Innocent and kind

The most heart-warming point is probably the rainy day, the little boy lends an umbrella to the red balloon to shelter from the rain.

When the little boy looks at the raindrops and then walks up to a stranger, the next image in my mind is of him holding a red balloon and strolling under the umbrella with the stranger. But the child's innocence was something I didn't expect. He attached the balloon to the umbrella and drenched himself in the rain.

This reminds me of a story in the primary school text, a family play, the parent gave the child a raincoat, and the child covered the raincoat on the flowers and plants.

As far as I'm concerned, I definitely wouldn't ask someone to borrow an umbrella for the balloon like a little boy. Perhaps it is because of this little boy's action that the red balloon is no longer an ordinary balloon, making it "magic".

A child's love is so undifferentiated and so pure and impure. I hope that when we grow up, we will have a child-like perspective on everything in life.

Finally, a word from Teacher Wang Xiaobo: I often go back to my childhood and think about problems with a childlike innocence, and many troublesome problems become easy to solve.
