Because the painting style of "Frozen" is pleasing, the plot is touching, and the theme song is also very popular, so the movie has not been released in the United States and even Europe for more than a month, and it has maintained extremely high ratings. Shadow heat.
Jiang Xiaoyuan lives with her aunt in a city on the west coast of the United States that is famous for its large number of Asian immigrants. When chatting with her classmates these days, they mentioned several times that her family recently took her to watch a very special movie. Nice cartoon.
The classmates were all discussing the plot of the movie, and several female classmates even showed off the queen's crown or magic wand that their parents bought, which made Xiaoyuan, who had not watched a movie for a long time, feel a little bit envious.
It has been almost a year since my mother sent my aunt to live in the United States. She still has not fully adapted to the living environment here, especially when she gets along with the outgoing and lively local classmates who are different from the introverted domestic classmates. She felt a little hard to fit in and out of place.
On the contrary, the language barrier is the easiest. After all, the years when she was born happened to be the years when her father Jiang Kan made the most money. She went to a bilingual kindergarten, and the elementary school was also an aristocratic school, so she also had good Mi language in the first grade. The communication environment does not delay the learning of foreign languages.
However, after all, she only came to a foreign country in the second grade of elementary school. Even if she was at her mother's sister's house, she still felt very unnatural. It was not as natural as when she was with her parents at home in Xia Country. Comfortable.
Of course, her aunt and uncle were very kind to her, and the house at home was arranged to give her a separate small bedroom, so that she did not have to share a room with her cousin.
The aunt and uncle care for her in life just as they do for their own daughter. Xiaoyuan wears and eats whatever her daughter eats and wears. Because they go to the same school, the aunt and uncle even drive the car himself every day. Send two little girls to school.
It's just that no matter how good her aunt and uncle are to her, they are not as kind and natural as her biological parents make her feel. Whenever night falls, when the little girl lies alone on the warm little bed in the bedroom, she still feels Secretly missing my mother and father who are far away in Xia Kingdom.
"That father of yours is not a good person. His ability is not very good, but he is ambitious. He was rejected by the company and kicked out early. He didn't hurry up to find a job. He insists on opening a store in the community to be embarrassed. He even went crazy trying to do self-media after he failed. To become a prostitute and become an internet celebrity would be a disgrace to the eighteenth generation of the Jiang family!"
"Xiaoyuan, you must study hard in the United States. When you grow up, try to stay there, find a decent job, and marry a capable husband. Don't repeat the hardships your mother has suffered these years, do you understand?" This is The last words Xiaoyuan's mother said to her when she saw her off at the airport.
After giving Xiaoyuan enough tuition and living expenses until she graduates from high school, Jiang Xiaoyuan—who, for some unknown reason, her mother didn’t change her name to be the same as hers and still retained Jiang Kan’s surname—was taken in by her aunt. I arrived in the United States and have been living with them until now.
During this year, she only spoke to her mother a few times. She used her aunt's phone to call her mother's number several times, but she didn't know why she couldn't get through.
From the beginning, her mother would call her every few days to ask if she was doing well here.
Later, I only got a call every one or two weeks. Later, she only called once every month or two, and once she even heard a strange man's voice talking to her on the phone from her mother.
Later...it has been two months now, and my mother hasn't called me. I don't know what she is busy with. Why can't she even spare a few minutes to make a phone call and leave it to myself...I'm leaving. At that time, her mother also warned herself not to contact that man again, saying that a man who dared not take responsibility was not worthy of being her father.
But Xiaoyuan didn't think so in her little head. How happy she was when her father was with her. She could ride on her father's tall shoulders, ride horses, and be carried around on her father's back. , when she is unhappy, she can be held in her arms by her father and cry and act coquettishly. Whatever she wants to eat, her father will buy it for her if it is healthy. When her mother plays mahjong with the neighbors at home and has no time to play with her, her father will take her there. We go to the zoo to see pandas, elephants, lions and tigers... But why does such a good father turn into a heinous bad guy in the mouth of his mother?
