Chapter 132 Extra
: Fairy tales have the power to change the world
As the Internet becomes more and more developed, paper media has begun to decline. The sales of "Fairy Tale Monthly" are mostly maintained by "The Dancing Elephant".
So after learning that Yao Fanyue was going to finish "The Dancing Elephant", Xiao Jianguo found Yao Fanyue as soon as possible.
Yao Fanyue and Yao Rong no longer live in the old house in the No. 1 Middle School. They moved to a villa near the theme park.
The villa is more than half an hour's drive from the publishing house. When Yao Fanyue saw Xiao Jianguo standing outside the door, she showed surprise on her face: "Uncle Xiao, if you have anything, just call me directly. Why did you come here specially?"
When I first met Xiao Jianguo, he was already nearly 40 years old. Twenty
years have passed in a flash, and Xiao Jianguo will retire at the end of the year.
When Xiao Jianguo was young, he had a good temper. As he got older, his temper became even better. He was especially friendly when he laughed: "I heard that you were going to finish "Little Elephant", so I wanted to come and talk to you."
"Fairy Tale Monthly" was created by him and was his hard work. He was a little anxious now.
Yao Fanyue hurriedly invited him into the house. After serving tea, he did not rush to explain, but went to the study and brought out a stack of brand new manuscripts.
"This is the setting of my new book. I originally thought about showing it to you in two days. Since you are here, why not take a look first?"
Xiao Jianguo felt relieved, knowing that Yao Fanyue had thought carefully before making a decision, but he was the one who was worried.
Yao Fanyue's new book is still set in the animal world.
However, this world is no longer peaceful, but a world of three kingdoms.
The king of each kingdom is ambitious and wants to annex other kingdoms and unify the entire animal world.
The protagonist of the story is a Kung Fu Panda who wants to travel the world and learn martial arts from a master.
...
After reading this manuscript, Xiao Jianguo's heart instantly settled down: "Can you start serializing this article immediately after "Little Elephant" is completed?"
Yao Fanyue nodded: "Of course."
A month later, those readers who bought the final chapter of "Little Elephant" found that after "Little Elephant", a novel called "Kung Fu Panda Travels in the Three Kingdoms" was serialized.
Compared with "Little Elephant", the writing style, character setting, and story framework of "Kung Fu Panda Travels in the Three Kingdoms" are more mature, and the core of the story is more moving.
This new article successfully saved the readers who lost due to the completion of "Little Elephant" and became another representative work of Yao Fanyue.
Not long after the serialization, the editor of a foreign publisher contacted Yao Fanyue to discuss with her about translating and publishing "Kung Fu Panda Travels the Three Kingdoms".
Since 2006, Yao Fanyue's works have been translated into other languages and published abroad.
At first, there were only Chinese-English translations. Later, publishers from many countries and regions such as French publishers, Spanish publishers, Japanese publishers, and American publishers contacted Yao Fanyue to discuss translation and publication.
Over the years, Yao Fanyue has also accumulated a group of loyal readers abroad and made many contributions to the international promotion of Chinese children's literature.
Today, she can be regarded as a world-renowned fairy tale writer.
In 2026, Kung Fu Panda: Three Kingdoms was completed, and soon after, the Fairy Tale Monthly, which had been established for 35 years, announced its closure. When
the news came out, countless people sighed with emotion.
In 2028, the news that Yao Fanyue won the International Hans Christian Andersen Award came back to China, causing an uproar.
The International Hans Christian Andersen Award is the highest honor in children's literature and is known as the Nobel Prize for children's literature. It is a lifetime honorary award belonging to the writer himself, and is intended to recognize the writer's literary achievements throughout his life. [Note]
When presenting the award, the International Children's Reading League said that Yao Fanyue has always been deeply involved in children's literature, cared about the difficult situations of children, soothed children's hearts through her articles, and helped children through the confused period of growth, thus winning unanimous recognition from the judges. [Note]
Many netizens posted on the most popular forums in China, either discussing the award itself or the winner himself.
One of the most popular posts is #童话具有变世界的力量#
The main post is from the original poster: The original poster borrowed a famous saying from Sister Pan Yue, "Fairy tales have the power to change the world, because children are the future of this world", and wanted to know how many people in the forum grew up reading the fairy tales written by Sister Pan Yue, and how many people's lives have been influenced by the fairy tales written by Sister Pan Yue.
