"Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life" is a 205 book written by Li Bing and published by People's Literature Publishing House. The price of this book is: 38.00 yuan. The number of pages: 2015-10. I have carefully compiled the article. Some readers’ comments after reading, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Thoughts after reading "Thank You for Accompanying Me All Your Life" (1): Raising a cat starts with being a sister
Ah, I started to feel sad as soon as I opened it. Because I know this is the story of a kitten from birth to death, but even so I still want to read it. Anyway, life is not the same. I know that I will die, but that doesn’t mean I can’t live anymore, right?
Anyone who has ever raised a cat or a dog will understand: This lovely companion has been with me for so long, and it has really become a part of my life. If only we didn't die, it wouldn't die. But on the other hand, I hope that I can grow old with it, accompany it through happiness, parting, and bury it.
But how to commemorate it when it is really gone? How to talk about loved people and cats. Li Bing wrote that she started drawing this story 2190 days after Benben passed away. Maybe a cat's life really needs to be digested in the heart for so long before he can start to write it down bit by bit while crying and laughing. I even envy Li Bing for being able to commemorate him by painting. In this way, the smallest things can be recorded carefully. For example: "In midsummer, Benben would lie on the tile floor to sleep"; "In early spring... he would lie on the sofa or sheets"; "In late autumn, it would be transferred to the TV that was turned on. The belly is close to each other"; "When the heating comes in winter, Benben makes a nest on the radiator. Never leave here except to eat! 』
If you write these four details, there is only one sentence, and if you use photos, they will not have that weight. They can only be painted, close your eyes and recall them. Different seasons, different places, different postures, think slowly and draw slowly. Every time I finish painting a detail, it's like rubbing my face with the lost kitten again: "This guy, you were like this back then!" 』『Meow~』I guess she must have completed these paintings very slowly. Draw some and think of some. I was reluctant to finish the painting in one go, but I was filled with memories, hoping to transfer the clumsy look from my heart to the paper bit by bit.
Benben always sits on his mother’s lap and takes a nap. Dad went around collecting cinders to make a cat toilet for Benben. At first, my sister was afraid of Benben because she was afraid of cats. In the end, when Benben could no longer cheer up, the whole family shed tears in front of Benben. Benben must have spent a very beautiful life in this lovely home. This home also added a lot of interest to ordinary people's lives because he lived with a cat for 14 years. It is simply a model of a happy human family.
I also saw one detail. Li Bing was only 15 years old when Benben came home. At that time, she thought she was the stupid "sister". I heard that when children treat pets, they will think that they are younger siblings and playmates, and they will trust their parents to take care of them. When she got older and added a new cat member, Little Bear, she already felt like a "mother". Because she has started working, falling in love, leaving home to live alone, and learning what an adult needs to be. This heartwarming picture book is not only a cat's life, but also a person's unconscious growth over time. When we learn to become adults, we have to experience many things, big and small, and learn from many places. Some people are lucky enough to have a cat for a lifetime, and spend a cat's life learning to love and be loved. There is nothing more fortunate than this for us creatures on earth.
Thoughts after reading "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life" (2): Raising a cat and accompanying each other for fourteen years is really enough
Finally looking forward to Li Bing's new work Yes, I am a loyal reader of her picture book "I Will Not Be Promoted". I like the lifelike little lives of the little people in her novels. This time it is a warm cat named Benben.
The absolute protagonist in "Thank You for Accompanying Me All Your Life" is this white cat, Benben. Benben is too naughty and lively. After his owner performed sterilization surgery on him, he became much docile, but also more clingy. But its life is also a happy one. It has eaten all kinds of delicacies in the world, and its owner also loves it so much. But later he fell ill and his life was probably at its limit. Benben passed away due to illness. What the owner wants to thank is that it has spent its entire life accompanying her. A cat, fourteen years of getting along with each other, and the warmth of life are carefully described by the author. It is a warm and happy story between man and cat.
Li Bing’s comics are very exquisite. She carefully draws small picture frames, six, eight, or twelve. The layout seems random, but it is very compact. The pictures and text are carefully matched to tell the story. The scenes and emotions are well explained. This kind of picture book has "dry information". You will feel full when you read it, and you will be infected and moved by the author's emotions.
Actually, I should be sad. The new kitten that came to my house was just raised to death by me. It has only been in my house for more than ten days. It is still too small and I haven’t had time to buy cat food for it.
