At this moment

When I was reading the original novel, I was still sitting in the red building of hsy, in the tall and empty classroom, only a dozen people were studying at night, and the old wooden floor creaked intermittently. Winter without heating is hard to endure, so I shrank and pressed the book with a pencil case. I hid my left hand under my armpit, leaving only my right hand to turn the pages of the book outside, looking at this fairy tale for adults. . At that time, it should be for learning English. For example, I remembered that slippers are called slipper. It seemed that it was the first time I met the protagonist in a story book who was such an annoying guy.

I went to the IMAX near the school to watch the film last week. Sitting among a bunch of children and family portraits, the air was filled with the sweet smell of popcorn, but the heavy accent in the film made me not to relax for a moment, not to mention flying away. I was dizzy at the time. After reading it, I feel that the plot has been abridged compared to the original book, and the details are not clear. When I grow up, the story has shrunk, which is a pity, but the adaptation of novels into movies is mostly the case. However, when watching a movie, there is indeed a feeling that I have never had before, and the coldness makes people feel so excited. I suddenly remembered when I was drowsy on the bus going home.

It is a sentence said by the protagonist’s fiancée, to the effect that you will become what you are now because you are too afraid of the world.

Even if the original book contains this sentence, I am afraid that I would have passed it in a hurry. I am lucky to come here from the Red Mansion. I have had a colorful experience without much hardship, and the love of my family and friends without the painful betrayal. After all, looking all the way, I can see that other people are slowly bent over by life, and the look on their faces gradually becomes cold. The world is so big, and we are so small, we cannot expect salvation.

However, I still hope to keep a soft heart, not to be afraid, not like a snail with a heavy shell on its back for protection, continue to work hard and walk forward with a smile. We can't see the elves, but living a good life may bring a little light of hope to the people around us.
