Losing is part of living... However, some things continue to live even if they are lost, and that is the power of love.

Christmas Piggy: The latest work from "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, nothing is ever lost. Because of love, let us live forever!

If you like the animated "Toy Story", then you can't miss " Christmas Piggy ".



■ A night of miracles and overturning defeats

A slightly slow-burning novel.

When I read through it for the first time, I just thought it was just a daily routine, so I put it aside for now; when I read it again, I read it until the 7th chapter, and the highlights appeared, until the 13th chapter " The Night of Miracles and Overturning Defeat ", it gave me a familiar feeling—— The magic mommy who tells the best stories is back!

The "night" just mentioned is Christmas Eve, which is different from Dickens's " A Christmas Carol " which uses " doing good " to commemorate the day. The story is packaged with realism; JK Rowling uses her fantasy writing style to give " hope" Infused with this festival, after reading it, I feel like I am reborn and my soul is cleansed.

On this day, a "miracle" happened. The objects came to life and made sounds, leading the little boy to bravely venture into the city of lost things, trying to "turn the tables" and save his most beloved toy...



■ Collecting and releasing lost items

In this imaginative narrative stage, you encounter all kinds of lost things on the way , from no one mourning to being missed by the beloved, from physical objects to abstract beliefs, the levels progress; tell stories without preaching, and tell the reasons why they were abandoned. The memory of the owner, the uneasiness and confusion about one's own situation, some parts are reminiscent of several scenes in the animation "Toy Story", but they extend deeper and wider.

"Christmas Piggy" Catalog

Looking carefully at the catalog, I can't help but admire JK Rowling's "sense of planning". She must first sort out the different contexts behind various lost objects in her mind, and then tailor the carriers (scenes) for them. Based on this, she can create the unconstrained " Creativity" pushed to the extreme.

⚠️ The sense of planning is to collect, and the creativity is to release. The collection and release should be done in a measured way, rather than writing without boundaries.

Plot twists, foreshadowing, and the transformation and growth of the protagonist are all the elements that a good story should have . It is another manifestation of "good planning"; I can't say that it is a stunning success (the ending of the character can be vaguely predicted), but that My heart tightened, and I was so moved that I couldn't hide it or deceive it. I kept saying that I was old-school, but I always fell into the trap .

Let go of your hands openly and face the loss calmly; cherish those things around you that silently contribute to you but are taken for granted by you - there is gain in loss, there is loss in gain, this is life.

Finally, I quote a passage from the book about what is gained after disappearance .

 Losing is part of living... However, some things continue to live even if they are lost, and that is the power of love.
