Notes on Cao Wenxuan's Books—

1} I read the book Bronze Sunflower in the summer vacation, from which I got to know the smart and kind dumb boy in the countryside and the smart and sensible girl Sunflower. Sunflower's father is an artist who carves sunflowers in bronze. Once he took his daughter sunflower to work in the countryside with others. Sunflower's father went to the sunflower field in the barley field to paint sunflowers, and when he came back, he drowned in the river in the barley field, so the sunflower became an orphan.

At the age of five, bronze had a high fever and burned into a mute. He can't communicate with others by language, nor can he go to school with his schoolbag on his back. He suffered a lot. During the locust plague, the whole family did not have enough to eat and put on clothes, but they still had to work in the fields and desperately saved money for sunflower to go to school. Bronze made an ice necklace for sunflower to perform on stage, and hung it around the sunflower's neck by hand, which touched everyone. Among them, what moved me most was the content described in Chapter 4 "Lu Hua Shoes". In the snowy winter, Bronze went to Mayou Town to sell reed shoes. In order to sell more money to reduce the burden on his family, he even sold his reed shoes and walked home barefoot in the snow. Today, we have several pairs of children's cotton shoes. How can we endure such pain? Think about how happy we are.

Sunflower lost her mother at the age of three and her father at the age of seven. Although the Bronze Family was poor, they adopted sunflowers, and Bronze and Sunflowers became good friends of brother and sister. Bronze's grandmother is ill. Sunflower went out to work at a young age in order to save money to see her grandmother. Although she only earned a meager income, it was not enough to treat her, but his filial piety was very touching. It doesn't hurt to spend one yuan or two at ordinary times. You know, this money is the reward of parents' hard work, and spending money indiscriminately is a disrespect for their labor. In my family, my parents have done a lot for me, but I seldom give my parents what they can do. I only know how to get love. What a pity! The story touched me deeply. When I see bronze and sunflower playing carefree in the reeds, my mood will be happy with them, and I can laugh happily when I see happy places. If only bronze and sunflower could live happily together forever! When I saw the sensible bronze studying for my sister and shattered her desire to go to school, my heart was also sour. If the living conditions of bronze and sunflower were better, how happy it would be if mom and dad could let them go to school at the same time! Bronze and sunflower have become stronger and more optimistic after experiencing floods and locusts. It is not easy for two children who grew up together to be separated happily. This kind of pain makes bronze a little demented, and even makes dumb bronze use up all his life's strength and shout out: "Sunflower-Flower!" " This is the sound of bronze! Such a painful experience is beyond our children who live in sugar water.
