This work is the first children's literary feature by writer Eiko**, which is a story about companionship and growth, telling the story of Zile and her parents, as well as the country dog Xiaohu and the stray cat Messi, who are happy, warm and full of twists and turns. There is not only a warm time of companionship, but also the difficulty of helpless choice, and the details show the light of human nature, the harmony and beauty of humans and animals.
I love critters!
In a class activity in Year 3, the teacher asked the students to express their dreams. Some want to be scientists, some want to be engineers, and some want to be painters ......
At that time, Eiko said very seriously, "I want to be a breeder when I grow up." ”
The teacher asked, "Why do you want to be a breeder?" ”
Because I love critters! ”
When she was a child, Yingzi raised small fish in a blue coarse porcelain jar, pulled fresh grass, caught shrimp for Xiaomei (a little duck) to eat, and raised silkworm babies, grasshoppers, tadpoles, rabbits, ......She is also memorable by a dog named Rhubarb and a cat named Huahua, who are also the prototypes of the dogs Xiaohu and Messi in the book.
Eiko said that at that time, material life was very scarce, and in her memory, she never had any toys at that time, but because of these small animals, her childhood life was colorful and full of fun.
Good children's writers are almost born
Not all writers who are accustomed to writing literary works are suitable for entering children's literature, Yin Jianling wrote the essayist Mr. Zhao Lihong's first children's novel** "Childhood River" review, once put forward such a point of view: excellent children's literature writers are almost born, they are people who can easily find the mysterious entrance, they do not need to deliberately bend down, they themselves are the "symbiosis" of children, or, never give up "the child in their hearts", at the same time, they also have a magic wand in their hands that can turn stones into gold - This can be understood as the writer's accumulation, cultivation, depth of philosophical thinking, and so on.
Many adult writers have long since distanced themselves from the children who have been away for a long time, and they write about children in their works, but those works are only literature presented from the perspective of children, not real children's literature. Of course, the original Eiko had a similar problem.
Enter the heart and world of children
When I first started writing, the idea was not yet mature, and Eiko wrote about 20,000 words in the third person and stalled. Her inability to bring their stories to life left her confused for a while.
But she also quickly discovered the problem, one night, Eiko was walking downstairs, carefully observing the blooming roses, and suddenly found that they were completely different from when she looked down from the balcony, the state and appearance, almost a flash of inspiration, she found the problem: I leaned over and tried to create from the perspective of a child, this posture is incorrect, I need to really squat down, let myself squat lower, lower, in order to really enter the child's heart and world.
She has a child in her heart who has been sleeping shallowly, she awakens the "child" that is quietly dormant in the depths of her heart, and in writing she leads "her" to come out of the depths of her heart and regain her vitality, running, talking, questioning, thinking like she did when she was a child - that child is so likable, she has a gentle heart, a bright desire, a crystal clear intelligence, and she lives in symbiosis with Eiko as an adult.
"Unusual Summer" has the unique advantage of being close to children, may this story brighten up your childhood and let you grow up in the warmth of sincerity.
