The novel begins with my father's funeral.At the chaotic and noisy funeral, as the driver woke up with his voice hoarse, I met my childhood friend Andre.He was dressed exactly as he remembered, and he was carrying a tattered schoolbag like a freshly severed head—Andre was already a mental patient at this time.The box of memory slowly opened at this moment:

Finally, in order to help - me - the place to study abroad was not manipulated in secret, he used a piece of paper with big charactersReporting ruined my final study career in junior high school.He is not only a friend, but more like the protector who fought against the tyranny of the school on behalf of me when I was a boy.

But Andre's time seemed to have stopped in junior high school, and he was in the hospital.He is just a shadow of the genius boy he once was. He used his sharp edges to stubbornly confront the education system and social rules. He failed and went crazy.

At the end of the novel, Andre said goodbye to me: "Don't forget to take the pencil from the desk. I have pen water here, so don't forget to take it. I also have straw paper here, please take some.""The words he used to say goodbye to me when I was in junior high school were the same as when I was walking from the back row of the classroom to the front row.The back row is a place of exile for education, while the front row is filled with the expectations of parents and teachers, and the future is promising.

Andre used the same words to bid farewell to me again, and my future was promising, becoming a drop of water that smoothly merged into the times, and Andre, who once liked to ponder all kinds of wonderful questions andThe young man with a strong academic talent was extinguished by the streamlined education system and a social environment that was extremely low on personal choice.

“We are all too small, and we are not worthy of taking the entire era as our opponent. We should stand with the era. In other words, we must first make a difference.”——My advice to my friends didn’t seem to work. My friend Andre, a little pebble, tried to hold on to his position, but was eventually crushed by the waves.
