Feng and Lan are teachers and children's writers respectively. Although she looks quiet on the outside, there are a group of children living in a corner of her heart. She is good at writing in a child's voice. What attracted me most was her Tong Mo.
Tong Mo is a novel about a boy's unforgettable summer vacation experience. After the death of his mother, the life of the hero Liang and his son suddenly became gloomy. Dad, who has always loved calligraphy, seems unable to accept the blow of his mother's death. He always stays in the past and always regards things like Blackstone as the most precious treasure. Tong Mo couldn't understand his father's behavior and became a little rebellious. When the school asked to learn Chinese calligraphy, Tong Mo protested and quarreled with his father from time to time. Finally, after a father-son quarrel, Tong Mo went to his grandparents' house. Grandparents' home is in an alley, and Tong Mo found an old house in the deepest part of the alley. This old house seems to have a history of hundreds of years. He solved the secret of his father's "black stone", that is, "Mo Ding", saw the birth process of a good ink and found the taste of his mother in his memory. After discovering the old house and the smell of his mother, he became addicted to ink and stopped resisting it. He even stole my father's small wooden box, approached Mr. Qin, who practiced calligraphy every day, and went to calligraphy class with her ... Finally, he put his mother's relic, Mo Ding engraved with the word "Ding Feng" by Su Dongpo, into his father's previous collection box, and found that the two were originally a pair of matching. In the face of this gift from their mother to their father and son, both of them lamented "perfection".
This is a novel that combines family ties with China's traditional literature and ink. From this novel, we can feel the beauty of ink making and pen and ink culture, and feel the charm of China traditional culture. We should learn from Tong Mo's love for "ink" and his persistent spirit of studying "ink" to make ourselves more confident.
