Feng Zikai said, "I once wrote a collection of paintings to persuade people to quit killing. But my purpose of protecting life is to protect the heart, and not to kill ants is not to cherish the life of the ants, but to love and protect one's own heart, so that it will not be cruel. ”
This kind of natural heart is also reflected in the movie "Heidi and Grandpa".
Let us have to sigh, like Heidi's kind and sincere face of every bad environment in life, in the end it is for herself to have a clean heart.
Such persistence requires great courage, like the conversation between Heidi and Grandma:
"Everybody laughs at me because I want to write stories"
"That's because people know so little, and you've seen the bigger world. If you feel like there are things in the world that will make you happy, do it, no matter what others say."
As Hesse said: For everyone, there is only one real responsibility: to find yourself. Whether his destination is a poet or a madman, a prophet or a criminal – these have nothing to do with him, it does not matter. His duty is simply to find his own destiny— not the fate of others—and then to hold on to his whole life in his heart, with all his heart and never stopping. All other paths are incomplete, a way of escaping, a cowardly return to the ideals of the masses, a drift, a fear of the heart.
And Heidi is probably the embodiment of truth, goodness, beauty and courage.
In the face of childhood misfortunes, some people become cruel, some people become closed, and Heidi, even if her parents die early, are adopted, and then thrown to her grandfather's house far away from the city, and then sold to a noble family as a girl... None of these encounters left a shadow in her mind, and she was depressed like an angel who still treated everyone with her heart.
A strange and stubborn grandfather, a dazed and tiger shepherd boy, Heidi with her eyes as clear as a lake, innocent heart to find grandpa's inner softness and shepherd boy Pete's real cuteness.
How much kindness and love does a person have in his mind to be so honest with others? I don't know, but Heidi shows us the good side of the world. So warm and healing.
Some people say that the happy times of childhood will always flow in our hearts.
I don't know if anyone remembers watching an animated film called "The Girl of the Alps" when I was a child, in which the little protagonist is named Hayigi, and the plot is basically exactly the same as "Heidi and Grandpa", because both are adapted from the same novel - the novel "Heidi" created by the Swiss children's literature writer Johanna Spiri.
Heidi is a recognized classic in the history of Western children's literature and has been translated into more than 70 languages. Even the places in the works have become tourist attractions.
When we grow up, do we remember the beautiful innocence of the past? Have we all grown into the way we once feared? And the world may not be as sinister as we think, and the beauty, like the beauty of the Alps, has always been there.
Heidi and Grandpa is a German drama film produced by Orgener Pictures, directed by Alain Guspenner, written by Petra Biondina Volp, and starring Anouk Steffen, Isabelle Ultraman, Anna Shens, etc. The film was released in Germany on December 10, 2015 and Chinese mainland on May 16, 2019. Adapted from Johanna Sbilee's novel of the same name, the film tells the story of heidi, a naïve and cute little girl who was sent by her aunt to live in the Alps to live with her eccentric grandfather, and she touched and helped those around her with her sincere kindness.
