Long Yingtai's "Three Books of Life" I only read "Seeing" and "Child, You Take Your Time", and I read it many years ago. Now that I have taken out the old book and read it again, my feelings are different again, because I am older again.
I started reading "Children, You Take Your Time" or bought at the Bertelsmann Book Club, the first time I read it, I didn't have children, but I was attracted by Long Yingtai's delicate, simple words, just a plain narrative to write out the mother's love for the child, and the maternal love was about to come out. Later, when I had a child, I truly felt the love in Longyingtai's words.
When An An went to school on the first day, "Mother's eyes were locked on An An, watching him move, this child, still so thin, so small, the expression on his face, still retaining the childishness of the suckling baby... An An and the dinosaur walked forward, walking along, and did not enter the dark door. An An didn't look back. Mom's eyes, still staring at the door that could not see how deep it was, how far away it was, looked at it, and her eyes were blurred. "On the first day of my daughter walking into the school gate with her school bag on her back, I also stared at it for a long time, until she turned into the building with the small back of her big school bag. I began to worry again about whether she would be able to eat well at noon; she was very thin and had to have a lot of books in her school bag to carry back... It wasn't until my wife pushed me that I came out of all kinds of imaginations and was ridiculed: a big man as far as it is. If she knew what it was for her father, it was my little cotton jacket.
The book details many of An'an's upbringing in kindergarten and elementary school. I can clearly see that a mother records the growth process of her child in such detail, because she is accompanying her child with her heart and knowing every story of each stage of her child's growth. It's like she said in "Seeing", "How did you love to kiss that little boy's hair?" He has the head shape of a little boy in pajamas kneeling and praying on Christmas cards, angelic cheeks, hair that smells of soap, and when you fall asleep on your shoulders, your hands wrap around his round body, and you feel that the heavens and the earth are big, and happiness is just this little tenderness in your arms. "I remember the most peaceful and contented moment in my heart was a summer afternoon, taking a nap with my child, gently covering her stomach with a thin quilt, and gently fanning her wind. At that time, everything was not important, only the small person around him was the whole of the world. Although I know that when I grow up and don't study seriously, I will be angry, and when I rebel, I will be ruthlessly intimidated, so what, it doesn't matter.
I really want my child to grow up slower, play a few more years, be happy for a few more years, and be cute for a few more years. Because I know that when she grows up, there will be heavy study for her to sit at the table day by day, bring myopic glasses, and there will be no carefree laughter. Because I know she will still face the pressures of life, making her tired of running.
Child, I want you to grow up slowly, slowly happy, let me accompany you more.
Today I focus on sharing a book, just for the children at heart. Next time I share "Eye Sending".
Finally, in the words of the book to you as a parent, "I slowly and slowly understand that the so-called father-daughter mother-son relationship only means that your fate with him is that you are constantly watching his back drift away in this life and this life." ”
Have you ever thought that when your children are getting old and they are disliked, he will also think: Who has not been a little baby?
