When we grow up, we forget our childhood

Literary fan's fantasy fairy tale works. Watching the movie requires some patience: there is no battle between good and evil, and no prince meets princess. Just a sensitive boy encountering various typical human characters in animal costumes.
To be honest, from the beginning to the end of the movie, I didn't have a good impression of the little boy - not at all. But there are many small emotions that seem familiar. Why is there a generation gap? In addition to the changes of the times, and because we grew up, we have forgotten many small emotions, small tempers, small loneliness and small panic when we were young.
"I regard her as my best friend, how can she be so good with others?"
"They all say it's good, but I don't."
"Why has no one listened to me seriously."
"Everyone thinks that I'm cool."
"...I really hope that when he mentions me to others, he will praise me." I
believe we all had one or two of the above thoughts when we were young.
I remember that Xi Bao, written by Yi Shu, once said that if three wishes can be fulfilled, the first one is to have a lot of love. So do children. The care of parents and the friendship of friends must all surround themselves. Build your own castle. For those who don't like it, if they dare to step into the castle, they will "dig out their brains". However, gradually, children will grow up and understand that the world does not belong to them alone, and that others have the same rights.
