Every summer vacation was the peak season for all kinds of industries, because students' desire to spend money began to blossom.
Students would take temporary jobs during this period, then spend all their money. That was one of the Federation's distinctive features.
Most students, especially high school students, would look for short-term temporary work during the holidays. Their abilities were actually no worse than those of some ordinary employees, but their wages were lower.
To capitalists, as long as costs could be saved, even if it was only a single dollar, it was still a victory! Thus, large numbers of high school students earned sums of money that were not actually very large through odd jobs. They would not save that money for any kind of life planning.
Most of it was spent buying things they liked or going on dates with girls.
The most important area of spending was going to the movies! Every year, the films released during the summer season fought an exceptionally brutal battle, with one movie after another packed together for release. Sometimes, five or six films might premiere at the same time! Summer vacation—the moment when youth and hormones took flight together!
Lin Qi was also sitting in a movie theater watching Dad and Me. The film had been controversial from the moment it was commissioned and began filming, because it was a family-ethics drama.
Its content involved many... aspects concerning family taboos.
The Federation's social environment was very open and tolerant, but when it came to such sensitive issues, it was still somewhat... overly explicit.
And it was adapted from a True Story.
When actors were being recruited, many male actors who fit the script's requirements refused the roles. They feared appearing in such a film might bring them lifelong, indelible negative consequences.
