After reading Biography of Hulan River in winter vacation 1 I read a book called Biography of Hulan River, which is a novel written by Xiao Hong according to her childhood life.
In the book, I know that the author Xiao Hong had a happy childhood, because several paragraphs in it are written like this: Once I went to a very deep and far place in this dark room, a loud thing hit my foot, and I felt it and held it in a bright place. It turned out to be a small lantern, which scraped the dust with its fingers and revealed a red glass.
I probably saw lanterns when I was one or two years old, but I didn't know them when I was four or five years old. I don't know what this is. I'll ask grandpa in my arms.
Grandpa cleaned me up and lit a foreign candle in it. I was happy to run around the house with the lantern for several days until I broke it.
After reading this, I understand that Xiaohong's childhood must be happy because she has a good grandfather. Think about it. When you find a dusty lantern at home, which parent will patiently help you clean it? Who will light the candle in the lantern for you to play with?
The book also wrote "I" rummaging around in the storage room, which can also write Xiao Hong's happiness. Which parent will satisfy your curiosity when you rummage around at home? When most parents see that you have made a mess at home, they condemn your behavior and ask you to clean it up again.
The stories of many characters in the book also made me understand a lot of truth, and some behaviors made me discover the corruption in the old society. For example, the tragic experience of little reunion's daughter-in-law made me cry; I am amazed at the collective unconsciousness when people kill people; I was surprised by Feng's kindness and hard work. His tenacious love for Mr. Wang taught me how to face the difficulties in life. ...
I suggest you read this book, which writes the beauty of life in plain language!
Reflections on the Biography of Hulan River 2. The Biography of Hulan River accuses the hometown of numbness and inferiority with grief and indignation. Where the ink is thick, I will see my hometown again. Hulan River City is a symphony of joy and sadness, recalling Xiao Hong's childhood. This city is the ignorant side of human nature, and it is also the place that Xiao Hong missed most after she left. My mother died young, my father didn't hurt, my stepmother didn't kiss me, and my grandmother didn't love me. Only grandpa propped up a blue sky for Xiao Hong and became the warmest sunshine in Xiao Hong's childhood.
Running in the yard, in the backyard, where the sun goes. Xiaohong followed grandpa, pretending that she didn't know where to find a hat, put it on her head and followed her closely. Two figures, one large and one small, are planting flowers and pulling weeds in the back garden. The small ones learn from the big ones, and the big ones laugh at the small ones. The grandparents and grandchildren are happy and can't come out in the back garden for a long time.
Pulled up the grass, planted the seeds, agreed to cut the dog's tail grass, but cut a big ear of grain. Grandpa was not annoyed, but happily told Xiaohong about botany. But Xiaohong, the naughty child, just wouldn't listen! I picked a flower heart and caught an ant yesterday. I had to tie its feet and walk the dog like people in the street. After a while, the grasshopper disappeared, so I simply left the flower heart and ran to my grandfather to make trouble. "It's raining!" Lift the water and float it over, it overflows, and it rains heavily in the garden! What could be happier for Xiaohong than being in the garden?
Roses bloom in the fifth day of the month, and ten thyme is thick. Grandpa pulls weeds, Xiaohong picks flowers, and puts twenty or thirty red roses in his hat. That spring, it rained heavily and the roses were red, which lit up the blooming flowers in Xiao Hong's happy childhood. The red flowers are dazzling and fragrant, and the kind grandfather and Xiaohong spent a spring and an autumn together. Xiao Hong knows that even if the whole world is against her, grandpa will still be her warmest sunshine. Grandpa's love made Xiao Hong have a happy childhood, but when his childhood passed away, Grandpa left Xiao Hong and passed away. Xiao Hong's world was shrouded in dark clouds. He fled his home without sunshine, wandered alone and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. Homesickness, waving goodbye to the world with tears, leaving only the biography of Hulan River handed down from generation to generation.
That year, the sunshine was just right, and the flying insects and vegetation in the garden remained unchanged year after year, but the old friend passed away, unforgettable and unforgettable.
After reading the Biography of Hulan River written by Xiao Hong in the summer vacation, I couldn't help being moved by Xiao Hong's writing techniques. The article describes it in detail, and also uses a lot of rhetorical devices such as metaphors, which seems to make me immersive.