1L: The first post is from the original poster. I will start with some suggestions.
I am from Changjin City. To be honest, I grew up reading "Fairy Tale Monthly" since I was a child. The sister above studied music. I often heard her practicing at home, so I always wanted to learn piano. In addition, my family was not bad, and my parents supported me to learn.
I studied for two years, and my level was very amateur, but I played very happily.
During the Spring Festival, my sister upstairs went home to celebrate the New Year. I mustered up the courage to go and play with her, and even played a song in front of her, wanting to hear her praise me. Later, when I went to the bathroom, she probably thought I was gone, and said to her mother outside: "The child has learned for two years and still plays so badly. She has no talent at all. It's a waste of money to continue learning."
At that time, I felt that the whole world had collapsed.
Later, when I returned home, I kept crying, and told my parents that I would never learn piano again, and asked them to help me quit the interest class and sell the piano at home.
I quit the interest class, but I didn't sell the piano. My mother said that I liked it so much before, and wanted to keep it for me, maybe someday I would be willing to play the piano again.
About a year later, I saw the first volume of "The Dancing Elephant" published from my deskmate. At that time, I felt that I was Yiyi in the story. Seeing that Yiyi in the story was not defeated by other people's comments, but changed other people's views little by little, I suddenly didn't resist playing the piano so much.
Back home, I plucked up my courage and sat in front of the piano again.
Decades have passed, even if I am married and have children, I still sit in front of the piano and play for a while from time to time. Yes, I just don't have talent, I haven't gained any achievements from the piano, but I have had countless happiness because of the piano.
These happinesses have supported me through countless difficult moments.
2L: Good guys, the host has been prepared for this.
I haven't read Yao Fanyue's story, but I have watched the animated film adapted from her story.
Who didn't dream of encountering a wishing mirror when they were little?
3L: Yes, from "Fairy Tale Monthly" to cartoons and then to the Fairy Tale World theme park, whose childhood can "escape" Yao Fanyue.
4L: To be honest, I got into it from the Fairy Tale World theme park. And I was in my early twenties when I fell in love with her books.
I was born in a family that favors boys over girls. Alas, the relationship with my parents was particularly bad. I dropped out of high school and went to work. I had to send most of the little money I earned back home every month.
My parents never gave me a good face, and they were only particularly gentle to me on the two days when I got my salary.
Maybe the more people lack something, the more they want it. I worked hard, and my monthly commission was much higher than others. Later, my salary was increased. I told my parents about these things, and the money I sent to them became more and more. Sure enough, they became more and more friendly to me.
It was not until my younger brother got married and the family was going to build a new house that my parents wanted to marry me to a middle-aged man who was abusive in exchange for a dowry that I completely sobered up and cut off contact with them. At
that time, I was a little depressed, thinking that no one in the world loved me anyway, and I would die if I spent all the money in my hand.
I remembered that my colleagues said that the theme park was particularly beautiful, so I bought the fastest ticket to Changjin City and went to the theme park.
At that time, I didn't know where to go, and I entered the adventure island in a daze.
When I went to a restaurant to eat, I heard two girls at the next table gossiping about Yao Fanyue's family situation, saying that she had the best mother in the world and a father who abandoned his wife and daughter.
I don't know why I burst into tears at that time.
Maybe because she saw me crying so hard, Kung Fu Panda Ningning actually gave me a Gesang flower.
Seeing that I didn't understand, the girl at the next table told me: "Gesang flowers are a kind of flower that can bring happiness to people. No matter what bad things you have encountered in the past, accept this Gesang flower and you will be happy in the future."
At that moment, I was suddenly saved.
Until now, I have a complete set of "Kung Fu Panda Travels the Three Kingdoms" on my bookshelf.
5L: Life upstairs will get better and better.
6L: Blessings to the sisters of 4L, I feel that my changes are nothing compared to yours.
Sister Fanyue has a novella with stray cats as the main characters. After reading that novel, I would bring cat food to feed the stray cats in the community every once in a while, especially in winter, and I would use my New Year's money to buy cat beds. I
have kept this habit for many years.
Maybe one of the stray cats I have fed is Pingping.
...
10L: I first heard about the concept of free lunch in Sister Fanyue's article.
