"The Mole Goes to the City", a small cartoon about the prediction of urban industrialization, few people understood at the time

author:Riddle Stone

In the early 1980s, a Czech cartoon "The Mole's Tale" was played and popular in China.

One episode of "The Mole Goes to the City" tells a very interesting story, which is not only a little difficult for children to understand, but even for adults who were just facing reform and opening up at that time, they may not be able to appreciate the meaning.

The general idea is that the large forest where the moles, rabbits and hedgehogs are located has been cut down, leaving a large pile of tree stumps. Bulldozer cranes join forces to build cookie-cutter high-rise buildings, build layers of overpasses, and decorate the buildings with uniform apartments, offices and bathrooms, and the highway is a headless traffic.

The only luck that the three critters received a certificate of resettlement similar to aboriginal protection issued by the authorities. In this big city built in an instant, three little creatures with childlike silly and innocent eyes are looking around for a place to live. As a result, they can only live in artificial forests provided for them by the relevant authorities, and the green carpets are all plastic.

It turned out that they were so incompatible with such a seemingly interesting city, and they were naïve but powerless to fight. Until one day they were completely desperate, and finally understood that this place did not belong to them at all, at this time, three swans flew out of nowhere, and three small animals drove away in the goose and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.

I have to say that after the cute picture, a sad story is told. Especially at the end of the swan ride, whether the "Yellow Crane is gone" and escapes into the new Taoyuan Wonderland, or the helpless ending of driving the crane to the west, no one can say.

The threat of the future is silently revealed to people in a quiet cartoon. But at that time, we had not even heard of the words urbanization and industrialization, let alone what harm it had. At that time, I was just ignorant, but after a few years, I was already confused. A "Mole goes to the city", which actually contains carbon emissions, smog and other "high-end" words, in our ears whispered "golden mountains and silver mountains are not as good as green water and green mountains"
