Can we still hear Christmas bells?

At Christmas, I watched a movie, "The Polar Express," and read a book, "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree."

When I watched the movie "The Polar Express", it always made people laugh at the end: Dad picked up the little bell that Santa Claus gave, shook it, and there was no sound. However, when the two children picked up the small bell and shook it, they heard the crisp and pleasant sound of "Ding Lingling"! However, after laughing, I feel regret: when we grow up, can we really hear the Christmas bell? Have you really lost the joy of childhood? This movie gives us a chance to return to our childhood.

I remembered the end of "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree", the little sweet orange tree that once gave the little protagonist Zeze infinite surprises and tenderness, could talk and listen to his troubles, the first flower bloomed. After the little white flower, it turned into an ordinary little tree with thorns all over its body-every time I read this, I always shed tears for the tender and joyful childhood I once had. Zeze is only 5 years old, and he has become an "adult" who can't hear Christmas bells like us, and can't understand Xiaoshu's whisper. So sometimes I think, like Peter Pan, never grow up, always listen to the Christmas bells, always whisper to the little tree, how wonderful it would be!

Merry Christmas to everyone! May you all have a pair of ears that can hear the Christmas bells!

The Polar Express quotes

  • [repeated line]

    The Boy: I believe.

  • Hobo: What exactly is... is your persuasion on the Big Man, since you brought him up?

    The Boy: Well, I... I want to believe... but...

    Hobo: But you don't want to be bamboozled. You don't want to be led down the primrose path! You don't want to be conned or duped. Have the wool pulled over your eyes. Hoodwinked! You don't want to be taken for a ride. Railroaded!

    [Hobo puts out fire with the joe]

    Hobo: Seeing is believing. Am I right?
