A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 264: Sacrificing lives and shedding blood! That was a prosperous era that our ancestors had never seen! The rise of the flower-growing family
As a patriotic science animation, Year Hare Affair had already sparked heated discussions among netizens before its release.

The Marines crossed the coastline and headed for the territorial waters of the aggressor country, broadcasting the lines from the animation directly in front of the world media.

[I will never regret coming to China in this life, and I will still be in the Flower Planting Family in the next life. We will keep the war out of the Flower Planting Family, for sure!]

That scene is still fresh in my memory!
What kind of animation can be endorsed by the military, with propaganda slogans displayed in support of the navy on an aircraft carrier in the vast ocean?

What kind of animation is it that has received unstinting praise from 36 mainstream media outlets including CCTV before it even airs?
It can be said that everyone's comments on "Year Hare Affair" produced by CAFA Animation Studio are very positive.

Feeling extremely curious!
Capital, Red Star Primary School, 3:30 p.m.

In history class.

The history teacher stood in front of the projector on the podium and spoke softly to the 45 elementary school students wearing red scarves:

"Students, let us learn about the suffering and history our country has experienced through a few animations."

You can't regard "That Rabbit" as an ordinary animation work. Patriotism is just its label attribute. Compared with the superficial things such as promoting patriotism, what is more important is——

It teaches children about the cruel history in a witty and humorous way that they can understand.

If the teacher in history class just reads out the textbook dryly:

"In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Peking and forced the weak and incompetent Qing government to sign a series of unequal treaties, including the Treaty of Nanjing, the Boxer Protocol, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The people of China complained bitterly. It was under such circumstances that the Boxer Rebellion broke out. After that, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, which affected the important historical process of our country."

How many children can listen to this format?

Compared with the forced adaptation, the appearance of "That Rabbit" is to tell children about that cruel and tragic history in a relatively relaxed and humorous way:
"That year, the once prosperous flower-growing family was divided up by various groups due to out-of-control internal and external troubles and its own decline. The rabbit and the bald man, who had always looked down on each other, finally decided to unite and face the foreign enemies in unison under the tyrannical pressure of the great powers. A difficult period full of tragic and heroic songs began."

The rabbit, also known as the flower grower, represents the new China rising from ruin.

The Russian bear represents the former Soviet Union, the big brother of the socialist camp.

The Eagle represents the Americans. Due to the difference in ideology, it is naturally on the opposite side of the Rabbit.

In addition, there are the foot basin chicken representing Japan, the Gallic chicken representing France, the Baba sheep representing Pakistan, and the white elephant representing India.
You let the children remember these difficult names one after another -

What socialist camp?

What capitalist camp?

What is the Eight-Nation Alliance invading China?

Which camp intensified the Cold War and launched the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea?
It’s not that children can’t remember, but they really are not interested in this history before they reach a certain age.

But if you use animation to tell children:
"Today, we are going to tell the story of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and how the Flower Country woke up from ruin. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it encountered a life-and-death crisis."

Replace the country with vivid cartoon characters.

Tell history to children through animation.

Other than that, just from the point of view of fun -

There is simply no comparison between the two!
Sure enough, when the teacher spoke to the children:
"We won't be giving a history lesson today, we'll be showing you cartoons instead."

In the classroom, all kinds of cheering voices suddenly rang out:

"Great!"

"I don't have to go to class today, I can watch cartoons now."

The originally lifeless classroom suddenly became extremely lively and lively.

Turn off the lights and draw the curtains.

Without further ado, the history teacher said that the USB flash drive had already been copied and inserted into the projector.

On the screen, after the logo of Year Hare Affair briefly appeared, a title suddenly appeared:

[Episode 1: The Rise of the Flower Growers]

That year, the Anti-Japanese War ended. In order to compete for the position of the leader of New China, Baldy and Rabbit went to war. After being defeated, they resolutely chose to flee to Taiwan.

After a bloody battle and with everything in ruins, the rabbit rose from the ruins.

Looking at the bald man fleeing to the island, the wounded rabbit secretly vowed in his heart:

"I must use my own hands to create a flower-growing house where countless rabbits can have enough food and clothes, and where no one will look down on them!"

"I must not let the rabbits be bullied again!"

"I must protect every rabbit in the flower-growing family, I must!"

That year, the most serious crisis on the blue planet occurred (the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union intensified). In the two camps of Paradise and Noisy Superior (capitalism and socialism), a pair of brothers from the same clan turned against each other for their own territory and interests (South Korea and North Korea), and even alarmed the rabbit whose old wounds had not yet healed and the arrogant Russian bear.

