Thoughts on Reading "The Beating Flame"

Everyone has heard the story "Little Match Girl". Whenever I hear this story, I always think of a book I have read, The Beating Flame.

Xiaoyu, she is a child worker in Xingye Match Factory. Work in the factory from six in the morning and go home at eight in the evening. Fourteen hours. The boss of the factory had to work longer hours. Wei, director of the packaging workshop, tampered with the clock to slow it down. Xiaoyu can't wait to step out of the workshop and go home for the New Year, but the wall clock on the wall hasn't reached eight o'clock yet. Xiaoyu's neighbor Jin Guixiang refused to accept Wei's control and simply exposed Zhong's tampering. Just then, Guo Huayu, the general manager of the factory, walked into the workshop. He is bent on becoming the "match king", but the workers all say that money is his father and his father is a bastard. As long as it is for money, he can sell his ancestors clean. Xiaoyu is a child laborer. Everyone is off work, and the workmates stay to clean the workshop. Xiaoyu hid behind the door and eavesdropped on Guo Huayu's conversation with Wei. I heard that they want to increase working hours to get gold. But what about the workers? If you don't have enough to eat, you can't wear warm clothes. Work for him. Therefore, when the workers went on strike collectively, Guo Huayu reluctantly agreed not to increase working hours and abolished the "three noes" regulation. Very not easy out of the factory, jade came home, jiaozi has been wrapped, sent to the two ya home. But because Er Ya's younger brother has a high fever, he can't pass this pass. Er Ya's family is poor and has no money to see a doctor. Xiaoyu risked her life to go back to the factory to get some matches. She has been lighting matches at Er Ya's house, but it's no use. Then Xifeng came, and she saved Er Ya's little brother. Later, Guo Huayu's wife asked Xiaoyu to go to her house to feed the cat. Xiaoyu didn't want to go, but for the sake of everyone, she went to Guo Huayu's house. In fact, Mrs. Guo Huayu let Xiaoyu go to his house to feed the cat, just an excuse. In fact, she wants to know what Xifeng is doing. Xiaoyu pretends not to know anything. And quietly provided information to Xifeng.

Finally, the producer of * * * came, and Xiaoyu's fantasy paradise came. But Er Ya is dead. Er Ya flew to another heaven. ...

Xiaoyu, what a common name. Xiaoyu, what an ordinary person. But she dared to fight against fate. Er Ya, she is a lovely and ordinary girl.

The era of Xiaoyu has long passed, but the spirit of Xiaoyu will always be in the hearts of the world.
