I’ve
spent a happy time In my childhood because of cartoons. I obsessed with cartons
specially in my summer or winter holidays. In the 1990s in China, there were programs broadcasting on almost every TV stations from 5:30 p.m to 6:30 p.m .These programs just like Big Windmill, Jigsaw
Puzzle, Comic World and so on, and they are for children or pupils . Children
could see cartons basically during this time.(Chinese TV stations have a
regular schedule. For example, all the stations should broadcast CCTV news form7:00p.m to 7:30p.m. If it is the first time for you to come to China, never ask
the waiter to call an engineer to repair your TV set during this time, they won’t
come to help you. The reason is not they love the CCTV news very much, it is
because they have experienced a lot of these embarrassed things during 7:00p.m to 7:30p.m: a
foreigner came to China and he saw all the TV stations on the television were
broadcasting one program, he thought the television must need repair.) So, this
one hour is very precious for me. Not only the cartoons are really funny and
interesting, but also it likes a friend of mine. In the 1980s, family planning
reminds a basic state of China because of the exponential population. Many
families have only one child. The children who were born in the 1980s always
felt lonely in their families and they really need to acquire a good friend,
and then the cartoons appeared. Comparing with other programs, cartoon is
easier for children to understand and the characters in cartoon are comic
and colorful.
In
my childhood, the cartoons I have seen could be divided into three types
depending on their motherlands. The first one is Chinese cartoons. Chinese
cartoons are not so funny but they could be simple and nature, and they always
tell short and warm stories. The classic Chinese cartoons are Little Tadpoles Find
Mother, Hair Brothers, Black Cat Sir, Calabash Brothers and so on. The second
type is western cartoons, they come from Europe or America. Western cartoons are
really funny and interesting, I like to see this kind of cartoons because I can
get more pleasure. I can still remember the names of these cartoons, Tom And
Jerry, Transformers, Barbapapa, Mickey Mouse, He-Man.The third type is Japanese
cartoons. Japanese cartoons are very excellent, one can find any kinds of
cartoons from them. As the age growing, we would think the Chinese cartoons are
too simple for us, and we want change a funny cartoon that is different from
western cartoon, we can always choose a Japanese cartoon. We could see Doraemon
or Sakura Momoko when we were little children; we could select Saint Seiya or Naruto
when we were in teenagers; and when we aren’t children or pupils any more, we
also can see some cartoons, just like the cartoon movies directed by Hayao
Miyazaki. In my opinion, cartoons are not meaning naive, we can harvest many
things from cartoons. For example, I love cartoon very much. When I was a pupil,
I must do my best in my lessons and try my best to get a good behavior so that
my parents would let me see cartoon during the cartoon time, and I keep the
habits of try to do my best from then on. Therefore, there are no bad guys
among the cartoon fans.
