[Interesting] McDull is 25 years old and finally understands his "Dark Fairy Tale"

//

Since “Little Pig Page” has become a top-rated internet celebrity, everyone seems to have forgotten about the other “Pig Baby”.

His name is McDull and he is from Hong Kong, China. Last month, he just passed his 25th birthday.

Today, let’s review the story of this pink cartoon pig.

I saw a picture on Weibo two days ago, and suddenly thought of McDull.

suddenly discovered that this Hong Kong animation released in 2001 has been with us for 19 years. The McDull kid from the Springfield Huahua Alumni Association was born on June 22, 1995. He turned 25 years old last month.

Re-reading "McDull Story", I suddenly realized: it turns out that there is something, if there is nothing, there is no, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

McDull is a model of this era. When the whole world wants you to run hard, get fame, and retreat if you don't advance, he tells you that you can do your best, but after failure, you can be paralyzed.

"My name is McDull, and my grandmother is Mrs. Mai. I like to eat wheat dumplings, eat chicken and sing together..."

No smart head Melon is not a lucky kid. McDull is an ordinary Hong Kong kid. He lives with his mother Mai Tai in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon. He lives a not rich but happy life and grows up with the children in Chuntian Huahua Kindergarten.

He is always optimistic and has a very cute "spiritual victory method".

Thanks to my body, even if I am bloated, I can travel around the world; thanks to my nose, even if it collapses, it allows me to breathe fresh air; thanks to my eyes, no matter how small , Squinting again, I can see sunrise, sunset, flowers blooming, flowers fade. Thank you for the sun rising again and continue to ignite my dreams; for the days that made me sad, I know that happiness is not far away from me.

Even with mediocre qualifications, there are many dreams.

I have had the Olympic gold medal dream of "robbing the mountain"; the food I want most is roast chicken; the place I want to go is the clean and white Maldives; my biggest wish is mother every day Happy.

As a senior foodie, McDull has created his own "food philosophy", expressing the voice of the majority of foodies.

"My wish is to be a principal. After collecting student tuition every day, I will eat hot pot. Today I will eat spicy hot pot, tomorrow I will eat pickled fish hot pot, and the day after tomorrow I will eat pork bone hot pot."

"The sky is unpredictable, and people have instant egg tarts."

"Keep the green hills here, don't be afraid of not having barbecued pork."

"If love is permanent, how can it be pork and pork." ”

At a young age, he always speaks surprisingly, ignorantly and funny.

Wonderful dialogue makes people listen emmm...hahahaha!

Classic memories of fish ball thick noodles: no fish balls, no thick noodles, nothing, what shop to open!

Occasionally summed up thought-provoking principles, some are very touching, some are very heart-warming...

"In real life, there are things No, there is no. It’s not that you want to order fish balls or thick noodles, you must have a choice.”

“This world is not just about kindness, stupidity, fatness, and lack of money are not easy things.”

"Those nonsensical thoughts when I was young, as well as dreams of traveling around the world and saving the world will also be disillusioned."

In addition to the dull and cute Maidou himself, the warm daily life of him and his mother has also hit The softest place in our hearts.

However, Goose Niang likes to listen to Mai Tai's official complaints. It's so true, our mother is like this!

and Mai Tai's dark bedtime story, it seems that McDull, like us, grew up in the alternation of petting and frightening.

01

Is McDull a sad story?

When I watched McDull when I was young, I was always amused by the McDull sticks to "fish balls" and "coarse noodles". Looking at it when I grew up, I didn't expect to be cried by him.

Many people say that McDull is actually a sad story with colorful children's filters.

The world of the entire series is seen from the perspective of McDull. This is because when children lack understanding and imagination, they will have perceptual cognition of people or things around them. For example, if I am so fat and my mother said I am like a pig, then I am a pig, with a long neck. Classmates are like geese, and the slow-spoken classmate is like a little tortoise, so the classmates in the McDull class are all kinds of small animals.

In addition to being not handsome or smart, McDull has a very good personality, and he is always slower than others.

Family conditions are not good, I don’t know where my dad has been since I was young, and my mother uses every opportunity to make money, and life is still tight.

In my impression, the famous Chuntian Huahua Kindergarten is actually a private kindergarten with only one principal and one teacher that runs upstairs from the roasting shop.

It even needs children to sing and perform to raise funds to keep going.

With a silly body and the love of his mother, McDull had a fairly happy childhood.

But when he grew up, he left his mother's asylum. He had to touch this tough world, failing, trying, failing... he had to accept the poverty and loss caused by stupidity and slowness.

McDull, creator of McDull image, said:

"This confused and simple piglet McDull is very similar to many Hong Kong people. Hong Kong is not what people think. They are all rich people. In fact, many people live in very crowded pigeon-like buildings, and their lives are very stressful.

