Mijika's surname is not Mi, but a pseudonym. Among our fairy tale elders, except Sun Youjun, Bao Lei, He Yi, Hong Taoxun and Jin Jindu used pseudonyms. At that time, everyone thought that writers should smoke and use pen names. The fairy tales of our generation have changed these traditions. Only Bo Bing uses a pseudonym and smokes. But his pen name only removed his surname, which is quite incomplete. But now the pseudonyms in fairy tales are popular again: Mijika, filariasis and two-color scenery. By the way, this has something to do with the internet. One is to write online under a pseudonym, and when a book is published, it becomes a pseudonym. I proved this guess to Mickey herself. She really registered a common name because the online forum needed to register an id, so she randomly made up a remote name. "I am a one-track-minded person, so many accidents and accidents that have happened to me continue, including' Mijika'." My little reader Ci Qi told me that she found a clothing store named "Mijika" on a street in Wenzhou, and the paintings on the billboard were similar to those painted by Kaka. Tzu Chi went to Mijika's blog to leave a message and asked her if she had opened a shop. Kaka denied it. So this is a "pirated shop". Mijika was in Yantai, but found piracy in Wenzhou. Her fame spread like wildfire. Actually, it's nothing Mijika's Mimi Bear Happy Cognition Series has been authorized to go to Vietnam, and foreigners will know that there is Mijika in China.
I know that Megika was two years ago. In late April 2006, Bing Bo helped me to open a blog on Sina. On Labor Day, I set up a "Newcomer Works Exhibition Area" on my blog, hoping that editors would fly in like bees. The first newcomer to report for duty was Mijika, who introduced her blog: "It's all stories! All! " I replied, "I'll go and have a look, but I'd better post it here for everyone to see." "Well, kaka is going to find the manuscript. Can you post a lot? " In a short time, Mijika bombed the exhibition area with a dozen fairy tales. The first article is called "Pillows that can't tell stories". It is said that all pillows in children's dreams can tell stories, but there is a pillow that makes the little master have no dreams every night because he can't tell stories. It's very uncomfortable. On one occasion, this pillow borrowed from the young master's method of reciting the text and achieved miraculous results in a wrong way. Then the pillow helped the young master recite foreign words in the dream. Finally, the young master was proud of the examination room and everyone was happy. After reading this story, I feel a little bad. The children have been overwhelmed by their lessons and have to review in their dreams. Isn't that right? Mijika's fairy tales are still immature, but their advantages are obvious. One is the ability to make up stories, and the other is the feeling of children's literature. Some young writers express themselves in fairy tales, and they write well, but they are adults (or seemingly children) from conception to language. I think Zong Pu's fairy tales belong to this category, which is not bad, but not suitable for children. Mijika also expresses herself, but what is unique is that her self is very close to the child's self. After I opened up the exhibition area of newcomers' works, my friends in the Literary Newspaper asked me to run a column there for one month, which was devoted to promoting the blogs of newcomers in children's literature. This column is scheduled to be published on June 15, and the first issue must be substantial. I found some excellent works in the exhibition area, but I still look forward to the works that can make people shine and move. At the deadline of preparing the column, I came to Mijika's blog. I saw "plates, chopsticks and bowls" at a glance, and cheered from the heart after reading it. It is said that three aliens came to the earth. In order to judge whether there is anything delicious on the earth and whether it is worth possessing, they become plates, chopsticks and bowls that can be close to food. A little boy is comforting the sad little girl. He put some stones on the plate, saying that the green one is shredded pork and the red one is strawberry ... He filled the bowl with sand like porridge. Three aliens ate stones and sand and gave up the earth painfully. There is the shadow of China's folk wisdom story, but both the positive and negative characters have wonderful childlike interest and gamification. It's amazing that Mijika's fairy tales have matured so quickly. Plates, chopsticks and bowls appeared in my first column in Wenyi Bao, and I also recommended them on my blog. Editors really swarmed like bees ... Soon this fairy tale won the 22nd Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award.
Every issue of my column introduces a new person and his blog, and then there will be filariasis, Lu Lina, Lu Ying and so on. There is one in every issue.
