Tuition fee is no longer an urgent issue involving only the upper or lower class (the former is not too concerned about it, whereas the latter struggles even just staying afloat). The issue has become an enormous burden to the collapsing middle-class that makes up 70% of the population, and it is becoming a major social debate is not due to sensationalism, but rather as an inevitable by-product of capitalism.

Interlaced with some 2-diemensional animations to elaborate the connection between education and tax revenue, "Create Something" presented the struggle underwent by its characters without lavish scenes or a rhetoric script. Simple and quiet in its strength, this is a humble revolution of life not a documentary produced to haggle over tuition fees. Just like the little stage seen in the animation, the characters entered with their personal beliefs at the lift of the curtain. As the curtain was lowered, it was back to the hustle and bustle of life for the characters until their next appearance. These characters showed us the fate that we shared: our future lies in our hands.