They are called grassroots in Hong Kong, McDull is this kind of grassroots, he has no brilliant Family history, there is no magical experience, just a relatively civilian role. However, he is very optimistic and has always had ideals, even if hope has been shattered many times, he is not discouraged."

麦兜He Maitai is like a microcosm of life in the city of Hong Kong, representing the anxiety and hesitation of Hong Kong people in the changing times. They can see the struggle, failure, hard work and sentimentality of a generation of Hong Kong people in them.

McDull's "Mom and Dad"

Xie Liwen and Mai Jiabi are the parents of the McDull world, "Mom" Mai Jiabi created McDull's cute appearance, "Dad" Xie Liwen injected a kind and interesting soul into McDull.

Mai Jiabi and Xie Liwen met in 1988 when Xie Liwen had just returned from studying at the University of Sydney and opened a publishing house. Mai Jiabi, who had not yet graduated, brought an unfinished work. Come for an interview.

Originally, Xie Liwen did not match Mai Jiabi’s works, but was inexplicably moved by her temperament, so she stayed, you paint and I write, thisOne cooperation means twenty to thirty years.

谢立文、麦家碧

At the beginning, the cooperation process was not smooth, because after the story script came out, Mai Jiabi was reluctant to write. Then Xie Liwen discovered that it was because Mai Jiabi did not like sad stories.

He hid the sad things in the script, and only asked Mai Jiabi to draw some happy plots, and finally a few strokes to draw a sad ending, McDull was born in this warm and cruel process.

Slowly, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer. One day, Xie Liwen said to Mai Jiabi during the break at work: For our child McDull, should we fall in love?

Mai Jia Bi Leng for a long time, said the word "good".

In a later interview, the two of them also joked: We are "Fengzi married".

Mai Jiabi is a very childlike person, especially like children, if she did not meet Xie Liwen, she might rent a classroom to teach children painting. But she didn’t plan to have children. When asked why, she took McDull as an example:

"I subconsciously keep a distance from the things I like most. McDull is a pig, but I don’t have it now. I have seen real pigs. McDull’s ideal is to go to the Maldives. I have never been to the Maldives. I think my favorite things will always be in my imagination, so better.”

Fake Burberry

Really love you

In the McDull series of movies, every wheat pocket will have a new "image", he may be Wudang Mountain The little apprentice may also be a small singer in the choir.

Among them, Goose Niang likes the detective McDull in "McDull: Me and My Mother" the most. For the first time, she feels that this little pig is full of wisdom and very handsome.

His new outfit comes from Burberry, so focus! This is a suit with a story.

The story starts from telling stories to the children after the detective Bobby Mai's case is over, recalling the days when he was accompanied by his mother.

Memories in Mai Tai, always "matching wits and courage" with life, she has developed her skills in fumbling and climbing.

The best skill is to "bargain" in the vegetable market.

She is responsible for everything outside the house. She is a screenwriter, host, extra, and all kinds of mental and physical work... Try to make money to support the family.

Once in the hospital because of too much work. While feeling distressed about not being able to work and earn money, on the other hand, in order not to make McDull sad, I rack my brains to make a lie:

"Mom will do inspections to be an astronaut."

This set has a story. Burberry, originated from a "won the lottery" event.

When I was a child, McDull was dismissed as a "mouldy pig hand" because he repeatedly failed in the Mark Six lottery, and lost his confidence.

Suddenly one day, McDull was inspired by "reverse thinking". He naively thought that as long as he didn't buy the number he chose, he would win the prize.

In order to encourage McDull, McDull pretended to have won the lottery and bought him a bunch of new "big-name" clothes.

McDull looked in the mirror and said, his belly is a bit hoop, Mrs. Mai replied, of course, Gucci.

明明It is a Burberry-style lattice, but Mai Tai said it is Gucci, which also implies that everything is a mother's lie.

Many years later, Mai Tai left McDull forever. McDull, who is already a detective, passed a real Burberry store on the way to hunt down the fugitive.

In the next picture, McDull walked out of the store, put on a set of real Burberry, and rightly said: My name is Mai, Bobby Mai!

This outfit has become McDull’s "jacket" and will always be by his side instead of Mai Tai.

"Mom, thank you for everything you have done for me.

I hit a wall, disappointed, frustrated, and sentimental after

finally realized that life is not always for us to choose.

Sometimes, it looks like a hard-boiled egg, which keeps going around.

often has to go around a big circle to understand.

My strength, the source is you."

McDull was born on June 22, 1995. By this calculation, McDull is 25 years old.

I don’t know how he’s been recently. Will he often fail? Do you miss Mai Tai's fast chicken?
