Can we still hear Christmas bells?

At Christmas, I watched a movie, "The Polar Express," and read a book, "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree."

When I watched the movie "The Polar Express", it always made people laugh at the end: Dad picked up the little bell that Santa Claus gave, shook it, and there was no sound. However, when the two children picked up the small bell and shook it, they heard the crisp and pleasant sound of "Ding Lingling"! However, after laughing, I feel regret: when we grow up, can we really hear the Christmas bell? Have you really lost the joy of childhood? This movie gives us a chance to return to our childhood.

I remembered the end of "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree", the little sweet orange tree that once gave the little protagonist Zeze infinite surprises and tenderness, could talk and listen to his troubles, the first flower bloomed. After the little white flower, it turned into an ordinary little tree with thorns all over its body-every time I read this, I always shed tears for the tender and joyful childhood I once had. Zeze is only 5 years old, and he has become an "adult" who can't hear Christmas bells like us, and can't understand Xiaoshu's whisper. So sometimes I think, like Peter Pan, never grow up, always listen to the Christmas bells, always whisper to the little tree, how wonderful it would be!

Merry Christmas to everyone! May you all have a pair of ears that can hear the Christmas bells!

    To be honest, I don't like the didactic elements in it. I write about children from an adult's perspective, and use a shit bell as a metaphor for innocence, which is too sensational! I've never been interested in bells, I'm only interested in chocolate, toys!

    It's a pity that the content of the original book was overwhelmed by gorgeous and empty pictures. I was going to give a very poor score, but after thinking about it, there is a good idea as a foundation, so encourage it!

The Polar Express quotes

  • [last lines]

    Hero Boy: At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.

  • The Conductor: There would be no Christmas without the Polar Express arriving on time! Am I the only one who understands that?

    [He sees the Hero Boy]

    The Conductor: You! I should have known. Young man, are you bound and determined that this train never reaches the North Pole?

    Hero Girl: But, look!

    [the Conductor sees that all of Caribous]

    The Conductor: Caribou Crossing?

    Smokey: I make this herd to be at least a 100,000, maybe even a million. It's going to be hours before they clear this track!

    Steamer: A tough nut to crack!

    The Conductor: We are in some serious jelly!

    Smokey: And a jam!

    Steamer: Tight spot!

    Smokey: Up a creek!

    Steamer: Up a tree!

    Smokey: Lost In the grass!

    Steamer: I'll tell you what's grass: our a...
