The con\u00adtent includes pre\u00advi\u00adous dis\u00adcus\u00adsions, emails, and on-the-spot notes from this study ses\u00adsion, mak\u00ading it quite chal\u00adleng\u00ading to orga\u00adnize. It may seem a bit messy, but as you slow\u00adly under\u00adstand it, you\u2019ll prob\u00ada\u00adbly find some insights. ^_^Orig\u00adi\u00adnal address:<\/strong>Illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00ading Anoth\u00ader \u201cMe\u201d\u2014\u2014Interpretation of Lionel Mes\u00adsi\u2019s Works<\/a>author:<\/strong>Red Mud Study Group<\/a> This study ses\u00adsion was held after the stu\u00addents had sub\u00admit\u00adted their home\u00adwork enthu\u00adsi\u00adas\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly in the ear\u00adly stage.<\/p>\n


\nDur\u00ading the pre\u00adlim\u00adi\u00adnary prepa\u00adra\u00adtion work:<\/p>\n

1. Yao Jingjing\u2019s inspir\u00ading com\u00adments
\nMatthew\u2019s Dream began with a chance encounter with art and music (a muse\u00adum vis\u00adit), where he found a home for his dreams and spir\u00adit. The most bril\u00adliant sen\u00adtence in the book is the last one: \u201cHis largest paint\u00ading now hangs in the muse\u00adum.\u201d When asked about the title, Matthew smiles. \u201cThe title?\u201d he says as if he had nev\u00ader thought about it before. \u201cMy\u2026\u201d
\nDream\u201d. Indeed, Matthew\u2019s works hang\u00ading in the muse\u00adum are based on his dreams. This is one mean\u00ading of dream. Anoth\u00ader mean\u00ading is that art is a bridge con\u00adnect\u00ading Matthew\u2019s real\u00adi\u00adty and ide\u00adal dreams.<\/p>\n

Through\u00adout his\u00adto\u00adry, many great works of art have emerged from dreams, inspi\u00adra\u00adtion, pas\u00adsion, a rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtion. This is the unpre\u00addictabil\u00adi\u00adty and mys\u00adtery of art. Art has the pow\u00ader to pen\u00ade\u00adtrate deeply. Once some\u00adone falls under the spell of art, per\u00adhaps their world (as Matthew\u2019s) becomes com\u00adplete\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent from that of ordi\u00adnary peo\u00adple. This book dis\u00adcuss\u00ades art and music. It was the first one I picked up from a list of 18, and it res\u00adonat\u00aded so well with our top\u00adic yes\u00adter\u00adday. It seems every\u00adthing is orches\u00adtrat\u00aded. It\u2019s fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading\u2026<\/p>\n

2. Teacher Ajia\u2019s Poet\u00adic Inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtion<\/p>\n

This is the orig\u00adi\u00adnal text from Lion\u00adi\u2019s pic\u00adture books, the orig\u00adi\u00adnal text from some of Lion\u00adi\u2019s books I\u2019ve trans\u00adlat\u00aded. I\u2019m used to typ\u00ading out and print\u00ading out each pic\u00adture book before trans\u00adlat\u00ading it. Words feel com\u00adplete\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent when sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00aded from the pic\u00adtures. For exam\u00adple, Antho\u00adny Brown\u2019s words are only par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading when paired with the pic\u00adtures, but Lion\u00adi\u2019s words seem to stand alone, form\u00ading a poet\u00adic alle\u00adgo\u00adry.<\/p>\n

3. Huang Jian\u00adping\u2019s com\u00adpar\u00ada\u00adtive inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtion of Afo and the Cuck\u00adoo<\/p>\n

In 1959, at the age of 49 and at the peak of his career, Lionel Mes\u00adsi planned to retire at 50 to pur\u00adsue a more cre\u00adative life, mov\u00ading from New York to Italy. It was then that a serendip\u00adi\u00adtous event led him to his future career. Lionel Mes\u00adsi, now a grand\u00adfa\u00adther, was tak\u00ading his two young grand\u00adchil\u00addren home by train. To ease the bore\u00addom of the long jour\u00adney, he tore a few col\u00ador\u00adful scraps of paper from a near\u00adby mag\u00ada\u00adzine and made up a sto\u00adry for the chil\u00addren: Lit\u00adtle Blue and Lit\u00adtle Yel\u00adlow. Thus began his first pub\u00adlished chil\u00addren\u2019s book.
\nOver the next 35 years, Lionel Leo wrote\/illustrated more than 40 chil\u00addren\u2019s books, four of which won the Calde\u00adcott Medal: *Inch by Inch* (1961 Calde\u00adcott Hon\u00ador book), *Swim\u00admy* (1964 Calde\u00adcott Hon\u00ador book), and more.,
\nFred\u00ader\u00adick (1968 Calde\u00adcott Hon\u00ador book), Alexan\u00adder and Wind-up Mouse (1970 Calde\u00adcott Hon\u00ador book).<\/p>\n

