Astro Boy in every era

In 2007, I saw Huang Yali lit the cold fireworks in her hands on the stage and sang "100,000 horsepower, seven divine powers, the selfless and fearless Astro Boy through the vast world" like a little superman, and then she suddenly waved. The cold fireworks started, ran wildly on the stage, and sang "La La La" loudly. At that moment, I was moved and danced: Ah, our good friend, the selfless and fearless Astro Boy.

When I started to remember, the 1980s were almost over, followed by the 1990s when information was inflated. Virtual networks became popular, and people always seemed to be cautious. So I often miss the 1980s full of ideals and warmth, just as the Japanese often lament the difference between the Showa era and the Heisei era.
All growth is lonely. Perhaps in the lonely growth of the only child born in the 1980s, this generation has begun a "one person's march". We are asking ourselves whether a person can transcend ideology, politics and culture and become independent. After all, it is the era of great power against great power, great organization against great organization, and great ideology against great ideology. My parents were very busy when I was very young, they disdain any cartoons I watch, such as "Ultraman", such as "Dinosaurs", the only time it was on the original Zhejiang One at 5:30 pm " "Astro Boy", my father was attracted when the opening song started, and then sat next to me and watched the entire episode of "Astro Boy" with me. I've forgotten what the hell that episode was about now, but I still remember when my dad put me on his shoulders and posed around the house when the little steel cannon shot out of Astro's ass The scene of Astro Boy modeling. For a long time after that, my dad and I were never this close again, he was busy with his career, and I grew up.
In the small society of the Showa era, the kind-hearted Astro Boy would never doubt others and never hurt others. Although he was just a little robot boy, he still firmly sought approval. I was reading an interview with Zeng Yike by "New Weekly" two days ago. When it was said that Miss Zeng had to face a lot of dissatisfaction, Miss Zeng replied succinctly: "I don't care about those who don't like me at all. I didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t like it if I don’t like it.” When I saw this, I suddenly felt a little dazed, the post-90s generation has grown up so quickly, and my signature on QQ is still “a child like me”.
When I was in elementary school, there was a girl in my class. She was not very good-looking, and her grades were average, not even as good as many boys. You know this is not a normal thing. In elementary school, girls always seem to have better grades than many boys. Hello guys. So we began to rumor that this girl had a problem with intelligence, nicknamed her in the class, and often bullied her. Once after school, I rushed back to school to pick up the pencil case I forgot in the classroom. It was very late, and the girl was cleaning the class by herself. I asked her, today is not your day. She said that there was an exam tomorrow, and they all went back to review. I was very surprised at the time, so why do you need to clean it? She said, because I am their friend. I thought viciously, she's really an idiot, then hurried away and saw "them" playing skipping rope downstairs in my house. Many years later, when we all grew up, we held an alumni reunion, and everyone voted for the favorite person in elementary school, and the girl who got the most votes was actually this girl.
When I wrote this, I turned out the article about the interview with Zeng Yike in "New Weekly", and found that the interviewer was actually Jiang Fangzhou, a post-90s generation. When the girl who became famous was twelve years old, she talked maturely and calmly. Love, menstruation, sex, even "Viagra". I was very nervous to find that although our generation after the 1980s had also expressed their opposition to the world radically, the opposition was still based on recognition and attention; while the post-90s generation showed an early disregard and Self-contained, including self-sufficiency in worldview. This disregard, this self-sufficiency, is something we are completely unfamiliar with. So I take it for granted that there should be no Astro Boy in their world. The childhood of our generation has passed, and what new things will their generation bring to this confused society?
I took my post-00 niece to the theater to watch Harry Potter. She watched it with joy, but she couldn't remember anything after watching it. I guess she couldn't appreciate the vicissitudes of growing up together that Harry brought me, she just saw it as a distraction and entertainment. Just like "Astro Boy" back then, I just because it was a cartoon, and my father because of his childhood experiences. Last night I was watching the trailer of "Astro Boy" at a friend's house, and the pure superman boy in my mind shouted "Wow--" in the air like a Yankee, and I was silently struck by lightning. . My little niece started begging me to take her to see "Astro Boy" again, for her it was a cartoon, for me it wasn't that simple. So I made things difficult for her, why must I watch this movie. The little girl actually gave me an unexpected answer with clear eyes - because the voice is Heimer! God, she knew about Heimer, the star of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Yes, maybe they don't remember Astro Boy's kindness and his heart for seeking approval, only his handsome face and the little handsome guy who dubs him, but they will grow up one day, and they will remember him when they grow up. From this selfless and fearless Astro Boy. I decided to take my little niece to go to the movies. There is a more utilitarian reason. As Zhang Ailing said, we will all be "in the memory of others" in the future. The right to judge is temporarily in our hands, and in the next era, It will be up to them to judge us, including our judgement of them. Fortunately, there is Astro Boy in the next era.
