Chapter 676 The First Friend (Happy New Year)

a.

The Beijing Kuka Children's Channel aired the first episode of the second season of the animation "That Year of the Rabbit" on time at 18:00.

Xia Yu, who had been squatting in front of the TV early in the morning, saw a rabbit appear on the TV screen. She quickly shouted to the bathroom: "Liu Xing! Liu Xing! The rabbit is on!"

"I'm coming……"

Liu Xing, who was squatting in the pit to defecate, heard Xiao Yu's cry, pursed his lips, cut off the feces, wiped his butt with paper, hurriedly washed his hands and ran to the living room.

"Everyone sit down, don't stand here!"

Liu Donghai patted his two sons, motioned them to sit down quickly, and said slightly dissatisfied: "You are so old, why are you still acting like a child, so fascinated by watching an animation?"

"Dad, you don't understand!"

"This animation is so good. When the first season was aired, Xiaoyu and I both cried." Liu Xing explained.

"I'm not crying, it's obviously you who is crying!"

"Yes, yes, I cried."

Liu Xing didn't take his brother's harsh words to heart at all.

When he noticed a hint of curiosity in his father's eyes, he quickly told him about the content of the first season of the animation in the simplest possible language.

"So this is an animation? From what you said, it seems quite interesting..."

Liu Donghai had heard of the animation "That Year of the Rabbit" before, but he had never watched it. After all, he was too busy with work last year.

But now after listening to Liu Xing's story, he became interested instantly.

"Episode 1: First Friends!"

"That year, the Blue Star family..."

When the voice of the narration came from the TV, the first episode of the second season of the Natu animation finally started to be broadcast.

Just see the screen.

Yingjiang, who was wearing a coat and surrounded by a group of blue-star animals, walked proudly past the rabbit.

"Brother! Smoke Huazi!"

"Brother! What I said last time..."

The animals scrambled to please Yingjiang, and Yingjiang also behaved like a boss, and he deserved a beating.

Seemingly to disgust the rabbit, when passing by the rabbit, Yingjiang specially took out a newspaper and told the boys beside him that the rabbit had bitten three more people and that they must stay away from each other in the future.

"Ouch! Isn't this a rabbit?"

At the other end of the road, the furry bear also walked towards the rabbit with a group of boys.

He also took out a newspaper and swore to tell his brothers that according to expert research, rabbits are an extremely dangerous animal...

"Aren't they spreading rumors?"

When Xiaoyu saw this scene, she was very angry: "Rabbit obviously didn't do anything, but he was slandered as a bad person by them."

"no way!"

Compared with Xiao Yu's indignation, Liu Donghai, a middle-aged man, seemed to recall some scenes from his childhood, and said with a helpless expression: "Who gave the rabbit the surname She?"

The animation is quite realistic.

In that era, the diplomatic isolation that Rabbit encountered was indeed similar to scenes in animation. No one dared to make friends with Rabbit.

Let’s take a step back.

Even now, aren't rabbits still being deliberately smeared and vilified by the Western media?

certainly!

The situation of rabbits now is undoubtedly much better than that in the cartoon. After all, at that time, Rabbit was really isolated from the social circle and had no friends.

Back to the animated plot.

The rumors and slanders spread by animals such as Eagle Sauce and Wooly Bear made the other animals in Blue Star afraid of the rabbit when they saw it, and they did not dare to make friends with it and play together.

Until that year...

A hippopotamus from Africa with a simple personality came into Rabbit's sight. The rabbit who had been isolated for a long time finally made his first friend!

Although this friend had many bad habits, was too honest, and was even poor, the rabbit still entertained him warmly.

So that year, economic aid, military aid, and infrastructure aid all started...

The story of the relationship between Rabbit and Uncle Tanhay was portrayed in the original work as "relaxed + funny". The Wanbao version is not that funny, but has a lot of tears.

For example, the rabbit's wallet has been mended countless times and is filled with various patches. There is even a brief "close-up" shot.

Just for everyone to see clearly.

The first feature film ends quickly with the scene of the rabbit holding the hippo's shoulders and walking away under the sunset.

"Dad, who is the hippopotamus?"

"The hippopotamus should be..."

Liu Donghai thought for a while and was about to say the name of the country when he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "A hippopotamus is a hippopotamus!"

"You don't care who he is, you just need to know that he is the rabbit's friend."

Former friends are considered friends.

No matter what the future holds, at least when I look back on this past event, I can’t avoid my “hippo” friend who lives in Africa.

This is enough.

As the prelude of the ending song "Chasing Dreams" played and old black and white photos appeared, Liu Donghai felt a little emotional for a moment.

This animation is interesting.

Use anthropomorphic animals to refer to some countries or people that are difficult to mention and tell what happened in the past.

This was the first time he had seen animation like this.

Putting aside everything else, at least judging from his feelings after watching the first episode, this animation is very attractive to middle-aged people like him who have a sense of resonance with that era.

The more I think about it, the more difficult it becomes.

Remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet probably refers to Liu Donghai's current state.

Since the animation only airs one episode a day, after watching the first episode, Liu Xing and Xiao Yu went back to their houses to do other things.

Liu Donghai sat alone on the sofa, recalling everything he had experienced as a child, then picked up his phone and opened WeChat, and shared the animation he had just watched with everyone in the "Liu Family" group chat.

result……

After the news about Amway was sent out, a series of ellipsises came from relatives.

The most rude person was the second brother Liu Zida, who directly asked three question marks, and then replied angrily: "No way? No one has just watched that rabbit cartoon now, right?"

Forehead? !

Liu Donghai glanced at the name of the group chat, then at the elders and relatives who had just sent ellipses, and couldn't help but type: "Are you all watching TV? Are you watching this animation too?"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another and said that Liu Zida had already shown it to everyone as early as last year when the first season of "That Year of the Rabbit" was broadcast.

Liu Donghai: "..."

Guess in this family group, he is the only one who has not watched the first season of Natu, and he has even just started watching the second season. Are the others all old fans?

Outrageous!

How did his good brother Liu Zida convince these elder relatives to watch cartoons? Is it really that simple?

Isn’t he Wanbao’s number one anti-fan?

I wish you all a Happy New Year! By the way, as a reminder, the highway toll-free period is about to end...
