"All life should act freely under the blue sky, and in the open life, seek freedom and make yourself happy!"
—Jack London
The stories in the language textbooks are also legendary!
Recently, Jack London, the author of the well-known "Love of Life", joined hands with Disney to bring a good-looking cartoon "The Call of the Wild" to children. The film, adapted from his novel of the same name, won numerous accolades as soon as it was released on November 13.
It's called the best tear-jerking film of the year, and it tells the story of a dog named Buck who has been honed and grown into the leader of a wolf pack.
Netizens commented: "This movie is suitable for parents to watch with their children, in reliving the thrills of Buck's way, savoring the meaning of growth, fate, willpower, love and respect." ”
A dog, completed its mission, the original book is also tireless to read. Through Inspirational Buck, Jack London tells the children the truth about these points of life.
Parents will not accompany them for a lifetime, and will one day be separated
The protagonist Buck is a dog living in the mansion of Judge Miller in southern California, living in luxury. Here, it is surrounded by love, pampered with pride and innocence.
It is like a child who is raised in a greenhouse, not knowing that although the love in this world is for the purpose of aggregation, the love of parents for their children will be separated, but the form of separation is different. Some are active, some are passive, and some are even full of conspiracy and deception for inexplicable reasons. For example, Buck wandered the wilderness because he was secretly sold by a gardener who owed gambling debts.
It turns out that every child's fate with their parents is separation. There are no parents who accompany you all your life, only drift away. It's just that this understanding takes time.
Don't overestimate relationships, and don't underestimate human nature
The most alarming thing about Buck's departure is that at the moment of being trafficked. No one paid attention to its misfortune, not even it thought it was going for a walk, even if the leather rope around its neck was tightened, it thought it was to "accept the task".
Overestimating close relationships has become a disaster. Credulity and neglect allowed the most familiar people to dominate Buck's fate.
Buck dedicates himself to saying that it is right to live a kind life, and it is not bad not to speculate on others with malice, but Keigo Higashino said: "There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart." ”
Man can torture sin from whiteness, and he can also torture whiteness from sin. Greed and selfishness are the swamps of human nature. Without a 100% trust relationship, everything takes time to test.
Remember that while being kind to the world, you must also learn to beware of hidden malice.
Learn to be patient, but also learn to fight
Fate took a sharp turn for the worse, and Buck was resold several times. Its identity is constantly changing, from a pet to a commodity to be bought and sold, from a commodity to a tool for transportation expenses, and finally to a postman dog pulling a sled.
Hungry, tortured, never-ending labor, and horrific wild strife, Buck matured rapidly under harsh conditions.
Beaten and tortured by due diligence, the stick left Buck without dignity. It struggled, "by calming the anger in the heart and soothing the wounded self-esteem to pass the night." But he was gradually tamed and saw that there was nothing he could do, only forbearance.
That Buck, what a thing! Act seriously and act cautiously. That's what Buck got. But the leading dog, Spitz, often bullied and provoked Buck. At one point, Buck was even attacked by a group of three dogs. What if my life is threatened? There is only counterattack.
This is also what Buck wants to say to the children, that all endurance and patience have limits.
Blindly forbearance is useless, swallowing anger and seeking perfection can only make people think that you are stupid and good bully. Only by fighting against fate can you get the life you want.
Only by strengthening oneself can one seek change
Buck, who has tasted the bitter taste of life, has the initial accumulation of experience, and relies on them to have accurate cognition. Reality is harsh, and There are only four endings in front of Buck:
Die either from work, from the cold, from starvation, or from fighting.
Buck with his strong physique withstood the test and showed his strengths. It is more powerful, fiercer, and more cunning than the Eskimo dog. In the end, because of his judgment, action and leadership excellence, he became the leading dog of the bobsled team.
The taste of life depends on yourself to taste. Polishing in the world is the only way. Every child eventually has to go to two kinds of life, one is to climb upwards, and the other is to fall freely. Give up on yourself, fall freely, you must be crushed to pieces; grow up quickly, even if you are in a desperate situation, you can survive in a desperate situation.
Fate is responsible for shuffling the cards, and it is we who play the cards. Strengthening yourself is the only way out, and it is also the best way out.
Love and respect are eternal strengths
Lu Yu said: "No matter who it is, we have experienced or are experiencing the darkest moments of our lives, which is a long, dark, cold, desperate tunnel. ”
Everyone has their own darkest moment. Buck also had the toughest journey.
It allowed Hal's stick and whip to hit itself, dying because it did not want to get up again. In a moment of crisis, Thornton, a gold digger, saves Buck. He gave Buck long-lost love and hope. Under his care, Buck's wounds healed, his muscles were full again, and he had two friends, Skeeter the little dog, and, the big dog. He even met his own love, a she-wolf who was infinitely gentle with her.
Love and respect changed Buck's fate. In the meaning of life, the law of cause and effect is circulated, which will stimulate greater energy.
Buck's efforts to give back also changed Thornton's fate: in the fall, Buck desperately saved Thornton from falling into the water; in the winter, he single-handedly pulled a thousand-pound sleigh, allowing Thornton to win the money for the trip.
Fromm said: "Love is not just an emotion, but it is also a decision, a judgment, a commitment. ”
Life is long, and loving and being loved is the eternal light in every child's life. No matter what kind of difficulties they experience, as long as they do not lose the ability to love others, even if they encounter difficulties, children will walk out of the thorns because of the tenderness in their hearts.
Only by listening to the call of the heart will we come out of our own life
Life reshaped Buck's life. Surviving in the wild, domestication traits gradually degenerate from Buck. By chasing and hunting prey, the wild nature of the ancestors is gradually revived in its body. In the quiet of the night, it even whistles in the sky to soothe the heart. An instinctive impulse begins to dominate its life. This awareness became clearer after meeting the she-wolf.
Nietzsche said, "A man who knows what he is living for can endure any kind of life." ”
Later, Thornton took Buck on a gold rush. In the process, Buck wanders freely into the wilderness and races with the Wolf Brothers through the vast world. This allowed Buck to finally find himself. When Thornton dies, Buck returns to the forest and finds his mission to take charge of his future destiny.
The most important thing in life is to find yourself, and awakening is the most essential force. British educator Victor Frank said:
"Everyone is questioned by life, and he can only answer this question with his own life, and only with 'responsible' to answer life."
Learning to survive is an indispensable skill. Awakening one's own heart is the ultimate belonging of every soul. Buck's experience tells us that inspiring children's deep spiritual strength and unleashing their own uniqueness will allow them to embrace a unique and exclusive life.
All experiences are about shaping you better
Zhou Guoping said: "People will grow up three times, the first time when they find that they are not the center of the world; the second time is when they find that no matter how hard they try, some things are still powerless; the third time is when they know that some things may be powerless, but they will still try to fight for it." ”
Being trafficked was an accident in Buck's life. Wandered, whipped, driven, used as a tool, it was feared, it was painful. It has fought for its life and has been crushed by heavy work. Finally Buck returns to the wilderness and completes his metamorphosis.
The experience reshaped Buck's life. Its life tells children that encountering confusion, difficulties, setbacks, making choices and decisions is the only way to go through life. Every child needs two kinds of strength, external strength and inner resuscitation.
Children must realize that everything that happens and plays out in life is to make them look at things from a higher perspective. From external setbacks to inner pain, it is all about completing the shaping of self-worth.
And the ultimate meaning of life is to laugh at life. When we know how to cherish life, love and respect, we can live out our own light. This may be the inspirational Buck brings us inspiration.
