In the winter of 2022, with a pivotal meeting taking place and a school leadership election concluding, the charismatic leader, the principal, was compelled to step down. Subsequently, schools underwent a series of transformations, adopting militarized management. A middle school student, who had placed his hopes in top-down reforms, saw his illusions shattered completely. He seized the opportunity of a farewell event for the principal to call for a strike, in an attempt to alter the school's system. However, under the suppression of the authorities and the betrayal of his peers, his efforts collapsed. On the brink of despair, is it the death of idealism, or the evolution of Utopianism? A bizarre allegory unfolds, revealing layers of meaning.