Only then did I know that the free lunch and milk I ate at school were donated by kind people and paid for by the government. Anyway,
since then, I have been very frugal with food and tried not to waste a grain of rice.
Laughing and crying, this can be considered a good habit?
11L: I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture given by Sister Fanyue. I was particularly impressed by a sentence she said during the lecture.
She said that a writer of children's literature should set an example and become a role model for child readers.
Later, I read about her deeds over the years and found that she is really a person who practices what she preaches and has never let down the children's love for her.
12L: I found something very interesting. No matter whether Yao Fanyue is 12 years old, 32 years old, or now, everyone calls her "Sister Fanyue".
13L: It may be because she has a mentality that is always young.
Her understanding of children's psychology is even better than many experts who specialize in child psychology.
14L: She is different from those adults.
She is really willing to make friends with children and is willing to think about problems from the perspective of children.
15L: She has written many articles to praise children.
Many parents think that if their children have no worries about food and clothing, why would they be depressed and depressed? But she has called on parents in many lectures to pay serious attention to their children's mental health and their changes in thinking.
...
24L: A friend sent me a link to this post, so I clicked in to reply.
I have been a loyal reader of "Fairy Tale Monthly" since the "Wishing Mirror" period.
At that time, I was in the fourth grade of elementary school.
My father and mother are both graduates of top universities in the country. Later, they were specially hired to work in the city. As their only daughter, I did not inherit their IQ at all. Every time I took an exam, I could only score 30 or 40 points.
My parents always had a good relationship, but every time they talked about my studies, they would quarrel.
As time went by, I became more and more tired of studying, but I didn't dare not study.
I was afraid of seeing more and more disappointment in my parents' eyes. I was afraid that my parents would dislike me because I was a stupid child.
One day, my father bought me a copy of "Fairy Tale Monthly".
Until now, I can still recite the dialogue in "Wishing Mirror":
"Dad, if I always fail in exams, will you still love me?"
"There are many smart children in this world, but you are only my child. I will always love Ayi."
Later, my parents and I had a long and serious communication. They promised not to force me to get good grades, and they would read "Fairy Tale Monthly" with me every month. They also encouraged me to write to Sister Fanyue (her pen name was Jiang Fanyue at that time).
I didn't hold out much hope at first, but just one month after I sent the letter, I received a reply from her.
She wrote in the letter: "Ayi is not a stupid child, but his intelligence is not reflected in his test scores. In the story, Ayi relied on his own strength to break into the heavily guarded holy land of the elves."
I don't know if Sister Fanyue can see this post, but I want to say that the stupid child who could only get 40 points in math has become a French translator.
...
30L: I was blown away by 24L's reply.
It's amazing. Like 24L, I have been a reader of "Fairy Tale Monthly" since the "Wishing Mirror" period, and then I also wrote to the author and received a reply from the author.
But what I like is the second story of "Wishing Mirror".
"With wings, there will be other troubles. Every life is not easy."
"I want to learn how to build an airplane and fly into the blue sky in another way."
When I saw this, I thought she had a bad ending, so I wrote a letter to continue the ending of this story.
She wrote in her reply to me: "How could a person who once had wings resist the attraction of the sky? He will definitely try his best to realize his dream. Because he knows that since the earth will not keep him, he should belong to the sky."
I didn't build an airplane in the end.
I built something more powerful than an airplane.
31L: Wow, I'm a little curious about what was built upstairs.
32L: Woohoo, I also want to receive a reply from Sister Fanyue.
……
45L: Can I say that I became a member of the Environmental Protection Association in the future, partly because of the influence of her stories? What
moved me the most was that she not only promoted environmental protection in her books, but she also donated the royalties, publishing fees, and copyright fees from the comics she adapted into the book to the Environmental Protection Association.
46L: Two years ago, "Fairy Tale Monthly" ceased publication.
Children born after this will not be able to experience the joy we had of following "Fairy Tale Monthly" every month.
47L: Oh, the impact of Internet short videos on print media is too great. Today's children are not like us before, and have very few ways to entertain themselves.
But fortunately, "Kung Fu Panda Travels to the Three Kingdoms" was completed before it was discontinued.
...
50L: Ahem, let me digress. I had a very real dream today. I dreamed that I was in "The Dancing Elephant" and met Yiyi.
