Every time I see my son Colin, whose face is as beautiful as his mother's, it will cause greater sadness, so he chooses to escape and wander around all the year round.
Mary, whose parents died of cholera, became an orphan overnight and was sent from India to live in Uncle kleven's estate in Yorkshire, England.

The secret garden, which had been sleeping for ten years, woke up with their efforts.

Here and there, there are golden, purple and white splashes everywhere, and a tree is held on his head. "
Flowers are in full bloom here, the grass is lush, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and the air is filled with refreshing fragrance. They play happily in the secret garden and grow up healthily.

Colin also won a long-lost father's love.

Creation background
The romantic trend of thought, which came into being at the end of18th century and reached its peak in the first half of the 9th century, has been greatly dissatisfied with the rationalism advocated by the Enlightenment and deeply worried about human conquest of nature. Romantic writers take nature as the aesthetic object, and use imagination, exaggeration, metaphor and other writing techniques to describe the harmonious scene of mutual integration and mutual induction between man and nature, express the natural view and ecological view of harmony between man and nature, and call on human beings to return to nature through bold exaggeration, fiction and imagination.
Praise and closeness to nature are the most common themes in romantic literature. Romanticism opened up the later ecologism in the view of nature. Since modern times, the alarm of environmental crisis has been ringing frequently, and human beings have begun to realize the serious consequences brought by anthropocentrism, so ecological holism came into being.
Ecological holism is based on the ecological thoughts of Rousseau, Darwin and Engels. It advocates the integrity of man and nature, opposes the binary opposition between man and nature, opposes the conquest and control of nature, violates the laws of nature, advocates the control of man's desires, and advocates material simplification and spiritual enrichment.
Modern ecologism has absorbed Heidegger's ecological philosophy of harmony between man and nature and poetic dwelling, which is the best idea of ecologism on the relationship between man and nature.
This idea continued to develop, and eco-criticism prevailed in the 1990s. The most striking feature of ecological criticism is ecological holism, which opposes putting the interests of human beings above the overall interests of the ecosystem, and regards whether it is conducive to protecting the integrity, harmony, balance and sustainable existence of the ecosystem as the basis for measuring everything and as the standard for judging human lifestyle, scientific and technological progress, economic growth and social development.
Ecological holism opposes anthropocentrism, the plundering of natural resources by human beings in order to satisfy their infinite desires, and the relationship between man and nature's conquest and conquest, transformation and transformation.
The Secret Garden was created under the influence of the Romantic Movement.
Burnett has several walled gardens around his home in England. One of them is her outdoor study, which is her "own house". The Secret Garden was also created by her inspiration when she arranged her own garden in Long Island, new york on 1909.
