A paper documentary filming close-up of the cocoon-dweller family
In recent years, social phenomena such as “Cocooning dwellers” and “Neet” have become increasingly discussed. This work is a first-hand observation and record of the relevant situation.
The book not only probes deeply into the inner psychology of people who are regarded as "abnormal", but also dissects the plight of their family members.
Through self-study and advice from psychology professionals, the author continues to have a dialogue with his family, trying to get closer, feel each other, understand each other, and heal herself.
How did everyone get to this point? Is that really Di’s choice? Or, did he have too few options in front of him?
And is it possible that I would also be the "abnormal" person? Is it possible that everything will be "okay"?
