If we were hurt by others, family or society in childhood, then we will unconsciously hurt others, relatives or society in the same way in the future, thus hurting ourselves and others' lives. So how can we save our childhood? Look at Teacher Cao Wenxuan's Grass House. This book can help you learn how to grow up in the face of setbacks, heal your childhood wounds, and prevent your own experiences from happening to your children again.
Mr. Cao Wenxuan, the author of Straw House, was born in 1954. He has devoted himself to children's literature creation for many years, and has successively created the novels "Goats Don't Eat Paradise Grass" (19 1 year), "Straw House" (1997) and "Root Bird" (65437).
In The Grass House, there are nine chapters in this book, mainly based on the small world of Yau Ma Tei, which tells the story between the protagonists such as Sang Sang, Tu He, Paper Moon, Sancho, Jiang Yilun, Bai Que, Du Xiaokang and Grandma Qin. This series of stories is directly or indirectly displayed in the world of young mulberry: the pure love between boys and girls; Sadness and optimism when unfortunate teenagers struggle with setbacks; The persistence and persistence of disabled boys in dignity; The old man's personality stood out at the last moment.
This series of stories is full of emotional entanglements and life experiences. After reading the book "Grass House", I found that the story between them is a story about suffering and growth, and the core of the story is an inner spiritual growth.
The first hero to appear was the bald crane. His story explores the growing inferiority and self-esteem. The bald crane, whose real name is Lu He, is born with a small bald head. In the third grade, he suddenly began to worry about baldness and even didn't want to go to school. He was afraid that his classmates would find that his head was covered with ginger and use it as an excuse to go to the toilet. This is the child's subtle psychological growth. The stubbornness and inferiority of the bald crane made him isolated by everyone. For a child with physical defects, this isolation is an injury to others' self-esteem. Fortunately, he played the role of a bald platoon leader, which made Yau Ma Tei Primary School a great success in another performance. The bald crane was accepted by the children again, and he cried with the children by the stream. But in our real life, how many people can't be recognized by others, collectives and families because of their inferiority complex?
The second owner is Du Xiaokang. Du Xiaokang's story discusses a person's tenacity and responsibility in setbacks. Du Xiaokang is tall, clean, well-off and has a bicycle that other children envy. But his father lost his business capital, and Du Xiaokang not only lost his wealth, but also lost the opportunity to study. Raising ducks, the ducks ate up the fry in the fish pond next door and had to pay the ducks to others. Facing the difficulties of life and family, Du Xiaokang set up a stall at the school gate to make a living. His growth, as Mencius said, "Heaven will take great responsibility for Sri Lankan people, so he must first suffer his mind, work his bones and muscles, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and mess with his actions, so he can't bear it." In the face of change, Du Xiaokang grew up with inner persistence and responsibility.
The third hero is Sang Sang. He has a bad side: selling iron, selling pigeons, cutting mosquito nets, fishing for shrimp, and even hanging a hat of a crane on the flagpole of the school. He is also kind-hearted and loyal, so that the paper moon will no longer be bullied by boys in Bancang Primary School. Du Xiaokang, a good friend, is in a desperate situation. He sold his favorite pigeon to him as capital. Grandma Qin, the former landlord, was disgusting, but Sang Sang was willing to care about her. When his good friend Sima suffered family changes, he stayed with him all the time. In order to help her sister realize her wish, Sang Sang took her sister to see the city wall. She is too tired to get up on the ground. Why does this seemingly contradictory personality appear in Sang Sang? The work also gives the answer. Successful family education. His father, Sancho, is the headmaster of Yau Ma Tei Primary School. He is very strict with Sang Sang. In the middle of the night, he was asked to apologize to the crane. Sang Sang's mother is also very gentle and kind. She let Paper Moon live in their house. As the saying goes, "at the beginning of life, nature is good." The kindness of Sang Sang is not only innate, but also related to his parents' successful family education.
What is growth? I think growth is a kind of care and goodwill for others and society, just as Rousseau said, "Growth means loving everyone". After growing up, the bald crane was accepted by the children again, Du Xiaokang won everyone's respect, and Sang Sang recovered his health under the careful care of his parents.
The story of "Straw House" starts from the first grade of Sang Sang and ends with the graduation of 1962 primary school. The background of the novel was written in the 1960s, which was the poorest period in China. However, the author's work is not full of desolation, but tells a quiet but not peaceful story of a water town primary school.
In the book "The Straw House", Mr. Cao Wenxuan chose the children's perspective and tried to get the protagonist into the scene in chapters. These two ways realize the poetic writing of pure beauty stories in a special background, which is also the difference between his children's literature works and other writers. Therefore, in Mr. Cao Wenxuan's works, Sang Sang, Touhe, Paper Moon and Du Xiaokang all became real. Even if the background of the story is a special period, the works reflect the efforts of the poor and the pursuit of human kindness, rather than helplessness and pain. It is precisely because the author integrates life, life and philosophy, thus constructing a gorgeous chapter "Grass House".
Haruki Murakami once said, "When you have weathered the storm, you are no longer the same person." Each of us is experiencing the storm of life. When we experience wind and rain, it is the process of turning cocoons into butterflies.
No matter how much suffering life has given you, I hope everyone can achieve "suffering and success" in their inner growth, find their own value like a bald crane, learn to persist like a well-off Du Like, learn to care for others like a mulberry, and live up to their childhood.
