On her seventh birthday, Aunt Helen drove into a snowstorm: "I'm going to buy you a birthday present." Little did she know, that glance would be their last. He blamed himself for his aunt's accident, and his mind once broke down.
One morning in his third year of junior high, he learned from the campus radio that his only friend, Mike, had committed suicide. He couldn't believe it and cried uncontrollably.
Life pushed him into a corner.
Burdened by these secrets, Charlie was extremely uneasy about starting high school and resorted to anonymously writing letters to strangers to express his inner turmoil. In his last letter, Charlie wrote, "If this truly is my last letter, please know that I'm alright."
The word "wallflower" encapsulates the adolescent melancholy of wanting something but not being able to have it, and melancholy just happens to be a catalyst for masterpieces.
This book is truly excellent because it directly addresses various sharp issues that American teenagers may encounter. What's even more commendable is that it doesn't write in a condescending tone, nor does it attempt to provide clear answers, but rather honestly reveals the inner confusion of a sixteen-year-old.

When I was fifteen or sixteen, I read the script for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" after filming the fourth "Harry Potter" movie. Before that, nothing had ever captivated me at first glance. During that time, I wasn't interested in anything until I read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." It was so beautifully and interestingly written. I was so deeply moved that I knew two things I had to do: first, make this movie; second, I wanted to play Sam.

Charlie grows from a "wallflower" who always observes silently to an "activist" who participates in life, and confronts his childhood trauma with the help of a psychologist. His story will continue to attract young readers.
