Lovable Alpha Bitch | |
| Youth (2017) / int_3287773c | comment |
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Shuwen is the dorm captain and the daughter of a high official, and flaunts her family status. She is hard on Xiaoping at times, and one of the first people to make fun of her body odor. However, she doesn't go as far as some of the others do with their bullying behavior, and is shown to have sympathetic qualities. She points out to Dingding when she's being unfair to Liu Feng, and years later, sticks up for Liu Feng when she sees him being shoved around. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Youth (2017) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: After some guys see Liu Feng hugging Dingding and accuse her of corrupting him, she blames Liu Feng and runs away to her dorm, crying about him being a creep. Shuwen points out that she's been with other guys and didn't call them scamps, but she insists that it's different, holding Liu Feng to another standard because of his model citizen reputation as a "living Lei Feng". | |

Pictorial Letter Substitution: In the logo for the Chinese title, 芳�, the bottom part of the character � is the silhouette of a dancer balanced on the toes of one foot, with one arm stretched out in front of her (making up the left-pointing part) and her other arm and leg pointing backwards (making up the right-pointing part). The movie is about a performing arts troupe, which includes dancers. | |
