The day before yesterday, the weather was very hot. Shui Suzi asked her dear husband to get out of the car and specially brought me two of her new books, "I'm Not an Ugly Little Girl" and "Lin Xiaoxiao's Secret Base". With these two books that exude childlike fun and cuteness, I am truly happy for her.
I remember one day at the end of the year before last, Shui Suzi and I went to a reading event, and she rode with me in my car. She said, you publish several novels a year, but all I write are fairy tales. I can’t write this novel. I said that novels are about telling small details, that is, telling a good story. Of course, it is not about telling it plainly, but it must have a twists and turns in the plot, so that it can be fascinating. Shui Suzi said, I really want to write a novel, but I don’t know where to start? I said, then you should write children's novels. I think your fairy tales are poetic and picturesque, so I believe your children's stories can also be interesting.
Now I have read two of her fairy tales, and they are truly beautiful. Shui Suzi humbly said that she could not write novels. It turned out that she was pretending to be a primary school student in front of me. She is not only a fairy tale writer, but also a children's story writer. Jin Ben, senior editor and reporter of China Youth Daily, said: "What will be brewed by writers + teachers + children? Zhou Caihong gave the answer: spiritual nourishment. Her literary works are such high-quality spiritual nourishment."< /p>
Zhou Caihong, whose pen name is Shui Suzi, is a member of the Jiangsu Writers Association and an excellent reading promoter. She has published fairy tale collections "Trash Can and Stray Cats" and "Strawberry Family", as well as a picture book collection "Let Children Win" "On the Starting Line", "Cultivation of Good Baby Etiquette", etc.
"I'm Not an Ugly Little Ya" consists of 4 short stories. I made an amazing discovery. The last one, "Lotus Island", I personally participated in because I was the one who accompanied Shui Suzi there. She had never been to Lianhua Island before. When she first came to Lianhua Island, everything she saw was strange. That day she took a notebook and pen and walked and wrote all the way. When we came there When I was visiting an ancient well, she said that I wanted to write the story of the White Dragon on Lotus Island. I said, in the legend, the white dragon is not a good thing, it wants to eat people. Shui Suzi said, that won't work, I want to reshape the white dragon and turn it into a good dragon.
So, how did Shui Suzi shape the little white dragon?
"Lotus Island" tells the same story: the owner of the island, the red rhino, as well as the pink elephant, the big black bear, and the Pipi monkey live happily on Lotus Island, while the little white dragon used to live in the sea. Because he was disobedient, he was expelled from the East China Sea by the Sea Dragon King. Little White Dragon fell in love with Lotus Island, a geomantic treasure land, and the story unfolds...
Most writers will write about Little White around that ancient well. Shui Suzi jumped out of the ancient well and wrote about the vast world outside, about Little White Dragon coming from the East China Sea, and about Little White Dragon changing his ways from evil to right.
Adults may raise many questions about this kind of story, but children will definitely like this children's story and this naughty little white dragon.
Another children's story "Lin Xiaoxiao's Secret Base" also consists of four short stories. Among them, the article "Lin Xiaoxiao's Secret Base" tells the story of Lin Xiaoxiao's transformation from a boy who didn't like studying and didn't like going to class to a boy who takes classes seriously, likes to read, and likes to write compositions.
Shui Suzi is a fairy tale writer. She always has children in her heart, so her fairy tales are so uplifting and beautiful!