-"About Bloggers", Mijika simply filled in "Like to listen to stories and like to tell stories". Later, she told me that she was influenced by her grandmother, who likes telling stories, so that Mijika still thinks that grandmothers in the world are the same and are the best storytellers. On summer nights, grandma will put mosquito nets in the yard and talk in the tent. For Kaka, it is acceptable whether grandma's story is traditional or original. "But I will care about one thing, that is, grandma must face me when telling stories. Yes, she must. If I lie on her left, she has to turn her face to the left. " Grandma can not only tell the story of the stars, but also judge the time according to them. Grandma can always look at the stars and tell the time quite accurately. In addition, Grandma's garden also cultivated Mickey's interest in plants. Mijika feels that her observation of subtle things, imaginative imagination and delicate emotions all come from her grandmother's talent. Another person who had a great influence on Mijika was his father. When Mijika saw her father as a child, she often did two things: reading books and writing calligraphy, but Mijika was depressed because of these two things. Fortunately, dad never forced his daughter to do this, but he would tell his daughter the books he read during the time when his mother cleared the table after dinner. At first, Mickey listened to one build and one build. Later, he found it very interesting and pestered his father to tell it every day. Dad reads all kinds of books, so Mickey listens to all kinds of books, including historical stories, biographies of celebrities, poems, classics and so on. Since primary school, every time my father took Mijika out to play, there was an additional condition, that is, he had to keep a diary when he came home. Although Mijika's diary is very jerry-built, his father's comments are often "progress", "very good" and "very good". It may be these encouraging words that make Mickey find writing interesting. So from the time when there was a "composition class" in the course, Mijika began to get used to the teacher reading her composition as a model essay.
Because of her love for children, Mijika was later admitted to the kindergarten school and became a kindergarten teacher as she wished. She must tell stories to the children. At first, she would tell her children stories in the book, and when she got impatient, she began to make up stories. Sometimes they are made up in advance, sometimes they improvise when they see something, and occasionally they are attracted by these messy stories. After working in kindergarten for nearly four years, Mijika suddenly resigned. Not because of anything unpleasant, on the contrary, she was just rated as an "excellent kindergarten teacher". The reason for her resignation is incredible to others-she has brought a group of children from small classes to large classes, and she has a very good relationship with them. Now that they are going to primary school, Mijika is very reluctant and sad. This is part of the reason. "On the other hand, I always feel that I should try to do something else. Maybe this is a common problem of the post-80 s, just to let yourself experience more things. I want to do anything I haven't done. I don't know what to do after resigning, but I am inexplicably confident. Fortunately, my parents didn't react very strongly to this matter, or I resigned happily before they could react to what was going on. "After she resigned, she wanted to give herself a holiday, but she wrote a few fairy tales for fun, and after posting them in the forum, it was out of control. She remembers that the first story she wrote was that the sun caught a cold. It was always rainy in those days, and she wrote this story for the concern of the sun. A few days after this report was published, I received an email from the editor of Xiaoxi asking if I could publish it in their magazine. Mijika vaguely replied with two words: "All right." As a result, The Sun Caught a Cold was published in the May issue of Little Stream. It was May 2006, and the exhibition area of my new works had just opened.
I thought it should be stressful for a novice to quit his job and write fairy tales at home. I didn't expect Mickey's situation to be completely unexpected. She writes fairy tales as fluently as she does. You can write one or two fairy tales every day, which can be posted online and asked by editors. Then she began to receive the manuscript, and even got the advance payment of the manuscript fee soon. But the encouragement from all sides made her serious and persistent about this job, unlike the attitude of just playing at the beginning.
