Written on the third anniversary of Uncle Guang's departure.
"Digimon 1", or the more widely translated name "Digimon 1", has influenced a large number of Chinese post-80s and post-90s in the same year, and today in 2020, it is still a classic, so much so that it has been repeatedly fired Tri, the final evolution and the 2020 version that just went live. "Digimon 1" is considered by many people to be their childhood, but in fact, many people can't analyze it properly. They often sigh "this is the childhood of my father" and it ends. In fact, its classic is far more than that. Please read it patiently. .
In fact, thousands of words are condensed into one sentence, " My childhood started with "Digimon 1", and finally Guangshu Xian died ." All of this, of course, has to start from the beginning. At the very beginning, in fact, everyone knows that Uncle Guang is not a genius, and he is far from being a first-line singer. He is a very ordinary and very real person, and it is precisely because he is very real that he can continue to influence us. He has since incorporated himself into the story after meeting the producers of Digimon 1 in Tokyo. After "Digimon 1" was broadcast in China, the theme of children's growth, the concerted efforts in the face of darkness, and the mutual influence between family and partners have left other animation works several streets away, so I won't go into details here, after all, there are many other Netizens have analyzed it very thoroughly. Here I will only say one thing: we all know that Taiyi represents the courage to move forward, and when faced with the attack of darkness, he is often the one who opens the door of courage and leads the team to overcome difficulties; we also know that the hope represented by Ayue will always be The last evolution, when all his teammates fell, when the clown emperor turned all other partners into dolls, and when he and Xiaoguang were on the verge of life and death, the hope held by Ayue finally turned the whole battle situation, repel the darkness, Protect the light.
What I want to say is that Uncle Guang is actually the real protagonist of "Digimon 1".
"Digimon 1" is beautiful, and the ending is sweet. For me, "Flying Hat Kill" is not a period of childhood, but a comma, because there is still "Infinite" to continue to accompany me, and Uncle Guang's Leaving really brought an end to my childhood, because I would never see or hear him again. Uncle Guang is Taiyi and also A Yue. At the age of 29, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, and he started a 13-year battle against cancer. It would be unimaginable for him to be me. We all love "Digimon 1", and we also love Uncle Guang. We have seen in him the "courage" he mustered in the face of the dark disease, and we have also seen what he has held in his 13-year fight against cancer. "Hope", we even saw him dying and guarding our childhood. You need to know that "Digimon" is an IP that is constantly going downhill. The downhill of these 20 years is the sadness of watching our childhood go away. Fortunately, Uncle Guang is guarding, he insists on singing for the sequel during the fight against cancer, he returns to concerts twice, and he sings Butter-Fly with all his strength with the exaggerated scar on his throat, Tell us that he still has Taiyi's courage, he still has A Yue's hope, and he is still shoulder to shoulder with our childhood, even if we can't bear him to sing so sickly. And his last Butter-Fly sang how many unchosen children, how many older children's childhood went away with her.
Is Digimon 1 a classic? It's not enough, what about "Digimon 1" + Wada Koji? That's right, it is this plus sign that really makes his classic, the only one in the world. The children who were selected in those days were lucky. Their great adventures gained courage, friendship, love, innocence, knowledge, honesty, light and hope, and gained intimate Digimon, and gained childhood growth; they were not selected back then. The children called by him were also lucky, and they followed the 8 children with the same mental journey; the uncle who sang Butter-Fly back then was unfortunate, with the best qualities but unable to overcome the disease. After 20 years, we have discovered that animation is beautiful, and reality is extremely cruel. It is not always possible to defeat the darkness with courage, and hope in the darkness will not necessarily usher in the light . Three years ago, when Uncle Guang left, we realized that we are not Taiyi, nor Ayue, we are just the unselected children who can only watch our childhood guardian leave.
"Digimon 1" and Koji Wada are the two sides of light and shadow, virtual and real. This is a complete story, and this is our lost childhood.
