Better Days (2009)

-
'Better Days' is a Chinese film that was released in 2009. It tells the story of a girl named Chen Nian who is bullied by her classmates. One day, she meets a mysterious young man named Xiao Bei. While she copes with the stress and pressure of her final exam, an unexpected friendship is formed between them, and Xiao Bei plays the role of protector from her bullies.

I watched this because a friend of mine recommended it, it definitely did not disappoint. I was a little hesitant at first because I don't have much experience with Chinese films but I am so glad I watched this one.

Honestly, I love everything about this. The main leads have great chemistry and miraculous acting, which definitely help the characters be more alive. This movie also tells you about the effects of bullying, and it is great to spread awareness of the topic. I definitely encourage you to watch this, do prepare some tissues though.

My blog isn't just a review blog, it seems like... might need to rebrand soon, lol. So I'm sitting in my room in front computer right now, feeling very bloated from my dinner and the soda drink I just had, and I actually have no idea what my dream job is. I've always dreamed of having money, just not how I will make said money. I think I just pray I will manage to get my life back together at some point and get a well-paying job, or marry a rich man and be a trophy wife… Honestly, it is a fact at this point that I'm lazy. So if I'm being very frank right now, I'll probably choose something that's easy. The problem is: there isn't a job that is easy, and that equals to me being very sad. I remember asking my mom what I should be when I grow up, and she answered with “Just be a doctor!”, saying it would be nice for me to help people. Now, when I look back, I think of how that's such a generic asian parent answer, and she probably only said it because...

 As of July 31st, 2025, I am 14 years old.  I've been a teenager for a full whole year now, and it's kind of unbelievable. With this age, people-- plenty  of people had asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" or "Which universities do you want to go to? What are your plans for the future?" And that's only normal, almost expected, honestly. I know many people go through these kinds of questions in their teenage years. But, you know, that also doesn't remove the fact that it's bloody annoying (see how I used a British word there? I'm a true Cambridge student for real 🔥🔥). I mean, what do you actually  expect from teenagers? I think society overestimates teenagers' ability to make big, impactful decisions like that, and it's true, because I say so. But, some people actually asks fun  questions, questions I can answer. Like, "How many slides do you want to put in your private waterpark?", or something (the answer i...
