"The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" [The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse] has become a popular emotional picture book for adults and children under the recommendation of many stars and book clubs, and it is on various lists. are nominated. There are many healing picture books now, but the moment I opened it, I was still attracted by the power of ink painting.

Perhaps influenced by Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy, he was subtly fascinated by the blank space and vagueness of ink painting. That kind of feeling is different from oil painting or fine brushwork. It is more of a way of looking at the world, and it is a bit like a myopia who has taken off his glasses, or the world in the eyes of a tearful person. Yes, the older I get, the more I realize that the tearful moments in life will follow one after another. Sometimes, in the blur, we even forget the true outline of life. The real beauty seems to disappear under the blurred lines, and the blank space also looks desolate and desolate. Lonely, but perhaps we have forgotten that the outline of life in the blur is still sharp and angular, it just needs to stop, stop, and experience it with heart and Zen.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a day when advertisers are full of "home" and "reunion". Eating moon cakes will remind you of the days when you were a child, but more often you will think, what exactly is "home"? As a child, I have never forgotten my father's question, "I don't understand how our family has become like this?" The person who destroys this family" feeling, is it a child? Is "home" the one that binds me, or the one I choose? Are children really the culprit in destroying a "home"? Until I read this page-

 Home isn't always a place is it? 
Home isn't necessarily always a place, is it?

"Home" is a feeling, a feeling of warmth and harbor; "Home" is those around you who love you, friends, relatives, and even strangers who give you warmth and support when you are hurt; "Home" can sometimes become The blue in the ink wash contains all the turbulence in melancholy. "Home" has never had a simple definition.

In this way, I fell in love with this ink and wash emotional picture book. Sitting quietly, thinking about my home that is being perfected day by day, looking forward to the future, I can protect myself and become a warm home for my children. 😊

Every page has its little wisdom, and some sentences are short, but I have thought about them over and over again--

People say, "The words you say to your children will become the inner voice of the children." Now, more and more aware of this, I need to unlearn the words that have hurt me for 30 years, the words that hurt the love around me As a human being, if there is such a school, I must be the first to report.

However, unlearning is unlearning. Sometimes, we are trapped in our learned pattern and cannot think. In fact, when we grow up, the shackles on our feet have been shed. The baby elephant, who has been shackled for a lifetime, can't walk farther than the shackles after the shackles are removed from the feet. Sometimes it is us. In fact, the freedom we really have is that we can freely choose our response to an event, a person—

To jump out, only the shell of the silkworm chrysalis that has been wrapped in it for a lifetime. Get out of the cocoon!

It is true that it is easy to change yourself. Sometimes, it is only during the change that you discover your strength. However, when a strong person is still vulnerable, remember the person around you who hugs you——

Also remember to close your eyes and hug the little child who has been hurt in your heart.

In this ink painting book, most of the sketches are in black and white, and only the fox is in fiery red. Its presence energizes boys, moles, and horses. In their pictures, I see silent companionship, but I don't have to worry about which one will leave.

Forget those voices who always say you don't do enough, don't do enough, the real "home" loves you as who you are, not as how much you do.

 Mole asks: What is your biggest discovery?
It's enough for me to be myself, the boy said.

Enough, you've done enough.

Ink and wash seem to blur the outline, but what I see in the tranquility is the outline of life that gradually becomes clear in the blur. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think about "home" and miss "home", and I also eat a mooncake with a sensational packaging and unavoidable vulgarity 🥮. Wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
