Features: The "Contemporary Chinese Classic Animation Series" presents China's excellent animated films in a comprehensive manner through the form of books paired with original VCDs. It allows more readers to appreciate the fine culture of the Chinese nation; helps adults relive their childhood memories; enables young readers to experience Chinese culture and be nurtured and educated by the Chinese spirit through Chinese stories and images; and also hopes to inspire Chinese animation filmmakers to create more animated films with Chinese style and national charm, shape more Chinese cartoon stars, and recreate the glory of Chinese animation through a review of outstanding animated films. This book mainly discusses the content of four films:
Film 1: It tells the story of a lovable and kind snow child who bravely saves a little rabbit from a fire, only to melt into clear water in the process. The snow child is the embodiment of ideals, with a heart as pure as his snow-white body and as clear as the pool of water he becomes. The selfless sacrifice of the snow child brings children feelings of moved and regret, while it makes adults contemplate the meaning of life.
Film 2: It tells the story of a rabbit who is afraid of cold, who, with the encouragement and help of his mother and friends, exercises to overcome the harsh winter. For children, this story seems to just tell them to exercise, but its deeper meaning is to help people realize their own potential. Believe in yourself, and with the right methods, you can achieve the miracles you once dared not to believe.
Film 3: Using the physical phenomenon of "echo," it vividly illustrates the simple principle that if you want others to respect you, you must first respect others. Echo is actually your own voice—you hear what you say; you do good deeds and receive good rewards; you speak ill words, and the foul language returns to you immediately. This lesson has a greater guiding significance for adults than for children.
Film 4: It tells the story of a little rabbit and a kangaroo who buy tickets for the Forest Park amusement park and correct their mistake of evading the ticket fee. It illustrates that honesty and correcting one's mistakes are fundamental virtues of a person. It seems easy to be honest in ordinary times, but when faced with real temptations, it requires considerable courage. To admit and correct one's mistakes is the greatest virtue.
