"Hard life will not crush us, and nothing can beat us except ourselves."

Haruka tells the story of a girl's growing experience. Jiang Chunge lives in an alley in Shanghai. Her father is the editor in chief of a newspaper. She has an elder sister and a younger brother, and her grandmother lives with them. As the second child in the family, she feels inferior and lonely because she has not been cared for by her elders for a long time. Her best friends are only her classmate Mei Fong and the driver at home. War broke out in the Shanghai Concession, her father disappeared, and her best friend died in the war. All the sufferings made Haruka and her sister and brother mature. Suffering didn't crush them. With the sensible and strong love, she gradually propped up a home and finally got everyone's attention, becoming a sensible and strong girl. ...

What shocked me most in this book was the war. In the past, I always watched the war on TV. In my subconscious, I just think that war will kill many people, that's all. However, when I read this book, I felt different. I watched my beloved friend die in the war, and my heart trembled. War is really terrible. I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of war.

I also learned a lot from Jiang Haruka. Once upon a time, she was not noticed by everyone. Although she feels inferior, she never gets discouraged. This may also be the reason why she can bear the burden of the family.

I may never understand some of the spirit of loving each other. "Hard life will not crush us, and nothing can beat us except ourselves." This may be the theme of this book.

the second

A few days ago, I studied Haruka in Shanghai.

This book is told from the perspective of the girl Jiang Chun's song. With the deepening of the story, their secrets are being revealed little by little. At the beginning, everyone said that "I" was the second child in the family, neither as good as my sister nor as favored by my brother. It seems that "I" is dispensable in this family.

However, Jiang Chun Song has experienced many things. She has experienced everything that her family has experienced and some things that her family has not experienced. During the war, she had to endure the pain of losing her father (his father was taken to a concentration camp by the invaders because of his fierce words in the newspaper, and he was never heard from again. Later, her family found his letter in the original residence) and moved into a slum, or refugee area, with her family.

What she experienced at school and the friends she made became her best memories during that time.

Haruka in Shanghai is a very good book. I suggest you have a look.