North Korea, wearing a red star military cap, was so angry that it occupied South Korea, who was wearing a U.S. Army helmet.

South Korea is a younger brother in the "Paradise Rebirth" camp.

How could Eagle Sauce, as the big brother of the camp, ignore the bullying of his own little brother?

With the help of its younger brother South Korea, the Eagle Sauce gathered the 17-nation coalition——

Brazenly invaded North Korea's homeland!

They burned and looted, fighting all the way from the South Island to the North Island. After occupying North Korea, they even relied on their powerful military force.

Start bombing the border territories of the Flower Planters!
For a time, countless rabbits were displaced.
Watching the rabbits of the flower-growing family die one after another at the hands of the Eagle Sauce's planes and cannons.

It was at this moment that the children suddenly recalled the historical facts that the teacher had told them in the previous class:

"The imperialists' aggressive actions forced us to fight back. We did not take the initiative to fight, but others had already brought the flames of war to our doorstep, forcing us to fight back."

"China made the decision to send troops when the enemy ignored China's serious warnings, crossed the 38th parallel and invaded the Yalu River, posing a serious threat to China's security."

"We don't want to fight this battle, but we have to!"

The scene switches back to the screen.

Facing enemies that are several times larger than their own and possessing the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world at that time, the Eagle Sauce, known as the overlord of the blue planet.

The injured, penniless, and even weak-looking Rabbit made a decision that would shock everyone in the world.

"Resist U.S. aggression, aid Korea, and protect our country!"

Before leaving, the rabbit, who was alone and looked so thin in the cold wind, secretly made a vow to himself:

"We will keep these things out of the flower-growing family, for sure!"

That year, it was a cold winter.

240 million rabbits, wearing thin cotton clothes, holding millet and rifles in their hands, resolutely crossed the Yalu River.

Every one of them had a look of determination to die!
The 17-nation coalition forces are strong and powerful, and the United Nations Army led by the Eagle Sauce is known as the strongest combat force on the surface of the blue planet.

At that time, Rabbit was extremely poor and backward, and could be called the poorest country in the world.

none of them!

Warnings for rabbits:
"You are not allowed to cross the 38th parallel, let alone the Yalu River!"

The United Nations forces, led by the Eagle Sauce, immediately issued an indifferent sarcasm:

"What if I cross it?"

"If you dare to set foot on the peninsula, we will make sure you never return!"

"With your meager military strength, we can end this ridiculous battle before Christmas."

At that time, the flower-growing family had just been established, and it could be said that there was a lot of work to be done in terms of economy, politics, military industry, etc.
They all lag behind the Eagle Sauce, which is known as the most powerful fighter on the surface of Blue Planet.

The weapons the rabbits used for resistance were millet and rifles with limited ammunition.

The weapons used by the Eagles in war are warships, tanks, guns, and ammunition with no restrictions on logistics base.
It is absolutely possible to say that -

This is a contest where the strength is not equal at all!

Let alone the leaders of other gangs, even big brother Mao Xiong, who belongs to the [Noisy Superior] camp, is not optimistic about this contest with such a huge disparity in strength.

Look at the Eagle Sauce, armed to the teeth with guns and live ammunition. Then look at the Rabbit, shivering in the cold wind, wearing a thin cotton coat.

The bear tried to make a proposal to the rabbit:
"How about, forget it?"

The rabbit turned and took one last look at the bomb-damaged town beyond the Yalu River.

Afterwards, he embarked on the journey without hesitation:

"Our motherland is behind us. We have no way to retreat!"

"Comrades, follow me north."

That year, the weak and powerless Rabbit chose to challenge the 17-nation coalition led by Eagle Sauce.

Face an enemy armed to the teeth.

All the rabbit can do is fight for its life.

in class.

Look at the rabbit fighting bravely on the battlefield, disregarding his own life and death.

At this moment, the knowledge about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea that the teacher had taught in class kept echoing in the children's minds:

"As long as we start catching up now, maybe my children will be able to see it; if they can't see it, as long as they keep catching up, their children may be able to see it; if we do nothing, then the dream of becoming a great country will always exist only in dreams."

The classroom, which was originally full of playfulness and laughter, became extremely quiet at this moment.

On the screen, we see a rabbit that knows that death is ahead but still goes forward without hesitation.

Many children had tears in their eyes.

They sobbed softly, and silently shouted along with the rabbit in the cartoon:
"North, North"

That year, during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the rabbit showed amazing perseverance.