Lionel Leo is a mas\u00adter sto\u00adry\u00adteller. His books tell chil\u00addren about many seri\u00adous top\u00adics such as shar\u00ading, coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion, main\u00adtain\u00ading indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, peace, human rights, etc., but there is no moral preach\u00ading in his books, because he always uses cute ani\u00admal images to impress chil\u00addren all over the world, mak\u00ading them feel that his books are first of all fun and inter\u00adest\u00ading. As for the pro\u00adfound truths con\u00adtained in the books, I believe that chil\u00addren will slow\u00adly expe\u00adri\u00adence them through\u00adout their lives.<\/p>\n

Lionel Leo Lion\u00adni\u2019s books cov\u00ader a wide range of sub\u00adjects. Hav\u00ading wit\u00adnessed and per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adly expe\u00adri\u00adenced the rise of fas\u00adcism in Europe, and as a mem\u00adber of an inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal anti-fas\u00adcist orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion (main\u00adly com\u00adposed of intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adals and artists), his strong advo\u00adca\u00adcy for peace and human rights is often reflect\u00aded in his sto\u00adries. For exam\u00adple, *The Alpha\u00adbet Tree* was writ\u00adten dur\u00ading the Viet\u00adnam War; *Tillie and the Wall* was pub\u00adlished eight months before the fall of the Berlin Wall; and *Nico\u00adlas, Where Have You Been?*
\nIt talks about over\u00adcom\u00ading prej\u00adu\u00addice. It\u2019s fair to say that every one of Lion\u00adi\u2019s books deserves dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, but due to time and space con\u00adstraints, I\u2019d like to focus on the first Lioni book I read, and my favorite, about the lit\u00adtle field mouse, Alfon\u00adso. Before dis\u00adcussing Alfon\u00adso, I can\u2019t help but praise Aji\u00ada\u2019s trans\u00adla\u00adtion. Alfon\u00adso is tru\u00adly spot-on, cap\u00adtur\u00ading the play\u00adful\u00adness of the field mouse while also high\u00adlight\u00ading the Bud\u00addha-like state Alfon\u00adso has attained. The orig\u00adi\u00adnal name is Fred\u00ader\u00adick. Could you share how you came up with the trans\u00adla\u00adtion?<\/p>\n

In a pre\u00advi\u00adous email, I men\u00adtioned the impact that Ah Fu had on me, and I\u2019ll repeat it here to avoid a sense of inco\u00adher\u00adence for first-time read\u00aders. I remem\u00adber the open\u00ading of the story\u2014everyone was busy work\u00ading, only Ah Fu, the field mouse, was laz\u00ading around in the sun. It imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly remind\u00aded me of a text I learned as a child, \u201cThe Cuck\u00adoo.\u201d The cuck\u00adoo in the sto\u00adry, like Ah Fu, leisure\u00adly enjoyed the sun\u00adshine while every\u00adone else worked in the sum\u00admer. How\u00adev\u00ader, because it had no food stored for the win\u00adter, it froze and starved to death in the cold win\u00adter. I thought, just like our Chi\u00adnese teach\u00aders, for\u00adeign writ\u00aders teach chil\u00addren to study hard from a young age to avoid freez\u00ading or star\u00adva\u00adtion when they grow up (this is how my teacher sum\u00adma\u00adrized the main idea). How\u00adev\u00ader, the sto\u00adry\u2019s end\u00ading was com\u00adplete\u00adly unex\u00adpect\u00aded, leav\u00ading me filled with envy and resent\u00adment: enjoy\u00ading the sun\u00adshine and beau\u00adti\u00adful scenery in Chi\u00adna would lead to star\u00adva\u00adtion, but in Amer\u00adi\u00adca, you could become an artist! From then on, this new con\u00adcept of pre\u00adserv\u00ading sun\u00adlight and col\u00ador was deeply engraved in my mind and had a pro\u00adfound impact on my life.<\/p>\n

