There is a clip in "Ms. Oracle" where when the heroine was a child, at a cultural performance held at school, the girls all put on beautiful butterfly skirts and played the role of beautiful butterfly fairies.
The heroine wanted to wear a butterfly skirt, but the teacher refused to let her participate. After her repeated requests, the teacher finally agreed to let her perform, but she played the role of mothballs.
Sun Meng, a first-grade student, has not heard this story yet. She finished reading the book "Ms. Oracle" when she was in junior high school, so she understood early on that losing weight is not that important, as long as she is healthy.
It was also a performance program. This year’s Children’s Day, the girls’ group performance was very lively.
The lead singer standing in the C position was a cute, fair-skinned girl with all kinds of colorful flower ropes tied in her hair. The girls around her were all envious of her.
Seeing everyone wearing beautiful dresses and looking happy, six-year-old Sun Meng stood aside, feeling very uncomfortable.
At that time, the teacher asked who wanted to participate in the performance. Anyone could come, and those who wanted to come should raise their hands. Sun Meng really wanted to come, so she raised her hand on her own initiative, but the teacher seemed to see her and kept ignoring her.
Sun Meng was confused. After class, she mustered up the courage to ask the teacher, "Teacher, I raised my hand, why didn't you call on me?"
The teacher pretended to be confused: "Oh? Sun Meng, did you raise your hand? I didn't see it."
"How is that possible? I lifted it very high. Xiaoli behind me lifted it so low, but you saw it. How could you not see me?" The six-year-old girl was angry, but in the eyes of adults, this was nothing.
"Don't you trust the teacher? Sun Meng, talking back is not a good thing. And why didn't you raise your hand so actively when answering questions in class? Are you doing it now? Don't you look at your grades?"
When the teacher got angry, the children were scared to death. Sun Meng didn't dare to speak. Tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lower lip with her teeth, and her heart was full of grievances.
The matter was left unresolved, and Sun Meng could only watch them rehearse. As she watched, she began to cry.
At noon, Sun Meng's mother came to pick her up from school. Seeing her daughter in tears, the mother patiently asked about the situation.
"Mengmeng, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"It's the teacher."
"Why did the teacher bully you?"
"The teacher won't let me participate in the Children's Day program."
As Sun Meng spoke, his voice began to tremble, and he stumbled over the whole process.
Sun Meng's mother just comforted her, but as an adult, she felt that it was no big deal if she didn't want to participate.
But what may seem “no big deal” to adults may be extremely important to a six-year-old girl.
In the days that followed, Sun Meng cried every day. Many adults were puzzled as to why this child had such a sad face every day while other children were happy.
The day of the show was approaching, and Sun Meng mustered up her courage again. She volunteered once again, but was impatiently rejected by the teacher again.
In fact, Sun Meng performed very well and she liked it very much. During the rehearsal, a girl didn't want to act anymore. She knew that Sun Meng wanted to act, so she took the initiative to switch with Sun Meng.
"Sun Meng, you want to act, right? I don't want to act, so you can go to my seat."
"Really? You're not going to act anymore?" Sun Meng was excited and couldn't believe it.
"I'm not going to act anymore. Go ahead."
Seeing the girl so determined, Sun Meng went. Everyone looked at her strangely, and some asked her why she came.
After a brief explanation, everyone started rehearsing.
Sun Meng is really good, hardworking and excellent, much better than that girl, and even stands out among this group of people. Everyone also thinks that Sun Meng’s acting is good.
At this time, the teacher brought a teacher from another class to see her results. She wanted to show off these graceful children she had found.
As soon as she entered the door, she was stunned. Among the group of graceful children, there was a discordant element, a chubby and clumsy little Pikachu.
The teacher was furious and shouted, "Sun Meng, who asked you to make trouble? Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of losing points for destroying the class's honor?"
The teacher's loud scolding scared everyone, especially Sun Meng, who broke out in a cold sweat.
The teacher beside her stopped her and said, "Don't scold the children. Look, they dance very well, especially the chubby child. She dances very hard and is very cute."
Maybe this teacher was praising Sun Meng from the bottom of her heart, but in the eyes of Sun Meng's teacher, she was just mocking her. In Yin Yang, she was even angrier now, but she didn't dare to get angry at her colleagues, so she took out all her anger on Sun Meng.
When Sun Meng heard these words, she didn't think they were compliments. She thought this teacher and her own teacher were mocking her, and she burst into tears again.
Sun Meng was severely scolded. Just because she was fat, she lost the opportunity to participate in Children's Day. She also lost interest from then on. In the next seven or eight years, she would not sign up for any activities, whether it was Children's Day in elementary school or the art festival in junior high school.
In the days that followed, Sun Meng was often ridiculed for her figure and appearance. She started to lose weight, but she didn't lose weight and her height didn't grow. Seeing other girls who were all over 1.6 meters tall and had slim figures, while she was only 1.5 meters tall and chubby, she felt very inferior.
Sun Meng has been dissed about her appearance since she grew up, and gradually evolved into a girl with short hair. Some ignorant people called her a "tomboy".
Sun Meng has lost a lot of weight over the years and is now just slightly plump. Due to the heavy workload in high school, she no longer takes the time to get a haircut, but just casually braids her hair.
The change in appearance will eventually attract some people's attention. That time, Sun Meng went to another school to participate in an essay competition. In the car, she deeply felt that someone was touching her. When she turned around, she saw it was a man, and he was still smiling.
Sun Meng was frightened. She quickly left the place, took a step forward, and got off the bus at the next stop.
This incident reminded her of the later plot of "Ms. Oracle". When the heroine was fat, everyone laughed at her and despised her, but when she really lost weight, everyone felt it was dangerous, and some men also started to do unfriendly things to her.
Sun Meng lost weight, and these things really happened. As she grew along the way, she gradually became more confident, but she also faced new challenges.
After several years of hard work, Sun Meng's family opened a supermarket and they lived a decent life. She studied hard and achieved good grades. Since she met Li Miaomiao, who rented a house on the same campus, her English grades have also improved by leaps and bounds.
The college entrance examination was approaching. After Li Miaomiao finished tutoring Sun Meng at her home, Sun Meng said to her, "Sister, I feel that my growth path is very complicated. I don't know what college will be like."
"No matter what college is like, just be yourself."
Yes, you may fall into the same predicament as the Oracle Lady, but as long as you insist on being yourself, perhaps the road will become brighter.
