Feng Zikai, Chinese writer: Children's eyes are straight, they can't turn.

Why is it that the age of man is lengthening, while the hearts of boys and girls are hardening ahead of time. -- Aldous Huxley, British writer

The world is losing the great kingdom of childhood, and when it is lost, that is true destruction. -- Fielding, American writer

In the twilight, we are persuaded to believe that the sky is vast; When the grass grows warbler flies, we are advised to guard against the difficulty of the Shu road in front; As we grow up at every stage, we are reminded to complete mistimed tasks. Therefore, childlike innocence is like the wind chimes, gradually far away, disappeared.

"The child takes a wish from the hand that sells balloon", how lovely AND beautiful poem, can even imagine that is permeated with brilliant smiling face. And now that smile is frozen in ice. The age of innocence, but a face of sadness, for the study of the rush. Instead of complaining about the sophistication of today's children, we should examine what is causing the loss of innocence and what is exacerbating it.

On the contrary, we clearly see a society full of competition consciousness, emphasizing the survival of the fittest society. When adults are mostly in the money fame and wealth of the time to run, when the talk with children are career development, profit loss, try to ask a piece of white paper and how can not be contaminated with ink stains? At the same time, when adult dissatisfaction is imposed on children's young growth process, Wolf father and tiger mother emerge one after another, a child's innocence is not forgotten by children, but killed by a vicious environment. When Wang Zengqi describes Mr. Jin, there are scenes in which Mr. Jin fights chicken with children with a big pomegranate and catches lice in the middle of the class. These childlike images remind us that a scholar and a wise man should not be busy all his life, but should be full of love and positive optimism for life.

In a media age that advocates child prodigies, in my heart, it is not the child who desecrates God, but the God who desecrates the child. Children's eyes are straight, not turn, so he can see the beauty we lose, his creation, his questions let us see the other side of the world. Childlike vision, perhaps like love through time and space, can illuminate the scenery above the freezing point.

This innocence, this beginner's heart, if always adhere to, as the guardian of a red rose, the dream is too good, the guardian will be more heavy. Heaven and Earth, reality lets people know that freedom is nothing but the distance between the hunter and the prey. But why is it that the reality makes people so afraid that they will not easily promise the beginning of a dream for their children?

The lost innocence is torn apart by a latent violence. The best growth, is not a young age to be admitted to a famous university, is not a young age is well versed in the secular law, is not a young age on the millili, melodious piano. I would like to see the "most like children rogue, the village head lying to peel lotus leaf" carefree carefree scene. The future may be cruel, but the heart of curiosity, imagination, creation, will not be afraid.

Some things will eventually experience, that will then investigate, some things are so beautiful, why not cherish? Lost innocence, brought us a sense of loss, I hope this insight can make innocent laughter in the wind spread longer.