By com\u00adpar\u00ading Fred\u00ader\u00adick the Cold-Weath\u00ader Bird to Fred\u00ader\u00adick, I\u2019m not say\u00ading that all Chi\u00adnese peo\u00adple think like the Cold-Weath\u00ader Bird, or that all Amer\u00adi\u00adcans or West\u00adern\u00aders think like Fred\u00ader\u00adick. Nor am I say\u00ading that most peo\u00adple in the sub\u00adsis\u00adtence stage are like the Cold-Weath\u00ader Bird, or that most peo\u00adple in the afflu\u00adent stage are like Fred\u00ader\u00adick. In fact, every coun\u00adtry and every social class has both types of peo\u00adple. Dur\u00ading a gath\u00ader\u00ading at the Nation\u00adal Day hol\u00adi\u00adday, I talked to my Ger\u00adman friend about Fred\u00ader\u00adick, and she said that it was also her favorite. I then told her the sto\u00adry of the Cold-Weath\u00ader Bird, and she imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly said that she was a Cold-Weath\u00ader Bird type. She said that the food stored in her refrig\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtor was enough for her whole fam\u00adi\u00adly to eat for a week at any time. She could\u00adn\u2019t stand hav\u00ading enough food at home for only one or two days, and she always had to make full prepa\u00adra\u00adtions in advance. There\u00adfore, dif\u00adfer\u00adent coun\u00adtries and dif\u00adfer\u00adent social class\u00ades have both the \u201cCold-weath\u00ader bird\u201d and \u201cAfoeti\u00adda,\u201d which actu\u00adal\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsent two dif\u00adfer\u00adent ways of life, name\u00adly, From\u00adm\u2019s \u201cpos\u00adses\u00adsive\u201d and \u201csur\u00advival\u201d ways of life. The pos\u00adses\u00adsive way of life wants to pos\u00adsess everything\u2014to get every\u00adthing in advance and have every\u00adthing under their con\u00adtrol, the so-called \u201cPre\u00adpare the future\u201d (a phrase that Tiger Mom always uses); while the sur\u00advival-ori\u00adent\u00aded way of life is more con\u00adtent with what they have. They val\u00adue the present and try to enjoy the moment as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble, rather than turn\u00ading every moment into prepa\u00adra\u00adtion for the future and los\u00ading its inher\u00adent mean\u00ading.<\/p>\n

I must admit that I\u2019ve always been raised and thought like the cuck\u00adoo: As a child, I dili\u00adgent\u00adly exer\u00adcised self-denial, for\u00adgo\u00ading sun\u00adlight and vibrant col\u00adors to avoid freez\u00ading and starv\u00ading in win\u00adter. After grad\u00adu\u00adat\u00ading from col\u00adlege and enter\u00ading the work\u00adforce, I worked even hard\u00ader to secure a bright future. As a moth\u00ader, I pre\u00adpared my chil\u00addren for their own futures to avoid a cuck\u00adoo-like fate. It was\u00adn\u2019t until I turned 40 that I sud\u00adden\u00adly real\u00adized that both the dread\u00aded win\u00adter and the bright future lie in a tomor\u00adrow I can nev\u00ader reach. This cuck\u00adoo-like sense of urgency led me to neglect the present, turn\u00ading every moment into a prepa\u00adra\u00adtion for the future, com\u00adplete\u00adly ignor\u00ading the very exis\u00adtence of the present because I only focused on future goals. With\u00adout today, how can there be tomor\u00adrow? If we live our entire lives for tomor\u00adrow, then we\u2019ve nev\u00ader tru\u00adly lived. We might as well learn from the lit\u00adtle field mouse, Afu, and live as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble in the present moment. If stor\u00ading grain and nuts seems fun, then join the effort and save them. If such labor is bor\u00ading and you\u2019d rather sit qui\u00adet\u00adly and admire the sun\u00adshine and col\u00adors, then ful\u00adly enjoy the moment, with\u00adout dwelling on whether you\u2019ll starve in the win\u00adter. Afu impart\u00aded to me a non-cling\u00ading mind\u00adset: ful\u00adly savor the sun\u00adshine when you can, and embrace the cold win\u00adter when it arrives, com\u00adpos\u00ading poet\u00adry for every\u00adone. This is not the usu\u00adal cling\u00ading or entan\u00adgled mind\u00adset: enjoy\u00ading the sun\u00adshine while wor\u00adry\u00ading about star\u00adva\u00adtion in the win\u00adter, then regret\u00adting not work\u00ading hard\u00ader to store more food and instead focus\u00ading sole\u00adly on enjoy\u00ading the sun\u00adshine. In this sense, Afu was a high\u00adly accom\u00adplished Zen prac\u00adti\u00adtion\u00ader. No won\u00adder many regard this book as a yog\u00adic prac\u00adtice. In fact, it\u2019s not just for yogis, but also for Bud\u00addhists and all prac\u00adti\u00adtion\u00aders of all tra\u00addi\u00adtions who desire to live in the present moment.<\/p>\n

