Every weekend, Milan will go to Alice's cabin to chat with Alice, which will benefit Milan a lot every time. Milan is from the east and Alice is from the west. The customs of two different places are sometimes similar and sometimes incompatible. When the east and west winds meet, there will be interesting conflicts.
Milan is lively and lovely, and Alice is gentle and intelligent. Alice is not only a friend of Milan, but also a teacher and sister of Milan. She always answers all questions for Milan's life gently and patiently. I can't help but envy Milan, because I never met such a woman in my childhood.
There is a passage in this book that makes me feel complicated. "In the eyes of China's parents, two things are the most important: their children's health and their grades. In the eyes of western parents, one thing is more important than their children's academic performance, that is, getting along with others, family, classmates and friends, and getting along with those you meet by chance. " Academic performance does not make life better. No matter how good you study, you won't get along with others, and you won't communicate with others. Even if you have great skills, how can others know?
Many parents in China will only pursue their grades blindly, regardless of their children's feelings. There is a cram school here and there, and it is useless for children to say anything if they don't want to learn from you. It is better to spend more time cultivating their hobbies and let them learn to get along with others. If you don't understand in your study, you can ask the teacher, ask your classmates, listen carefully in class and study more after class. You can also do some exercises properly to consolidate.
I think this book has taught me that learning to get along with people is a very important course. If a child grows up in a small place, then he can't learn how to treat others.
Milan is good at making friends, but she is a little weak in dealing with others, but she is lucky to meet Alice.
I was deeply impressed by a conversation between Milan and Alice in the book: "Milan: Can a wild flower be a gift?" Alice: Of course it's a gift. In our society, many things are measured by money. However, as a gift, it doesn't need to be measured by money.'
I quite agree with this passage. Maybe you gave me a small handicraft made by yourself, or a painting you drew. Although it doesn't look expensive, you put your heart into it. You spent energy, time and hands as a gift. It means more than the gift you bought.
After reading this book, I know a lot. What I know most is etiquette and dealing with others. "In short, in a word, how to be a popular person and make the world beautiful and warm because of your existence, even if it is only a little bit insignificant." I hope you can confidently say to the world, "Hello, I'm ready".
