He grew up in an unhappy family, his mother a typical rural woman, his father a habitual drunkard.
Every time he came home drunk, he would beat his mother.
His mother would always hold him tightly in her arms, gritting her teeth without making a sound.
Tian Wei, who grew up in this environment of domestic violence, was introverted and insecure, sensitive and fragile.
At school, with this kind of personality, he was often bullied by his classmates.

He was determined and did well in his studies, eventually getting into a reputable university, becoming the envy of many in the village.

That summer, he returned home, his father still drinking and going crazy, his mother still beaten and crying.
This time, he fought back.
He grabbed a chair and smashed it hard on his drunken father.
