading materials, films, and pornography on the internet, as well as unhealthy factors in family life and distorted psychological tendencies. This is a global problem, and it is precisely these negative social influences that bring disastrous consequences to the healthy growth of adolescents. When inexperienced adolescents awaken to their sexual awareness, the internal sexual impulses clash with their mental restraint. Once there is a provocation or they are influenced, they are prone to sexual misconduct or crime, crossing the dangerous threshold to become juvenile offenders. These children, who become criminals at such a young age, have their youth nailed to the of history, filling their originally flower-like lives with hardships.
