This book tells the story of "The Story of Dong Go." "Little Kids Cinema" is another innovative new product launched by Jilin Fine Arts Publishing House under its Little Kids series. It includes ten famous Chinese and foreign children's fairy tales, fables, and traditional virtue stories such as The Crow and the Water Pot, Pulling the Radish, The Three Little Pigs, The Tortoise and the Hare, Little Rabbit, The Wolf Is Coming, The Story of Dong Go, Waiting for a Rabbit to Come Out of a Bush, Sima Guang Breaks a Jar, and Kong Rong Gives Up His Pear. These stories have been passed down through generations and loved by young readers because, in addition to teaching children basic moral lessons, they also reflect the beautiful moral sentiments of the Chinese nation and even all of humanity. For example, The Crow and the Water Pot tells the story of a thirsty crow that finally finds a way to drink water, showing that wisdom often triumphs over strength. Pulling the Radish, a children's fairy tale popular in many countries, has a clear meaning—it teaches that "many hands make light work" and that unity is strength. In The Tortoise and the Hare, the rabbit, who is naturally good at running, is much faster than the turtle. However, in the race, the rabbit loses to the turtle. The reason is that the rabbit fell asleep during the race, and his arrogant and self-satisfied attitude hurt him. In The Story of Dong Go, the scholar applies the principle of "universal love" to a wolf, leading to misfortune. This teaches young readers that even in human relationships, such problems exist—people should genuinely love others but should not spare those like wolves. In Waiting for a Rabbit to Come Out of a Bush, the farmer treats a one-time event as a common occurrence, seeing it as an inevitable law. This shows that he is baseless and very reckless. That's why he did the foolish thing of sitting under a tree every day waiting for a rabbit while neglecting his crops. The Story of Sima Guang vividly reflects that Sima Guang was diligent from a young age, loyal to his friends, calm and composed in emergencies, and also intelligent and clever. Kong Rong Gives Up His Pear praises Kong Rong for his kindness and humility, even though he was young, and for his willingness to endure personal loss to share the benefits with others.
