After many years, I picked up "Old Things in Seongnam",
When I was young, I only felt a lack of interest in reading,
And now that I read it again, I am deeply moved.
Yu Hua once said:
"Only clean eyes can see the soul."
Compared to the black and white distinction of adults,
7-year-old Hideko, clear eyes,
Can't tell the difference between the sky and the sea, can't distinguish between good and bad,
But it can always retain the warmth of life,
Awaken the tenderness that lurks in the heart.
Innocence, kindness, integrity, brightness,
The purity that was once there was the most precious.

Let's see the sea go! Let's see the sea go!
On the blue sea, white sails are raised.
The golden red sun rises from the sea,
Shine on the surface of the sea and shine on the bow of the ship.
Every child is a new visitor to the world.
With the original innocence and enthusiasm,
Don't know what's good,
It is also difficult to identify what is bad,
Often experience, but not easy to define.
Just like Hideko, whenever her mother says that others are crazy,
She always thinks of "Let's See the Sea."
She couldn't tell what was crazy and what was stupid.
It's like not being able to tell the boundaries between the sky and the sea.
I remember one year,
Hideko found a bunch of things in the grass,
Then there was another man.
Full of curiosity, with a slight fear,
Eiko actually talked to him.
Slowly, the two people became acquainted,
Although I have only met a few times, I have also talked about my heart.
Hideko learns that the man stole something,
However, the reason is for his younger brother to go to school.
No father, blind mother,
His brother became his only pillar.
The man said it sincerely,
Eiko listened very carefully,
They met to see the sea,
However, in the end, he was caught.
Mom said, this man is a thief,
But all Hideko thinks is", "Let's see the sea go."
Is stealing shameful? The answer is yes.
However, he is kind and simple, and loves his brother deeply,
He is also a good friend of Hideko,
A good brother in the eyes of the younger brother.

I don't know when,
We began to rush to define.
The quarrel in the comments,
Gossip in the mouths of the neighbors,
On the one hand,
It is enough to cover up a complex and rich soul.
Therefore, when Lu Xun was writing "Kong Yiji",
The child's perspective is chosen.
Remember every time Kong Yiji stepped into the Xianheng Hotel,
It will always be laughed at by all the drinking guests.
There is ridicule, there is ridicule,
There are also those who deliberately say that he stole books and make him angry.
In the eyes of the people of Luzhen, kong Yiji, who was ragged,
It's just a talking point after dinner.
"Kong Yiji is such a person who makes people happy,
But without him, others would have lived like this. ”
I don't know when, Kong Yiji gradually stopped coming,
People also gradually forgot about him.
Except for the treasurer who is owed money,
And the little guy who tells the story.
People saw only his dirty and torn robes,
However, they do not see the poison of the examination system on people.
Only to laugh at his embarrassment of stealing books,
But I don't see his patience with the child.
Kong Yiji is undoubtedly unmotivated,
However, the indifference of the people of Luzhen,
It is also enough to bring Kong Yiji's despair.

When I was young, I always thought that the hero would always be great,
The wicked should always be spurned.
However, until now, I suddenly found that
Life is not black and white,
The world is never colorful.
It's reminiscent of,
"I am not a medicine god" that was popular all over the Internet that year.
At that time, Cheng Yong was a poor Indian oil shop owner.
Until one day, a leukemia patient came to the door,
Hopefully, he smuggled a cure for leukemia from India.
Perhaps, at first, he still had the intention of making profits,
However, when smuggling channels are constantly being seized,
When more and more patients come to the door for help,
Looking into their eager and helpless eyes,
He finally chose to give up a comfortable life.
Later, the supplier in India went out of business,
He can only buy at a higher price,
In the face of patients who cannot afford to take medicine,
He made up for it with his own money.
The prototype of Cheng Yong is Lu Yong.
However, smuggling is a crime,
Lu Yong was also prosecuted by the procuratorate for this reason.
If you look at the results only,
Of course sin is evil,
Yet he used his own evil,
The lives of thousands of patients were returned.
As it is said in To Kill a Mockingbird:
"You can never really understand a person,
Unless you put on his shoes and walk around. ”
Empathize and have reservations
It is the greatest respect for the opening of the mouth.

Faced with confusion, Wang Xiaobo said,
"I often go back to my childhood,
Think about problems with a child's heart,
A lot of annoying problems become easy to solve. ”
The preciousness of the child's heart lies in its purity,
There is little prejudice after the vicissitudes,
There is little false trade-off of interests.
And life, the most precious,
After seeing the ugliness of the world,
Still able to retain the kindness and innocence of the heart.
Look at the world with a childlike heart,
Less subjective speculation, slower judgment.
Only because it is easiest to judge from the moral highest point,
And empathy is hard to understand.
