Judy grew up in an orphanage. As a young girl, she has to undertake a lot of heavy work and can't enjoy the family fun that ordinary girls have. One day, her fate was changed in a legendary way. A director who claimed to be John Smith sent her to college because of her excellent composition, and since then she has started a completely different life. She affectionately called the director "Daddy Long Legs". In college, she happily absorbed all the experience and knowledge she had never had before. Everything is so novel to her. She is afraid that she is not good, and she is sorry for the cultivation of "daddy long legs". She kept writing to Daddy Long Legs, but she never received his reply. To her, he hardly exists.

During her college life, she met Master Kubis by chance. His unique insights and extensive knowledge attracted her, but when she graduated, she fell in love with him and refused his proposal. Just then, "Daddy Long Legs", who had never met or even replied, invited her to meet in new york. Judy was surprised that "daddy long legs" was Debbie. They started a romantic love. No, exactly, they continued their romantic love. The main content of the whole book is 84 letters written by Judy to "Daddy Long Legs". At first, these letters seemed to be one of Judy's obligations-Director Smith sponsored Judy to go to college and asked her to write to him to report her progress in school. Judy didn't take writing these letters as an obligation from the beginning, but thanked Daddy Long Legs from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, because Judy is an orphan and doesn't have any relatives, she takes Daddy Long Legs as her only relative and communication partner and confides in him. After reading these letters, you will find that Judy is really a lovely girl, and you can feel that she is maturing, not only in knowledge but also in mind. The most unforgettable thing is that Judy is so simple and pure that she won't hide anything from daddy long legs, whether it's good news or bad news, her strengths or weaknesses. The realization of every small wish and the acquisition of some knowledge will bring her great happiness. I was deeply attracted by her seemingly "childish" words, perhaps because I also longed for this simple, direct and interesting life.

In the fifth letter, she told Daddy Long Legs that she had given herself a name, Judy (her original name was Zhu Abbott, which was named by Rebbert, the director of the orphanage). I prefer the name itself. This is the first time she has done it for herself. This feeling of independence must be very attractive. In the thirty-eighth letter, Judy had a passage: "I think everyone, no matter how much trouble they have when they grow up, should have a happy childhood." Won't you think of your childhood when you see this? Won't you feel sorry for your bad mood caused by various external pressures? In the forty-fourth letter, she said, "I want to see the tropics." I want to see the whole world. One day I will go-I will, really, uncle, when I become a great writer, artist, actor or playwright-I can be any great person. " I have a strong desire to wander. As soon as I saw the map, I wanted to put on my hat and umbrella and set off at once. "I think when you see this, your heart will light up, especially if you have read and liked San Mao. There will be a large open place in your heart, and you will be so happy and free and easy. Wandering, wandering, what a wonderful life. Think about the Sahara described by San Mao. Judy is also such a mysterious woman. How happy they will be! In the fifty-seventh letter, Judy wrote: "This is not the happiest thing! I can find great happiness from many trivial things-I have found the true meaning of happiness, uncle, that is, to live in the present. Don't always live in regret for the past, and don't always look forward to the future, but try to get more from the present. It's like plowing, you can plow deeply or deeply. From now on, I will live seriously and enjoy every second. When I enjoy it, I will feel that it is a kind of enjoyment. Most people are not living, but running. They want to achieve some distant goals. On the road, they were panting and had difficulty breathing, and lost the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road and the quiet countryside. When they are old, they realize that their energy is not enough, and it is not important to achieve their goals. As for me, I decided to sit down on the road and accumulate all the little happiness, even if I could never be a great writer. "I won't say anything more. Please read this article by yourself. In the seventy-fifth letter, "Please convey my love-sincere love to Greer's home (this is Judy's former orphanage). "Looking back on the vague years of four years, I am full of tenderness for this family. When I first went to college, I was full of resentment because I was deprived of a normal childhood that other girls had. But now, I have no such feeling at all. I think this is an extraordinary experience. It gives me a favorable perspective. I can grow up plump, stand by and observe life and have a special view of the world. People who grew up in a rich environment will not have this view. " Friends, do you regret being born in a poor area? Are you annoyed that you didn't go to a better university? Are you sad that you are inferior to others in many ways? Are you complaining that the person you live with is not what you want? Then, after reading these words carefully, you won't be unhappy again. In the seventy-ninth letter, "Uncle, dear, I am very happy. The surrounding scenery is pleasant, there are many things to eat, a comfortable four-poster bed, a lot of sheets and a pint of ink-what else do people want in this world? "
