I have seen both the book and the movie, and the movie is also very restored, so I want to talk about this book below~

When I first read "Secret Garden", I was only amazed at the innocence of children and the beauty of nature, and scenes of harmony and joy between children and nature often appeared. When I think about it after quiet, I can understand the gentleness and vitality contained in this book written by the American female writer Frances Hodgson Burnett. Each character in the book, such as Mary, Colin, Dickon, Mr. Craven... has a process of self-transformation or growth. Mary, who has been pampered and neglected in India since childhood, is undoubtedly a stubborn and eccentric girl. After being sent to a remote manor in England due to the loss of his parents, he can slowly remove his hostility and treat his servants as equals. Being happy as a friend, he will help his friend Colin very naturally, and integrate into everyone in his own way... Colin, the young master in the manor, was rejected by his father since he was a child and lacked the due diligence. Taking care of and frail. He believes that he is a cursed child, that he has a tumor on his body, that he will die sooner or later, and that he will not live to grow up. But in the end he was able to firm up his hope of living and to influence others. Dickon seems to be the real son of nature. All the animals believed in him, did not hide their nests, and could read his language; whenever his wooden flute sounded, there were always small animals sitting around him. All flowers are willing to bloom for him, without concealing their beauty; as Dickon said, "Sometimes I think I may be a bird, or a fox, a rabbit, a sparrow, or even a beetle, and I don't know it myself. "He treated the garden and friends in the same way, and gained more friends. Their transformation comes from the magic of the secret garden, which stems from the beauty of nature and ends with the beautiful heart of human beings. The reason why the garden is mysterious is that Mr. Craven has become depressed by the unexpected death of his wife, and has sealed off the garden that was once Mrs. Craven's favorite, and the mottled key is unknown. Not wanting to see his son Colin, who looks similar to his deceased wife, he also wanders outside all day. However, when Mary found the key to the garden under the guidance of the traveling thrush, the garden, which had been closed for ten years, came back to life. In our hearts, we all have such a garden, which may not have been discovered by you, or may have been abandoned by you for a long time. But what if you found it and repaired it? When you push open the garden door, you can't see anything, then you go down some stone steps, and when you go to the end, you will be surrounded by flowers, there are roses in bloom, cornflowers, saffron, poppies, wind Xinzi... She is noisy in the garden, the water is gurgling, the birds are chirping and the buds are sprouting everywhere. Among them, you have a good smell of vanilla, fresh air, sunshine, and the chirping of birds. The apple trees and orange pear trees there are also fixed as Mrs. Craven likes, pointing to the blue sky... This is the kind of garden that was born from the hands of three children, who planted various stems and uprooted them. Weeds everywhere, pruning dead branches and leaves... It was also during this process that Colin learned to stand and walk, from only knowing how to cry to how to smile; Mary also changed from only knowing how to be angry to learning how to cry. They are growing like a garden, gentle but powerful. As Tagore said in his poem "Life Like Summer Flowers": "Man is a newborn child, and his strength is the strength of growth." We can also approach life with the attitude of running a garden, just like them. Facing each morning with a new mentality, let us automatically untie the ropes that bind ourselves, walk out of the room where we live all day, and integrate into nature. Go for a walk in the forest, go to relax, run for a run. This allows us to feel the power of life and to live with hope. As mentioned in the book: "Sometimes, the deep blue night sky is silent, and thousands of stars are waiting and watching, which will also make you sure that you will live forever." Whether it is a forest garden or the night sky, It's all part of our nature, all beings that give us hope. In fact, the scene of children getting along with small animals is the warmest picture in the world. They are the most vivid representation of the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. For them, there is no conflict of interests and no estrangement of fear. Some of them are only the sunshine that accompanies each other, the joy of embracing and laughing, which makes us teary-eyed. However, what is worth our tears now has another side. When we see the animals in the sea that have been polluted and harmed by our humans, when we see the remains of animals that have been killed because of profit, and when we see the ecological environment that has been burned and destroyed by reclamation, how can our hearts not flow? tears? From the film and television work "The Valley of the Wind" to the book "Wolf Totem", in fact, our call to protect nature has always been there. In addition to seeking warmth in the embrace of nature, we must also take our responsibility to protect the small animals around us, not to consume for behavior that harms animals, and to respect every flower and tree. Only in this way can we be worthy of all the gifts that nature has given us. At the end of the book, the enthusiastic children finally infected Mr. Craven, which made him let go of his inner obsession. When they walked happily out of a deep green forest holding hands, I felt man and nature. A kind of perfection. Frances painted the blueprint of such a beautiful garden for us, and Mary they built it, all we have to do is to find our own garden, feel the power she brings, and give everything we can. can protect her. May we end up in the garden, summoning our beloved friends, and collecting incomprehensible happiness! ???