To all those who love Alfred the Field Mouse, while you\u2019re busy \u201cstor\u00ading win\u00adter food,\u201d don\u2019t for\u00adget to take a break and enjoy the sun\u00adshine and beau\u00adti\u00adful scenery before you. Don\u2019t always make stor\u00ading sun\u00adshine and col\u00ador a beau\u00adti\u00adful goal, wait\u00ading until this job is fin\u00adished, until your annu\u00adal salary reach\u00ades a cer\u00adtain lev\u00adel, until the chil\u00addren grow up\u2026 No one knows what will hap\u00adpen when that time comes. We always think that the good life has not yet begun, but in fact it is already fad\u00ading. The only thing we can grasp is the present moment.<\/p>\n

5. Wang Liyan\u2019s shar\u00ading
\nI real\u00adly enjoyed the inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtion of \u201cA Col\u00ador of His Own\u201d! These past few days, as a first-year doc\u00adtor\u00adal stu\u00addent, I\u2019ve attend\u00aded sev\u00ader\u00adal open\u00ading cer\u00ade\u00admonies and ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adtion activ\u00adi\u00adties. With\u00adout excep\u00adtion, these activ\u00adi\u00adties empha\u00adsized the impor\u00adtance of pub\u00adlish\u00ading papers, espe\u00adcial\u00adly in core domes\u00adtic and inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal jour\u00adnals like SSCI and SCI. It felt like the entire uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty, from the depart\u00adment to the spe\u00adcif\u00adic major, was remind\u00ading grad\u00adu\u00adate stu\u00addents to focus on pub\u00adlish\u00ading papers and com\u00adplet\u00ading their dis\u00adser\u00adta\u00adtions. Hear\u00ading this so much made me a lit\u00adtle sad: why did\u00adn\u2019t any\u00adone empha\u00adsize learn\u00ading to care for one\u00adself, improv\u00ading self-cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adtion; why did\u00adn\u2019t they empha\u00adsize learn\u00ading to observe soci\u00adety, care for oth\u00aders, and shoul\u00adder respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties to soci\u00adety and the coun\u00adtry? As a nor\u00admal uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty (East Chi\u00adna Nor\u00admal Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty), why did\u00adn\u2019t they empha\u00adsize learn\u00ading how to be a teacher, how to edu\u00adcate stu\u00addents, and under\u00adstand\u00ading the cur\u00adrent state of edu\u00adca\u00adtion in Chi\u00adna?<\/p>\n

