\u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d is anoth\u00ader mas\u00adter\u00adpiece by Yu Hongcheng, a post-85s pic\u00adture book writer, fol\u00adlow\u00ading \u201cFood on the Plate.\u201d Through the growth sto\u00adry of a lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden, it leads read\u00aders into a warm yet chal\u00adleng\u00ading world, while real\u00adis\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly depict\u00ading the life cycle of a domes\u00adti\u00adcat\u00aded chick\u00aden from hatch\u00ading to full matu\u00adri\u00adty. Yu Hongcheng\u2019s del\u00adi\u00adcate\u00adly real\u00adis\u00adtic illus\u00adtra\u00adtions and pro\u00adfound\u00adly emo\u00adtion\u00adal expres\u00adsion make \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d not only a chil\u00addren\u2019s pic\u00adture book with a touch of pop\u00adu\u00adlar sci\u00adence, but also an edu\u00adca\u00adtion\u00adal text\u00adbook about growth, courage, and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The sto\u00adry of a lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden\u2019s growth from birth to becom\u00ading the leader of the flock, from a fairy tale per\u00adspec\u00adtive, resem\u00adbles the com\u00ading-of-age sto\u00adry of a young hero. But this growth also begins with a lov\u00ading fam\u00adi\u00adly and the warm embrace of its moth\u00ader. The sto\u00adry begins with the moment the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden breaks out of its shell. With its moth\u00ader\u2019s pro\u00adtec\u00adtion and encour\u00adage\u00adment, it grows hap\u00adpi\u00adly in an envi\u00adron\u00adment filled with love and care. How\u00adev\u00ader, when its moth\u00ader leaves, the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden must face life\u2019s chal\u00adlenges inde\u00adpen\u00addent\u00adly. He leads his sib\u00adlings in their search for food, dri\u00adves away the mis\u00adchie\u00advous ducks, and ulti\u00admate\u00adly defeats the leader of the flock, becom\u00ading the new leader of the flock. In this jour\u00adney, which bears a strik\u00ading resem\u00adblance to human growth, read\u00aders wit\u00adness the hard\u00adships and joys of grow\u00ading up, while also feel\u00ading the pre\u00adcious\u00adness of life and the warmth of fam\u00adi\u00adly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How\u00adev\u00ader, the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden\u2019s upbring\u00ading is vast\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent from the nat\u00adur\u00adal envi\u00adron\u00adment humans expe\u00adri\u00adence. While the sto\u00adry has a fairy\u00adtale qual\u00adi\u00adty, and the author attempts to use the first-per\u00adson per\u00adspec\u00adtive of the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist, the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden, the illus\u00adtra\u00adtions are com\u00adplete\u00adly real\u00adis\u00adtic, with pho\u00adto\u00adgraph\u00adic detail depict\u00ading the ani\u00admals, plants, peo\u00adple, vil\u00adlage hous\u00ades, and veg\u00adetable gar\u00addens. With\u00adout first read\u00ading the text, the read\u00ader\u2019s ini\u00adtial impres\u00adsion might be that this is a pop\u00adu\u00adlar sci\u00adence book. In fact, the author and pub\u00adlish\u00ader have includ\u00aded a hand\u00adbook specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly for read\u00aders, detail\u00ading the com\u00adplete growth process of a domes\u00adti\u00adcat\u00aded chick\u00aden, pro\u00advid\u00ading infor\u00adma\u00adtion on the var\u00adi\u00adous plants fea\u00adtured in the book, and even explor\u00ading the diverse breeds of chick\u00adens. From this per\u00adspec\u00adtive, read\u00ading \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d is also a live\u00adly and engag\u00ading edu\u00adca\u00adtion\u00adal expe\u00adri\u00adence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a sto\u00adry\u00adtelling per\u00adspec\u00adtive, I think this sto\u00adry incor\u00adpo\u00adrates pop\u00adu\u00adlar sci\u00adence, which is essen\u00adtial, at least for urban chil\u00addren. I was born in the 1970s, and although I did\u00adn\u2019t grow up in the coun\u00adtry\u00adside, my fam\u00adi\u00adly raised chick\u00adens, so I have some under\u00adstand\u00ading of the life cycle of domes\u00adti\u00adcat\u00aded chick\u00adens. I thought this was com\u00admon knowl\u00adedge, but when I grad\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded from uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty and talked with a class\u00admate who was born and raised in