The literary master Mark Twain once commented on "Anne of Green Gables":
"Anne is the most touching and beloved image of a child since the immortal Alice in Wonderland. ”
It took nearly 12 hours to read, and the end of the story made me cry again and again.
Anne is a child of an orphanage who is adopted by siblings Matthew and Marilla at Green Gables Farmhouse.
There are joys in the process of growing up, and there are also all kinds of big and small accidents.
Anne worked hard to study, and after graduating from a junior college, she successfully entered university.

At this moment, fate played a big joke on Anne. Matthew died suddenly, Marilla's health deteriorated, and this young and kind girl resolutely chose to give up going to college to teach in her hometown and accompany and take care of Marilla.
As Marilla used to educate Anne, "Acting well is really beautiful." ”
In this book, there are many people who behave beautifully, and they are all spreading love and kindness with practical actions, and they are all real people who behave beautifully.
01. Matthew and Marilla's love for Anne
Matthew is an honest, hard-spoken man who spends his days working on the farm.
When he went to the station to pick up the so-called adopted boy, he found that it was the girl Annie who had arrived.
The kind-hearted man couldn't bear to return directly to Anne, and he decided to give the hot potato to Marilla.
But on the way back to the farm, he was attracted to the lively and lovely Anne, so he protested with silence against Marilla, asking to keep Anne.
In the days that followed, he remained Anne's most loyal supporter and listener, appreciating everything Anne did.
When the uncaring man discovers that Anne's strangeness among a group of girls is that she doesn't have a beautiful dress with loose sleeves, the shy man overcomes all the embarrassment and crampedness and asks the female neighbor to help make a beautiful dress with loose sleeves on his behalf.
This is a fatherly love from the heart for Matthew, and even though Anne is just a little girl he has adopted, he seems to treat her as his own family.
He said that sometimes the benefits of expressing a little "appreciation" are no worse than all the serious "cultivation" in the world.

Marilla was Anne's direct parent, something that had been agreed with Matthew.
Because of her responsibility, she was extremely strict with Anne.
Anne is asked to pray every day, always dresses Anne in old-fashioned clothes, asks Anne to behave politely, and in order to correct Anne's unrealistic illusions, asks Anne to walk through the "haunted forest" at night.
Although it may seem harsh, even harsh, Marilla loves Anne dearly.
It is out of love and responsibility that she plays the role of a strict mother, helping Anne prune the branches and vines on the road to growth.
The siblings are not Anne's biological parents, but they are better than their biological parents.
They divide the work among themselves and perform their own duties. To give love and support to Anne on her growth path, as well as to develop her behavior and character.
In addition to their selfless love for Anne, the way the siblings educate Anne is also worth Xi.
They are lenient and severe, and they are relaxed. Give love, but at the same time restrain irrational behavior.
02, Annie's love for Matthew and Marilla
Anne says Matthew is her soulmate.
In the days of waiting for the Queen's College results, she said I wanted to "be at the top" for Matthew and Marilla, especially Matthew, who had always believed that Anne would leave the whole island behind. He has always believed in Anne unconditionally.
And Anne gets a full sense of security from Matthew, and she knows that Matthew will support her no matter what.
On the night of Matthew's death, her friend Diana offered to accompany Anne, but Anne refused.
She told Marilla that Diana was an outsider, which was a sad thing for both herself and Marilla.
After Matthew's death, she even felt that her sometimes smile and laughter were unfaithful to Matthew, believing that she shouldn't have a smile.

I can understand this because I've experienced the same feelings.
Half a year after my father's death, I was wrapped in great grief. Not allowing yourself to do anything entertaining, even if you listen to songs while driving, you will feel guilty and feel that it is a kind of disrespect to your father.
I think it's out of a deep love, because we're all the people each other loves the most.
Anne was not only in love with Matthew, but also in love with Marilla, who was strict with her.
After returning from Queen's College, looking at Marilla's tired face, Anne said that she would take over the work of the family to make it easier for Marilla.
Shortly after Matthew's death, Marilla faced the dilemma of imminent blindness.
She arranged everything and was ready to sell the Green Gables farmhouse and share it with friends.
But at the age of sixteen and a half, Anne decided to give up college and become a village teacher, taking on the responsibility of caring for Marilla.
She said that Marilla had put a lot of effort into herself, and that it was time for her to repay her.
They are not directly related, but after years of upbringing, Anne considers Green Gables Farmhouse to be her home, and Matthew and Marilla are no different from her own parents.
She loves them dearly and is willing to do anything for them.
03, Gilbert Blythe's love for Anne
Gilbert Bryce was a classmate of Anne's, and after grabbing her by the hair and mocking her for being a "redhead", Anne refused to associate with him.
In the following years, the two have secretly maintained a competitive relationship in learning and Xi, and you chase me.
But after Anne's family changes, Gilbert offered to lend a helping hand.

Hearing that Anne had given up on college, Gilbert, who had successfully applied for a local teacher in Arvonleigh, chose to quit voluntarily and gave Anne the opportunity to teach in Baisha Town, where she needed to pay extra for meals.
This is undoubtedly a large expense for Gilbert, who is not financially well-off.
But Gilbert's kindness led him to lend a helping hand to Anne.
It's like Anne gave up college for Marilla.
In this world, love flows, and the love given out will eventually flow back to oneself.
Matthew and Marilla's nurturing love for Anne, Anne also reciprocated their true love, and did not hesitate to sacrifice her personal future when Marilla needed her.
And Gilbert once again relayed Anne's selfless dedication and made a dedicated love for Anne.

Gu Cheng once said: "If I give my heart to others, I can't get it back, and if others give it to others, love will spread to the world." ”
Love is like a baton, one baton after another, one pass from one to the other.
05
As Anne said, "Dear world, you are lovely, and I am very happy to be able to live in your arms." ”
By Anne's side, there is always a group of people who behave beautifully, who are selfless and dedicated, who are kind and loving.
Kind and loving people will not have too bad luck after all, and fate will favor them extraordinarily.
