A sweet childhood is hidden here

When I was a child, I often dreamed of having such a cute and obedient baby: it is very dazzling, it can become a dazzling ray of red in the dim yellow; it is very clever, can fly, jump, and hide; it is very dazzling. Obedient, you can accompany me to school, accompany me to school... In short, it made me stand out in front of my friends and satisfied the expanding vanity unique to 7- and 8-year-old boys. Even when I was punished, it could help me, stalk the teacher step by step, and obtain forgiveness with a soft childlike innocence.

So, it became my world, and even the beautiful little girl I met at random and her equally beautiful baby couldn't divert my eyes, as if the deliberately created intersection would be ignored, jumping over the intersection, without looking at it. Reply: I already have the whole world and I have nothing else to ask for.

It's sensible, but it's also naughty. When I am by my side, it will hide the cat with me naughty; and when I deliberately leave its field of vision, it will look around and anxiously look for me; when it is bullied, it will subconsciously hug me seek asylum around. This feeling is very much like a small pet that was raised when I was a child. This may be the first lesson in life for young men: to be depended on.

Finally one day, this little pet will be taken away and destroyed because of the jealousy of the little friend. At this time, I, who just established my self-reliance consciousness, will do my best to defend my little universe and fight for it. In the end, the weak lose to the strong, and face the wreckage of the beloved treasure. At that time, I would think in my heart that I seem to have lost the whole world. And this, perhaps the second lesson in life that little men need to learn, is lost.

This kind of loss is an indispensable milestone in the growth process, and it taught me to cherish. After that, even if you have more beautiful balloons, even if you are taken by the fairies and fly into the sky, the naughty and sensible red balloon that used to be no longer exists. The wreckage lying on the ground reminds me that possession is fleeting and loss is eternal.

From the red glowing balloon, you can easily retrieve your beautiful childhood, and this kind of beauty will forever be the past. Even from my own children, I can't get back the narrow alley and the pure innocence at that time. Not to mention, the grey walls, black tiles and stone alleys are gone forever, aren't they?

To cherish this film is to cherish the precious childhood and the steps of growth.
