Brief introduction of the author

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, a famous Japanese writer, a famous TV presenter and a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF.

After the publication of her masterpiece "Little Peas by the Window" in 198 1, it has aroused great repercussions not only in Japan, but also around the world. By the end of 200 1, the Japanese edition had sold 9.38 million copies, making it the largest selling book in Japanese history. This book has been translated into 33 languages and introduced to all parts of the world. When the English version was published in the United States, The New York Times published two full-page book reviews. This "honor" was not only won by no one before her, but also by no one else after her. The English version of the book has sold more than 700,000 copies in Japan alone, and no one has surpassed it so far.

1984 after reading the English version of "Little Doudou by the Window", UN officials thought that "this person knows children's psychology so well that there is no more suitable candidate than her", so they appointed her as the successor of the internationally famous movie star Audrey? The seventh goodwill ambassador after Hepburn and the first goodwill ambassador in Asian history.

"Little Doudou by the Window" tells a true story of the author in elementary school: Xiao Doudou was expelled from the original school for being naughty and came to Ba Xueyuan. Principal Kobayashi often says to Xiao Doudou, "You are a good boy!" "Under the care and guidance of President Kobayashi, the' weird' small peas in the eyes of ordinary people have gradually become children that everyone can accept. The friendly and easy-going teaching method of Ba Xueyuan has made the children here spend the best time in their lives. This book not only brought countless smiles and touches to tens of millions of readers around the world, but also injected new vitality into the development of modern education and became one of the most influential works in the world in the 20th century. ..

Many people will be surprised to see the little peas by the window. This is the little girl by the window I read when I was a child! Little Doudou appeared like this: I took the tram to my new school with my mother. Xiao Doudou, who has hardly been on the tram, immediately decided to grow up and be a conductor who piled a box of tickets all over the floor! Until yesterday, Xiao Doudou's ambition was to be a spy! What shall we do? Little Doudou came up with a good idea: "Be a spy disguised as a conductor"; Or "I still don't do anything, I want to be a street propagandist!" " "Seeing this, readers who are not married and have children may laugh, what a lovely idea; But I'm afraid my parents are getting dark now. These are unworthy ambitions. China's parents are always used to doing everything for their children, hoping to apply their thinking to their children, but they never thought about whether their life experiences are really useful to their children. Shouldn't children have their own way of thinking and expression? It is true that children should learn to adapt to society, but does adaptation mean the death of personality? The teacher who let Xiao Doudou drop out of school just can't stand that Xiao Doudou is different from other children. In her opinion, a good boy is a good boy. In fact, Xiao Doudou's "misdeeds" are no big deal: don't you just think that the school desk is different from the desk at home, so are you willing to switch it on and off? There is also standing by the window and greeting the passing propagandists in class, or drawing outside the drawing paper. But it is these that make the teacher unbearable. In the teacher's mind, such a child is either troublesome or strange. Fortunately, not all teachers think so (ah, fortunately). Let's see what a really good teacher looks like: Xiao Doudou's beloved wallet fell into the toilet. In order to find it, she found the toilet spoon, then bravely began to scoop things out, and finally piled a hill. The headmaster is coming. He didn't tell Xiao Doudou "What are you doing stupid" or "It's too dangerous, stop quickly", only said: "That's it, you put all these back. "This is trust in children, even the youngest children can feel it. This principal is Mr. Kobayashi, the principal of Ba Xueyuan that Xiao Doudou will never forget. It was he who listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours on the first day of his arrival at Ba Xue Garden. It's him, too. Whenever he sees Xiao Doudou, he will say, "You are a good boy!" " "The Ba Xueyuan he founded has only 50 students. Students have classes in the tram, and every day they have classes to let their children start with their favorite classes. You can go for a walk in the afternoon, and the teacher will teach some knowledge of nature, history and biology while walking; There is a swimming pool, and the headmaster encourages the children to swim naked, because "it is strange for boys and girls to think that each other's bodies are different from their own" and "no matter what kind of bodies are beautiful"-so that even children with physical disabilities will not feel inferior. Everyone who studies education knows these truths, but it is not so easy to really implement them. So President Kobayashi is really admirable, and Xiao Doudou's Ba Xue Garden is also enviable. This may be one of the reasons why Little Peas by the Window has become the best-selling book in Japanese history since it was published by 198 1.

I recommend you to read it. This is a good book.

abstract

Today is a hard day for Xiao Doudou. Because she left her most precious wallet in the school toilet. Although there is no money in the wallet, the wallet itself is Xiao Doudou's favorite, but even going to the toilet is a treasure. The wallet is made of satin, with red, yellow and green plaid patterns, and the shape is flat square. It has a triangular tongue-shaped cover, and where the button should be sewn, a silver Scottish beagle button is sewn, which is as cute as a brooch. In a word, this is a very beautiful wallet.

