There is no great hero who saves the world here, only small animals that help each other

This year's summer is extremely hot, and the North Pole White Bear has become a Arctic Red Bear.

Recently, a video on the Internet has aroused discussion among netizens. In the video, a polar bear curled up in the corner. The white fur in the original impression became brown -red. Everyone suspected that the zoo treats polar animals.

Later, under the popular science of bloggers, we learned that the hairy of the polar bears was transparent. When they felt cool and comfortable, the hair was white, but when they felt hot, the hair would turn reddish brown.

The misunderstanding was solved, but this incident also made everyone more and more concerned about the current status of polar bears.

From ten years ago, discussions on "Polar Bear Extinction" have not stopped. A study in 2018 shows that the world may increase by 4 ° C in 2100, and most polar bears may disappear by then. It is reported that polar bear may be extinct within 40 years.

A pile report is worrying. Fortunately, many people protect the polar bears in their health and let more people know and like this cute creature.

The Dutch painter Hans Bill shaped a vivid little polar bear Lalus with simple and warm pictures and stories.

During the publishing of the "Little Polar Bear Series" books, the little polar bears walked into the home of thousands of children, allowing children to have a optimistic, brave, and righteous little polar bear ...

Thirty -five years of small polar bears

Li Rui

In the mid -1980s, Hans Bill, a Dutch college student who studied art in Amsterdam, wanted to create his own graduation work with the theme of "small animals in travel". He goes to the zoo every week, and in many animal images, he chose a small polar bear as the protagonist of his story. He tried to draw eight small pictures first, and the teachers and students liked it very much. So he decided to finish the story.

In 1986, Hans Bill brought his graduation work to the Bologna International Children's Book Fair in Italy. He saw Brigitte Sidjianski, one of the founders of the North South Society in Switzerland, and introduced her The story of the polar bear.

The publisher looked at this work. The elegant and clear watercolor appeared extremely natural and fresh on the granular painting paper. There was a kind of permanent sense of the time that was not limited. She also liked the idea of ​​the whole story and immediately decided to publish. In this way, Hans Bill's debut was published by North South Society in German in 1987.

Since then, the little polar bear has led the children from the Arctic covered by the ice and snow to meet all kinds of animal friends during the trip. Today, the adventure story of the little polar bear has been published in 12 volumes (Simplified Chinese version to compile 12 volumes into 6 volumes) one after another) to sell tens of millions of copies worldwide, and has been translated into 35 languages.

In 1992, the little polar bear walked from the picture book into the screen of millions of households. Its story was shot into a cartoon in the famous German children's show "Die Sendung Mit der Maus". In 2001, the animated film of the same name of "Little Polar Bear" was released in Germany and was released in the United States and Britain in 2003. At the same time, other stories of small polar bears have been adapted into animated movies. In 1999 and 2008, Germany and Switzerland also issued small polar bear stamps. The little polar bear has become a star in the hearts of several generations of German children.

Children like Lars, probably because they saw themselves from Lals. Lars is full of energy, naughty and cute, and is curious about the world, but he will also encounter difficulties, fear, and think home. At the same time, Lals was very righteous. When he encountered a small animal, he would not hesitate to help them. In the words of the author, "Lalus has a golden heart."

In the story of 12 small polar bears, he has repeatedly embarked on a new journey to help others and get the help of others. He will also encounter difficulties, but in the end he can always turn danger, just like the sentence he often said: "I often get lost, but in the end they can always be safe at home." And the children saw it through Ras's eyes and saw it. The beautiful Arctic also deeply appreciated the crisis brought by climate change to small polar bears and animals on the earth. We have to admire the author about this issue more than 30 years ago, and at the same time, we chose a way to understand the understanding of children.

The magnificent problem of "climate warming" is very specific in Lals. In "Little Polar Bear Adventure", the snow of the Arctic became fragile and the ice became fragile. The ice of the little polar bear who was sleeping next to his father was broken. When Lals woke up from his dream, he found that he was floating in the middle of the sea. The isolation and helpless picture makes it easy for small readers to feel the same.

In "Three Little Polar Bears Going Home", due to the frequent entry and exit of the original North Pole, the fish group disappeared, and the survival crisis faced by his friends became more urgent. However, the author did not stay here to make moral judgment on humans, but let the little polar bear play a curious adventure to overcome difficulties and discover the new world.

Also in this book, human beings rescued two babies of polar bears and did a good thing for the Arctic. Such ideas not only remind children to care about the earth, but also avoid the psychological pressure caused by moral crusade to small readers, and at the same time inspire children to think: humans with strong wisdom and technology may be both the destructors of the environment and the protection of nature. By. How should we use our own abilities, deal with the relationship with nature, and the relationship with animals? This problem is like a stone in the child's heart lake, and the ripples that arouse may reach a far place.

Pascale Blatter, the editor of the Swiss Book Industry, analyzed the success of the "little polar bear" from the perspective of children's cognitive habits. "Each story of this series has a similar beginning: Little Polar Bear played alone in the snow and snow. Then, an adventure started in a way like a child game. Children often digest the inner fear and real adventure game by simulating realistic adventure games. Experience. In the adventure story of small polar bears, it is mainly facing the problem of warming climate and environmental damage. "Hans Bill clever uses this kind of peering psychology to easily understand the situation of small polar bears.

In terms of composition, she analyzed this: "The Lars we see is always a small one, a little confused in a large picture. According to the usual publishing ideas, this furry and cute bear should be in it should be in The picture is enlarged a lot, at least it must occupy a large position on the cover to attract attention. But whether it is objective or emotional, this is not consistent with a child's situation. Agree with the small polar bear on the cover. Although such a picture seems a bit subversive and even a little stubborn, he defends the child's perspective without compromise. Therefore, the little reader will feel particularly respected when he watch his work. "

"New Zurich" children's book critics, publishers, and illustrated theory scholars Hans Ten Doornkaat (Hans Ten Doornkaat) commented on the 25th anniversary of the "Polar Bear Series":

"Little North Bear has been loved by readers of various small schools without controversy. His continuity success cannot be attributed to a single reason. Although the little polar bear has done a lot of bravery, it always makes people can't help protect it. . It always moves under a vast sky, often located at a quarter of the pages of the book. It walks on the single wooden bridge shaking, and it looks very small against the background. Traveling in the world makes people want to walk through the picture to embrace it into my arms. I have to do everything and need to be embraced at the same time. This is more like a child! Every parent must learn to deal with children. Two types of coexistence. "

35 years later, the father of the little polar bear became a world -renowned illustrator step by step from a young college student. The first batch of children who read this set of books had also been parents and introduced the little polar bear to their children. And Lars, it is still the cute polar bear child, about four or five years old.

In the story of our familiar little polar bears, there are no superheroes who save the world, only small animals that help each other, kind and brave. In this newly launched "Three Little Polar Bear Going Home", the little polar bear and the new friends seal and Haiyan started their brains and recaptured the Yuwan belonging to everyone from the human strong ship iron armor.

In "Little Polar Bear Adventure", the little polar bear came to China by mistake and hit a boat. I saw our national treasure panda in the beautiful bamboo forest. The Great Wall of Wanli. I believe that our Chinese children have seen this trip to China in China, and they must be very kind and surprised!

In the past, little polar bears also traveled around the world to show us different natural scenery. But this time, Lars came to a country for the first time, and the Great Wall was the first to clearly appear human landscape. For small readers in other countries, this is also a good opportunity to know China.

Thanks to the little North Bear Lalus for 35 years with us, and I am looking forward to Little Laers take us to see a wider world. It was the future of Lals and the beautiful future of every little reader.
