The lucky ones may choose to forget it, or seal it in a corner of their hearts.
But there are also people who are not lucky enough and have to spend their whole lives repairing the damage they suffered in childhood, or even embark on another path of no return.

"The King of Pigs" (Chinese translation) is a drama based on this theme of school violence. Although it has only been updated for 4 episodes, it is already creepy.
This drama is a remake of the cartoon of the same name. It mainly tells the story of people who adapt to violence and power in the small society of middle school, who are called "pigs". It tells the story of how they live in despair with a sense of inferiority and inferiority. A story of resistance. Memories of school days are interspersed with the latest reality. When scenes of bullying appear, it makes people feel suffocated every minute.

The two male protagonists of the plot, Zheng Jongsuk and Huang Jingmin, are both parties who have experienced school violence.
When faced with violence, the two people chose different ways of coping. Huang Jingmin suffered domestic violence from his father when he was a child, so when he knew that resistance and feedback were ineffective, he chose to tolerate and accept flattery, but he received even more intensified violence and abuse. . When
grew up, he originally lived a peaceful and happy life, but on a thunderstorm night, the memory of the violence he had encountered was rekindled by the photo album in the old house. He was tortured because he did not receive timely treatment.
When the wife found that she could not help her husband, she chose a path of no return and prepared to commit suicide with her husband by taking medicine and burning charcoal. However, Huang Jingmin, who already had a foundation of drug resistance, woke up midway. After rescuing his wife to no avail, he died. He left his words to Zongshuo at the scene and fled the scene, starting his crazy road of revenge.
However, his childhood friend Zheng Zongshuo chose to exercise more to improve his physical fitness and then fight back when violence occurred. Although judging from the current plot, the victory of the counterattack is only temporary, and will usher in more serious consequences.

In addition to experiencing violence from classmates, the class teacher at the time was actually another perpetrator. During Zongshuo's resistance, he wrote an anonymous letter to report the then acting monitor (one of the perpetrators), but was deceived by the monitor for other reasons.
In the plot that has been updated so far, the two male protagonists have not contacted each other since junior high school. Their once close friends have also embarked on different paths. Zong Shuo has become a policeman and is related to Jing Min again. But it was at the death scene where Jing Min's wife committed suicide and another murder scene. Jing Min left a message at the scene for Zong Shuo, and a chase between the police and the murderer began.
As the plot and the case progressed, Zongshuo also recalled those suffocating times on campus. Faced with those memories and the attitude of the perpetrators, how would Zongshuo choose? Will he join Jingmin and the others in their revenge? Will the team follow up as soon as possible and help their old friends return to the right path again? It is currently unknown how
will end, but judging from the current plot, Jing Min's revenge will not stop, and the then acting squad leader, who grew up to become a doctor, will be the next target of revenge.
It is indeed horrifying that people who encounter violence become perpetrators of violence.
Violence itself is a terrible word. In the face of violence and its sequelae, how to deal with it, and what responsibilities society should bear, these may be the things this drama wants to explore.
I hope there will be less violence in our lives, and I hope everyone will not become perpetrators or victims of violence.