I think the whole book can be divided into three parts. I'll write a little about the big mud pit of Hulan River. I think this big mud pit, although it is the most troublesome pit in Hulan River, adds a lot of lively elements to the small village of Hulan River because it is only a big pit. When the horse falls into the pit, many people will come at a fast speed, some of them are enthusiastic people, and they roll up their sleeves and plan to go down and do something big.
There are also the crafts and customs of the small village of Hulan River. Among them, my favorite is the dancing god mentioned in the article. Those so-called dance gods, much like some wizards, pretend to be ghosts and make a fuss about some minor things, which is known to the whole village. But the songs sung by these dancing gods in the article are coherent and rhyming, which is really interesting, just like a poem.
Among them, the most detailed is the author Xiao Hong, his grandfather and some things that happened in the village. I think Xiaohong's grandfather is really good. He not only works and talks with his granddaughter, but also teaches her something. What I remember most is that his grandfather and Xiao Hong read poems together. When reading poetry, Xiao Hong's naughty cuteness made me laugh, and my grandfather's patient teaching amazed me.
If you want to know more about the small village of Hulan River, read the book Hulan River Biography at once!
After reading Biography of Hulan River, I read another book called Biography of Hulan River in winter vacation. After reading it, I was deeply touched.
The author of this book is Xiao Hong, and it is a long essay of "reminiscence". I mainly wrote bits and pieces of Xiao Hong's childhood, including happiness, sadness and loneliness ... Between the lines, I also read the suffering and ignorance of the people at the bottom of society at that time, and life was very monotonous.
In Xiao Hong's memory, her happiest time was with her grandfather. In Xiao Hong's eyes, Grandpa is a kind, gentle and tolerant old man. Grandfather allowed her to play and taught her to read poetry. Grandpa always comforts her when she is in trouble and never blames her. Xiaohong also likes to play with grandpa in the garden. She does whatever grandpa does. Once, Xiaohong didn't know which was the green brisket and which was the ear of wheat, so she pulled out the ear of wheat and left the green brisket, and argued plausibly with her grandfather about the difference between the ear of wheat and the green brisket. I can't help laughing. The book also wrote that whenever Xiao Hong was tired of playing, she would find a shady place without a pillow or a mat and fall asleep with a straw hat covering her face. It can be seen that Xiao Hong was free and happy when she was a child.
Seeing this, I can't help thinking of my childhood. Although my childhood life was not as free and carefree as Xiao Hong's, (running back and forth between cram schools every day) I also had a lot of homework to do, (but I think it was still very fulfilling,) and friends to play with. Compared with Xiao Hong's childhood, I feel much more colorful. Therefore, I must cherish the beautiful life now.
Mao Dun once commented on Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River, saying that it is a narrative poem, a colorful landscape painting and a string of sad ballads ... (I feel the same way. But I prefer the childhood life in that "narrative poem". )
Random thoughts on Hulan River Biography 5 Whenever I pick up Hulan River Biography, I can't put it down any more. It attracts me like a magnet, and makes me integrate into the world of Hulan River.
The book says "I" was born in Hulan River since I was a child. Because my parents and grandmother were very cold to me, I liked being with my grandfather from an early age until his death.
When I read "there are no beautiful stories written by me, because they are all memories of my childhood, I can't forget them." I will write them down here. " I can't help but remind me of my childhood. In my childhood memory, I am still a little sad and worried about my grandfather's death.
When I read "as for what has not been taken away, wind, frost, rain and snow are blowing in the world." I sympathize with them very much. At that time, the technology was not good and there were no heating tools. Many people froze to death on the roadside. Besides, we have too many clothes to fit in a wardrobe, and we have to buy several sets of new clothes every season.
Andre Mo Luoa once said: What is a happy childhood? There is no gap between parents. When you love your children tenderly, at the same time, you maintain a strong discipline and maintain an absolutely equal attitude among children. The author's childhood was so unfortunate that only his grandfather accompanied him. So many people around us love us, and we don't know if we are blessed or not, complaining about our dissatisfaction with life. Has the author Xiao Hong ever complained about such a bitter childhood? I once complained about my parents' nagging, but I don't know how much love this parents' nagging contains. When I was a child, I didn't listen to my parents' advice and coveted temporary happiness. I only care about my own fun and didn't cherish this wonderful study time. It's really that young people don't work hard and the boss is sad!
