"Despair" is a realistic film that's extremely educational and thought-provoking.
The female protagonist Xiao Mei (played by Weibao) is an ordinary high school student who grew up in a dysfunctional family, with a gambling-addicted father and a drug-abusing mother, who constantly argue and fight, leaving no peace at home.
Xiao Mei grew up in domestic violence, without any proper family education.
At school, people ridicule her, saying her father is a gambler and her mother a drug addict.
As a teenage girl going through her rebellious phase without proper guidance and enduring long-term domestic abuse and social ostracism at school, her personality became extremely rebellious, and one could even say distorted.
Her classmates isolated, squeezed out, and even mocked her, and she endured countless acts of school violence.
Finally, after a group of female students pinned her down on the school path and stripped her, she snapped, killed the ringleader, and then ran away.
