This is a movie which probes into “Campus Bully”. Through bullying incidents in elementary school, the movie reflects the often forgotten or neglected conflicts hidden under the tranquil appearance of the modern school yard, and highlights the misconception about present education on “how to face conflicts”.
Xiao Zhi was a small, slender and weak upper year elementary school student. In order to avoid conflicts, Xiao Zhi bore with the bullying forced upon him, but could not avoid being bullied over and over again. His friend Ding Ding was a girl full of sense of justice. She always stood up against the bullies and often protected Xiao Zhi from the bullies. However, she was still unable to prevent Xiao Zhi from being hurt. Ah Chiang, the head of the bullies, was prejudice against gender identity, and would use practical jokes as means to resist socialization and to attract attention from his peers fun. However, as his tactics became serious, his actions may become against the law.
This movie is presented as a 2D cartoon animation. The movie uses simple and practical events in segmented structure and through the view point of the children to probe into the mental journey of those associated with the bullies, and to demonstrate the resistance thrust hidden in the modern world, and the phenomenon of how gender identity affects the values of the children. It is the intention of this educational movie to assist teachers to teach the children about cognition, self protection and respect for others.
