Chapter 27 Talk about "The Ant Paves the Road" and "Give the Chicken an Injection"

After reading dozens of articles about the juvenile composition competition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, I feel that each article has its benefits. If I introduce each article, my energy and time will not allow me to do that.Now I can only pick out one or two articles that impressed me deeply after I read them, and talk about my impressions after reading them. These two articles are "Ants Pave the Road" written by Wang Qiang, a classmate of Beijing No. 4 Middle School, and Damian SBtun Primary School in Changping County. "Injecting a Chicken" written by Wu Yingjian, a fifth-grade student.

These two articles are not too long, but their themes are very novel, the thinking is very smooth, the structure is very rigorous, and the writing of emotions and situations is also very real, which makes people read it in one breath with great interest. "Ants Paving the Road" was inspired by a group of children seeing ants climbing a tree under the moonlight and noticing the activities of ants.Children are most interested in insect activities, especially group activities.When I was young, watching ants moving or fighting, I would squat on the ground for an hour or two, eliciting various feelings.This article is about children seeing ants climbing a tree in groups. Someone tried to block their way, so they used glue to paint a circle around the treeside. Go, just make a mess.A relatively small ant stuck to it, and struggled desperately. Fortunately, the little sister Xiaomei pinched it and put it on the ground... The other ants walked back in an orderly manner.The next morning, the children saw a road paved with sand where the glue had been applied on the tree last night.It turned out that the ants below brought sand and paved a road for the partners to get out of the predicament and return home!The author was moved by their indomitable and united fighting spirit. He "suddenly felt that the narrow path paved with sand on the tree trunk seemed to be shining under the sunlight".Next, he thought of "... the building of a beautiful communism requires paving the way. The road ahead is not smooth" and will encounter many obstacles. "However, as long as we have the spirit of ants paving the way, we will surely succeed." Pave a golden road leading to communism." The whole article was written in one mouthful, firmly grasping the matter of ants paving the road, and writing it down with all my heart. From a very small thing, I got a big education. I think this It's a very good way of writing!

The "I" in "Give an Injection to the Chicken" is very concerned about the collective. When he heard the noise in the chicken coop in the front yard, he hurried to check it out.When the veterinarian and the breeder asked him to help catch the chickens for injections, he readily accepted, but the stench in the chicken coop made him feel sick, and catching the chickens was not an easy task.This passage is very well described and very true, "When I approached the flock of chickens and wanted to catch them, the flock of chickens exploded with a 'boom', flying wildly. The chicken feathers and dust were all rolled up...chicken excrement , The dust stained my face, choked me out of breath. The flying hens bumped and bumped on my head, and one hen landed on my head, kicked a few times, and flew away again. I’m gone, and I don’t know what to do in this chaotic situation.” This section of the difficult scene of catching chickens in a dark and small chicken coop is very realistically written.It also wrote that he suddenly slipped and sat on the ground, his pants and hands were covered with chicken feces, "My face was dripping with sweat, I wiped the sweat with my hands, the sweat mixed with chicken feces, and it smelled even worse This is indeed a test for a child who has never been a breeder and loves cleanliness, but after hearing what the breeder said, he thought that this flock of chickens is the collective property of the production team. If the chickens are not vaccinated, When he got a disease, it was a big loss, so he didn't care about it. He finally sent hundreds of chickens to the hands of the veterinarian and completed the task of giving chickens injections.In the end, he wrote, "When I walked out of the chicken coop, the stars in the sky were extraordinarily bright. They kept blinking, as if they were smiling at me, and seemed to be saying something to me. I walked home happily." I think the ending is well written too.

I often get letters from children asking me how to write good articles. I have always believed that only articles about real things and feelings can arouse readers’ sympathy and resonance, and only articles about real situations can be lively; Therefore, the composition can neither imitate plagiarism nor be pretentious. It can narrate the real situation naturally, and can see the big from the small. Like the above two compositions, it is a good example.July 30, 1979
