Preface
Many people's stereotypes of comics are still in the inherent scene of exaggerated, funny and unserious. In fact, many countries use intuitive forms such as "comics" and "picture books" to subtly influence and motivate young people.
The comic to be introduced below belongs to this type: a life-inspiring boy comic adapted from an autobiographical realist novel.
- "Saga's Super Mom"
After reading the introduction of this manga, I will explain why a manga is used to answer this question.
manga "Saga's Super Mom"
1987, the 37-year-old outdated funny star Shimada Yoshika created the autobiographical novel "Saga's Super Mom", which tells his youth. In 2006, while this novel was adapted into a movie, the cartoonist Saburo Ishikawa also adapted the novel into a manga.
This work tells the story of a 6-year-old Shimada being sent to Saga's grandmother's house to live with her grandmother for 8 years in 1956 by her mother on the grounds of reducing life pressure.
Shimada and his mother live in the urban area of Hiroshima, while Saga, more than 200 kilometers away, belongs to the countryside, and there is a great contrast in both the environment and the diet.
At that time, Shimada had an older brother. His mother ran a tavern in the city and came back very late. She had no time to take care of Shimada. On the one hand, her mother also believed that enlightenment was very important when she was young. In order to make Shimada have a very correct and upward will in the teenager, her mother found him a free tutoring class teacher - his mother and Shimada's grandmother. The protagonist of the work
is Akihiro, but he is actually Shimada himself.
When Akihiro first arrived in Saga countryside, he was a vain and lying lie. How did he accept his poor status under the guidance of his grandmother and slowly become a real, down-to-earth and sunny good child?
and listen to the story.
abandoned
1956, Japan's younger brother Akihiro and older brother Yoshinoza lived with their mother. The father died early due to illness. His mother worked in a tavern and went home very late.
6-year-old Zhaoguang is still in a clingy stage and cannot do without adults. He pestered his mother and caused great trouble to his mother.
Mom believes that Xiao Zhaoguang cannot be without adults, and she cannot accompany Zhaoguang every day. She decided to send him to Saga in the countryside for Zhaoguang's education and growth, and let his mother and Zhaoguang's grandmother raise him.
One day, my mother lied and asked Akihiro to go to the train station to see him off. She ended up stuffing him to the aunt who had been connected in advance and asked her to take him to Saga's grandmother.
Mom cried so hard that she burst into tears. Zhao Guang was on the road and cried for a day. When she arrived at her grandmother's house, she saw that she said, "Yes, it was like a haunted house. A sloppy thatched hut was in her mind. Grandma was cruel and had no nonsense. The first sentence she met was to tell Zhao Guang that she cooked herself tomorrow morning and lived a life of self-sufficiency."
The next morning, my grandmother went out to work early at 4 o'clock. Zhaoguang, who was cooking for the first time, actually ignites the fire and turns off the heat, because my grandmother has put the rice and water in the pot in advance. Although she successfully lit the matches and lit the stove and cooked the rice, she cooked the paste without any suspense.
Looking at his work, Zhao Guang realized that he had caused a big disaster and had thirty-six strategies first.
Zhao Guang, who had been wandering outside for a day, happened to meet his vicious grandmother and was caught by the old man.
Two-person world
Zhaoguang saw a rope tied to his waist and a magnet tied to the other end of the rope. He asked his grandmother what this was. Grandma said that we poor families can use this method to absorb a lot of scrap iron, and these scrap iron can be sold for some money to subsidize the household.
Looking at this magical artifact that made a fortune by making money, Zhao Guang was impressed by his grandmother's wisdom and subconsciously took the initiative to take his grandmother's hand.
But Zhao Guang was too happy. The dinner for the two was the black rice cooked by Zhao Guang in the morning. The vegetables had to be fished in the river. There was a supermarket upstream, and some dishes would be floated down. Whatever they could eat depends on luck.
Grandma and Akihiro explained the meaning of supermarkets. Super means powerful, so Akihiro gave the powerful grandma a nickname, Super Grandma (Grandma), which is also the origin of the name of the memoir - the super (Grandma) who lives in Saga.
Zhao Guang, who went to the primary school on the first day, was very vain and said that his grandmother was his maid and had a mansion at home. He came here just to experience life. While bragging at school, the grandmother, who was a cleaner in college, talked about this grandson with his colleagues. His biggest wish was that he could become an honest person.
, who was satisfied with bragging, Zhao Guang returned to his grandmother's house, facing the fact that he didn't get vegetables in the river, good things were in pairs, and there was no rice today, so he had to be hungry for a day.
