On the morning of August 3, the weekend reading sharing meeting was held as scheduled at the Jian'an Cultural Center on the fifth floor of Handan Book City. Wu Xiao, a model worker in the city's education system, secretary of the Party branch, principal and senior teacher of Baihua No. 2 Primary School in Fuxing District, interpreted the magical and interesting story in the marine world in the book "Coral is Singing" for many young readers and big friends.
Children's literature writer Wang Shu, a former naval officer, whose children's novel "Coral Singing" was published by Hebei Juvenile and Children's Publishing House, and was selected as a recommended book for March 2024 by the China Book Critics Society. The novel has a novel and distinct theme, directing our attention to the mystical underwater world, stimulating children's desire to explore, to understand, pay attention to, and fall in love with the ocean.
Principal Wu's interpretation of the book begins with a series of questions. Have you ever seen the sea? What's in the sea? Do you know what diving is? Is coral a plant or an animal? The young readers at the scene raised their hands to answer, which instantly aroused the children's curiosity.
From the synopsis of the story of the book to the timeline of the work, the relationship between the characters, the environment, the marine animals he comes into contact with, and the series of activities experienced by the protagonist and the little girl, Principal Wu has analyzed it very thoroughly. He said: The beautiful ocean landscape is always in the work, running through the image of the sea, conveying the breath of the sea, which will fascinate children.
With "planting coral" as the center of the story, while arousing people's attention to ecology, it tries to plant love, compassion and compassion for children's hearts, especially for the care of weak lives. It embodies the writer's concept of the equality of all things and the ultimate care for human beings, and plays the voice of life in the depths of the reader's heart.
At the end of the sharing, Principal Wu said affectionately: This work is a process of a child's growth, a process of everyone's growth, and a process of continuous search and discovery. To be honest, reading this work, I have a new understanding of the sea, corals, and marine ecology.
Of course, I also found a fit in our school philosophy. Our school is one of the first batch of scientific experimental schools in Hebei Province, and we uphold the concept of "greatness comes from small and small findings come from persistence", which is also profoundly reflected in this work.
After the event, Handan Book City also presented carefully prepared cultural and creative souvenirs, cute cartoon stickers and doll badges, as well as a cool small fan of "Cool Reading, Fan the Poetry and Distance in the Heart" for the young readers and parents who came to participate in the reading sharing activity, so that everyone couldn't put it down.
It is reported that the National Reading --- weekend reading sharing meeting is held every Saturday morning in Handan Book City, which is a public welfare reading sharing activity that readers can voluntarily participate in. Adhering to the concept of reading more and reading good books, spreading excellent culture and sharing reading experience, it provides a sharing platform for readers to display, communicate and learn in a bookish atmosphere.
