Siblings Su Xiaoxing and Su Dafu are a pair of lucky stars. We have no worries about food and clothing, the hall is full of snacks, and toys are scattered all over the tables, stools and walls.
However, the two children in Fuwo are eager to play, tired of learning, greedy for eating and playing, addicted to screens, do not know how to cherish blessings, and take a stable life for granted. My parents were busy at work and unable to discipline them. My grandfather knew that the blessings of youth needed to be tempered and the childlike innocence needed to be nourished. He specially took the two siblings back to their old house in the countryside of Liaonan in southern Henan to spend the summer vacation. He planned to cultivate himself through poetry and calligraphy, establish rules and regulations, and protect his eyesight to cultivate habits and slowly correct his squeamishness and inertia.
In a midsummer sleepwalk, a dim mirror of time appears in the palm of your hand, gently breaking through the barriers of time, transporting the pampered modern little lucky star to the old days of poverty and hardship decades ago.
On one side is the prosperous childhood with air-conditioned sweets and carefree food; on the other side are the difficult years of hard work, poor food and simple food.
Two children who are ignorant of the sufferings of the world witnessed firsthand the poverty caused by the locust plague, years of hard work, and hard-earned food and clothing. In the strong contrast between the old and new times, and in the layers of fireworks and wind and frost, Su Xiaoxing lost her impetuous nature and learned to be diligent and polite; Su Dafu gave up dependence on screens, slowly took care of his eyes, and grew up steadily.
A sleepwalking journey through the heart of a child, a journey of suffering for the rest of my life.
The two-star child who used to squander his blessings finally understood: the real little lucky star is never born with blessings, but knows how to cherish, cultivate and keep blessings.
This is a healing and inspirational cross-generational growth practice. A pair of little lucky stars will grow into the best version of themselves in looking back over the years.
Purpose: This book takes the summer vacation transformation of the modern and charming siblings Su Xiaoxing and Su Dafu as the main line. Through a sleepwalk across generations, it completes the growth education of contemporary children to know, cherish, cultivate and keep blessings.
Based on the prosperous and prosperous environment, compared with the poor and hard years of the last century, through the two-way contrast of childhood, the comparison of old and new life, and the dialectical practice of blessings, the core theme is revealed:
Blessing is not something you are born with, but how to cherish it; happiness is not something you take for granted, but is earned through hard work from generation to generation.
The work breaks the inertial perception that "children are born with good fortune and enjoy comfort" and conveys three positive views:
1. A prosperous environment is the easiest way to breed inertia, and hard times are the best way to temper one's true nature.
2. The greatest blessing for a young man is not having enough food and clothing, but self-discipline, gratitude, diligence and contentment.
3. Today's children need to get out of the pampering greenhouse, see where the times have come from, understand the hardships of their parents, and respect the fireworks life.
The final destination: The real little lucky star is not a child protected by blessing, but a child who knows how to cherish blessing, create blessing, and inherit blessing.
