Love shows that its feelings for me are contradictory: "Be close to me, but dare not trust me completely". Someone keeps it, so it loves people; Someone injured its left wing and made it lose the freedom to fly, so it was suspicious of people. Its behavior and expression are very wronged: "jump, stop, look at me, dare not come over." "It has no confidence in itself and people, but it has not completely lost hope. It still wants to save itself and survive by people." It looks at me "is just a fashion, and I can't tell whether I am the one who hurts it or the one who can rely on it." The second time I wrote eyes, I wrote in vain. Sparrows are unlucky. "It was in the cat's mouth, leaving only a tail and a small paw exposed. "Those two eyes that predict the danger of life are" always open "in my heart. "This little creature, hurt again and again, still loves his own life and strongly hopes to live even in innocent suffering. After experiencing the great danger of "cat's mouth", it survived and came out of the chimney "with its head down and its mouth on the ground, and its two black eyes were darker and bigger than before, as if it were not looking at anything, just staring at the ground with its black top". This is the third time to write eyes, which not only means that the sparrow is frightened and shows a sad expression, but also means that it is looking down. It never begged, but waited, "waiting for life or death" and "the emotion of life and death is revealed in these eyes". Although he has no power to resist, he is not ready to resist. However, he dared to "stay still" in front of the cat. It was that little hope that gave him courage. This move is not stupid, but tragic and great. This is a hard life, a struggle for death. Death and afterlife are inevitable in contingency. " I lifted it with both hands ",and it" gave me a look "emotionally. Different from before, this "look" has shortened the emotional distance between it and me. At the end of the article, the sparrow suddenly tilted his head from side to side and turned his eyes to me, "glancing at me." "This glance shows the true face of the little hero after defeating death. The "not beautiful" bird, only at this moment, radiates its unique and beautiful luster! He thanked me and trusted me completely. His body is curled up, and now he "grows some" to cheer up. Naturally, I was a little ashamed, so I "hung my head lower."
However, the little sparrow "understood something" after all. As a weak person who is insulted and hurt, the little sparrow is pitiful enough. It was the fact that he was repeatedly "educated" that made him realize a little truth. This should be viewed from three aspects. Let's look at the relationship between sparrows and their owners: being locked in a cage since childhood and being "spoiled" by their owners has formed a fragile side of their personality; His left wing was "torn by the person who raised it or another child", but it "still depends on people", and those people are "how cruel" and how heartless! Secondly, judging from the relationship between the kitten and the sparrow, although the kitten was born only four months ago, it has not caught the big mouse and learned to kill, but once it finds the sparrow, it is very fierce and hides in the chimney, but the kitten still stares and "explores with its feet." When the sparrow suddenly appeared motionless in front of it, the kitten touched it with her feet and played with it. It is conceivable that once he learned to kill, the scene should be so cold and dark.
Finally, from the relationship between "I" and the little sparrow, the bond of sympathy links "I" with the little sparrow. "I" have been trying to get close to the sparrow, and then I want to feed it with rice grains to prevent the kitten from pouncing on him, but the inevitable danger finally happened. I feel sorry for the misfortune of the little sparrow. In order to save the sparrow, I tried my best to chase the kitten. But "I" didn't fully understand the behavior of the little sparrow. Seeing the bird "squatting on the ground like a person with a bad stomach pain", I blamed him for "how did you get out of the chimney?" Later, although "I" saved the bird with both hands, I had no idea: "Let it go, she must be dead? Keep it, there is no cage at home. " What should I do? You still can't capture anything reliable from the emotional waves. It can be seen that sympathy and pity alone and some assistance alone cannot solve the fundamental problem. Therefore, the little sparrow finally understands only such a philosophy of life: the environment is cold, and only by relying on its own strength can it survive.
Although the article focuses on the sparrow, the author wants to tell readers more than that. There is another sentence at the end: "I hold it as if all the life in the world were in my hands." I have a sense of justice from sympathy and a sense of responsibility for the times from saving sparrows. This world is so unfair, the weak are bullied, the innocent suffer, and people like "Little Sparrow" don't know how many. How can I and everyone save them? This implication is for readers to imagine, but in another article by Mr. Lao She, we can find a clear question and answer. 1934 From March to August, the author wrote The Biography of Niu Tianxi. Shortly after summing up the creative experience of this part of the works, the author talked about such an idea: "There are definitely oppressed people in Qian Qian, and each of them deserves our intercession and finding a solution for him." Lao She mentioned in the article "Little Sparrow" that the little sparrow was wronged and found a way out. This method was learned by the little sparrow later.
