On Xiaoying's Character from The Past in the South of the City

Eiko, the hero, is a kind, smart and bold five or six-year-old girl. Living in Beijing Hutong, she observes the world with childlike eyes and pays attention to all kinds of people around her. Finally, at the primary school graduation ceremony, her father died of illness, and Eiko realized that she had grown up.

I would like to take out my birthday present-a diamond watch and a gold bracelet, and give it to Niu and Xiuzhen who are looking for their uncle. This also shows that she knows friendship and love and has a pure and kind heart. This is exactly what we should learn.

Extended data

"Old Things in the South of the City" was written by Lin in the background of his life from the age of 7 to 13. During the Japanese imperialist occupation of Taiwan Province, the Lins refused to live under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders and moved to Beijing where Xiaoying grew up. Seeing the camel team coming in winter and hearing the slow and sweet bell, childhood returned to the author's mind.

Summer passed, autumn passed, winter came again, camel team came again, but childhood never came back. Because the author misses the scenery and people when he lived in the south of Beijing as a child, he wrote it down, so that the actual childhood passed and the childhood of the soul will last forever. This is the original intention of Lin in writing this novel.
