      Learn to accept love on dark days


      The movie "Life of Zucchini" should be considered a relatively small minority. It is not as vigorous as "Zootopia" and is known to all ages. It's not too funny, and focuses more on real life from a child's perspective. If you are not a fan of anime movies, you may miss this work directed by Claude Ballas and jointly produced by a Swiss and French team after 18 months. Although little known in the...

      Four ounces of "shadow" power

      This is an excellent French cartoon, just hearing the cute French pronunciation of the young children in it makes you fall in love with French movies and want to learn French.

      The structure of the story is quite simple. It starts with a series of stories that happened between a child named Zucchini and a group of friends from the orphanage after he came to the orphanage... Although the beginning of the story can basically be guessed at the end of seventy-eighty-eighty , but in...

      We are all the same and deserve to be loved

      "We are all the same, no one loves us."
      Simon lowered his head when he said this. Removed the usual stubborn and arrogant disguise, revealing his cowardice and helplessness.
      Very distressing.

      This clay animation, co-produced by France and Switzerland, shows the primitive simplicity of hand-made, and the content depicts the purity and transparency of the child's heart.
      Don't treat children as fools who don't understand anything, and describe the world of children in a...

      fairy tale

      Those who survive are called orphans, and those who do not survive are called corpses. In fairy tales, there is only a beautiful world, not a dirty world. There are rich governments and poor governments in this world. Earthquakes, hurricanes, pests and diseases, the Black Death, not to mention orphans, adults can't live, and the government can't do anything, so sometimes I want to thank Yuan Longping and various scientists for fighting against nature and moving forward with difficulty, so...

      The past and present of the orphanage

      A few years ago, by chance, I worked in a child welfare home for a period of time.

      Aaron, a chubby, handsome and sunny boy, 5 years old, is the monitor of the small class. He is very sensible and responsible. He will help the teacher with all his tasks, and he will laugh with pride when the teacher praises him.
      That day, he was adopted. An American family has adopted 3-4 children from different countries. They completed the formalities, and before anyone could fly, they sent a...