I admire not only Mijika's writing talent, but also her persistence in the quality of children's literature. I know some young people are cooperating with booksellers to "make books" and even "store books" one by one. But please visit this girl's blog, and you will always smile, because you are reading real, pure and first-class children's literature. I opened it and took out two of her masterpieces. There is an article called "The light rain in my eyes is rushing". It is not creative to compare tears to rain, but she does write very lovely. On the first day of kindergarten, Doudou shed tears. Children asked him why he was crying. He said I didn't cry, but it was raining in my eyes. Some children let him water the flowers, some let him bathe the toy frog, and some let him beat the drums with tears in his eyes. Finally, everyone asked: Why doesn't it rain? Doug said: It's sunny! There is also a poem called "Don't be afraid", which is full of innocence, warmth, imagination and wit. The two voices talked repeatedly, and one always said (19 times), "I'm afraid, and it was dark in my dream." The other replied with various comforts: "Don't be afraid, I will light the lantern and hang it in your dream, no matter how big the wind is.": "I will pull the wooden horse on the playground into your dream and ride it as long as you want"; "I will move a lot of story books into your dreams, all written in words you know"; "I will introduce the warmest sunshine at noon into your dream, and you can sleep under your feet with it"; "I will drive the clouds into your dreams and let you wrestle without pain in the soft world"; "I will bring the biggest ice cream to your dream, don't worry, it doesn't melt at all"; "I put TV in your dream, and every station broadcasts cartoons." Finally, the frightened voice said, "I'm still afraid, and it's dark in my dream." The comforting voice said, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you in my dream."
Mijika's blog contains not only her works, but also her wonderful life outside of writing. She told me: "I didn't fully adapt to full-time writing at first, and I didn't know how to arrange my time, so I was a little overwhelmed by the manuscript for a while." It has been completely adjusted now. I will arrange my writing within three hours every day, so that I won't feel tired, and I can control my rest time freely without organizing discipline. This arrangement allows me to read more books, doodle more, watch more cartoons, go shopping more, and make me love writing more. "She seems to mean-if you write too tired, you will get tired of writing. I can't help but sigh: it is also a full-time writing, and the post-50 s is not as handsome as the post-80 s. I wrote it late all day, using only the landline instead of the mobile phone. Once a primary school student asked me in a reporter's tone, "Do you combine work with pleasure?" I was surprised and replied, "That's right! "I really feel that writing every day brings me enough happiness. I have long been used to playing word games. Then, compared with the wealth of young friends, will I feel sorry for myself? Not exactly. Everyone has his own way of life. I will be happy for young people. Look at Mijika's blog. In addition to exhibiting her newly bought good books and painting the cover of her fairy tales, there will be some strange gadgets. She spent a lot of time sewing a lovely little snail. On one occasion, she showed everyone a pot of walnuts, saying that it was originally eaten while smashing, and later it became smashed for smashing. " It is simply infatuated with the creaking sound of walnuts when they are broken. "She will even buy a short hair headdress to take photos for netizens in Doby, so that everyone will feel sorry for her long hair that was killed by mistake. After the heavy snow, she took a group of poetic snow scenes. Dead branches in a clump of snow, the poem says, "I don't even remember what they look like in spring." I don't know if they remember themselves. A line of footprints in the snow, the poem says: "whose footprints have been forgotten to take home." "She said she went to church on Sunday and thought the woman who led the choir looked good in white. She said that she found a beautiful cold drink shop and ordered the biggest plate of ice cream until she couldn't eat any more. She said her eyes were uncomfortable, and her mother asked her to eat a carrot every day. She refused: "The rabbit loves carrots. Look what it has eaten in its eyes! "She said that a friend called in the middle of the night to tell the story he dreamed, but when he woke up in the morning, he had no memory. Just wanted to call my friend, his phone rang again and asked her if she remembered the story he had forgotten, so the story became a mystery forever. Mijika made many friends through the Internet. In addition to children's literature, she also includes tourism, animation, handicrafts, antiques, astrology, puppet shows, art appreciation and so on. So she set up a group called "Half a Biscuit". Why is it called this name? She said she might be hungry. Everyone will express themselves unreservedly in the group, and will also get unreserved care and enjoy resources, inspiration and relaxation. Mijika said: "Maybe half a biscuit will be presented in other forms in the future, but we will always be a group of children who love children's literature. "
During more than two years of dabbling in children's literature, Mickey has published more than 300 fairy tales in various newspapers and periodicals, including A Little Witch, I am an Evil Witch, Hydrangea Field, and Mimi Bear's Happy Cognition Series. There are also several sets of picture books with pictures and texts, which will be published soon. I am writing two sets of campus novels. There will be a column called "Dream Mickey Card" next year. We are waiting for Mijika to make more red and green things on her plate.