I see that my father treats my mother very well. He buys her all kinds of jewelry, cosmetics and bags. My father does all the housework, and my mother only eats, puts on makeup, goes shopping and plays cards every day. Why is it that my mother is a good person, but my father has become such a good person? Have you killed the bad guy?
Should she be like her mother who doesn't work or do housework, and bullies her father into buying this and that, to be considered a good woman?
Xiaoyuan, who is still young, only less than eight years old, has often thought this way in confusion in the past few years. Although my mother keeps talking bad about my father in front of me, how do I feel that my father is actually a good person and not as bad as my mother said?
She also asked her aunt these questions. But after hearing her questions, the aunt just showed a smile and look that was difficult for her to understand. She stroked her hair affectionately and told her kindly: "You are still a child. It doesn't matter if you don't understand some things. When you grow up, you will gradually know how to judge these things."
"Really? Well, wait until Xiaoyuan grows up and ask her mother and father who are the good guys and who are the bad guys!" The little guy doesn't actually understand very well, but she is very sensible despite being well-behaved. He nodded to his aunt and replied in a voice that still had some milkiness.
But today, she was cheated on by her classmates several times and was dazzled by the queen's crown on the head of a female classmate in the next class who she was close to after school, so she planned to go home and ask her aunt , can you also take her to watch this movie?
"Oh? Xiaoyuan, do you want to watch "Frozen"? It just so happens that my colleagues are recommending this animated movie to me these days, so I will take you and Judy to watch it this weekend!" Auntie is in a good mood today. , it seems that she was praised by the leader in the company or something, and she agreed to the little girl's request immediately, which made her feel very happy. The little depression and homesickness she had felt in the recent period were all wiped out by the sparkling The Queen's Crown was diluted a lot.
"By the way, speaking of which, this movie has something to do with your father~" During dinner, my aunt was cooking in the restaurant.
Two little girls were doing homework on the same desk. Next to them, uncle Kent was sorting out his fishing gear. When he heard his daughter and niece talking about this topic, he couldn't help but make a conversation.
"Ah? It has something to do with my father? Uncle Kent, can you tell me more? I want to know this!" Xiaoyuan's ears immediately stood up when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at the blond man with bright eyes. A tall and strong American uncle with blue eyes.
"Ahem, why did I spill the beans? Your aunt didn't allow me to tell you this..." Kent was a little dazed for a moment, but he soon recovered and touched the back of his head with his hand in embarrassment.
Seeing his daughter looking at him with burning eyes and a curious look on her face, he knew that if he didn't make this matter clear today, his lovely daughter would definitely not let him go easily.
"Let me tell you briefly about this, but don't tell that woman in the kitchen!" Kent looked in the direction of the kitchen. After making sure there was no danger, he cleared his throat and told the two little girls. Let’s talk about the relationship between this movie and Jiang Kan.
"What? You said that the theme song of this movie, the song "letitgo" that everyone knows in the streets and all the girls are singing, was composed by my father?" Xiaoyuan opened her eyes wide. Her big, beautiful eyes flickered at this honest and simple foreign uncle, wanting to get a positive answer from him.
This news is so shocking. Many students are humming this song, especially female students. They all imagine that they can have magic that can control ice and snow, have their own ice and snow palace, and have someone who dares to do it for themselves. The adventurous handsome boy and the beautiful singing voice of the heroine can sing this popular and beautiful song.
Now, my uncle actually told me that the author of this song is his father? For a moment, she didn't know whether it was pride or doubt that filled her heart, but then she was filled with the happiness of hearing the news about her father, and she was eager to hear more news about him.
"Yes, it is true. I also like this song very much but I don't have time to go to the cinema to watch it. Then when colleagues in the company were discussing it, they mentioned that the theme song for this movie was selected from all over the world, and then one A Xia man named Jiang received this honor."