Random thoughts on the Biography of Hulan River 6 The Biography of Hulan River is a rural story about the early 20th century, which is novel, unforgettable, touching and interesting ... There is a strong peasant flavor between the lines.
This book is presented to us in the form of prose. The first one is to look at the world from the author's childhood perspective, feel everything, and record it in simple language. Among them, the most interesting is the dance god. The author described the dancing god vividly, and my heart was suddenly pulled up with nervousness and expectation. The lively and festive atmosphere pulled me there at once, and the interesting dance god intoxicated me. The scene is really harmonious!
The second article is about spring, and one thing impressed me deeply. People call it Good Morning Mao Ning because it is homophonic with the English pronunciation of Good Morning. I thought to myself: people began to catch up with the trend at that time!
One of them, I feel very sorry for the reunion wife. She endured her mother-in-law's beating and scolding, and finally, she was scared to death alive. It's a pity that she was not taken care of by her parents at such a young age. In this article, I realized the patriarchal clan system in a very serious feudal society.
There are no flowery words or good words in this book, but it contains a harmonious and simple emotion and a gray picture.
We must study hard in the future and inherit the spirit of the Chinese nation!
Reflections on the Biography of Hulan River 7 Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River is a classic, which describes the experience of Hulan city people in seclusion. Although this work with the author's historical background is sad, it is not interested in the daughter born in 2 1 century. In particular, I saw the story that the daughter-in-law of 12-year-old child bride little reunion was fooled and scalded to death by boiling water. The daughter said, it's terrible and inhuman.
Well, I'll tell you this, this classic, so we can just read in general. After studying, my daughter likes listening to music. These days, she always said that her friends recommended some nice songs, such as "Xili", to me. Needless to say, children are very talented in music. Compared with nostalgic songs, they have already surpassed it.
It's really tiring to study in order to complete the school task. I can only think about how to finish reading this book more comfortably with her and finish reading and handwritten newspapers.
My daughter has been very helpful recently. Her classmates will ask her for help from time to time and ask her about her homework. She knows everything and even sends her homework to her friends to copy. It seems that my mother, the shopkeeper of cutting, really makes the children take chicken feathers as the direction.
What's interesting tonight is that my daughter's flute is bass, or short of breath, so she can't make a sound. I sent a message to Mr. Fang, who was taught by the wind band. The teacher patiently replied: It should be that the child didn't master the rhythm of bass ventilation and tried to play the DO~FA sound. After learning this, my daughter practiced "Try" again, which is really much better.
I am always a little discouraged because I can't practice flute these two days. I thought it was the flute or the damage, and I couldn't prove it. I have to ask the teacher for help. Fortunately, after the teacher gave me some help and guidance, the child also mastered the secret. Learning on the road of art must be sweet, and interest can only become fun if you don't play a song in a hurry.
May children's reading and art go further and further.
Xiao Hong, a female writer in the Republic of China, read Biography of Hulan River and had many touching experiences. The biography of Hulan River written by this woman writer deeply touched me. This is a book, an unusual book, its rhythm is like a song, ups and downs, endless. It gives people a pleasant feeling at first, but as time goes on, you will find that this is a string of sad songs.
Let me talk about Xiao Hong's life first.
She was born in a landlord family. Her father is an official with a strong feudal consciousness. He is indifferent to Xiao Hong, and only his grandfather loves her. Her mother died when she was young. Zhang Weizhen's grandfather is a very good old man. She often goes to the small garden with her grandfather.
Therefore, Xiao Hong's later work Biography of Hulan River is based on her and her grandfather's memories. I remember this passage:
There is a big garden in my home. There are bees, butterflies and dragonflies in this garden. Butterflies include yellow butterflies and white butterflies. These butterflies are too small to look good. The beautiful butterfly is red and covered with gold powder. Dragonflies are gold; Grasshoppers are green; Bees are buzzing, fat and round, like a small ball, landing on a flower.