I didn't know about cat food before. I just fed it the porridge, white steamed bun crumbs and cooked meat from vegetables that I ate. It was actually quite good, jumping around and crawling up my legs every day. . The bad thing is, that day I passed by the vegetable market and saw a small pile of small fish that were being sold by people and bought it home. I put the small fish in the refrigerator in a hurry and went to work. In the evening, I boiled small raw fish with hot porridge and gave it to the cat. After two hours, it just didn't feel right. Later, I hugged it for a while and put it on the sofa. We all fell asleep late at night, and the cat died the next day.
In comparison, raising a cat and accompanying each other for fourteen years is really enough. And that cat was lucky enough to be able to leave such a profound memory to its owner after it left, and was given a book as a biography of its life. Cats are extremely dependent on people. Although I have only bathed them once and lived with them for more than ten days, I can already feel the deep recognition of them. But, if you are as careless as me, do you still want to raise another one?
Thoughts after reading "Thank You for Accompanying Me All Your Life" (3): Even if I know the ending, I will still be with you
I have a very good friend, she is a grown-up. Capricorns are strong and independent. They often tell me in a crisp voice that I miss you so much, but are reluctant to trouble me to do anything for her. She rents a house by herself, eats by herself, and sees a doctor by herself... She works hard, practices kendo, supports herself, and an adopted cat.
Later, the cat became old, became seriously ill, and was sentenced to death by the doctor. In the days leading up to euthanasia, my friend fed the cat a variety of foods it liked and took it to meet its previous owner. I was there at the time. When I saw them, who were strangers, getting together because of a cat, I remembered the cat in "The Cat that Lived a Million Times". That cat had completely experienced love and being loved, and then Cats who die.
"If you had known that it would not stay with you for a long time, would you still raise it?" I asked my friend.
My friend nodded, and I didn’t ask why.
The pet protagonists in most picture books and novels about pets often have a sad ending. They either grow old or die. Therefore, I read this book "Thank You for Accompanying Me All Your Life" very carefully. On the one hand, I reminded myself not to love the "cat protagonist" in the book too much, lest I end up sad. On the other hand, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the young and naughty one. Benben is fascinated.
When I met one-month-old Benben, the temperature in Beijing cooled down; when I learned about Benben’s hobbies, it started to snow; when I learned that Benben had grown up and become clingy, the snow in Beijing stopped ; When I saw that the hostess found friends for Benben and moved them to a new home, the air in Beijing became worse and worse... By the time Benben fell ill and died, the sky in Beijing turned blue again.
Li Bing’s author introduction states that her favorite animal is a cat and her greatest fear is separation. However, if she had known that her favorite Benben would always be separated from her, I think she would still be willing to be with it. She said Benben, thank you for spending your whole life accompanying me. Because of this sentence, this story without any suspense, whose ending is revealed from the title of the book, has a just right temperature, the temperature of warm memories. The protagonist of the story has also changed from a cat to a cat owner - Li Bing. On the 2190th day after Benben passed away, I drew Benben’s story while crying and laughing. There were no sensational sentences, no pretentious grief, and all that was left was beauty.
Benben, who was buried in the woods, is still deeply loved by his owner. He has experienced love and being loved, and his cat life is complete. Li Bing, the cat owner, is still a cat slave and regards cats as one of the family members. He looks for the path of wind and happiness from cats, and the warmth of life.
There are many dog ??owners in my community, and I also have a small miniature Schnauzer. When walking my dog, I often encounter large dogs that are not on leashes and roar towards me and my dog. I had to pick up my dog ??and put it on a high platform to prevent the two dogs from fighting. Many times, I have told owners of large dogs that I hope they can put a leash on their dogs. If one of the dogs bites and hurts one of them, the owner will inevitably feel distressed and anxious. They were noncommittal, and the next time they met, the large dog was still not on a leash.
I don’t like pet owners like this, they convey fear of the unknown. Good owners know how to share the beauty of their pets appropriately, just like Li Bing. The cute and energetic Benben in her works, the naughty and clingy Benben, and the timid and gluttonous Benben are probably because of this. With the publication of this book, let’s become a good kitten loved by more people!
Thoughts after reading "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life" (4): Warm and warm memories of loving cats --- Comment on "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life"
I have known Li Bing for a long time , her series of picture books "I Don't Get a Promotion" really brilliantly depict the ups and downs of working as a cubicle employee. When I recently heard that she had launched a brand new picture book, "Thank You for Accompanying Me All Your Life," I, a reader who loves her creative style, immediately started reading it and couldn't wait to read it.
