Book Intro

Walking Down the Alley

 

All children can think about is to get home as quickly as possible, throw down their school bags, and play with their friends. But the alleyway leading home seems a long way for the children. Some children pet a cat, and some children stand in front of the shop to decide whether or not they will buy some sweets. Some play hopscotch and move along.

When children get home, they throw their backpacks into their rooms and run to the spot where they promised to meet their friends- without even giving their mother a glance. The children play at an empty area in the neighborhood on snowy winter days. The sound of calling for children echoes throughout the streets: “Come and have dinner, brother!”

As most people live in apartments nowadays, this sort of scenery is disappearing. Instead of playing with friends, today’s children finish their days by attending cram schools instead of having fun at the playground. Advancing quickly in your studies and getting ahead of others has become a virtue. Now we are living in a world where we monitor one another like surveillance cameras. The author misses his childhood friend and finds the warm voice of his mother, as well as the warm love that his grandmother gave him.

We hope this story can become an opportunity for children to travel back in time and experience the leisure and relaxing atmosphere that was once felt back during those days in the alleys.