After going to the toilet, Xiao Doudou always used to bow his head. This is really a strange bad habit, but she has been like this since she was a child. Because of this problem, before Xiao Doudou went to primary school, he had thrown several straw hats and white lace hats into the toilet. At that time, the toilet was not a toilet as it is now, but also a toilet. There is a pool below, and the hat floats in the pool. Therefore, my mother always reminds Xiao Doudou, "Don't look down after going to the toilet."

However, before class this day, Xiao Doudou went to the toilet once and finally couldn't help but look down again. Just then, the precious wallet fell in with a bang, probably because it was not stuffed properly. Small doudou exclaim 1:

"Ah-"

When I looked again, it was dark below and my wallet was out of sight.

But Xiao Doudou didn't cry and say "how did this happen", or simply gave up and didn't want a wallet. Instead, I immediately ran to the warehouse where the janitor (that is, the office boy in the school now) put the tools and took out the long spoon for sprinkling water. Xiao Doudou is still short, and the long handle of the ladle is twice as high as Xiao Doudou, but it doesn't matter. Xiao Doudou wandered deep in the campus, looking for the toilet. I thought it would be near the outer wall of the toilet, but I can't find it anywhere. Finally, Xiao Doudou found a round cement cover on the ground about one meter away from the outer wall. This must be cut out anyway, Xiao Doudou judged. Finally, it took a lot of effort to uncover the lid, and a deep hole appeared below, which was indeed a toilet cut. Small doudou lower the head to say:

"It seems to be as big as the pool of Jiupin Buddha."

So, Xiao Doudou began her vast project. Put the long spoon in your mouth and start to scoop it out. At first, Xiao Doudou estimated the location of the wallet and tried to scoop it up nearby, but the urinal was deep and dark. The toilet was separated by three doors, and there was only one pool below, so it was conceivable that the urinal was very large. Therefore, if the small Doudou's head is too deep, it is in danger of falling in. Therefore, no matter which direction the small peas are, they are dug up. The excavated things were piled up around the incision. Of course, every time you dig a spoonful, Xiao Doudou should check whether the wallet will be mixed in. I thought I would find my wallet soon, but it seems to be hidden somewhere, and I always refuse to show up. At this moment, the bell rang. "What should I do?" Xiao Doudou thought, "It's hard to get here …" He just kept working. Besides, she shoveled it harder than before.

The scooped things piled up into a hill. At this moment, the headmaster walked across the path. When he saw that Xiao Doudou was busy, he asked:

"What are you doing?"

Small doudou didn't stop his work, while scooping replied:

"My wallet fell into the pool."

"Really?"

With that, the headmaster put his hands behind his back and walked away as usual.

After a while, the wallet still didn't appear, but the hill on the ground was getting higher and higher.

At this moment, the headmaster came up again and asked:

"Did you find it?"

Xiao Doudou was sweating profusely and his face was red. There are hills all around him, so he answered "No". Mr. A little closer to the face of Xiao Doudou, he said like a good friend:

"That's it, put all these back, ah."

Say that finish, he walked away like just now.

"Well," replied Xiao Doudou in high spirits, and went on working. Suddenly, Xiao Doudou remembered one thing. She looked at the hill:

"After finished, will take all these back. But what about the water on the ground? "

Indeed, the water in the mountains keeps seeping into the ground and disappeared. Xiao Doudou stopped and thought about how to drain the water that had seeped into the ground according to what the headmaster told him. The result of thinking is: put some soil that has penetrated into the water back, and it will be fine.

As a result, a high hill was piled on the ground, but the urinal was almost empty, but the wallet was still missing. Maybe the wallet is tightly attached to the edge of the urinal, or the bottom of the urinal. However, at this time, Xiao Doudou already felt that "even if his wallet is gone, he is quite satisfied" because he has done so much work. In fact, in the satisfaction with Xiao Doudou, there is another point because "the principal is not angry with what he has done, trusts himself very much and respects himself as a person with great personality". However, at that time, Xiao Doudou didn't realize such complicated psychological activities.

Generally speaking, when adults see what Xiao Doudou is doing, they will say "What are you doing stupid" or "It's too dangerous, stop it quickly". Or an adult with a completely different attitude will say, "Let me help you". However, no one but Mr. President will say, "When you are finished, you should put it all back." Therefore, when my mother heard what Xiao Doudou said, she sincerely praised the President as "a great man".

After this incident, when Xiao Doudou went to the toilet, he never bowed his head again. Moreover, she thinks the headmaster is a "person who can be trusted sincerely", so she likes the headmaster more than before.