Bei\u00adjing, I was sur\u00adprised to dis\u00adcov\u00ader she knew noth\u00ading about it. She said she had nev\u00ader even seen a live domes\u00adtic chick\u00aden! I imag\u00adine that for a young read\u00ader who has nev\u00ader seen a live chick\u00aden, \u201cThe Lit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden,\u201d with its real\u00adis\u00adtic illus\u00adtra\u00adtions, still feels more like an ani\u00admal fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although told in a fairy\u00adtale style, the chal\u00adlenges faced by the chicks dur\u00ading their growth are very real: the dogs and cats that often prey on them, the sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion of the moth\u00ader hen and her chicks after they reach a cer\u00adtain stage of growth, the chick\u00adens\u2019 ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adri\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, the fights between roost\u00aders, and the com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion for food with oth\u00ader poul\u00adtry\u2026 The author observes from a human per\u00adspec\u00adtive, offer\u00ading insight\u00adful insights into human growth. For exam\u00adple, the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden grew up under the pro\u00adtec\u00adtion of its moth\u00ader, but with her depar\u00adture, it was forced to learn to live inde\u00adpen\u00addent\u00adly. This process demon\u00adstrates the inevitable dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties and chal\u00adlenges of grow\u00ading up and empha\u00adsizes the impor\u00adtance of inde\u00adpen\u00addence. The lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden dis\u00adplays extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary courage and respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty in fac\u00ading the bad duck and the head chick\u00aden, remind\u00ading young read\u00aders to brave\u00adly face life\u2019s dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties. The lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden also has to face the real\u00adi\u00adty of los\u00ading a loved one dur\u00ading its growth, which reminds us of the fragili\u00adty and pre\u00adcious\u00adness of life and the need to respect and cher\u00adish every life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After years of expe\u00adri\u00adence, Yu Hongcheng has grown from a grad\u00adu\u00adate of the pic\u00adture book cre\u00adation stu\u00addio to a high\u00adly skilled pic\u00adture book cre\u00adator. In this book, she demon\u00adstrates a mas\u00adter\u00adful nar\u00adra\u00adtive tech\u00adnique com\u00adbin\u00ading text and images. Sim\u00adi\u00adlar to her work on \u201cA Dish on a Plate,\u201d she draws on long-term obser\u00adva\u00adtion and sketch\u00ading in rur\u00adal areas, metic\u00adu\u00adlous\u00adly recre\u00adat\u00ading the details of rur\u00adal life with rich col\u00adors. Each illus\u00adtra\u00adtion is imbued with a sense of life, immers\u00ading the read\u00ader in the scene. How\u00adev\u00ader, her illus\u00adtra\u00adtions don\u2019t sim\u00adply sup\u00adple\u00adment the text; they also reveal details not men\u00adtioned in the text, and some\u00adtimes delib\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly cre\u00adate con\u00adtrast between text and image to cre\u00adate a unique nar\u00adra\u00adtive ten\u00adsion. For exam\u00adple, on pages 16\u201317, the text briefly com\u00adplains about the moth\u00ader hen\u2019s nag\u00adging, while the pic\u00adture shows a lurk\u00ading cat, hint\u00ading at real dan\u00adger. On the next page, the text admits, \u201cI\u2019ve just dis\u00adcov\u00adered that my moth\u00ader was right,\u201d while the pic\u00adture sug\u00adgests that the cat has already tak\u00aden the life of a younger broth\u00ader or sis\u00adter. These seem\u00ading\u00adly ordi\u00adnary and peace\u00adful images con\u00adceal a harsh truth about the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yu Hongcheng main\u00adtains her char\u00adac\u00adter\u00adis\u00adtic calm demeanor as she nar\u00adrates this rather inspir\u00ading com\u00ading-of-age sto\u00adry. By the end of the sto\u00adry, with the lit\u00adtle black chick\u00aden becom\u00ading the new leader of the flock and dream\u00ading of its moth\u00ader nestling under its broad wings, the sto\u00adry could have had a hap\u00adpy end\u00ading. How\u00adev\u00ader, Yu Hongcheng delib\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly left a blank dou\u00adble-page image, show\u00ading chick\u00adens peck\u00ading at food on the ground while a bowl of chick\u00aden