Reader comments

Just like I sometimes feel guilty and uneasy about making mistakes. However, I was relieved to see him finally surrender. I think this book made me understand that in the face of difficulties and mistakes, we must face them bravely and not escape. Just like my friend who broke his mother's favorite cup last time, he was scared at first, but in the end he bravely admitted his mistake. This made him feel much more relaxed!
