Fang Shimian's abusive parents who had harsh educational methods. They turned his backpack inside out, found the pattern book gift from Grandpa Zhao, and discovered childish drawings on scrap paper as evidence of his declining grades. They humiliated and beat him, dragged him downstairs while he was limping, and burned his well-preserved books in a raging fire while holding him so he could not escape. His father had cold, stern eyes and his mother had a disappointed face. They have since gained freedom.
