Undoubtedly, although Zhang Yue was born in a slum, her grades really made her father proud. So she not only went to Mori High School for free, but also received a considerable scholarship to subsidize her family income.
It was on the night eight days ago that she and four girls, Yurong, Hai'an and Wen Xi, who were in the same dormitory, experienced a terrible experience that would never be forgotten for life!
Some people always find ways to relieve themselves when they are under great pressure. However, some people are overwhelmed by the pressure and finally jump down from the building to end their lives.
Yurong is undoubtedly someone who can mediate her own pressure.
The pressure on private schools is much greater than that of ordinary high schools. China advocates education. Whether it is from an average family or a good family, parents usually start to inject blood into their own children as soon as they are born. They try their best to send their children to the best private schools in the local area.
Private schools usually adopt the last-place elimination system. It’s okay for rich and powerful students, even if they have extremely poor grades, they will not be eliminated by private schools. However, it’s hard to say for those students with average family backgrounds who receive school scholarships.
The end-elimination system of Moriri High School in Chuncheng is particularly cruel.
Students who are exempt from high tuition fees like Zhang Yue and are also given scholarships according to their grades. Their pursuit of academic performance is endless. After all, every time they take a test, once they do not enter the top 10 of the class, students who are sprinting to the school’s prestigious school list will be persuaded to withdraw by the school.
Senior high school is in the sprint stage. Once you are persuaded to leave, it is difficult to find another school to accept it. If you don’t accept it, you will not be able to get into a university. If you can’t get into a good university, you will not be able to find a job.
If you can't find a good job, you will live like your parents' poor appearance.
Fortunately, Zhang Yue's grades have always been good. Not to mention the top five in the class, she can get into the top five. And the three roommates in her dormitory, Yurong, Hai'an and Wen Xi are almost the same as her, all of whom are free students, and their grades are all good.
Moreover, their 402 girls dormitory has a deep relationship.
"Have you heard that there was a girl in Class 2 last night. Because she got the 11th place in the exam, the school said she wanted to persuade her to give up. As a result, she couldn't think about it for a while, so she climbed up to the top of the teaching building that night and jumped down. The next morning, the cleaner found the body and was so scared that she didn't recover for a long time." Yurong was browsing her phone while gossiping.
"Of course I heard that the body fell terrible. The police came soon. It is said that the school has very strong public relations skills. They gave the girl's parents some compensation and suppressed the matter." Hai'an previewed on the desk.
Wen Xi was reading extracurricular books and sighed: "The lives of people in school are worthless. How many people have jumped off the building this year?"
"Third, right." Zhang Yue slammed her mouth: "The small garden under our teaching building is almost a ghost garden. You're wondering, why do everyone choose to jump off the building in the same place on the roof of the teaching building?"
"Maybe it's the broken window effect?" Wen Xi held her glasses and said intellectually: "There is a survey in the United States that if someone throws a piece of paper on a very clean street, someone will throw garbage in the place where the paper is thrown. As more and more people throw garbage, that place will eventually become a garbage dump.
The same is true for jumping off a building. Because the first person jumped off a building and committed suicide there. All those who could not withstand pressure and had a potential suicide tendency will subtly follow their original intentions. Subconsciously, they regard the place where the suicide commits suicide as one of the choices for suicide.
So many places, because of the broken window effect, have become holy places for suicides. For example, the famous hangneck forest in Japan. Many people end their lives there every year."
Yurong sighed: "I just really can't understand those students who committed suicide. Since they are not afraid of death, why are they afraid of continuing to live? Ending their lives without authorization, and their parents' white-haired and black-haired people are too cruel to their parents. I absolutely cannot commit suicide, and I will never do it anyway."
"That's because you can adjust yourself and your grades are very good, and you don't have a sense of crisis for the time being." Wen Xi said lightly: "I can understand them. But life is not just about getting into a good university, this is the path. No matter how understanding you understand, I will not take the path of giving up everything."
Zhang Yue burst out laughing: "You guys, why did you start discussing such a heavy outlook on life? Should we make an appointment on Saturday? I heard that another dessert shop has been opened in Chengmao Building. The owner is a dessert master from Hong Kong. It is said that the taste is super explosive."
"I want to go." When three girls who were discussing life heard the dessert, little stars began to appear in their eyes.
The night outside the window became thicker, and at this moment, the girl's dormitory, which was originally bright, suddenly fell into darkness.
"Dear, it's time to turn off the power again." Yurong murmured: "Sisters, turn on the emergency flashlight."
The school charges the electricity on time at 10:30 in the evening to let students sleep. However, most senior high school students are nervous in their studies and are absolutely impossible to sleep on time. Many people often study hard until one or two o'clock in the evening. Therefore, almost everyone always has rechargeable LED desk lamps and flashlights for nighttime needs.
But tonight, it seemed a bit weird. There was no sign of warning at all.
"No, it's only nine o'clock now, and it's less than ten o'clock. Why is the school turning off the electricity? Is it a power outage?" Zhang Yue looked at her phone. It's only about nine o'clock now, and it's more than half an hour before turning off the power switch.
She climbed down from the bed and ran to the window to take a look. It was strange that except for her 402 dormitory, other girls' dormitory, including the boy's dormitory building opposite, were all brightly lit.
Zhang Yue walked to the door and turned on and off a few times. The light didn't respond. It was still dark and didn't light up.
"Does your socket have electricity?" she asked casually.
Yurong plugged the power supply of the phone, but the phone couldn't charge: "The socket is not powered."
A gust of wind blew in from outside the window, causing the four girls to shivered suddenly. The window was knocked closed by the wind, and a loud noise was made.
Zhang Yue shivered: "It's so cold. It's obviously summer, why is this wind so cold that it's bone-bone?"
Yurong shrank her neck, and she was happy to use Douyin. The pressure of learning was very high, and Yurong usually relied on Douyin to relieve the pressure. Suddenly, just as her fingers were slashing the screen, a strange Douyin short video was refreshed.
"Hey, what's this for? This girl is so strange." Yurong blinked a few times. Usually, short videos only last fifteen seconds, short and superb.
Each video expresses a theme.