The sunshine in the garden is particularly strong. Flowers bloom, just like waking up. The bird flew, just like a bird in the sky. This bug barks as if talking. Everything is alive, just do what you want and do what you want. All free. Pumpkins can climb the shelf if they want, and the house if they want. Cucumber is willing to lie, it will lie, and it will bear cucumbers if it is willing to bear cucumbers. Corn can grow as high as it wants, and nobody cares if it wants to grow in the sky. Butterflies fly freely. One moment a pair of yellow butterflies flew over the wall, and another moment a white butterfly flew away from the wall. Whose house did they come from and where did they fly? The sun doesn't know this either. Only the sky is blue, high and far.
After reading Biography of Hulan River, Xiao Hong, formerly known as Zhang Naiying. She is a master of modern literature and a recognized "literary goddess". She wrote a biography of Hulan River a year before her death.
A lot of things happened in Hulan River Biography. There was a big mud pit on the road to my hometown, which turned into a quagmire after the heavy rain. People passing by are like being hit on the road of life. They should roll up their sleeves, stick to their roots, concentrate on climbing other people's boards and exploring the past. Livestock often fall into pits and lose their lives. Some people say to tear down the wall, others say to plant trees, but no one wants to fill the pit. The characteristics of local people's resigned thinking and self-deception are written.
The death of little reunion's daughter-in-law exposed the indifference of villagers and the ignorance and solidification of hometown people's thoughts, which stifled this young life. The second uncle who lives at home is withdrawn and behaves differently from ordinary people. Scold if you have food, scold if you don't give it, and don't give it. I often only talk to rhubarb dog, the sparrow, and seldom talk to anyone. Feng Waizui in the mill once made yellow rice rice cakes in autumn, one for three coppers, and often gave them to the author, as well as some steamed bread and pork for Feng Waizui's children.
The foolish thoughts of hometown people did not bring any influence to Xiao Hong. Xiaohong has a good impression of her grandfather. When she was a child, didn't she help when she was growing vegetables and watering flowers in the yard? When she was growing vegetables, she kicked rape and cut leeks as weeds. Grandpa didn't blame her. She also wrapped the pig that fell into the well in yellow mud and baked it for the author. Her hands were full of oil and rubbed against her clothes. Grandpa is not angry and loves Xiaohong very much. Grandfather also taught the author to read poetry. He doesn't have a textbook, so he speaks by mouth. It can be seen that his grandfather is a learned man with a good education. Compared with little reunion's wife, the author's family life is very different.
At this point, Xiao Hong's mood is already very lonely. Years of wandering life and infirmity make the author homesick and deeply miss his grandfather.
Mr. Contradiction said that The Biography of Hulan River is not a novel in a strict sense, but a narrative poem, a colorful landscape painting and a sad ballad.
Random thoughts on the Biography of Hulan River 10 The Biography of Hulan River is an autobiographical novel, which is similar in content to the Old Story of the South of the City written by Lin. All of them are based on the author's childhood life, connecting with his childhood experiences or what he saw and heard, and revealing all kinds of human feelings and social features under the background of the great era at that time.
In this book, the person I am most impressed by is not a naughty and naive author, but a poor reunion daughter-in-law. Reunion daughter-in-law is twelve years old and has long black hair. Her face is dark and careless, and she is smiling. Little reunion's daughter-in-law is healthy, generous and loves to laugh, which are all advantages in today's society, but in Hulan River, little reunion's daughter-in-law is out of place among women. Because of this, Enron's daughter-in-law was beaten by her mother-in-law Mother-in-law said that she would scare him and play day and night. Anyone who is dissatisfied will take it out on her. Finally, little reunion's daughter-in-law fell ill, and Khufu used various superstitious methods to treat her. Some people even threw him into boiling water to take a bath, saying that he could exorcise evil spirits. However, no one can stand it, and neither can little reunion's daughter-in-law. The next time she dived, she fainted and went back and forth three times. Little reunion's daughter-in-law is as hot as coals. In this way, I don't know how many days later, little reunion's daughter-in-law died. Little reunion's daughter-in-law was rude and ignorant, and a healthy girl was sent to her grave through the scam of spectators and charlatans.
In the eyes of social people, everything is not as precious as the care of the great god. They are superstitious. They know clearly what a doctor can do, but because of their ignorance, they push good people into the abyss.
After reading the book Biography of Hulan River, I deeply felt the ethnic customs of Hulan River and people's incomparable admiration for ghosts and gods. In my opinion, their ideas are old-fashioned and equally incorrect. Modern society is different from the past-law. Because of the existence of law, modern society has become orderly. In the old society, people often put interests first and neglected friendship. At present, the most precious and desirable character of human beings is self-sacrifice.