51L:! ? Oh my god, are you Yao Fanyue herself! ? She posted a Weibo, saying that she dreamed of "The Dancing Elephant" today. 52L: Ah
, I'm not, is it such a coincidence?
But that dream was really real. Until now, I can still recall every blade of grass and every tree in the dream, as well as Yiyi's expression when she spoke.
It also said: "Today, many new friends came to the grassland."
...
70L: Oh my god, 50L, are you still there? I also had the same dream as you.
I can guarantee that I am definitely not Yao Fanyue. If I could be as good as her, even if I were lying in a coffin now, I would still be able to laugh until my corpse died!!!
71L: I just came from the next post, and someone in the next post also said that they had a dream.
It can't be that a fairy tale has come true.
72L: If you ask me, a novel may become a real world at the end, and the direction of the story can no longer be controlled by the author.
Maybe what you dreamed of is true, and you went to another world to visit in your dream.
73L: 72L, what you said is too romantic.
I think it is really possible.
If you think about it this way, those who dreamed of it are all the chosen ones!
74L: Woo woo woo, I burst into tears.
That was her beloved Yiyi. How wonderful it would be if she had really been to the world where it existed and saw it with her own eyes.
75L: I will always envy the relationship between her and her mother.
Now I have also changed from a little reader to a mother, with the cutest daughter in the world.
When my daughter goes to kindergarten, I will take out the fairy tales I bought and read them with her, accompanying her as she grows up.
76L: Help!
The words above touched my tears!
I often wonder if part of the reason why she loves children so much is that she was loved and cared for in this way when she was a child, so she naturally thinks that all children in the world should be loved and cared for in this way.
77L: Of course.
Have you seen the interview video of Ms. Yao Rong?
In that interview, Ms. Yao Rong said that she made toys because her children's toys were mostly picked up from others.
She chose to build a factory in the village because she hoped that her children's hometown would also become better. She
built a theme park because she wanted to give it to her children as a graduation gift.
Has anyone checked the opening date of the theme park? It was June 28, 2002.
June 26, 2002 was the day Yao Fanyue graduated from university. It took exactly two days to get from the capital to Changjin City by train. The reason for setting this opening date was not for anything else, but just to allow Yao Fanyue to catch up smoothly.
78L: Oh my!
77 brother is awesome, I didn't pay any attention to the details of this date! ! !
79L: What a fairy-tale mother-daughter relationship! I really love it.
The most romantic thing in the world is that the mother runs a toy factory and the daughter writes about the fairy tale world.
80L: Speaking of Ms. Yao Rong, people from Southern Province can't help but digress.
People from Southern Province will really support the Fairy Tale World Factory forever.
I don't know how many people know that in 1996, Southern Province experienced a severe snowstorm. At that time, the disaster affected 80% of the province. Fairy Tale World was the first to come forward to donate money and materials, and the donations amounted to hundreds of millions of yuan.
That was 100 million in 1996.
81L: Local people from Changjin City came uninvited. When we buy toys, we will definitely choose the Fairy Tale World Factory first!
Not only is the quality good, there are many styles, but I also heard from my grandfather that Changjin City used to have a lot of tree resources, but it was still very poor. It was the Fairy Tale World Factory that started to produce toys and helped Changjin City explore a path for economic development.
There are also Jixiang Town and Yifeng Town. In the 1990s, these two towns were well-known poor towns in the country. As a result, all of them got rid of poverty and became rich because of the Fairy Tale World Factory! The villagers even lived in villas!!!
I heard that when the villagers were building villas, Fairy Tale World also gave a certain amount of subsidies. I am tired of saying the word envy.
82L: This is the first time I have heard of these things. Now I will go to the flagship store to place an order to support it.
83L: Already ordered +1
……
98L: Thank you for every fairy tale I read in my youth.
It is these stories that made me grow up from a child to an adult.
99L: Fairy tales do have the power to change the world.
100L: This is the real world.
But there are always people who try their best to write the real world into a fairy tale world.
Yao Fanyue is like this, and so is Yao Fanyue’s mother, Ms. Yao Rong.
It is because of these people that even if I am disappointed with this world occasionally, I will still love this world again and again, and give back all my good qualities to this world.
Welcome to the real world.
Welcome to the fairy tale world.