Even if it's just millet and a rifle.

Even if the enemy is the Eagle Sauce, which is known as the ceiling of Blue Star’s combat power.

But the rabbits still showed their determination to face death head-on.

They went forward one after another, rushing on the road of sacrifice.

In order to stop being bullied and realize the dream of becoming a great power——

They tried their best!

A bunker that has been difficult to capture for a long time.

Looking at the machine guns in the bunker firing at full power, constantly spitting out flames, ruthlessly reaping the lives of comrades.

A rabbit covered in blood, resolutely carrying a bag of explosives, rushed directly to the top of the mountain:
"See for me the world that we cannot see."

Then the explosives exploded.

An undefended trench.

Under the Eagle Sauce's reckless full firepower coverage, the originally held positions have become empty.

The surroundings were filled with dead rabbits.

The tanks of the Eagle Sauce Army have already arrived at the battlefield.

Facing an enemy that was several times larger than his own, the lame rabbit who was buried in the mud and crawled out of the trench collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and with his dying breath he took out an explosive detonator from his arms:
"Let's go, see you in the prosperous times."

The explosive device was activated.

The next second, the entire position erupted with unprecedentedly fierce flames, engulfing the rabbit's thin body.

In the cold winter, a company of rabbits were huddled in the trenches and shivering.

In extreme weather with temperatures approaching forty degrees below zero.

Even though, his body was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.

But until the last second before his consciousness faded, the rabbit wearing the five-pointed star military cap was still tremblingly muttering:

"You and I were born in this era. Sacrifice is the price we must pay. If you don't pay, your son will pay, and your grandson will pay. Our generation is covered in blood and mud. We have fought the battles that should be fought, so that the next generation will not have to fight any more."

The rabbits have been holding on for a day and a night in this extremely cold weather of minus 40 degrees Celsius.

But until their death, they were unable to wait for Eagle Sauce here.

Two days later, the Eagle Sauce arrived at the battle site as scheduled and found these rabbits frozen into ice sculptures.

The next second, the rabbit's body was smashed to pieces by the surging tanks.
Tragic scene after tragic scene kept flashing before the children’s eyes.

The atmosphere in the classroom also began to change from the initial lively and relaxed atmosphere to

Transformed into incomparable solemnity!

“When you are enjoying a peaceful life, please remember that there are always people carrying the burden for you.”

It was not until this moment that the children understood the true meaning of this sentence!

If it weren’t for the martyrs who rushed to the battlefield one after another.

If it weren't for our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood,

So how can we talk about peace in this so-called prosperous era?

The camera starts switching again.

Under the children's noses, a rabbit was hiding in the trenches, and took advantage of his free time to write a suicide note:
【Zhan Xinjia! How are you doing recently?

Hehe, you must have difficulties of one kind or another, right? I am the same. I have been out of food in the tunnel for several days recently. But fortunately, the Eagle Sauce and his men will not rush up before the next round of artillery fire. I will take this opportunity to write a letter to you and have a chat.

Honey, tell me, when can we stop fighting? I have fought with chickens, bald men, and now I am fighting with Eagle Sauce. Every time, others force you to fight them. If you don't fight, they will bully you. I also want to live a peaceful life, but if I don't show some courage and just beg, I won't get a peaceful life.]

The moment I saw this suicide note.

Many children were already crying and their tears were pouring out:
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, rabbit, don't die, rabbit, come back to life!"

"Rabbit, don't go out. I'll share the snacks at home with you."

"Bunny, bunny, don't leave the trench, there are cannons outside"

Sacrifice is the inevitable outcome.

The sacrifice of a rabbit has minimal impact on the entire battle situation.

But the sacrifice of thousands and thousands of rabbits without fear of death has changed the entire war situation.

It has an indelible impact!
Get out of the trenches.

Accompanied by the rabbit's body falling down.

The rabbit's tender voice resounds in every child's ears:

"Hey, comrade! Do you know where Leningrad and Stalingrad are? I can't find it on the map!"

"No more, no more, we have failed, the White Bandits and the capitalists have once again ridden on our heads. If you want to follow the red star, go to the East, cross the Dnieper River, over the Ural Mountains, to the end of the Siberian Plain, where there is still a spark of fire."

That's when.

The camera slowly fades to black, and a blank line appears in front of the children:
【July 1953, 7, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, victory.】

Looking at the shallow blank space in front of me.

Many children, at this moment, have already burst into tears.

"We won."