6. Li Ling chose to share with the chil\u00addren<\/p>\n

7. Dong Ying shares her thoughts after read\u00ading \u201cThe Alpha\u00adbet Tree\u201d
\nYes\u00adter\u00adday, I ran\u00addom\u00adly picked up this book, *The Alpha\u00adbet Tree*, and slow\u00adly began to read it. The con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion between two ants led to a very touch\u00ading, vivid, and inspir\u00ading story\u2014each let\u00adter remind\u00aded me of each and every one of us, of each indi\u00advid\u00adual life. Ini\u00adtial\u00adly, inde\u00adpen\u00addent indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals could sur\u00advive on their own, just like peo\u00adple today, each liv\u00ading their own lives with\u00adout the most basic equal com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion between peo\u00adple. When dis\u00adas\u00adter strikes, the let\u00adters are blown away one by one, and what about peo\u00adple? Aren\u2019t we the same? Some\u00adtimes I think that human\u00adi\u00adty only unites when dis\u00adas\u00adter strikes. The say\u00ading \u201cmany hands make light work\u201d only express\u00ades a small part of the prob\u00adlem. When all the let\u00adters hud\u00addle togeth\u00ader, it still does\u00adn\u2019t have much effect; it\u2019s a dis\u00ador\u00adga\u00adnized mess. Will it be eas\u00adi\u00adly defeat\u00aded? Human\u00adi\u00adty needs a mag\u00adic touch, and at this moment, Fun\u00adny Bug is the guide of these alpha\u00adbet trees. Social groups need good lead\u00aders, not just those who incite; they should offer sug\u00adges\u00adtions and have some orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion\u00adal skills. The let\u00adters formed words, and although the strong wind could\u00adn\u2019t blow them away, some\u00adthing was still miss\u00ading. Then a cute cater\u00adpil\u00adlar appeared. The pink cater\u00adpil\u00adlar was adorable, but I don\u2019t under\u00adstand why Lionel Leo always used such bright col\u00adors when choos\u00ading char\u00adac\u00adters to appear. I think it\u2019s to attract atten\u00adtion, but there must be a deep\u00ader mean\u00ading. When the cater\u00adpil\u00adlar appeared, it offered advice to the let\u00adters: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you put your\u00adselves togeth\u00ader to form sen\u00adtences to express some\u00adthing?\u201d The let\u00adters formed some sen\u00adtences, but the cater\u00adpil\u00adlar said, \u201cyou\u2026\u201d
\nThe cor\u00adrect guid\u00adance of \u201cmust say some\u00adthing impor\u00adtant\u201d allowed the scat\u00adtered let\u00adters to even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly form the sen\u00adtence \u201cPeace on earth and good\u00adwill toward all men.\u201d The cater\u00adpil\u00adlar car\u00adried the let\u00adters away, and when the let\u00adters asked where it was tak\u00ading them, the cater\u00adpil\u00adlar replied, \u201cTo the pres\u00adi\u00addent.\u201d \u201cTo the president\u201d\u2014this is a phrase that evokes end\u00adless con\u00adtem\u00adpla\u00adtion. I look for\u00adward to fur\u00adther inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtions. After read\u00ading the sto\u00adry, and reflect\u00ading on the cur\u00adrent sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, how won\u00adder\u00adful it would be if there were such a men\u00adtor to guide the peo\u00adple to approach protests and patri\u00ado\u00adtism ratio\u00adnal\u00adly. Per\u00adhaps I read the right book at the right time; I feel that Lion\u00adni\u2019s image has com\u00adplete\u00adly changed in my mind. I love his paint\u00adings, I love his expres\u00adsion. Every work is so clas\u00adsic. Whether mean\u00ading\u00adful or mean\u00ading\u00adless, I will con\u00adtin\u00adue to read his works, one by one.<\/p>\n

8. Teacher Ajia takes the risk of shar\u00ading \u201cGirl with a Brown Paint\u00adbrush\u201d<\/p>\n

This is tru\u00adly a very impor\u00adtant book. It\u2019s eas\u00adi\u00ader for adults to com\u00adment on Lion\u00adi\u2019s work, but I\u2019ve always been curi\u00adous about how chil\u00addren actu\u00adal\u00adly receive it. This book gives us a very dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtive.<\/p>\n

For exam\u00adple, in the book \u201cAlfred the Field Mouse\u201d, the chil\u00addren in the book seemed to not care at all about Alfred\u2019s seem\u00ading\u00adly \u201cself\u00adish\u201d behav\u00adior, accept\u00aded it effort\u00adless\u00adly, and main\u00adly viewed it from the per\u00adspec\u00adtive of a friend.<\/p>\n

From an adult\u2019s per\u00adspec\u00adtive, it\u2019s inevitable to wor\u00adry about gains and loss\u00ades. For exam\u00adple, we see that Ah Fo is an artist and a poet, and we not only accept him but also fall in love with him. But what if Ah Fo is noth\u00ading? He sim\u00adply enjoys day\u00addream\u00ading, day\u00addream\u00ading, and col\u00adlect\u00ading col\u00adors and words, but can\u2019t paint or com\u00adpose poet\u00adry? As a friend or rel\u00ada\u00adtive, would I still accept him?
\nI love poet\u00adry, but I can\u2019t write it. Do I still have the right to be as dazed and idle as Ah Fu? \u2014 In short, the log\u00adic of adult real\u00adi\u00adty is always dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to jus\u00adti\u00adfy, haha.
\nChil\u00addren\u2019s under\u00adstand\u00ading of Leoni seems to be more inclined towards hero\u00adism, ide\u00adal\u00adism and roman\u00adtic feel\u00adings.<\/p>\n

