After recently reading "Carrot Beard" by French writer Renard, I had the same emotion as Xu Song. In May 2012, Xu Song released the single "Carrot Beard" from his new album, which describes the protagonist in a slightly darker and purely rational way. He was born in an environment where his mother was always scolding and his brothers and sisters were sarcastic. From the beginning, he was indifferent and entertained himself, but later he realized the bleakness of his life and resisted all ridicule and teasing. I found myself step by step, and finally fought against everything that was wrong.
Book reviewers say that after reading "Carrot Beards", you will have a complete childhood! What Carrotbeard does every day is exactly the same as what each of us did in childhood. He can play with ants all day long, he can play wildly outside after class, he can deal with some field partridges without hesitation, or he can have his own "castle"...
In a section of Carrot Beard In this story, I see myself. Those frolicking on the way home from school, going out early and coming back late on weekends to sneak into the house for fear of being scolded, making appointments with a few friends to wander around, and shrinking back because they were afraid of getting lost, putting away their toys and comics In the same place, he snatched lockers one after another from his brother...
In the first half of the book, Carrotbeard endured or rejected the sarcasm and oppression around him with his unique indifference. , resentment from the closest family members. He doesn't want to realize some truth, and feels that the world has nothing to do with me, even if everyone thinks of me. He has all the innocence he should have, the innocence he should have, the naivety he should have. Even if he makes a mistake, even if it is not caused by him, he is still worried, just because of his mother's slap and ridicule. All he got in exchange was even greater ridicule from his brothers and sisters.
Carrotbeard's life is gray, but he has a stronger heart. In front of his "intimate partner" - the old godfather, he was still willing to express his clearest inner voice. Pure, all he asked for was pure freedom, just like the godfather he looked up to. So, this seed was sprinkled into his little heart.
Finally, that day has arrived. Carrotwhisker is finally no longer a resigned child, nor a child who knows nothing about mistakes and self-respect. He began to pay attention to the treatment he had received. He began to think of his experiences over the years, and he began to resist all contempt and ridicule.
We have all experienced this kind of life, from being a naive child to caring about everything, especially our own hearts. As Carrotwhisker said: "Undoubtedly, other people also have other people's sufferings. But I will pity them tomorrow, and today I will demand justice for myself. Whose fate is not better than mine? I only have one mother, but this mother doesn't like me. I don’t like her either?” At this time, he was no longer the same person, and for him, the emergence of self-esteem was naturally an important step in his life.
Each of us is pursuing our original self, and everyone wants to be better, but who can forget the self who didn’t understand anything at the beginning? We have all experienced and been tested, and the understanding of the past has made us who we are today. This means that each of us, who is not a carrot beard?
