My parents are just average working class folk; capable, but ordinary.
Add onto that the title of 'top student' and it attracts some unfavourable attention. Yes, I'm talking about those guys led by Zhou Si...
He Lei's high school life was certainly not smooth sailing.
I don't know when it started, but getting beat up had become a daily occurrence. My limited allowance was forcibly handed over to those who didn't need it. They 'pranked' me in class, and after school, I was humiliated wherever they found convenient. They even stripped me naked in the toilets, save for my underwear, and tossed me into the classroom...
If it were anyone else with a weaker mentality, they would've transferred to another school or end their lives already. As for reporting to the police or something, well, that would only invite more shame.
But perhaps because he was either too dull or too broad-minded, He Lei did not choose to give up on life.
