Surprise

When I was a kid, I didn’t know much about Japanese anime. By chance, I watched "Spirited Away" on the computer with my family. The first feeling was a bit scary. Later, when I recalled it carefully, I found that it was really good anime. .

This movie is very interesting. A child and a pair of parents strayed into a mysterious passage due to a move and found an uninhabited incredible town. The disturbed child wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the helpless and gluttonous parents were in a full house. Piaoxiang's restaurant couldn't move away and started stealing food. The child only wandered around, and was surprised to see a large group of elves and ghosts on the way, but when he wanted to inform his parents, they found that they had become a pair of big fat pigs...

From good to den, from evil to collapse. It is as difficult as climbing a mountain for a person to be an ethical and educated person, and it is as easy for a person to fall into an inferior slab if he is uncontrollable, as easy as a rock rolls down. In the movie, it takes a blink of an eye to change from a human to a pig, but it is very difficult to turn a pig into a human again. This ten-year-old weak girl will not only save her life from now on, but also transform her parents from pigs to humans again. I was pleasantly surprised by this childlike and profound opening.

This little girl named Chihiro has experienced an ups and downs of adventure. During her wonderful adventure, she, a child who has never changed, experienced all the hardships and tribulations of life. She also gained many virtues, temperance, courage, tolerance, persistence and gratitude to overcome the difficulties of life through these hardships. In the end, he not only saved himself but also changed his parents from pigs to humans again. We, both children and adults, have also experienced in Qianxun's staggering footsteps: how a person should learn to control himself when faced with temptation, and how a person should learn to persevere in the face of distress.

Thank you Hayao Miyazaki and the classmate Chihiro who was shaped by him for letting me know how difficult it is to become a human being from a pig, so that I can always remember Bacon’s famous saying: Be restrained in good times, and be persevering in times of adversity. It was also the beginning of changing my prejudice against Japanese animation.
