It uses a violent obstreperous passion to indicate the politics of adolescence which is full of flaming rebellion and rejective attitude and it is an aesthetic appreciation and liberation of a violent revolution. It is similar as one of the screen-shot of the endless political movements in the past 100 years. A group of young people are excited throwing bundled books into blaze. In the carnival atmosphere, there is no political correctness but only beauty of pulling out and ashes of illusion.
