After reading it, there is a feeling of tears, for sunflower, for bronze, for the happiness and misfortune of this family.
Childhood is not only laughter, but also should not avoid the suffering of reality. It doesn't need artificial decoration. It is enough to touch people's hearts and let them think with a sincere heart.
Having said that, I feel that most of Cao Wenxuan's works are from reality, which just corresponds to their thoughts that are from reality and higher than reality. This book sets enough hardships for the protagonist, which come naturally and suddenly, keeping the reader's heart hanging all the time.
Sunflower lost its mother at an early age. Bronze was aphasia due to illness. Sunflower's father drowned in the river. Sunflower was sent to Bronze's home. Sunflower and Bronze's home were washed away by the flood. Crops suffered from locusts and began to famine. Grandma was sick and had no money to go to the hospital. Sunflower went to other places to pick ginkgo alone. Grandma died and Sunflower returned to the city. Throughout the whole story, bronze is always the protector of sunflower, a big brother who loves her, can give up everything for her, can work hard for her, and can suffer for her.
How do children feel when they read such stories? I'm not sure. Perhaps, they will cry for the unfortunate experience of the hero. They expect to have a big brother who loves them like a bronze statue. They will understand that there will be so many hardships in life, and they may become stronger and better. If one day, they encounter similar experiences, they will think of the sunflowers and bronzes in the story and their actions in the face of suffering.
What can make people cry more than their experience? Where you will go, others have experienced it once or several times, but it can't crush the harmony of the family and destroy the family's attitude towards life of love and music.
It's a pity that Sunflower is very lucky to come to such a home, a home that regards her as a family, and a home with parents, grandmother and brother. More importantly, although they are poor, they still love her deeply. Life is real, hardships are real, and family ties are real.
Cao Wenxuan's works have a strong local flavor, grounding gas, and the written language has an indescribable unique flavor. I am an author who studies writing. I used to think that children's books were mostly fairy tales of fantasy and adventure. After reading these works, I know that what is really close to life is the easiest to poke the pain point.
Children need to read happy works, including happiness and pain. The most important thing is to let them remember the emotional power after reading, so that their hearts can become tough and they can cope with sudden changes in their lives.
There are poverty, love, injury, sadness, sadness, affection and intention in the story ... there are problems we face or may face in the process of growing up. Read other people's stories and live your own life.
Sunflowers without mothers followed their father to the ultra-leftwing and came to this place full of reeds. There is water and reeds here, but it is more lonely.
She yearned for the barley field on the other side, wanted to have a look there, hesitated whether to board the escaping ship, but was teased by the yellow croaker. She drifted helplessly on the surface of the water, waiting for bronze-a "dumb" riding an ox with a warm heart. Bronze saved sunflower, and sunflower remembered bronze.
Bronze was originally a healthy child, but because of a fire in Damaidi village, he became "dumb". He is unfortunate, but he has his mother and father who love him, and his grandmother who always understands him.
Sunflower's father is an artist who is obsessed with sunflowers. For inspiration, for sunflower fields and for art, he unfortunately fell into the water and died. His departure completely orphaned Sunflower, and her fate was rewritten.
Sunflower suffered the greatest suffering since she could remember, and the only father who loved her left. She is like an object that anyone can choose, sitting on the stone mill of the old pagoda tree waiting for others to choose.
Bronze family loves this child from the bottom of their hearts, and the whole family loves this poor child. They want to adopt the child, but they are hesitant because of poverty at home. They are afraid of abusing the child and suffering with her. ...
Finally, Grandma awakened Bronze and changed Mom and Dad. At the last minute, their family understood their sunflower. Sunflower also accepts this kind person from the heart, especially the bronze brother who gave him warmth and help.
In order to let Sunflower's sister go to school, Bronze is willing to give up his dream. He didn't complain or hate. In order to improve the life at home and pick the best reed flowers, Amb Lee went to the market to sell shoes. In order to save money, he was reluctant to buy food, and even sold his shoes and walked barefoot in the ice and snow.
Bronze is afraid that someone will bully her sister, and she will take her to and from school rain or shine. He insisted that no one could do it.
The bronze sunflower family was hit by a storm, their house went up in smoke, and their family lost shelter. Suffering, once again arrival to this already poor family.
After the disaster, in order to save money, sunflowers never light up at home. The sensible sunflower carefully borrowed light from her classmates' home to study, but the result was miserable. In order not to make her family sad, she did her homework by moonlight in the dark. Bronze, see in your eyes and remember in your heart.
Many clever bronzes caught many fireflies for my sister and made a string of pumpkin lanterns. He didn't tell his family how much energy it took him, and he wouldn't tell his sister. He only has this sister in his heart.
The family scrimped and saved, borrowed a lot of money and went to the seaside to cut down a lot of golden thatch. Finally, the family lived in a spacious and fashionable house.
Bronze can help my sister see the circus performance clearly. After losing a stone and fighting with a group of children for nothing, he let the sunflower ride on his shoulder. The circus performance lasted for a long time and was very exciting. Sunflower even forgot the time, forgot to ride on his brother's shoulder, and even forgot that his brother couldn't see the performance at all. ...
Bronze was exhausted and almost fainted, but he never called his sister down, and her sister sat on her shoulder all the time.
Sunflower is a versatile child. Sunflower is a beautiful child, but Sunflower has no jewelry or silver necklace, and her family can't produce such precious things. However, there is bronze, and there is a brother who can't talk but has many ideas. The bronze is strung with ice beads, which makes the performance of sunflower more brilliant.
Grasshoppers all over the sky ate up the seedlings, and the wheat field fell into famine. In order to make a living, bronze sunflower went to dig reed roots and catch small fish together ... bronze lost track of time when catching wild ducks for the first time in order to improve the food at home, and lost her sister in the storm. He couldn't shout, so he had to run among the reeds again and again. His foot was broken, and he didn't care. He was so tired that he fainted, and then he got up and kept looking. He is afraid of losing his sister, the fear and panic of sunflower.
Finally, after the sunflower was hungry, it forced itself to go to the reed pond to catch wild ducks.
Grandma is ill. For this family, for the bronze sunflower, she can put on a new cotton winter coat. There is no money to see grandma at home. In order to save money for the family, Sunflower deliberately dropped out of school. Only then did she realize how much her family loved her. They would rather not eat or drink, save money and let her go to school.
Sunflowers also love this family deeply. In order to see her grandmother, she boarded a ship in another country to pick up ginkgo and earn money to see her. Grandma thought of this granddaughter and waited until the sunflower came back before she closed her eyes with relief.
The departure of sunflowers always reminds bronze. He waited at the dock all night with a purple lantern, waiting for his sister's return.
Sunflowers are still accepted to live in the city, and the disappointment of family members is drowned by the future of sunflowers. They love this child, want her to live a well-fed life, want her to receive a better education and make her happy.
Bronze knew in his heart that his sister's departure was right, but stubbornly climbed up the tall haystack like a paper lantern waiting in the dark. Regardless of the wind and sun, regardless of the heat and cold, he sat on the top of the haystack and watched the direction in which his sister disappeared. He waited there without eating or drinking, expecting the sudden appearance of sunflowers.
At the end of the story, Bronze shouted out his own voice and called out the name he had thought about for thousands of times-sunflower.
Postscript: Bronze is accompanied by the growth of sunflower, and sunflower also brings the power of bronze family. She made bronze no longer lonely, and made bronze have people to communicate with.
