Text | Lifeng
There is a saying that everyone can open their mouths to call "fighting bull", but in "The Adventures of the Bull", this huge bull named Ferdinand, with a huge stature, is not at all. Not aggressive; not only that, but Ferdinand's favorite is actually all kinds of beautiful flowers. Back then, when Ferdinand was a young bull, he was not at all as idealistic and high-spirited as his fellow bulls, full of pride and vigour to become the bravest bull in the bullring; Ferdinand was always He has a gentle face and looks harmless to humans and animals, completely ignoring the ubiquitous fierce competition between small partners, and only showing tenderness, fascination and relaxation to those insignificant little flowers and grasses.
In Ferdinand's birthplace, Madrid's "House of Bulls", the reason why there is such fierce competition among bulls is probably no different from that of human society - the resources of champions are really limited, for bulls, even Survival has also become a resource that can only be obtained through competition. Gaining a competitive advantage means not only the great honor a bull can get, but also his photo will be turned into a poster to be admired by future generations. Competitive advantage means the chance of survival. The survival rule of the "House of Bulls" is harsh. Every time a selection is made, the selected bull will have the opportunity to become a much-anticipated star in the bullfighting arena. The bulls that have been repeatedly eliminated are likely to be directly pulled to the slaughterhouse due to their loss of value. . But the challenges faced by the selected bulls are often more cruel. The moment he walked into the bullring, it opened the real prelude to his life and death test. Accompanied by the graceful dancing of the matador, it is likely to be a bloody slaughter show. , the audience ran and struggled with the anger of the bulls, cheered and applauded the bullfighters, and brought the emotions in the bullring to a climax. Bulls in the bullring may also end up more miserable than those who go straight to the slaughterhouse, winning the selection but losing their lives more easily. The father of the little bull Ferdinand is one of the countless lucky and unfortunate bulls.
But in the bull's house, little Ferdinand is really a strange flower. He always ignores, has no interest in, and stays out of the fierce competition between his friends; and every day, he is worried about the only one that is weak and small in the yard. Lonely, but tenacious wildflowers. But the wild flowers that Ferdinand took good care of were trampled to shreds in the angry run and fight of the little bull, which made Ferdinand heartache. And on that day, Ferdinand's father defeated another bull father and proudly won the ticket to the bullring; but until late at night, little Ferdinand, who had been anxious all day, waited and waited, eager to see through, but never gave up. Can't wait until Dad comes back. Ferdinand was distraught, and the brutal competition of the "House of the Bulls" drowned out all his joy and hope.
Little Ferdinand found an opportunity to escape from the "Bull's House" in a fit of anger. Exhausted from the escape, he accidentally rolled down the hill... When he woke up the next day, Ferdinand was pleasantly surprised to find a cute girl with flowers on her head Looking at him curiously. Since then, Ferdinand has discovered a whole new world: a world full of mountains and fields full of flowers, and a world where you can see the beauty of the whole valley when you look up; it is a world full of laughter, and the air is filled with family and friendship, A world of warmth and love; a world where you can live happily without fierce competition; a world that escapes the bloody fights of bullrings, the mechanized killings of slaughterhouses; a world that belongs to Ferdinand and to his heart The world of sunshine girls who are connected and get along day and night.

However, Ferdinand's body is too strong, and his appearance still triggers A string of loss of control and accidents has left him mistaken for a dangerous beast. After some confusion and tossing, Ferdinand was taken back to the "Bull's House" where he had escaped so hard.

Stubborn opposition, strife, enmity and hatred in the heart. Ferdinand conquered everyone with love and kindness, and conquered the whole world. With the tenderness in the heart of a strong bull, he also filled the bloody bullring with the light of love.
Maybe the growth environment of the little bulls is full of vicious competition, fighting and fighting. What they are immersed in is the crazy fighting on the bullring, life and death, all of which make them unknowingly accustomed to the "fighting" way of thinking, mistakenly thinking that they are themselves Born to fight, they are habitually hostile to their partners, opponents, or everything around them; before they know it, the little bulls forget to feel the beauty and kindness in life, and they are no longer able to use it. Look at the world around you with a kind eye and solve real problems. Although the little bulls are all strong and excellent, life has made them accustomed to cruelty, and they are doomed to fail. And it is precisely this negative way of looking at the world that determines their inevitable failure.

When people replace hatred with love in their hearts, killing with reconciliation, and fighting with cooperation, everyone can become confident and resilient and win without fighting.

The happiest one. Maybe this world is lackluster and helpless in the first place, but the reason why the same world is attractive and wonderful to others is precisely because they have wisely chosen their own unique perspective on the world. When your heart is always full of warm love, when you can always look at everything around you with eyes full of love, you can finally become the invincible and invincible winner. The transitional competition and hostility come from the low self-esteem, anxiety and lack of security deep in the heart, and it is a manifestation of the weak; zero-sum games and vicious competition can only make oneself exhausted and make the world riddled with ruins Hole, make everyone a definite loser. No matter how much defense and hostility a person has in their hearts, Ferdinand believes that there is even a long-held love hidden in everyone's heart.