soup sat on a table where humans were prepar\u00ading din\u00adner. This prompts the read\u00ader to ask: Who is that chick\u00aden? Is it the same chick\u00aden men\u00adtioned in the sto\u00adry? This is indeed a fact of life: domes\u00adti\u00adcat\u00aded chick\u00adens are not only part of the fam\u00adi\u00adly, but they are also often des\u00adtined for food. This real\u00adis\u00adtic metaphor invites read\u00aders to reflect on the nature of life and the cru\u00adel\u00adty of exis\u00adtence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her state\u00adment, the author shares her expe\u00adri\u00adences rais\u00ading chick\u00adens with her moth\u00ader, which not only inspired her to cre\u00adate \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d but also deep\u00adened her reflec\u00adtion and rev\u00ader\u00adence for life. Through the chick\u00aden\u2019s growth sto\u00adry, she express\u00ades her cher\u00adish\u00adment of life and her pro\u00adfound under\u00adstand\u00ading of growth. This gen\u00aduine emo\u00adtion\u00adal out\u00adpour\u00ading makes the sto\u00adry even more mov\u00ading and affect\u00ading. This book can also be seen as a con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion of \u201cA Dish on a Plate,\u201d per\u00adhaps the hen and chicks depict\u00aded in the \u201cQingzhe\u201d page of \u201cA Dish on a Plate\u201d serve as the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion to the sto\u00adry of \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden.\u201d Both books fea\u00adture a del\u00adi\u00adcate\u00adly real\u00adis\u00adtic style, report\u00aded\u00adly draw\u00ading on first\u00adhand mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal from the same rur\u00adal area. From doc\u00adu\u00adment\u00ading the rice plant\u00adi\u00adng process to depict\u00ading the growth of the chicks, Yu Hongcheng has always been atten\u00adtive to life and nature, and through these works, she helps read\u00aders gain a deep\u00ader under\u00adstand\u00ading and respect for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regard\u00ading the metic\u00adu\u00adlous\u00adly real\u00adis\u00adtic style of paint\u00ading, some might ask, with the advance\u00adment of pho\u00adtog\u00adra\u00adphy today, is this style still valu\u00adable in pic\u00adture book cre\u00adation? I believe the answer is yes. While pho\u00adtog\u00adra\u00adphy can cap\u00adture real\u00adis\u00adtic details, real\u00adis\u00adtic paint\u00ading is cre\u00adat\u00aded through the artist\u2019s vision and tech\u00adnique, embody\u00ading their emo\u00adtions, per\u00adspec\u00adtives, and expres\u00adsion. This unique qual\u00adi\u00adty can\u00adnot be repli\u00adcat\u00aded by pho\u00adtographs. Many scenes in \u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d appear to have been tak\u00aden with a cam\u00adera, but in real\u00adi\u00adty, they are entire\u00adly redesigned and arranged by the cre\u00adator based on real-life mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal, using fic\u00adtion\u00adal tech\u00adniques. The unique per\u00adspec\u00adtive of the sim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded lens also rep\u00adre\u00adsents the author\u2019s per\u00adson\u00adal expres\u00adsion of emo\u00adtions and opin\u00adions. For exam\u00adple, in the scene where the moth\u00ader hen says she\u2019s leav\u00ading, the read\u00ader looks to the low\u00ader left and sees the moth\u00ader hen grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly mov\u00ading away. At the end of the path is a gate in the fence, with the head hen guard\u00ading the flock\u2026 It\u2019s more like a dra\u00admat\u00adic scene from a movie, evok\u00ading a sense of imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion. This is a high\u00adly sub\u00adjec\u00adtive expres\u00adsion that con\u00adveys pro\u00adfound emo\u00adtion and artis\u00adtic con\u00adcep\u00adtion, aim\u00ading to enhance the read\u00ader\u2019s sense of immer\u00adsion and emo\u00adtion\u00adal res\u00ado\u00adnance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLit\u00adtle Black Chick\u00aden\u201d is a unique and orig\u00adi\u00adnal work. It can be described as a fairy tale with a touch of pop\u00adu\u00adlar sci\u00adence, or pop\u00adu\u00adlar sci\u00adence with a fairy tale twist. In short, it pos\u00adsess\u00ades both edu\u00adca\u00adtion\u00adal and artis\u00adtic val\u00adue. This sto\u00adry of growth, courage, and life should be quite inspir\u00ading for chil\u00addren today who need to learn to face life\u2019s chal\u00adlenges and dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
