"Is this the hometown of Maruko?"

Emi looked at Johnson and originally suggested to come to Shizuoka for a walk, and herself to see Cherry Maruko's hometown. Unexpectedly, the rich man agreed immediately, could it be...

Johnson has an inexplicable relationship with Cherry Maruko. He was once very obsessed with it for a while, especially the strong family atmosphere, which made me yearn for as an orphan.

Whether it is a confused, cute, and lovely little Maruko, a sister who likes to quarrel with her sister but always cares about her sister, a capable mother, a father who loves to drink, a grandpa who loves to spoil Maruko, a grandmother who knows a lot of things, and many classmates with different personalities...

It can be said that it was the most unforgettable experience in my childhood!

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said, otherwise it will be laughed to death by Xia Long and Xia Hu. Last year, the author of Maruko passed away. Today, I came to take a look and I have to pay off my wish.

When I came to the Kiyomizu area, this is the stage for Maruko. Although Maruko often complained that Kiyomizu is a countryside, I found that this place is actually a big city, and it only takes one hour to take the Shinkansen in Tokyo.

Walking through it, there are familiar scenes seen in the animation, including Maruko's home, Irie Primary School, the bridge that you pass on on the way home, the shrine where you will pray with your family during major festivals, Shimizu Longevity, Funjindo...

These familiar scenes in childhood seem to travel through reality, once again bringing back good memories of Maruko.

Maruko has become the business card here. Whether it is buses, subway stations, convenience stores, or catering shops in the city, she is everywhere. You can feel people's love for Maruko from the bottom of your heart.

"Look, this is the legendary Qingshui Primary School!"

Huimei excitedly pulled Johnson and ran to the gate, unable to help but take photos with her mobile phone.

Johnson looked at some old buildings and recalled the bells of school in the cartoon, and smiled knowingly. He looked forward to the bells of 11:30 and 5:30 every day, because he could finally get rid of school and go home.

If Cherry, born in 1965, was admitted to school at the age of seven, so this primary school has a history of decades.

Compared with the animation scenes, there is almost no big change now, and time seems to be still in the era when Maruko was studying.

Looking at the familiar rock climbing rock in the playground not far away, it actually exists?

Maruko and his friends often come here to play after school, and suddenly there is a noise behind them. When they look back, they find that a few girls pop out from somewhere, smiling and wearing a small yellow hat, carrying a small red schoolbag, and even a bun with bangs.

Huimei ran over and chattered for a long time, and the girls took photos in various ways. When she came to Maruko's house, she had a short cement wall, an iron door, and the dense plants in the yard. In summer, cicadas would be called on the trees...

What Johnson envies most is that the lights are always on when he returns home at night, his mother has already prepared the meal, and the telephone pole at the door is such a simple little house, full of the smell of home...

Now there is an owner in the house, and there are photos of Maruko posted at the door. I guess I have been used to becoming a tourist holy place.

"Look, this is Xiaomao's favorite 赌词费说, it is said to have a history of hundreds of years!"

"This is a snack shop that Maruko often comes to. The whole family has taken a group photo in front of the door..."

"Kinda Canteen, Maruko loves tempura, fried shrimp and soda..."

Huimei chattered and ate all the way, swearing to eat all the snacks that Xiaomao likes to eat.

Finally, I came to the Void Zang Shrine and saw the legendary big tree guarded by Grandpa Sasaki. The scene was almost exactly the same as in the animation.

Sitting on the clean steps, I recalled that Maruko and Tamako often sat here in a daze, and I wonder what they were thinking at that time?

Come to Cherry Maruko Paradise, a unique theme park in the world, with 600 yen per person and only a few dozen yuan.

Holding the attached cartoon fan, I just walked to the entrance and met the cartoon little meatballs that greeted everyone. With the familiar bgm, it seemed as if she was welcoming you at the door of her house. Johnson actually felt a little full of tears...

The three rooms are the living room, the kitchen, the room of Maruko and her sister, and the layout is exactly the same as the animation scene!

Grandpa and grandma sitting in the living room drinking tea, father stealing snacks in the middle of the night in the kitchen, sister who was crazy because of Maruko throwing things around... Feeling the warm daily life of Maruko's family, she couldn't help but smile.

The walkway leading to the classroom is arranged as if the only way to go to school in Maruko. He walked through the shrine and the park on the street, met classmates who said hello, and finally came to the door of the classroom.

There are photos of classmates in the class posted at the door of the classroom, especially those of the stinky, rich and handsome Hana, the stinky, the stinky, the stinky, and the best friend Xiaoyu...

When you enter the classroom and attend classes with everyone, you can write on the blackboard, or you can go to the podium to make a speech, read the textbooks on the table, and pretend to listen carefully.

The library has various versions of Maruko comics, and even extremely precious manuscripts of the author. Feel the innocent heart in Cherry Choiko when she created Maruko.

After school, I went to the park to have fun. Huimei wrote a postcard very seriously and put it in the mailbox to send it to herself. I hope that the innocent child in her heart will never grow up.

Before leaving, all kinds of buying and buying are indispensable. They are all around, which are very cartoony and interesting. In the end, even the two tough guys couldn't help but secretly brought a few small souvenirs and gave them to their son and daughter when they went back...

Compared with those animations that fight monsters and upgrade, Cherry Maruko's seemingly simple and boring family matters conveys a rare warmth of the family. It may not be very good in economic conditions and argues about tea, rice, oil and salt all day long.

But the whole family is neat and playing and making trouble, for me, is the most unattainable dream.

The older I grow up, the more I like simplicity, the more I like Maruko's innocence, and the childishness of Crayon Shin-chan. I can only find a pure land in the midst of material desires and intrigues.

Lao Tzu said: If you keep your virtues away, you will return to the baby.

Mencius said: A great man does not lose his innocent heart.

Why did Li Bai have the imagination of imaginativeness?

In his eyes: there are ancient trees without flowers above and sad spring grass below. You can sing openly: Chu Mountain and Qin Mountain are all white clouds, and the director of the White Clouds follows you. You can also raising your glass to invite the bright moon, and facing the shadows to make three people.

Picasso once said: When I was a teenager, I was like an ancient master, but in the end I spent my whole life learning how to draw like a child.

No matter how old you are, seeing innocent children will awaken your long-closed childhood.

No matter how many vicissitudes have passed, think about whether the heart still has a childlike innocence and a pure and simple heart?

Children are just a piece of white paper with huge space, while adults are just a piece of drawing paper, and they can’t start writing too much.

Their world is big, from the whole world, our world is too small, from the only one who is self and the one who is around us.

May you go through vicissitudes and return to be a young man!