"Because your surname is also Jiang, I curiously checked out this man from Xia Kingdom. Unexpectedly, I found out that he is a singer and songwriter who has just become a star in Xia Kingdom!" Uncle Kent shrugged. He shrugged and continued with his words. It seemed that this topic also aroused his interest in gossip.
The two little girls also sat upright and listened to his story carefully.
"Then I looked up the songs written by Jiang, and then I found a song called
On the website of "Feixing Music Network", we can see a large number of downloads of his songs and a brief introduction to his singing career. "
"They are all very nice songs. You may not understand them yet, but for adults, many of the songs are very good, which makes me more interested in him!" Uncle Kent put away the fish in his hands. Rod and fishing line, while chatting with the two little girls who had put down their pencils and homework books and listened to him attentively about this treasure singer he accidentally discovered.
"Then I was surprised to find that this Mr. Jiang was actually the author of the piano song "To the First TA" that shocked the world! This made me even more excited, so I went to visit several entertainment websites and searched I read about his past and wanted to see who this guy who debuted at the age of forty like me is!" Kent stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at the ceiling, helpless. shrugged.
"Then I discovered that this guy is really a genius. He only started making music at the age of forty, and he has already become a star singer in Xia Kingdom. He is even more outstanding in composition. Many long-established singers have come to him. Invite songs..."
"Even the theme song of the same name for one of my favorite Fuso animated films, Castle in the Sky, was composed by him. He is really a musical genius, an out-and-out genius! "
"Then, I became more interested in him, and I searched for all the news, gossip and gossip about him."
"I read about his experience on a website: He was unemployed at the age of thirty-seven and was kicked out by a gold digger. Not only did he take away most of the family property that he had secretly accumulated over the years, but he also tried to take custody of his daughter... "At this point, Kent's eyes became a little complicated and his tone became slower. Although the two little girls were still young, they could still hear a sense of sympathy for this poor man from his words. Feeling coming.
"I thought about it, isn't this the same experience as you, Xiaoyuan? Your father was forced to divorce by your mother, and then took away the family property and custody rights, but sent you to the United States to study abroad, right? Plus his surname is Jiang..." Kent
"Alas" he let out a long breath and shook his head helplessly and sadly.
"Isn't this your dad? So, kid, I'm sorry for what happened to you and your dad. He didn't deserve to be treated like that - of course I'm lucky that my wife isn't as bad as her sister. woman……"
"Hey, why am I telling an eight-year-old girl this? You may not be able to understand it now..." He rubbed the back of his head and neck with a complicated expression, and untied the fishing rods that he had arranged. The smooth fishing line was put into his precious fishing gear box,
The door closed with a click.
"Kent, dinner is ready and bring the children over to eat! What are you talking to them about?" Zhang Xiaoping's voice came from the kitchen, her tone was a little urgent, but there was no impatience in it. , on the contrary, there is a hint of the wife's coquettishness and charm toward her husband.
"Let's go, kids, have dinner, forget what I just said, and don't tell anyone. You will live very, very happily with us, my little princess." He touched Xiaoyuan's With soft and fluffy hair, he glanced at her lovingly, then turned around and put his hands on his daughter's shoulders, accompanying the two girls to the egg-scented dining room.
This chapter...how should I put it, I almost wanted to cry as I wrote it. Both men and women have irresponsible parents. They avoid the hardships of life and only want to enjoy the sweetness brought by the other person. Both men and women also have irresponsible parents.
I once saw a child whose father was mute. His mother abandoned the family and ran away to Henan when he was three years old. His father worked hard to raise him.
I once saw a child whose mother had just given birth to him three months ago, and his father abandoned them, divorced, and lived a happy life on his own. As a mother, he had to work hard to raise the child.
Coming from the belief that life is higher than life, I hope that in this book of mine, the child Xiaoyuan will be able to be happy in the end.