Reflections on the Biography of Hulan River 1 1 This winter vacation, I read a "memory" novel-Biography of Hulan River. The author of this book is Xiao Hong, a female writer in China.
Mao Dun, a famous writer, called The Biography of Hulan River "a narrative poem, a colorful landscape painting and a string of sad ballads". It's true, you see-I was tired of playing, so I found a shady place under the house and fell asleep. I fell asleep without a pillow or a mat and covered my face with a straw hat. "The appearance of a naughty little girl, vividly displayed in front of my eyes at this moment. And there is a big mud pit on Dongerdao Street, six or seven feet deep. Piglets have been drowned here, dogs have been suffocated, cats have been suffocated, and chickens and ducks often die in this big mud pit. According to our point of view at the moment, the big mud pit should be filled up, but people at that time thought it should conform to society and God's will, and people could not disobey God's will. It really makes me feel sad for their ignorance!
In the author's description, her childhood was both joyful and lonely. She said she was happy because she had a grandfather who loved her very much. Her grandfather taught her to recite poems and words, to recognize crops, to play with her and to chat with her. She is said to be lonely because her only activity place is the big garden, and the only person who plays with her is her grandfather.
Her grandfather is knowledgeable and amiable. I have a grandfather as good as her grandfather. I remember that when I was in Grade One and Grade Two, my math scores were not very good, and I often got more than 90 points. Once, I was stumped by a topic, and my grandfather patiently taught me to do it. I didn't understand it at first, but grandpa was not worried and still patiently taught me to do the problem. With the efforts of my grandfather and me, I will eventually.
After reading the biography of Hulan River for a long time, my mind was still immersed in that gloomy picture.
Random thoughts on Hulan River Biography 12 On this day, I read a book called Hulan River Biography, which told many interesting stories about me and my grandfather. If you want to know, please read on.
I remember an interesting story about "I picked a bunch of roses in the back garden and gave them to my grandfather on a straw hat, but he didn't know it." He also said: "this year, the spring water is big, and you can smell the flowers in the second mile." "It can be seen from this that my grandfather is very humorous and loves me very much.
When the author was born, his grandfather was over 60 years old. When the author was three or four years old, his grandfather was almost seventy. The 70-year-old grandfather loves the author so much that they can't stop laughing in the backyard. Grandpa's backyard is a paradise for young writers. You can do whatever you want, whatever you want. Everything is free.
The book says that there is a big mud pit on Dongerdao Street, which is six or seven feet deep. People, pigs, dogs, cats and horses all drowned in the pit. Everyone knows about the pit. Some people say to tear down the wall, others say to plant trees, but they don't say to fill the pit.
In the author's description, her childhood was happy and lonely. She grew up in the backyard where the author and grandfather played and worked together. The author and grandfather are always together, and her childhood is full of joy.
What is written in the article is that the reunion daughter-in-law is a beautiful and lovely girl, only twelve years old. She was supposed to have a carefree childhood, but she was sold to a family as a child bride early. How pitiful! This reminds me of our new society. People become wise with knowledge and create a perfect life with their own hands. No inequality between men and women, no terrible war.
Ah! I really want to stay in my childhood forever, but time always passes. Then cherish it with a kind and enthusiastic heart and feel this perfect time!
I have finished reading Biography of Hulan River, but my thoughts are still in that gray realm.
I read the Biography of Hulan River 13 at the beginning of school, and read the Biography of Hulan River written by Xiao Hong in my spare time. Rich in content and fascinating. What impressed me most were a few short stories.
Tofu was a luxury at that time. It's nice to eat a piece of tofu with your meal. Some poor families can't afford tofu. Their children's dream is to open a tofu shop, or even go bankrupt, preferring to go bankrupt and buy a tofu. This expresses the miserable situation of the poor, who live like that all their lives, scrimping and saving, and can't even afford a piece of tofu.
The life of women in the old society can be said to be very miserable. At the temple fair, people in the old temple were very devout, but in the Niangniang Temple, people didn't respect the empress at all, only worshipped her a little to beg their children and grandchildren. This also reflects how unremarkable women were at that time.
