Gotta Go the Healing Route

Childish and beautiful fantasies are deeply loved by children, but fantasies are worthless if they are completely divorced from reality and have no practical significance.The audience of fairy tales is definitely not limited to children, even adults can derive the value they need from them.

Compared with the completely illusory imagination, Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" stands out among the crowd of fairy tale works submitted, which shocked the editor-in-chief.

"This fairy tale can be divided into two dimensions. The dimension of children and the dimension of adults. These two dimensions cleverly arrange beautiful fantasy and realistic meaning."

When children read this story, they will be attracted by the beautiful fantasy of the little girl and envied.But if adults read it, they will deeply feel the darkness of the society depicted in the story.

"It's really..."

The editor-in-chief of Akadori is named Zhu Hong, and she is a well-known figure in the children's literature circle in Kana.

For a moment, Zhu Hong didn't know what words to use to describe this work.

In fact, anyone with certain literary attainments will know the value and significance of this work.

It is definitely a huge breakthrough for fairy tale works that are deeply influenced by childlike innocence at this stage.

"This article must be published in the first article of this issue of Chidori."

Zhu Hong immediately made a decision.

But when the sample draft was sent to the president for approval, it was directly rejected.

The reason is also very simple:

"Although it can be seen that this work is an excellent work, the core of thought in it is too heavy."

"The main audience of our magazine is children aged eight to 12. The education of the text should guide them in the direction of truth, goodness and beauty, not such lies that wrap darkness and despair into a beautiful and bright appearance."

Obviously, the president is a fan of childlike innocence.

However, what the president said was not unreasonable.

The Shennai Kingdom in this time and space has been more influenced by the Chinese culture, and has always adhered to the concept of "human beings are originally good" in the concept of education.The reason why childlike innocence can continue to the present is not without its influence.

"Truth, goodness and beauty are the core principles of the works published in our magazine. Our goal is to let children have a good vision for the future at least at this stage."

"No, President. The meaning of this fairy tale is more than that. It is an opportunity for children's literature to develop and move forward again. Don't you understand?"

Red Bird Publishing House, in the president's office, Zhu Hong excitedly patted the president's desk.

"Children's literature is also literature, and literature must also make breakthroughs in order to develop. The important literary awards in today's international society, such as the Mao Dun Literature Award and the Nobel Prize in Literature, are the winners who have made development and breakthrough contributions to the field of today's literature? "

"Wait, Zhu Hong-jun, you are too excited."

The editor-in-chief, who is usually elegant and easy-going, was so emotional that the president was shocked.

He hurriedly got up to appease Zhu Hong, who was both the editor-in-chief of his own magazine and his friend for many years.

"You do not know what I mean."

"We are all people in this circle, so we naturally know whether this work is good or bad. However, before that, we were a publication for children."

"Think about it, what impact will it have if this kind of story is published by our magazine? Isn't this smashing our own brand?"

Although it is an old-fashioned publication that has been established for a long time, and even this publishing house has been passed down for several generations, the pressure brought by the back waves is also huge.

"The children's publication "Boys and Girls" launched by Dongxia Publishing House, and "Silver Horse" launched by Jianhe Publishing House, these magazines that are relied on by big publishing houses are our strong competitors. If one is not good, we will be cornered Overtaking. I have to be more cautious."

"I...."

Zhu Hong blushed.As the helm of the publishing house, it is natural to think more, and he also knows this truth.But Zhu Hong's stubborn temper just came up.The dispute over the ideas of literati has been very terrifying since ancient times.And Zhu Hong also thinks that this is the ideological dispute between herself and childlike innocence.

"I don't care, "Red Bird" magazine must publish this fairy tale."

"You stubborn cow, you still can't tell you why you are reasonable, right?"

"If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

"Of course it's me!" Zhu Hong said firmly.

................................

Kazama Xi didn't know what kind of disputes arose before he copied Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales on a whim and published them in the old children's literature magazine "Red Bird".

On the third day, when the latest issue of "Red Bird" was released, he also received a stack of manuscript fees in an envelope and a copy of the latest issue of "Red Bird".

Compared to the fact that he was able to obtain the first batch of printed Red Bird magazine from the publishing house immediately, it would take another half a day for others to get this magazine.

Wakako Terashima is a columnist for the autumn and winter magazine and a young mother.

Her only daughter has just turned six years old this year, and Wakako Terashima, who is already a top student and graduated from a prestigious university, naturally has her own set of parenting books.

For example, when my daughter was still a fetus, she listened to prenatal music, and when she was a little older, she began to teach her to recognize some common words.At this age, it is through telling fairy tales to the daughter to complete the enlightenment of the daughter.

As the saying goes, fairy tales are the spiritual milk that nourishes children's souls, the enlightenment of children's hopes and ideals, and a good medicine for children's lives.

Wakako Terashima strongly agrees with this point of view.

Even though fairy tales are boring, childish and illogical stories for adults, Wakako Terashima will still take the trouble to tell these childish stories to her daughter every night.