9. Yao Jingjing once again shared that An Extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary Egg depicts the char\u00adac\u00adter\u00adis\u00adtics of a per\u00adson who dwells in a poet\u00adic way: a lon\u00ader; full of curios\u00adi\u00adty; enjoys the process of dis\u00adcov\u00adery; loves to explore and loves to think qui\u00adet\u00adly in pri\u00advate space.
\n\u2013 As a dis\u00adtinc\u00adtion, most peo\u00adple, like Mar\u00adi\u00adlyn, are self-right\u00adeous, con\u00adtent with the sta\u00adtus quo, and unwill\u00ading or afraid to take risks.<\/p>\n

- After answer\u00ading what kind of per\u00adson an artist is, the author also answers the ques\u00adtion of what is the use of art: Jes\u00adsi\u00adca hap\u00adpi\u00adly goes out to explore every day, enrich\u00ading her expe\u00adri\u00adences every day: she likes to pick up peb\u00adbles that her oth\u00ader two com\u00adpan\u00adions think are noth\u00ading spe\u00adcial, which led to her bring\u00ading back a croc\u00ado\u00addile egg; she was play\u00ading under the water and was tripped by water plants, which led to a croc\u00ado\u00addile sav\u00ading her life and the two of them becom\u00ading extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary friends; she likes to explore places she has nev\u00ader been to, which led to her meet\u00ading the red and blue bird, and under the guid\u00adance of the bird, she slept in the open air and trav\u00adeled under the stars all the way to find the croc\u00ado\u00addile moth\u00ader; she likes the process of dis\u00adcov\u00adery rather than the result of pos\u00adsess\u00ading her friends, so she does not feel lost when she leaves the croc\u00ado\u00addile, but rush\u00ades home to share her new dis\u00adcov\u00adery with her com\u00adpan\u00adions.<\/p>\n

In her poet\u00adic habi\u00adtat, the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist Jes\u00adsi\u00adca lives a rich and extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary life. Jes\u00adsi\u00adca pos\u00adsess\u00ades an artis\u00adtic heart. What ordi\u00adnary peo\u00adple con\u00adsid\u00ader ordi\u00adnary peb\u00adbles, to her, are beau\u00adti\u00adful in shape, tex\u00adture, and col\u00ador. While ordi\u00adnary frogs freak out at the sight of move\u00adment in the water, Jes\u00adsi\u00adca, drown\u00ading, remains unfazed, say\u00ading, \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d When I read about Jes\u00adsi\u00adca and the alli\u00adga\u00adtor\u2019s breakup, I won\u00addered if Jes\u00adsi\u00adca was a lit\u00adtle sad about her friend\u2019s depar\u00adture. No, she was\u00adn\u2019t. She hap\u00adpi\u00adly ran home, eager to share her dis\u00adcov\u00adery with her friends. Heart\u00adless artists nev\u00ader have time for sad\u00adness or loss, their gaze and pace nev\u00ader lin\u00adger\u00ading on new goals. Jes\u00adsi\u00adca\u2019s life is ele\u00advat\u00aded by art, and the lit\u00adtle alli\u00adga\u00adtor, through a strange twist of fate, finds a home (per\u00adhaps a sec\u00adu\u00adlar pur\u00adpose, too).
\nThere are still some pre\u00adpared mate\u00adri\u00adals for you guys that I haven\u2019t sort\u00aded out yet. When we get togeth\u00ader at Red Mud, we can share about Lionel Mes\u00adsi and his works.<\/p>\n

