Features: Dear little friends: You may say, "I know! I know! My parents love me, and I love them too!" Some little friends might also say, "I know, love means romantic love, and in English, it's called LOVE." What little friends say is all correct. However, Sister Juping is introducing a book to you today that tells a story about "love being a gift." In our story, the protagonist Dr. Manette's daughter Lucy falls in love with the French nobleman Darnay. The Marquis St. Evremonde, Darnay's father, had once persecuted Dr. Manette. Because Dr. Manette loves his daughter, he chooses to forget his hatred and suffering, allowing her to marry the son of his enemy. Young British lawyer assistant Carton also loves Miss Lucy, but after learning that Lucy has fallen in love with someone else, he chooses to step back and give his beloved sincere blessings. When Miss Manette's husband is unjustly imprisoned due to the crimes of his ancestors and faces death, Carton, who has been silently standing by, bravely steps forward. For the happiness of others, he sacrifices his young life. We hope that after carefully reading this book, little friends will gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of "love."
