lovely
-Bing Xin
Except for the universe,
The loveliest is the only child.
Don't even think about talking to him,
There is no need to be reserved.
Looking up and joking,
Lower your head to get water.
You can think deeply,
A little embarrassment is a good thing;
Donkey back mountain, under the city gate,
When I look back,
Always lively,
Smiling.
Bing Xin is one of the glorious pioneers of modern children's literature in China. Since the May 4th Movement, she has been tirelessly writing essays, novels and poems for children. She decided: "Apart from the universe, only children are the cutest." She appealed, "Thousands of angels/should get up and sing praises to the children. /child! /He has a great soul in his small body. " ("Star 35")
Childlike heart is the hometown of adults. In children, the writer sees simple nature, sincere feelings and naive eyes to see the world and society clearly. When talking to children, you don't have to be "across the belly" like talking to adults, you can be free, "don't think" and "don't be reserved". Their bright eyes, small faces and sincere "love" are written in capital letters. Only after experiencing ugliness, abnormality, distortion, conspiracy, fraud and sin in the world can we love human childhood with simplicity, sincerity and innocence. In a society with too much suffering, childlike innocence has become the spiritual sustenance for writers to avoid secular storms, seek hope and comfort, and explore the essence beyond historical reality.
Bing Xin's poems are simple, cordial and vivid, as if talking to each other. The work is about Xishan's love for children. At the bottom, it has the deep connotation of loving children. Bing Xin values childlike innocence. In her poems, she repeatedly compares children to "bright and happy stars" in her "soul" (star 4). It is the power of childlike innocence that makes Bing Xin attached to future generations and children's literature all his life.
As long as it involves real literature, it is necessary to have a sincere and beautiful childlike innocence. This is the inspiration of this little poem.
