"Who fell behind? Oh, it turned out to be that Zhou Ziqi! I almost forgot that there was such a classmate in my class..."
Recently, in Xinzangxiu Bookstore in Baizhang Town, Yuhang, the new work "Wonderful Birthday Story Series" trilogy of children's literature writer Jin Yang welcomed its first group of young readers.
Jin Yang donated multiple books to Baizhang Town Central Primary School. As the vice principal of this primary school, Feng Zhiming said that his primary school is a mountain primary school located in the westernmost part of Hangzhou. He will bring the "Wonderful Birthday Story Series" to more children, so that they can experience the meaning of growth through reading and feel the determination to overcome difficulties.
In addition to being a writer, Jin Yang is also the founder of Xinzangxiu Bookstore and the head of the Education Service Group of the Provincial Committee of the Democratic League. At the event, she told the story of her founding Xinzangxiu Bookstore.
A few years ago, her cultural auditorium here gave lectures to the villagers. Unexpectedly, after the meeting, the villagers were reluctant to leave for a long time, and they hoped that she could stay. Later, she raised funds and built an abandoned village health center into Xinzangxiu Bookstore.
Jin Yang's work and life have always been closely related to teenagers, and this new work is still related to a hot life - she was inspired by the true story of a child with inconspicuous grades, kindness, sunny and cuteness, and created the "Wonderful Birthday Story Series". The prototype of the child Zhou Ziqi in the story is a "slow" child. "He is slow in everything he does, whether it is doing homework or memorizing texts. His impatient parents urge him over and over again, but he still does things slowly and step by step at his own pace. Not to mention, in the end, everything was also done. Such a child, although very 'slow', was very brave and enthusiastic, and often helped those in need." Jin Yang said.
However, this "slow" child knows how to be grateful and is willing to convey his kindness: in the hot summer, he walked to the side of the road to send a bottle of ice mineral water to the traffic police uncle; in the cold winter, he and his mother made bread to give the hard-working workers a little warmth.
Watching this child gradually grow into an excellent teenager who is enthusiastic about charity, Jin Yang began to have an idea: "I want to write a series of stories, in which there will be a child with a 'slow pace', slowly showing his own excitement to everyone."
Zhou Ziqi was born like this. He is introverted and his grades are not outstanding. He is a transparent person in the class. No one can ignore him, but he is a particularly kind and sensible child. With the encouragement and help of his parents and his alien friend Sato, he won the Winner Award in the theme competition, becoming the "big star" of the school, and also qualified to participate in summer camps with children from other countries. This inconspicuous story of a child has slowly moved towards a broader universe, and everyone has gained an unforgettable experience of growth.
What Jin Yang wants to convey is that there are many children like Zhou Ziqi in our lives. Although they are easily overlooked, they are just kind, know how to be grateful, and are also very outstanding children.
"Just like there are no two completely identical flowers in the world, each child has his own unique highlights: some children are smart and capable, some are innocent and kind, and some are enthusiastic and outgoing... Grades are not the only criterion for measuring them."
The reason why "birthday" was chosen as the theme of the story trilogy was because Jin Yang wanted to use this set of books as a special birthday gift to the child who was very "slow" and to those children who were not necessarily the best but very kind. Thanks to them for letting us adults see the wonderful presentation of a child who was "slow". At the same time, it can also guide children who read the "Wonderful Birthday Story Series" to learn to be grateful for all the things that make up a better life. During the writing process of
, Jin Yang always recalled the little things he spent with his children in life, and often touched the softness in his heart. When she talked about it on the spot, her teacher choked several times.After the book donation ceremony of
, Ms. Wang Yiqing, deputy president of Zhejiang Children's Literature Publishing House, hosted the Jin Yang's new work forum. Chinese Fable Research Association, , Sun Jianjiang , children's literature writer Zhang Yingyin and other literary celebrities all shared their feelings about this work.
Jin Yang's father is also a children's literature writer. Sun Jianjiang said that Jin Yang has followed her father to experience the influence of children's literature since she was a child, and then she has continued to grow up in the career replacement related to education and writing. Her creative aspects have also continued to expand from fairy tales and her professionalism has continued to improve.
Zhang Yingyin believes that Jin Yang's new work has four characteristics worth savoring - "new, strange, interesting, and warm" - takes the unnoticed child as the protagonist, uses his wild imagination, combines real life with science fiction imagination, and allows children to feel warmth and happiness in reading.
Qian Hanuo, deputy mayor of Baizhang Town, Yuhang District, also praised the event. In her observation, this was a high-quality cultural immersion. Jin Yang's new work helped improve children's reading taste with its high-quality reading content.
