Heard? Wait, where did the news come from? ——Reflections on reading the picture book "I heard a fish caught a cold"

"I heard a fish caught a cold" is a work by Korean picture book writer Park Jung-seop. When I saw it on "Reading Library", I was attracted by the colorful fish on the cover and the interesting title. I bought it and wanted to explore with my children how fish catch colds and why the word "heard" is used.

Before going to bed, the children lay in bed, I unfolded the picture book and started to "screen" the "picture book movie" called "I heard a fish caught a cold".

Opening the first page, an ugly large-mouthed monkfish with a lantern on its head was hiding in the seagrass waiting for prey to approach, but it was very angry when the hunt failed.

Being hungry, it decided to use cunning tactics to break up the fish school so that it could take advantage of it.

So the monkfish spread the rumor that "I heard that a fish has caught a cold".

Every time a rumor is spread that a certain color of fish has caught a cold, when the fish don’t believe it, the cunning monkfish justifies it with specious reasons.

When the rumor was spread, the school of fish began to whisper, and the doubts fermented into firm belief. In order to protect themselves, fish schools use colors to divide themselves into camps to crowd out the so-called "cold" fish.

After the rumors were shaken, divided, and disintegrated, red fish, yellow croaker, and blue fish entered the belly of the monkfish one after another.

In the process of the spread of rumors, it is not that there are no fish who feel strange. However, when three people become tigers and many people speak for gold, when one fish is doubtful, gradually all the fish will believe it; when there are no fish to question the source of the information and no fish to trace the source, the authenticity will not be confirmed; When you intuitively feel that something is wrong, if you do not grasp this "wrong" or strange point to get to the bottom of it and ask rhetorical questions, the truth will gradually be covered up.

When Black Fish felt something was wrong and raised questions, Gray Fish still believed in the rumors, and the team continued to be disintegrated by the rumors, and the fish all went into the belly of the monkfish.

When darkness came, in the belly of the breathless monkfish, everyone finally realized something, but it was too late. If it hadn't been for a lucky sneeze, these fish would have almost turned into fish bones. .

The little fishes that regained their freedom have regrouped into a huge school of fish. Although monkfish is ugly and big, it can only give in when faced with a huge school of fish.

No matter how weak an individual is, if organized effectively, it can generate huge energy. But no matter how large the team is, once they are not on the same frequency and are not united, they can be quickly defeated.

Using rumors to hurt people's hearts is the most poisonous and effective way.

"A lie can become true if repeated three times." But in many cases, it is not necessary to repeat the lie three times, but once is enough to confuse people's minds. When designing the reason why the monkfish shouted, the author used a bright solid color background and large poster-like characters to make the rumor seem unquestionable.

The school of fish was disintegrated and swallowed up under the attack of such unquestionable tone and specious reasons. Even lies repeated many times made other sea creatures doubt each other: Are you also suffering from a cold?

In the face of a flood of information, how to distinguish between true and false? How not to be swayed by rumors? How not to be scared by lies? I think it is probably inseparable from the following points:

1. Identify the source of the information. Heard? Who did you hear that from? This is important. What did your opponent say? What the enemy said? Conflict of interest said? A question mark is especially important when the information comes from the opposite side.

2. Listen and understand. Chen Danqing said it well: The more you read, the more you discover that there is no absolute truth, and even the opinions provided by experts may be biased. Therefore, we can only make the information complete from as many angles and information channels as possible, and let various "prejudice" fragments work together to form the complete truth as possible.

3. Your intuition may be right. Hearing may be false, and seeing may not be true, but feeling may point to the truth. Although intuition cannot be used as evidence, when the idea that something is wrong flashes in your mind, don't ignore it easily. Ask more whys and raise more questions from different angles. The answers or contradictions in the answers to each question are likely to point to the real answers.

Park Jung-seop said that when he creates picture books, he does not deliberately distinguish whether the readers are adults or children. He hopes that people of all ages will have fun reading his books. You can have fun while reading my books, and you can continue to get new fun from reading them again and again.

"I heard a fish caught a cold" is such an excellent picture book that both adults and children can get fun and think from.
