Wuyi transferred schools and skipped classes in high school, engaging in inappropriate behavior with her art teacher Du Pi. Her parents' abnormal marital life also had some negative impact on her. Later, Wuyi attended the art college where Du Pi worked and began living with him. Du Pi eventually married the niece of the department head, Old Feudal, while Wuyi was expelled from school due to her unserious attitude toward life.
In the story, her roommate, Bao Ye, lived a life of unrestrained indulgence, and the dorm head, Liang Mianzhen, became Bao Ye's stepmother in class. Bao Ye, who had no academic achievements, married a French woman.
The restless youth, the absurdity of adulthood, were vividly depicted by a 21-year-old girl with effortless brushwork, appearing lifelike and relatable. This group of "communal beetles" were none other than the classmates and companions we took for granted, the boys and girls our parents held in high hope. Schools are not sanctuaries. Faced with the increasingly early physical and psychological maturity of young people, and the rise of moral corruption and the erosion of responsibility in the face of economic pressures, it is shocking and thought-provoking. This is absolutely not a reflection of societal progress. So, is it a necessary cost of societal advancement? This book reveals, from one perspective, the necessity and urgency of providing positive guidance to students.
