Why Bronze Sunflower is defined as children s literature

Then if you look at the required reading for junior high school students and the required reading for high school students, you will find that in comparison, bronze sunflowers can only be ranked in elementary school.

Some fairy tales are written for both children and adults, such as "The Last Elf" and "The Little Prince".

Not pure children**. Personally, I think.

。Understanding the scope is not a problem at all.

I've been reading it for several years, and I just graduated from elementary school this year.

It seems to be the fourth grade of elementary school, and it is easy to understand.

Well, I'll admit I didn't read it.

2. Character introduction:

1. Bronze. A boy born into the poorest family in the countryside, living only by selling reed shoes, became a mute because he was sick and had no money for medical treatment. It is conceivable that Bronze is a child with an extremely poor material life, but such a child is still kind and full of yearning for life in the face of suffering.

Bronze, who worked hard to grow up in such a difficult environment, chose to give up when he was in school, and was extremely focused when Sunflower taught him to learn.

2. Sunflowers. An authentic city girl, but because of the "Cultural Revolution", she followed her father to a strange barley field and lived the life of a rural child. It is conceivable that she was helpless and uncomfortable at that time.

To add insult to injury: Sunflower, from a girl living happily in the arms of her parents, becomes a helpless orphan who is adopted by another family. She doesn't know how to do farm work, but she does it seriously; She is not used to eating wild vegetables and brown rice, but she never complains; She couldn't tell the difference between grass and wheat, but she still learned to herd cattle.

In the face of difficult things one by one, Sunflower worked hard to adapt and learn little by little.

3. Grandma. Although the Bronze family was the poorest in the barley field, Grandma always had a clean face, neat clothes, her silver hair was meticulously combed, and her clothes were spotless. When the house was destroyed by the flood and she was in urgent need of money to rebuild her home, her grandmother sold her dowry and borrowed money from everywhere, but her grandmother never changed her backbone and self-esteem.

Although my grandmother lived a very poor life, she never bowed to poverty.

In the rural areas of Jiangnan Water Township during the "Wuqi Cadre School" period, the urban girl Sunflower lost her father because of an accident in Fuyu, and was adopted by the boy's bronze family and became his sister.

The clever and kind-hearted mute bronze, because this little sister suddenly appeared, realized his responsibility as a little man: the family could only provide for one person to go to school, and he gave the opportunity to Sunflower; In order for Sunflower to take pictures, he braved the wind and snow to stand on the street to sell reed shoes; And the sensible sunflower does not tie a new head rope and does not take pictures, so she saves money to buy paper and pen to teach bronze literacy.

The family didn't have the money to buy an oil lamp, so Bronze made a firefly lamp for sunflowers; There was nothing to eat in the year of the disaster. He found a way to dig reed roots and catch wild ducks to satisfy sunflowers; To make the sunflowers more dazzling on stage, he made an ice necklace that emitted a beautiful, pure, mysterious and luxurious glow.

Fires, floods, locust plagues, and all kinds of hardships followed, but the family helped each other and calmly survived one difficulty after another. In the years full of natural and man-made disasters, they lived optimistically, calmly coping with all kinds of hardships such as floods and locust plagues, and at the age of 12, fate called the girl back to her city.

The father of the city girl Sunflower drowned because of the intention of Qin Mo Zhengwai, and the poor bronze family still adopted him, but the family's money was only enough for one person to go to school, and Bronze gave the opportunity to Sunflower, and braved the wind and snow to sell Luhua shoes, earning money to give Sunflower photos, but Sunflower saved money to buy paper and pencils and teach Bronze to read. When Sunflower was about to perform on stage, Bronze gave her an ice necklace of her own making. In order to live in a thatched rented house, Bronze and Dad cut thatch in the sun.

When my grandmother was sick, she said it was okay and didn't want her family to worry. When Sunflower returns to the city, the dumb bronze can actually shout out Sunflower.

Sunflower, who has no mother since she was a child, followed her father to the barley field, and later her father fell into the water and died, and she became a helpless orphan. He became a relative of the Bronze family (the bronze band in the book is a mute who has suffered from discrimination from others). The bronze family was very poor, so in order to let Sunflower go to school, he sold the reed shoes made for him by his mother, and walked home from the snow barefoot, and his feet were red from the cold.

Sunflower went to school, but because her family was poor, she couldn't light the lamp, so she could only go to her friend's house to borrow light, and was snubbed by her friend; Sunflower became the host, there was no necklace, bronze made an ice necklace for sunflowers, and used a reed rod to blow ice cubes, and the cheeks were numb; In the year of the natural disaster, Bronze took sunflowers to dig tender and sweet reed roots and catch wild ducks, but he was reluctant to eat a bite; In order to make her grandmother have money to see a doctor, Sunflower went alone to pick up ginkgo biloba and sell it for money ......Poverty, man-made disasters, natural disasters, and suffering are like an open net that always covers the family.

Main content: Sunflower's father died in an accident while sketching, and Sunflower became an orphan, painful and desolate.

Theme idea: Bronze and Sunflower is an allegory about growth, symbolizing the two sides that accompany each other in the process of growth: happiness and sufferingThe beautiful scenery of the barley field, the vast fields, the livestock and animals of the farmer, and the care of the family, accompany them to grow up happily and the suffering is also accompanied by them, both of them suffer great misfortunes in life, bronze becomes mute, Sunflower loses his parents, and both are lonely.

Not only that, but they also suffered poverty, floods and locust plagues. So that the poor bronze and sunflower can only go to school alone, and the sunflower has no necklace and no light to do homework at night; The floods washed away their only shelter and left them homeless; The locust plague destroyed the crops on which they depended, and they had to endure hunger.

Optimism, love and tenacity are the best salvation for suffering, the sunflower of the sun and the cold bronze meet, all the suffering is solved, the bronze gives up the opportunity to go to school and let the sunflower go to school, sells reed shoes in the snow to save money for the sunflower to take pictures, makes an ice necklace to help the sunflower perform the show, catches fireflies and writes homework for the sunflower lighting; And Sunflower is industrious, intelligent, empathetic, and brings warmth to the family, so is life, and the land of Dabari gives the people of Dabari a picturesque idyllic scenery, and also brings them countless disasters.

They are poor and hungry, or they have lost their loved ones, or they have suffered from disease, or they have become destitute, but they still survive optimistically and tenaciously through hardships, even if there is no money to go to school, no house to live in, no money to heal the sick, Bronze's grandmother always looks at Bronze and Sunflowers lovingly, Bronze's parents are always diligent in farming, and Bronze's family is always laughing.

In Cao Wenxuan's view, no matter how the times change, suffering is inevitable and necessary in life, because people grow up in suffering, existence is happiness and hardship, enjoy happiness when you are happy, and meet suffering with optimism and care and tenacity when you are suffering, and the heart and spirit are sublimated and become more beautiful and powerful, just as the dumb bronze finally called out "sunflower", and sunflower returned to the city.
