Thanks to Star TV!
But!! Today I want to bring you a very classic animated TV series - "The Girl of the Alps", broadcast "The Story of Little Lotus". This cartoon has always bothered me, there are too many cartoons that resonate with everyone, but whenever I share this cartoon with my friends, the other party says that they have not seen it, which is very uncomfortable! Because this animation has always been the animation NO.1 in my heart, not only is it pure and beautiful, but the environmental protection concept, friendship, family affection, and free spirit have also influenced me to this day.
If you really haven't seen this cartoon, you must have seen the following movie

Many people's childhood memories
Cute "Little Lotus"
"The Girl of the Alps" is a classic of Studio Ghibli directed by Takahata and set by Miyazaki. As the central figure of Ghibli, it was Takahata who discovered Miyazaki and was the first to use Hisaishi. Takahata's rivalry and mentorship relationship with Miyazaki has also become a good story in the industry.

Born in 1974, "The Girl of the Alps" stood out in the young and enthusiastic animation market with the profound adult fables contained in the work, and also created a good market influence for the birth of Studio Ghibli's founding work "Valley of the Wind" in 1984. In June 2014, in an interview with Takahata at Southern Weekend, Takahata specifically mentioned that he was very lucky to shoot the animated TV film "The Girl of the Alps" when mentioning the theme of environmental protection in the work.

Takahata positioned "The Girl of the Alps" as "a work that celebrates nature", and the beauty and power of nature are fully displayed in this work, which is one of the reasons why this animation is so touching.
1. The Alps have become a place of yearning. The first mountain I really knew was the Alpine Mountains, which originated from this cartoon and became a place of longing to this day. The cartoon shows the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons of the Alps, as well as the sunrise and sunset of the Alps, torrential rains, bright suns, blizzards...

2. A beautiful and free state of harmonious coexistence with nature. Xiaolian's grandfather was a lonely "old man" who lived alone on the top of the Alpine mountain, away from the crowds. Before Xiaolian arrived, he was only with the big dog (Laifu). Here, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, not too many traces of human civilization, only cabins, dogs and nature. Everything is so harmonious and beautiful. When I watched this cartoon when I was a child, I felt that the white clouds were soft and sticky and could lie on it; goat milk could be squeezed and drunk at the same time;

3. Reverence for nature and respect for life. After the innocent and cute Little Lotus came to the Alps, she was full of curiosity and love for everything - the "big horned boss" goat, the very old eagle, the "little cute" squirrel, the soft white cloud... The lines in the cartoon are filled with reverence for nature and life.
4. The power of nature – giving life and vitality. After her aunt stabilized her job, she took Xiaolian away from her grandfather and took her to the home of a rich man in Frankfurt to accompany Clara, a disabled and wheelchair-bound elder sister. In the big city of reinforced mud, Xiaolian, who is happy and free in the Alps, begins to become sad and depressed, and she will miss the shepherd boy Xiaodouzi in the Alps every day, miss her grandfather, miss Rifle, and miss the flowers and plants of the Alps. The architecture of the city is lifeless, and Xiaolian has never been happy without nature, and finally even began to sleepwalk, in which she returned to the Alps countless times and ran freely.

Clara's grandmother and father are very kind people, knowing that Xiaolian misses her hometown, he took her to the forest to play, and Xiaolian, who was close to nature again, showed a smile that had not been seen for a long time.
After leaving nature, Xiaolian lost her happiness and vitality. And the contrasting big miss Clara, who has a leg disability and can only live in a wheelchair - she has always lived in the city, her parents rarely go home because of business, there are only housekeepers and servants at home, learning is also a tutor, and she is an incredibly lonely girl. Xiaolian returned to the Alps halfway through, and did not forget to bring Clara back to the "sunshine" of the Alps, because the doctor said that the sunlight of the forest was beneficial to Clara's body.
Due to excessive missing xiaolian suffering from sleepwalking, grandma knew and decided to let Xiaolian go back, and Xiaolian finally returned to the Alps and returned to her grandfather. After Xiaolian left, Clara felt even more lonely, she missed Xiaolian very much, so she asked her father to go to the Alps, and under the advice of the doctor, her father also agreed to Clara to find Xiaolian, and the two friends finally reunited in the Alps.

Alpine life makes Clara gradually full of vitality, with the help of grandpa, little bean and little lotus, the Alpine environment inspires Clara to constantly practice walking, losing her dependence on wheelchairs, Clara finally stood up, finally able to walk...

Clara began to be able to walk
Eventually, Clara returns to the city with greater health and makes a pact with Xiaolian to meet the Alps every year. The power of nature can not only heal a person's mind, but also cure physiological diseases, and nature's endowment of life is selfless and great!
The whole cartoon is full of healing, warmth and positive energy, whether it is Xiaolian and Grandpa, Clara's affection with her father and grandmother, or the friendship of Xiaolian, Clara and Xiaodouzi, and finally meet and meet in the beautiful Alps