Xiao Doudou put the hill back to the original urinal in full accordance with the agreement with the principal. It was hard to dig it out, but it was quickly dug up when it was sent in. Then, Xiao Doudou shoveled out a layer of water-permeable soil with a spoon and sent it to the urinal. Finally, the ground was leveled and covered with concrete, and everything was the same as before, so the long ladle was sent back to the tool room.

That night, before going to bed, Xiao Doudou remembered the beautiful wallet that fell into the darkness, and still felt a little pity. But I was very tired after doing a lot of work during the day, so I fell asleep soon.

At that time, the ground where Doudou fought was still wet, shining in the moonlight like something beautiful.

That beautiful wallet must be quietly somewhere, too.

……

feel

Xiao Doudou, who keeps turning over the desk cover in class, likes to ignore the teacher's lecture, stand by the window and say hello to the propagandist; She didn't draw the sun flag according to the teacher's request in art class, but drew various warship flags; Obviously, she was sent to the station, but she still got to the bottom of it: "Teacher, I was sent to the station, why?" Did I do something bad? " ; She is a headache for all regular school teachers; She was finally ordered to drop out of school in the first grade of primary school for being naughty.

One of the lucky ones-I spent my childhood in an almost idealized school.

Ba Xueyuan uses abandoned trams as classrooms. There is no fixed seat, and you can freely choose your favorite seat according to your mood and convenience every day. There is no fixed schedule. From the first class, the teacher wrote down all the classes to be attended that day and all the questions to be learned in each class on the blackboard, and then said, "Let's start the class, starting with the class you like." In Ba Xueyuan, children have never been taught to walk in a straight line or be quiet on the tram or not to litter. However, in daily life, children unconsciously know a lot, and these concepts have been deeply planted in their hearts. Children in Ba Xueyuan never doodle, because in the music class twice a week, everyone will doodle and write as much as they can, and they have enjoyed doodling enough. In Ba Xueyuan, even after school, children are reluctant to go home. Moreover, the next morning, I was eager to go to school early. Ba Xueyuan is such a charming school, a school that fascinates all children. Xiao Doudou was lucky to spend his childhood there.

Lucky number two-meet a principal who knows how to educate.

Principal Kobayashi, an outstanding educator deeply influenced by European educational thoughts. When we first met, I was a listener of Xiao Doudou for four hours. Every time I talk to Xiao Doudou, I bend down and look him in the eye. In order to prevent students from being picky about food, the theory of "the taste of the mountain, the taste of the sea" was invented, and songs before meals were compiled according to the songs of rowing. In order to make children with physical defects wash away their inferiority complex, it is advocated to take off their clothes and go swimming in the swimming pool. In order to keep Gao, who will never grow up, confident, he carefully planned a special sports meeting, so that he easily won all the first prizes, and set the prize of the competition as vegetables, so that children could taste the taste of success. He often says to Xiao Doudou, "You are a good boy." He often says "you can do it" to Gao. Two simple sentences have deeply influenced their lives. Xiao Doudou is lucky because she met a headmaster who knows how to educate.

Lucky number three-having a mother who understands herself.

Mother is great. When they bring new life to the world, we will use the word "great" to describe them. Although great women give life to their children, not all mothers understand their children with their hearts. So Xiao Doudou is lucky because she has such a mother. When she learned that Xiao Doudou was ordered to drop out of school, she didn't say angrily to Xiao Doudou, "What's the matter? I can't believe you're quitting school! We must find another school. If we drop out of school again, no school will want you again! " Instead, he silently looked for a new school and said to Xiao Doudou, "Let's go to the new school and have a look. I heard that it is very good there! " Let Xiao Doudou walk into the new school without inferiority. When Xiao Doudou was drilling barbed wire to break clothes, he lied to his mother and said, "When I was walking on the road just now, other children threw knives at my back, so it became like this." Although I didn't believe that the knife cut my clothes, I just said, "Oh, really? This is too scary. " Because my mother thinks that even Xiao Doudou has to make excuses, which she has never seen before. It can be seen that she doesn't want to break this dress because she cares. What a good boy. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, it is a very special idea, even a little ah q, but it profoundly shows that mothers are trying to understand their children and treat their children's careless mistakes with a tolerant attitude, which is really admirable.

Only the harmonious development of family, school and society can bring up an excellent child. We have no way to evaluate the social background of Xiao Doudou. Fortunately, she really has these two perfect powers, which are enough to achieve her outstanding life in the future. As an educator, maybe we don't have the strength to make the children around us lucky to have a perfect family, and we can't change our social environment. But we should try our best to bring children good luck in another field. Treat every child with tolerance, believing that when God closes one door for one person, he will also open another door for him. Treat every child with heart and build a Ba Xue Garden for children with love.
