Endless End: Guarding the Path of Minors' Growth

2025-07-02   

In recent years, reality themed TV dramas have continuously expanded the depth of social observation and the tension of artistic expression, especially the stories laid out around family, education, law, and social governance, which mostly adhere to the realistic creative concept and focus on the unity of problem awareness and humanistic care. The recently aired TV drama 'Endless End' has a certain representativeness. The drama takes juvenile delinquency as the main narrative line, draws on real cases, faces social pain points and conducts rational exploration. Through rigorous narrative logic and warm character portrayal, it constructs a narrative space that integrates legal reasoning and emotional tension, triggering deep thinking among the audience. The theme selection of 'Endless End' highlights the crucial issue awareness in realism creation. The issue of juvenile delinquency involves complex content such as moral concepts and judicial systems, naturally possessing social value and emotional tension. The creator adopts a dual narrative perspective to unfold the story: macroscopically, the work depicts the transition from an acquaintance society to a circle society, and the social background of the collision between traditional concepts and modern law, placing the story in the coordinate system of the transitional period; On a micro level, the drama examines the difficulties faced by families of origin and delves deeper into issues such as self-identity crises among underage individuals. This dual track narrative approach of macro and micro constructs a three-dimensional social cognitive framework, making the issue of juvenile delinquency go beyond simple individual cases and become a prism for observing society. Creators do not stop at presenting phenomena of problems, but explore complex legal issues through perceptible dramatic conflicts. For example, the underage Lu Sheng and his younger brother were beaten by their father Lu Guangfu, who had been drinking for a long time, and "rented" to a criminal gang to commit theft, leaving a serious psychological shadow. The protagonist proposes to terminate the guardianship of Lu Guangfu through judicial proceedings in order to protect their two children. High school student Cui Jiayi showed signs of sexual assault after being examined by a doctor, but her sister refused to report it for fear of losing face. At this time, the investigators initiated a mandatory reporting system. Through these plots, the law is no longer a cold procedure, but a warm force that saves lives one by one. In depth, the value of the drama lies in its construction of a multidimensional social dialogue space. Film and television works are not only carriers of social values, but also important media for promoting communication and dialogue among different groups. As a carrier of values dissemination, 'Endless End' deepens the public's understanding of the judicial principle of 'education as the main approach and punishment as the auxiliary measure in handling juvenile criminal cases'; As a medium for regulating social emotions, it constructs a strong emotional resonance field through delicate depictions of the inner changes of minors and authentic depictions of the emotional investment of judicial workers. The plot designs that are heart wrenching but ultimately lead to problem-solving and improvement provide the audience with an outlet for emotional release, serving as a social and psychological "safety valve". Revealing the causes and social harm of juvenile delinquency from a critical perspective can also spark heated public discussion and play a dynamic regulatory role in the social value system. The plot of 'Endless End' is not only thought-provoking, but its title is also full of profound symbolism and artistic ingenuity. Literally speaking, 'endless end' seems to be a contradictory statement, as' endless' implies no boundaries or endpoints, while 'end' represents boundaries or endings. This contradictory expression may be exactly what the drama wants to convey to the audience. On the one hand, the path of protecting minors and preventing juvenile delinquency has no end; On the other hand, prosecutors Lin Zhitao and Bai Enyu are constantly vigilant, working overtime to handle cases, and investing their limited energy into endless work, seeking the "end" of justice in every case. I believe that with their efforts, every child struggling and lost in the dark night can find their own value and direction under the sunshine of the rule of law. In summary, 'Endless End' presents a calm discussion about the rule of law, ethics, and human nature with delicate and restrained strokes, expanding the boundaries and spiritual depth of realistic drama. The good viewing effect of this drama indicates that the creation of realistic themes facing problems is not to exaggerate anxiety, but to seek answers; Displaying contradictions is not to create opposition, but to promote understanding. And this is precisely the most precious ideological character of realistic literary and artistic creation in the new era. (New Society)