With its pink cover and cute and cute cat shape, anyone who sees it will fall in love with it. As a picture book, the beginning of this story is a bit unusual.
Li Bing used her delicate thoughts to share with us the story about her and her beloved cat. Therefore, we readers can directly feel the unique feelings about loving cats in the form of text without looking at the picture book. "There are thousands of cats in the world, but for me, Benben is irreplaceable." Following this mental trajectory, we can touch upon it from the text of the picture book. Cats, it’s better to keep a distance; first contact with cats; starting to live with cats; girl cat Benben; Benben is a big cat; Benben’s new era; from one to two; old cat Benben ;Goodbye, Benben------The stories in these major sections lead us into Benben's life, and feel the presence of Benben and her loving owner Li Bing. Cute Stupid, cunning Stupid, clever Stupid, naughty Stupid, greedy Stupid -----With the help of Li Bing's eyes that are good at discovery, affectionate descriptions and true expressions, The spiritual Benben jumped onto the screen and entered the minds of our readers.
As a reader who loves cats, I was undoubtedly very moved when I read this book. Although Benben described in the book has left this world, as a kitten it is still jumping in front of both the author and us so vividly. The detailed descriptions of the warm whispers, the smart and lovely shapes, and the ubiquitous breath are vividly revealed in the pictures and narration of the text in the book. "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life." Thank you to our writer Li for not only remembering Benben but also recording her love for cats in this book and sharing it with us readers who love picture books and cats!
Thoughts after reading "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life" (5): If you have ever raised a cat, you will definitely feel full of love
While reading this book , I keep my cat close to me all the time. Because she has a cold personality, she never sleeps on her master's lap like Benben in the book. The most intimate time between her and me was when I was reading in bed and she hugged my feet.
Maybe reading a book usually only enriches and changes my thoughts. After reading this book "Thank you for accompanying me throughout your life", it has indeed brought great changes to my actions. Change. In the past, I never thought that one day my cat would leave forever. Although it was a very joyful and happy book, when I read the end and knew that Benben was about to leave, I put down the book and did not finish reading it, fearing that Benben would leave forever. Sad mood affects sleep. When the sun shone brightly at noon the next day, I finished watching Benben’s final moments of struggle with tears. Suddenly, I saw my little Q kissing her so hard that she pressed her face against her belly and squinted for ten minutes, with cat hair all over her face. I guess little Q has been confused lately. I've become so clingy to her. I drag her over to whatever room I'm in every day. I scratch her head and touch her little paws when there's nothing wrong, because I'm afraid she'll have to wait for her to leave. Sometimes, I will regret spending too little time with her.
People who have never raised a cat may find it difficult to understand the small details described in the book, but as long as you have had these experiences and seen those familiar scenes, you will think: "Yes, yes, yes, My cat is like this too.” “Haha, it’s exactly what I thought at the time.” “Oh, it turns out it’s not just my cat that’s like this!” I think it’s good to evaluate a comic book, unlike a text book, where you have to talk about something. The theory should be more in-depth, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the small details. The content of this book is very solid, and it is full of small details about the process of raising cats, rather than just general and stereotyped cat-raising stories. For example, how difficult it is for owners to take photos with their cats; as the temperature changes, cats are the most sensitive, and the place they choose to sleep will also change quickly; every cat owner who has a job or a salary increase will immediately think of giving The cat's cat food has been upgraded to a higher level; other cats come to visit the house, and as a cat owner, they choose to ignore and stay away... These small details are really difficult to empathize with if you have never raised a cat.
Another major feature of this book is that it looks at the owner from the cat's perspective. At the end of each short paragraph, a cat stands from its perspective and evaluates the same story described by the previous owner. Just like Li Bing asked the kitten to choose which color of cat bowl he likes best? At the end, the cat said, it doesn’t matter what kind of bowl it is, as long as the food inside is good. Thinking back then, I carefully selected beautiful eating and drinking bowls for the newly arrived little Q. She must not have cared at all, right?
I have read several books by Li Bing before, but what I like most about this one is that it contains many beautiful illustrations, soft colors, and a very Japanese style. I don’t care about the content but only the visual experience. , all particularly beautiful.
I think this book should be in every cat lover’s collection!