The book also tells the story of a daughter-in-law in little reunion. She used to be fine, but she was tortured, beaten, scolded and abused. In fact, she is very wronged. She wanted to go home, but she was told that there was a ghost in her body, and there was no remedy. She was finally forced to take a bath with hot water or tortured to death. Through the story of little reunion's daughter-in-law, the author reflects the unfortunate fate of women in the dark, backward and ignorant social life.
After reading this book, I was deeply touched. These three short stories are just a microcosm of this book, but they express the author's dissatisfaction and anger at the ignorance, backwardness and darkness of the old society. Xiao Hong was a rare female elite in the society at that time, but many women's lives were very difficult. Compared with the old one, society has progressed, living conditions have been greatly improved, and girls have not been discriminated against. We should cherish a beautiful life, and girls should be self-reliant and make themselves stronger.
Random thoughts on the Biography of Hulan River 14 The Biography of Hulan River was written by Xiao Hong, a famous writer, and recorded Xiao Hong's mixed childhood. Hulan River is where Xiao Hong lived as a child. Her grandfather died there, and so did her second uncle. ...
This book says that the winter there is very cold, the sky is gray, the earth is frozen and cracked, and the snow flies all day. He also said that there are many people selling twist there. Although it is winter, they still insist on selling twist and tofu.
At dusk, people keep going to see the river lanterns. People here also like to dance with the great god (a superstition).
Xiaohong was very naughty when she was a child. Every time her grandfather goes to weed, she follows. Then pick the flowers next to you one after another and put them in grandpa's straw hat one after another. Grandfather didn't know it, but he thought it was a heavy rain that spring. This rose blooms so well that you can smell it in Erli Road. After returning home, the straw hat full of roses made the whole family laugh. I'm so happy.
Xiaohong is sometimes naughty, but sometimes she is also very sensible.
When her grandmother died, many people came. Although Xiaohong doesn't care about her grandmother, she entertains guests very well. She took her little brother to the garden and introduced everything to him without disturbing others.
As Xiao Hong grew up day by day in the story, I gradually learned a lot about the characteristics of the small town there. They danced to the gods, watched the river lanterns and watched the wife of little Reunion. ...
I have finished watching the biography of Hulan River, and I have been immersed in a picture of joy and sorrow for a long time!
After reading Biography of Hulan River and Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River, I was deeply touched. It was written from the perspective of Xiao Hong's childhood and described the customs of Hulan River. The language of this book seems dull, but in fact it hides the bitterness of the world. If you chew it carefully, you will be immersed in it.
What impressed me most was little reunion's daughter-in-law's mother-in-law. She is stupid and ignorant, thinking that her mother-in-law is right to hit her daughter-in-law. Because little reunion's daughter-in-law is not shy, too generous and tall, she will teach little reunion's daughter-in-law a lesson after eating three bowls. She injured little reunion's daughter-in-law, who was terminally ill, so she invited the dancing god, and paid Yunyou fifty dollars to hire a real doctor until she tortured her to death.
This reminds me of what happened before my brother was born. A few days before my brother was born, my grandmother invited the fortune teller in my hometown and said that the sixth and seventh day of the first month was a lucky day, and this lucky child would be smart and brave. Grandma believed it and went to the temple to worship. On the fifth night, my mother suddenly felt very painful and bloated. My father was about to take my mother to the hospital, and my grandmother urged her to wait until tomorrow to go to the hospital. That day was auspicious, and all the children born were very clever. But after about an hour, the amniotic fluid in my mother's stomach broke, which scared my father to call an ambulance to take my mother to the hospital. After the operation, the doctor told us that it was lucky to come in time, otherwise the amniotic fluid in my mother's stomach would run out and my brother would be in danger.
Grandma wants her brother to be healthy, smart and lively, but she doesn't consider the actual situation. She blindly believed the fortune teller's words, just like the mother-in-law of little reunion's daughter-in-law in the book. She didn't think she had done anything wrong until her daughter-in-law was tortured to death. Her ignorance makes people feel pitiful and hateful.
The book Biography of Hulan River reflects the superstitious atmosphere of the society at that time and rebukes people's indifferent attitude towards life at that time. But it is also a rare prose narrative masterpiece, like a narrative poem, telling the unforgettable past of the author's childhood.
Biography of Hulan River is not only a poem, but also a sad and happy song.