When it rained at night, Grandma Saga's old house leaked everywhere. Grandma asked Shohiro to bring various pots, bowls and bottles to collect the rain. The two of them closed their eyes and admired the unique sound of leaking rain in this humble room.
Grandma jokingly said that the sound was like a band, but Xiao Zhaoguang fell asleep while enjoying the "wonderful" music.
Before going to bed, my grandmother changed into her pajamas sewn with various rags, lived in her grandmother's house where she was leaking everywhere and had no meals. She wore this outfit, who looked like a beggar, and felt at the bottom of her mood.
But grandma said that this pajama was unique and customized for Zhaoguang. After grandma's trick, Zhaoguang was really energetic and fell asleep in this tailor-made pajama and was deeply hungry.
The next day, my grandmother brought Zhaoguang, who was hungry, to achieve a great harvest in the river. Because it rained the day before, the water from the upstream surged to the downstream in the morning and rushed to a lot of supermarket dishes.
Grandma's education is Zhaoguang. Poverty is also divided into poverty with negative attitude towards life and poverty with positive attitude towards life. We are the latter type. We don't have to take care of the face. Even if no one hires it, you can fill your stomach with your hands. Our family has been poor for generations and we must inherit it in the future.
With the concept of "family poverty" instilled by my grandmother, Zhao Guang returned to school to confess his current poverty situation to everyone. Since he had nothing, there was no need to waste his brains on things that did not exist. After confessing, he became happy and relaxed.
Since you have nothing, there is nothing to lose. If you spend every day with such a mood, you will earn even a little bit of what you get! Although I don’t want to go to school, the school’s free lunch is not an ordinary temptation. Although the elementary school in 1959 provided lunch, it was just a bowl of light water made from milk powder, hard bread and a plate of side dishes. However, in Zhaoguang, who often had no meal at night or could only eat rice, this was the supreme delicacy.
Because many students don’t like lunch, the teacher will leave enough for Zhaoguang to eat, and often ask Zhaoguang to take it back. The lunch provided by the school solved the big problem of Zhaoguang’s food and clothing.
There is no need to be hungry for the sake of face. Zhao Guang remembers what his grandmother taught. With the teacher's kindness, Zhao Guang also fully expressed his gratitude - that is, eat all the food~! Respecting food is also a kind of respect.
One day, the thief came to his grandmother’s house to steal things, but unfortunately stepped on the floor and was injured. He was kept at home by Zhaoguang’s grandmother. He acted as a strong laborer on the premise of not calling the police. He chopped firewood and made fire every day in exchange for food. The thief who had been working for a long time was influenced by his grandmother’s character and finally went out to find a serious job and became a carpenter.
3 School spring outing, Zhao Guang arrived at the battlefield with his unique equipment on his back - it was a warm water bag picked up by his grandmother from the river. It was originally used to water flowers. After washing, he barely used it to serve water in a kettle. The rice was made of leftover tea residue and fish bones and sprinkled on the rice. Although the equipment is relatively simple, the water in the warm water bag is more insulated! As a result, after drinking the water from other students, they borrowed water from Zhaoguang to drink.
Because of the water warmer bottle transformation, Zhaoguang talked enthusiastically with his grandmother about picking up things after returning home. Grandma knocked on the blackboard and said his opinion with the finishing touch:
" Lucky and misfortune are actually and way of thinking Related, if you think that there are only things you pick up in the world and not what is discarded, your happiness index will greatly improve . "
Adult Xiao Zhaoguang has many things he wants to buy, such as colored pencils, delicious snacks, bicycles, but what should I do if I am poor?
If you don’t have money, you earn it yourself. In the first grade of elementary school, you were "abandoned" by your mother in the countryside. He lived with his grandmother and mastered the survival skills that would benefit him a lot in the future.
As the author of the real prototype of the comic protagonist, Yoshiki Shimada became a popular funny artist as an adult, but also experienced a trough. When he could not make a comeback as a funny artist, he chose to write a memoir and published this bestseller - "Saga's Super Mom".
ending
The protagonist of the comic, elementary school student Zhao Guang, was abandoned by his mother and sent to his mother's house in the countryside. He lives with his grandmother who has nothing but a broken house. He lives by picking up vegetables and leaves floating in the river every day, and sometimes he has to starve all day because he has no food to eat.
Akihiro, a primary school student who has nothing, has lived in the countryside of Saga for 8 years. Not only is he not depressed or depressed, he is also cheerful and optimistic, spreading his optimism to the people around him, bringing light to many people in difficulties around him.
Because he has a person who guides him - grandma, grandma's words, deeds and thoughts directly affect Zhaoguang, so the child's mood and mental state are directly linked to the adults who raise him around him.
The best way to educate children is - Do your best and have the ability to think independently .