The study ses\u00adsion began with a ques\u00adtion from a child: \u201cThe sto\u00adry in Lit\u00adtle Yel\u00adlow and Lit\u00adtle Blue is so con\u00adcise, and oth\u00ader works by Leo Lion\u00adni, while telling sto\u00adries from mul\u00adti\u00adple per\u00adspec\u00adtives, why is he so cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading and has influ\u00adenced so many peo\u00adple to cre\u00adate pic\u00adture books? How can we appre\u00adci\u00adate his work?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chil\u00addren imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly rushed to answer. Some spoke from their own read\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adences, say\u00ading that Leonie\u2019s works encom\u00adpass every aspect of life, like a fish being a fish, and Leonie being the eye. Through him, he has brought togeth\u00ader a com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty of \u201cfish\u201d chil\u00addren\u2019s book cre\u00adators, who, under his lead\u00ader\u00adship, brave\u00adly forge ahead. Oth\u00aders approached the top\u00adic from an artis\u00adtic per\u00adspec\u00adtive, stat\u00ading that he was the first to incor\u00adpo\u00adrate col\u00adlages into chil\u00addren\u2019s book cre\u00adation. He took every\u00adday ele\u00adments and, while tran\u00adscend\u00ading the mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal, offered read\u00aders a fresh expe\u00adri\u00adence. Teacher Ajia recount\u00aded the sto\u00adry of Leonie\u2019s cre\u00adation of Lit\u00adtle Yel\u00adlow and Lit\u00adtle Blue. Dur\u00ading a short train trip, Leonie used blocks of col\u00ador torn from mag\u00ada\u00adzines to tell a sto\u00adry to his five-year-old grand\u00adson and three-year-old grand\u00addaugh\u00adter. The cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading sto\u00adry cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00aded the chil\u00addren, and after care\u00adful edit\u00ading and pro\u00adduc\u00adtion, it became the clas\u00adsic \u201cLit\u00adtle Blue and Lit\u00adtle Yel\u00adlow.\u201d Leonie thus acquired a new iden\u00adti\u00adty: a mas\u00adter of chil\u00addren\u2019s pic\u00adture books. Although not a pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture writer, this out\u00adsider brings a dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtive to those with\u00adin the field. Leonie\u2019s pic\u00adture book cre\u00adations appear unin\u00adflu\u00adenced by the tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal chil\u00addren\u2019s book indus\u00adtry, and his rela\u00adtion\u00adship with edi\u00adtors is unique. Lioni is nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly hap\u00adpy to tell the edi\u00adtor what his next book might be based on, but no one knows the spe\u00adcif\u00adic con\u00adtent of the book until he takes the fin\u00adished book to the pub\u00adlish\u00ader. Lioni is very con\u00adfi\u00addent that his almost per\u00adfect cre\u00adations can sur\u00adprise every\u00adone, and in fact, it is always the case. The artist and design mas\u00adter even designed the font, and he always chose a very old-fash\u00adioned font (Cen\u00adtu\u00adry).
\n(School\u00adbook), because he felt this type of print\u00ading font was the eas\u00adi\u00adest for chil\u00addren to read. The design\u00ader had also metic\u00adu\u00adlous\u00adly planned the font size and pre\u00adcise place\u00adment on the page. Peo\u00adple often talk more about Lion\u00adni\u2019s paint\u00adings, but he was equal\u00adly metic\u00adu\u00adlous about his text. Edi\u00adtors hailed him as the \u201cAesop of the 20th cen\u00adtu\u00adry,\u201d prais\u00ading not only the pro\u00adfound mean\u00ading of his sto\u00adries but also the con\u00adcise, clear, and poet\u00adic nature of his writ\u00ading. While his pic\u00adture book text is eas\u00adi\u00adly under\u00adstood by chil\u00addren, it\u2019s not in a tone specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly for chil\u00addren; his sto\u00adries are for every\u00adone. Reflect\u00ading on Lion\u00adni\u2019s seem\u00ading\u00adly sim\u00adple words, I some\u00adtimes feel they are quite old-fash\u00adioned, more like Euro\u00adpean Eng\u00adlish than Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Eng\u00adlish. His gram\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal rig\u00ador