The heroic stories we watched as children silently nourish our lives and leave a mark on our lives.
When I was a child, my father bought me a large stack of comic books, among which "Little Hero Rain" and other stories reflecting the wisdom and courage of Children and Devils in Baiyangdian are fascinating and have been watching for a long time.
That summer, Guan Hua, the author of "Little Heroes In the Rain", came to Hefei to attend the Anhui Provincial Military Industry Literature and Art Symposium and saw Mr. Guan Hua, 75 years old, with a childlike appearance, steady steps, a solemn posture, a strong spirit, and no shelf at all, like a kind neighbor uncle. When the accompanying comrades introduced me to Guan Hua, I tightly held the old writer's thick and powerful hand and said only one sentence: "'Little Hero Rain' is my favorite book when I was a teenager. Guan Hua sighed for a moment, "This work is also on the primary school Chinese textbook!" "He waited with us for the bus and took the minibus to the conference room of the Red Star Machinery Factory.
Mr. Guan Hua gave us a wonderful lecture entitled "Thought is Lightning, Story is Thunder", which not only brought me the deepest touch and enlightenment, but more importantly, gave us the most sincere guidance and guidance in reading. I memorized a few pages full of notes, and his words echoed in my ears from time to time: The road to literature will not be straight, and a person's fate and literary connection are destined to be bitter, and there must be correct bitter optimism. Only literary works with thought and power can make Chinese literature stand majestically in the forest of the world. Later, I learned that Guan Hua not only wrote stories, but also was good at painting bamboo, and the ink bamboo he painted was characterized by thick dried and thick leaves, holding up the sky and the earth. The poet Ai Qing inscribed on his paintings: People are like their bamboo, bamboo is like their people, I love its bamboo, I love its people even more!
After class, I went to the restaurant with him to eat, and sat at the same table, and Mr. Guan Hua asked me if I would write poetry, and I said no. He said that after a day's work, writing a poem is a pleasant thing to do and can regulate the taste of life. Everyone was eating and talking about literature, and he told me: "There is a prototype for rain." It was a teenager who was leading the way for the Eighth Route Army, and when he crossed the blockade line, he was unfortunately hit by a bullet and died in front of Guan Hua. This is his eternal grief, and it is also the reason why he created "Little Hero Rain". Guan Hua believes that we should tell good hero stories to carry out patriotic education, and he naturally wrote this spirit into it when he wrote the texts, so that children know from an early age: we are Chinese, and we love our motherland.
The moon is still there, the clouds of the white lotus are still there, the evening wind is still there, and the heroic stories silently nourish our lives and leave imprints on our lives. Many years later, the little hero Rain came through the vicissitudes of decades, still the heroic teenager, without a trace of change, infecting the new people of the times. (Dai Xudong)
