In Digimon, there is an interesting setting: each of them has a badge, and each represents a quality. Courage, friendship, love, honesty, knowledge, light, hope, innocence. Of these badges, which one do you have left?
Twenty years ago, we all felt more or less the chosen children. It took 20 years to realize that life doesn't have to be like this.
We have all become people who force ourselves to make a brave choice even in pain.
It's not just a hot-blooded cartoon. It told us 20 years ago: what is growth in the end.
A colleague said that the reason why we can't forget Digimon so much is because we are the first children to be called.
Animation was introduced around 2001. People in animation go to elementary school, and so do we outside animation. The children in the animation have their own concerns, and so do we outside the animation. The children in the animation grow up slowly, and so do we outside the animation.
Let’s remember these protagonists together.
The hot-blooded Taichi Taijo and his partner Agumon, the talkative A and his Garurumon
Reliable and gentle Su Na, Xueba Mitsuro, the eldest A Zhu, beautifully dressed Mei Mei, the youngest A Wu and Jia Er, their Digimon is particularly enviable, an angel beast, a goddess beast. It is the earliest cp.
When I read this story before, it was actually quite fun. But now I realize that there is actually a rare mention of death, separation, and family. Every child is lonely. For example, Sona and Ah Ho are both single parents. One feels that he has never been loved by his mother: one matures like an adult from the beginning, and is very closed to himself:
Seeing Su Na crying, others were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. He held his chest on the side and said: At this time, just cry as much as you want. At first glance, I cried a lot, very experienced. The younger brother Awu has been relying on his elder brother and feels so weak.
Even his Badamon evolved the latest. After everyone else has successfully transformed, only he remains the same. In the face of the enemy, his air cannon is like a ticklish, useless.
This is probably the earliest moment we experience anxiety. Why am I no better than others?
Why am I falling behind? Why can't it be just me?
There are a lot of words that they hide from saying.
Mitsuro is an orphan. He has long known that his "parents" are not blood, but he has been burying this secret.
Azhu is the oldest, but hesitant and indecisive. The family has always compared him with his brother, and has rarely given approval. All other Digimon are taken care of, only Gomamon has been taking care of Azhu.
A colleague said that he felt sorry for a mature Digimon like Gomamon.
"But think about it again, I was actually like Azuo when I was a kid."
Tai is reckless. When in trouble, the downside is very obvious. In order to let Agumon continue to evolve, he kept feeding it: "It's up to us now!" During the battle, in order to force Agumon, he rushed out and put himself in danger. Agumon evolved, but it evolved wrong.
Become a very destructive zombie tyrannosaurus. Once you fight, you can't stop until you die.
Fortunately, it finally degenerated into its original appearance.
Tai was very lost and sad. "It's my fault, everyone, I'm sorry."
When I was a child, I watched them and liked to discuss who had the most powerful tricks and who had the strongest fighting power.
Look at them when they grow up, but remember them at their most vulnerable and imperfect.
Of course, they finally defeated the enemy and saved the world. Then, it's time to leave.
As a child, I didn't understand why kids had to say goodbye to Digimon. When I grew up, I realized that this was my first teaching about separation.
On whether we can meet again:
- I will never see you again.
——There is no such thing, when the demon beasts, did we not meet again after being scattered?
——Because at that time I always believed that we would meet again.
- Now you have to believe.
About whether to see the last time:
——Why are you hiding from Meimei, she has been looking for you.
——Because parting is very painful, since it is painful, I don’t want to see her.
But in the end, it came.
Sorry! Thank you!
Then Meimei's hat flew out.
At the same time, there is "growth".
Twenty years later, we are the same as these chosen kids.
After a short period of passion, when I grew up and worked, I realized that my dream might not come true, and I began to experience doubts and unease.
But some things have also changed. We are no longer chosen children, but learn to choose our own life.
Even in pain, he didn't stop moving forward.
After 20 years, this is perhaps the most important thing Digimon has taught us, as the theme song sings:
"We can always embrace infinite dreams and travel through a ruthless world."