is exem\u00adplary, while his word choic\u00ades are high\u00adly indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adis\u00adtic. He does\u00adn\u2019t seem to auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly choose com\u00admon words, but rather prefers words with a more pri\u00admal charm and sym\u00adbol\u00adic mean\u00ading. Some stu\u00addents com\u00adbined Leo Lion\u00adni\u2019s biog\u00adra\u00adphy with an over\u00adall inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtion of his works. Lion\u00adni him\u00adself was a per\u00adson with very broad inter\u00adests, enjoy\u00ading archi\u00adtec\u00adture, sculp\u00adture, music, and dance. He drew inspi\u00adra\u00adtion from var\u00adi\u00adous fields and applied it to his chil\u00addren\u2019s book cre\u00adations, result\u00ading in a diverse range of styles. Stu\u00addent Li Ling shared her expe\u00adri\u00adence of shar\u00ading his works with dif\u00adfer\u00adent chil\u00addren. In a rur\u00adal school in Yun\u00adnan, Matthew\u2019s Dream instant\u00adly moved all the chil\u00addren. Among the hear\u00ading-impaired chil\u00addren, they want\u00aded to touch the promi\u00adnent col\u00adored blocks, espe\u00adcial\u00adly when the beau\u00adti\u00adful dream was inter\u00adrupt\u00aded, return\u00ading to the bleak real\u00adi\u00adty, and then real\u00adi\u00adty became beau\u00adti\u00adful again, due to the effect of tears and famil\u00adiar music. Group leader Huang Jian\u00adping talked about her read\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence, say\u00ading it was relat\u00aded to her own expe\u00adri\u00adences, inter\u00adpret\u00ading her\u00adself, and dis\u00adcov\u00ader\u00ading anoth\u00ader \u201cself\u201d in the book. Teach\u00aders at Hai\u00adjia School said that after read\u00ading Fred\u00ader\u00adick the Mouse in sec\u00adond grade, the chil\u00addren also cre\u00adat\u00aded their own sto\u00adries, the most amaz\u00ading being \u201cThe Lit\u00adtle Mouse Prac\u00adtic\u00ading Mar\u00adtial Arts.\u201d Lion\u00adni\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtive is not con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous; even with\u00adin a sin\u00adgle work, the sto\u00adries, themes, and char\u00adac\u00adters are inter\u00adcon\u00adnect\u00aded. Beyond cre\u00adat\u00ading clas\u00adsic books, Leo Lion\u00adni\u2019s works also evoked famil\u00adiar sym\u00adbols in our lives, such as Fred\u00ader\u00adick the field mouse col\u00adlect\u00ading sun\u00adlight and \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Fish.\u201d While Lion\u00adni\u2019s pic\u00adture books seemed avant-garde at the time, they now appear some\u00adwhat old-fash\u00adioned. Yet, his work is mag\u00adi\u00adcal; each piece reflects him, a dif\u00adfer\u00adent ver\u00adsion of him\u00adself at dif\u00adfer\u00adent stages. For exam\u00adple, Lit\u00adtle Blue and Lit\u00adtle Yel\u00adlow can be seen as the dis\u00adap\u00adpear\u00adance and recon\u00adstruc\u00adtion of the self; Lit\u00adtle Black Fish is the leader of the group; Cor\u00adnelius is a trend\u00adset\u00adter; Fred\u00ader\u00adick is a mag\u00adi\u00adcal poet; and Matthew is an artist who dis\u00adcov\u00aders him\u00adself while dis\u00adcov\u00ader\u00ading the world. Works like *Alexan\u00adder and the Wind-up Mouse*, *One\u2019s Own Col\u00ador*, and *Fish Is Fish* all tell a sto\u00adry of self-iden\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion\u2026 Upon clos\u00ader reflec\u00adtion, they are, to vary\u00ading degrees, reflec\u00adtions of Lion\u00adni him\u00adself. A stu\u00addent then dis\u00adcussed the role of art: artists bet\u00adter under\u00adstand the world, observ\u00ading it from an artist\u2019s per\u00adspec\u00adtive. Chil\u00addren are nat\u00adur\u00adal artists, able to see fall\u00aden flow\u00aders trans\u00adformed into \u201cstars scat\u00adtered on the ground\u201d under the light. In dis\u00adcussing \u201cLet\u2019s make rab\u00adbits,\u201d besides appre\u00adci\u00adat\u00ading the move\u00adment and still\u00adness in the imagery, we also dis\u00adcussed the role of shad\u00adows. For exam\u00adple, a real car\u00adrot casts a shad\u00adow, and the rab\u00adbit becomes a real rab\u00adbit because of its shad\u00adow. Per\u00adhaps this is a metaphor, a point of tran\u00adsi\u00adtion from one world to anoth\u00ader.<\/p>\n