In the evening, following the opportunity of grocery shopping, Wakako Terashima bought the latest issue of Chidori in the bookstore.

As a veteran children's literature magazine, even Wakako Terashima herself grew up reading this Chidori magazine.

At night, put her daughter to bed.Wakako Terashima sat in front of her daughter's bed, took out the red bird she bought during the day, and prepared to tell her a bedtime story every night.

Opening the title page of Akadori Magazine, Wakako Terashima directly skipped the table of contents and found the first story.

There are unspoken rules in Kanna country magazines, and the first article of the magazine is often the most essential and high-quality work of the entire magazine.

The title of the opening article of this issue is "The Little Match Girl".

"Honey, the story I'm going to tell tonight is called The Little Match Girl."

"The author is a teacher named Kazama Xi."

Terashima Wakako saw the author's name under the title of the work.

"The gentle evening breeze in the golden sunset."

"This teacher's name is very warm, I believe this story is also very warm."

Wakako Terashima said to her girl with a smile, and then she recited the story in a soft tone.

PS: Wenchao's fairy tales may seem overwhelming in this comic-based novel, but I really think that many fairy tales are very satisfying the two themes of "healing" and "depression".

For example, my favorite "The Daughter of the Sea" when I was a child, now that I think about it, isn't this a large-scale warning work of "Licking a dog will not kill you"? ╮(╯_╰)╭

Chapter No.17 I want to spray this author!

"It was dark and cold, and it was snowing. There were not many people on the street, because today was the New Year's Eve, and every family was staying in the warm house, sitting around the fire, enjoying a big New Year's Eve dinner. But in this On a deserted street, a barefoot little girl was walking hobbled on the street."

"The original shoes have been snatched by a group of urchins, and the task of selling matches entrusted to her by her father has not been completed, so she dare not go home."

At the beginning of the story, a scene is described, and the image of a poor girl is outlined with a few strokes.

Hearing Wakashima Terako read this, Wakashima Terako's daughter, Jinki Terashima, who is only six years old, couldn't help but said in a childish voice:

"What a poor little girl..."

Wakashima Terako who read this is also a little surprised at the beginning of this story, the atmosphere is too miserable.But when she heard her daughter's words, she still smiled and relieved:

"The girl is very pitiful, but there must be kind people behind to help her."

"Just like the princess who was captured by the devil, there will be a prince to rescue her in the end, right?"

Seeing her daughter's expectant look, Terashima Wakako nodded gently, reached out and stroked her daughter's soft hair, and said with certainty: "That's right."

With that said, Terashima Wakako continued reading.

"The girl was too cold, so she took out the match in her arms and lit it."

The first match made the girl see the warm fireplace.

The second match made the girl see a table full of delicious food.

The third match made the girl see the Christmas tree.

The fourth match girl saw her grandma who had gone to heaven.

Unknowingly, Wakako Terashima's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the same time became lighter and lighter until she could no longer hear it.

Seeing the mother who suddenly closed her mouth and her face was very serious, Jinki Terashima, who has been immersed in this fairy tale, couldn't help but urge:

"Mom, what's the story behind? The girl met her grandma, what happened next?"

But the urging words didn't seem to reach Terashima Wakako's ears, Terashima Wakako stared at the Red Bird magazine in her hand, as if she had devoted herself to it for a while.

It wasn't until Terashima Jinki stretched out his hand from under the quilt and pushed Terashima Wakako's arm that Terashima Wakako reacted.

"What's the matter? Baby." Terashima Wakako forced a smile.

"Mom, what's the matter? Is this story over? What happened to the little girl?"

"This..." Wakako Terashima shook her head, then closed the Akadori magazine in her hand.

"The little girl met her grandma, and she went to heaven to become an angel because of her good deeds. On New Year's Eve, the angel grandma came down to visit her granddaughter."

"Grandma waved her hand, and the stove and the Christmas tree in the match light became real."

"Accompanied by grandma, the girl spent a New Year's Eve happily."

"That's how it is.... This story is great..." Hearing Terashima Wakako tell the ending of the story like this, Terashima Jinki showed a satisfied smile.

"Much more interesting than those fairy tales about saving the princess!!"

"As long as you like it, baby."

Wakako Terashima narrowed her eyes and said.

"It's late at night, you should be sleeping too. Maybe there will be an angel in your dream who will fulfill your wish."

Turn off the chandelier in her daughter's room, leaving only a small table lamp, and close the door. When she came to the living room, Terashima Wakako's expression immediately became gloomy.

She threw the Red Bird magazine on the coffee table viciously.

Daizo Terashima, the male owner of the Terashima family saw his gentle and virtuous wife suddenly look like this, and he couldn't help frowning when he was happily watching the entertainment program.

"What's the matter? Ruozi, where did our daughter make you angry?"

Terashima Wakako shook her head.

"What's that?"

"Honey, look at this magazine!"
