Heidi: A fairy tale that can only understand when we grow up

"Everyone laughs at me because I want to write stories"


"That's because everyone knows too little, and you have seen the bigger world. If you think there are things in this world that will make you happy, just do it, no matter what others say."


The conversation between the old lady and Heidi made me constantly reflect on the current society. When you want to follow your inner voice, you can always hear some doubts, unsightly or even ridicule, and then we are scared and take back the footsteps of wanting to go out. As we grow up, we always care too much about others' evaluations of ourselves, and it is even difficult to judge whether these evaluations are right or wrong. It turns into an emotion that only desires everyone to identify with ourselves, and forgets the world that others see and what we see. Different, so that we have different ideas when we look at a thing.


The combination of clean and pure Alps and Heidi is so beautiful that when I see her bright smile, I will forget that she had experienced her parents' early life. After 5 years of adoption, the aunt threw it to the grandfather who seemed to not eat the fireworks. She was later sold to an aristocratic family as a companion girl by her aunt.


A person experiencing an unbearable past for ordinary people should be full of resentment towards society. Like this aristocratic lady, her mother had an early life, she was seriously ill and disabled, and her father was on business trips all the year round. It was hard to find a playmate she liked. She had only one thought. Take Heidi as his own at all costs, for the rest of his life. "You all go, all leave me." This is the truest voice in her heart and her resentment towards the family. What she has felt most for a long time is not love, but being abandoned, even if she lives in a palace-like home.


However, who can say that Heidi's journey is more pathetic? But she chose to treat everyone and everything around her with heart and sincerity at every stage. The grandma who had met once, she saw the soft bread and put it away and brought it to the toothless grandma. How much kindness and sincerity a person has to put in his heart to miss others, especially those who are only one-sided. Then Heidi taught us to live in an unfortunate environment. In addition to being struggling, we can also face it with heart and sincerity. Even if we cannot change the people around us, we can still retain the pure land of inner kindness and happiness.
