Chapter 143: The Most Passionate Anime in History

"A Rabbit with a dream of a great nation..." Sun Zhibin sat in front of the television, chewing over this sentence repeatedly.

Chu Chu was only five years old; she could not yet understand these things, only feeling that a group of Rabbits sitting together was truly too cute.

The scene switched, and a Rabbit located overseas appeared.

He sat in front of a desk, the radio playing that very sentence, surrounded by Eagle Sauce, Ox, and Cat.

He muttered to himself: "Hm? A new Zhonghuajia..."

"I want to go back!"

This Rabbit pushed open the door of an Eagle Sauce and said: "Dear, I have come to bid you farewell; I am going home."

That Eagle Sauce sitting in a chair heard this, immediately walked to the Rabbit's side, and said: "Oh! My friend!"

"Calm down first!"

He was no longer just casually watching an anime with his daughter; he had developed an extremely intense interest.

At the same time, he was immensely shocked in his heart.

"To think such an anime has been released! Is this really still the Children's Channel I am familiar with?"

Sun Zhibin's wife also understood what was happening at this moment; she stared blankly at the television, then at her daughter who wore a smile, never expecting the Children's Channel to actually broadcast such an anime for children to watch after dinner!

"This episode is called 【Wanderer Returns】," Sun Zhibin said to his wife with burning eyes.

He had not expected that the wanderer in the title would actually be that person!

The scene shifted, and this Rabbit who wanted to return to Zhonghuajia was locked up.

He turned his head back; located behind him were a large group of locked-up Rabbits.

Sorrow immediately appeared on Chu Chu's face, and she said: "Daddy! How can they lock up the Rabbits! So many Rabbits have been locked up!"

Sun Zhibin raised his hand to rub his daughter's head and said: "Yes, they were all locked up back then."

Just then, this Rabbit turned around and asked: "Dears, why are you locked up here?"

A group of Rabbits sat there, their long rabbit ears so cute, their voices also very adorable, saying in unison: "We want to go home, to go back and build Zhonghuajia."

For some reason, these few simple words made Sun Zhibin's eyes instantly turn red.

He was a history teacher; he understood all too well what Zhonghuajia was like at that time.

These Rabbits clearly had excellent treatment overseas, yet they still wanted to go home, disregarding everything to go home!

To go back and build that Zhonghuajia which needed them!

This group of Rabbits looked at the Rabbit who had been newly locked in and asked: "What about you?"

He sat down and said: "Me? Going back to plant an Apple Tree."

Chu Chu looked up at her father and said: "Daddy, this Rabbit said he wants to go back to plant a tree!"

Sun Zhibin's eyes were red, and he said with a choked voice: "Yes, he is going back to plant an Apple Tree."

A tree reaching the heavens, a tree that could make the earth shake!

A tree that could protect Zhonghuajia!

A tree that meant we would not take the initiative to threaten others, but would also fear no threats from others!

It was very difficult for him now to describe to his five-year-old daughter that the Apple Tree was not actually a tree, and the Mushroom Cloud was not actually a cloud.

It was a weapon, yet it was also the protective umbrella of Zhonghuajia.

Inside this apple... there is a core!

On the television, this Rabbit suddenly smiled and said: "How nice."

The Rabbit beside him asked: "What is it, dear?"

Just then, this Rabbit sat there, hugging his knees with both hands, and said: "So I am not the only one, not the only one, still hiding that sentence."

One Rabbit after another stood up.

The sonorous and powerful prelude of "Chasing Dreams Red Heart" rang out at this moment, stirring the heart.

The Rabbits said that sentence in unison.

"【Every Rabbit has a dream of a great nation!】"

Chu Chu did not understand this Drama; when she looked up again, she saw that her father had already taken off his Glasses, his face covered in tears.

"Daddy, why are you crying?" she asked in her milky voice.

The singing echoed in the living room of this family at this moment.

This episode is called 【Wanderer Returns】.

And the first sentence of this song sings:

"【Where exactly is the world full of flowers,

If it truly exists, then I will surely go!】"

The episode ended; Sun Zhibin walked to the washroom alone, and after splashing his face with water, he returned to the living room.

Chu Chu could not understand this anime, but Sun Zhibin understood it Too Understand.

And precisely because he understood it Too Understand, his feelings were all the deeper.

Just like the line sung in "Chasing Dreams Red Heart": "【I want to stand tall on the highest mountain peak, not caring if it is a cliff or a precipice】."

In reality, after these wanderers returned, they truly went to places with harsh environments. Those places were hidden and mysterious, and they were barren.

After the episode finished airing, the Children's Channel began to play long and tedious advertisements.

But it was precisely because of these advertisements that Sun Zhibin's emotions were eased.

It was his first time watching television and not hating the advertisements so much.

The content of the sixth episode was more intense, called 【Negotiation and Mushroom Egg】.

When it played to the middle section, the scene indeed arrived at the Great Gobi, just as Sun Zhibin had expected.

A group of Rabbits lived here in anonymity, just to grow an Apple Tree for Zhonghuajia that could shelter everyone.

One could see a Rabbit standing in front, speaking with high spirits.

In this episode, the content of what this Rabbit said was a tribute to the film "Hengkong Chushi".

One only heard him say loudly and with great poise: "Dear ones! The war at home is over, and the war abroad is also over!"

"We weren't allowed to wear red and green, nor were we allowed to go home to visit our fathers and mothers."

"Why? Why?"

One saw this Rabbit circle the entire venue, and then walk back to the high ground.

This segment of voice acting was extremely difficult; it had stumped the voice Actor back then.

Because Luo Mo's Requirement was very high; he was benchmarking it directly against the film. And the one who shouted this part in the film was none other than Teacher Li Xuejian.

It is worth mentioning that the Actors in this film also included Teacher Li Youbin, who is Li Yunlong from "Bright Sword".

This high-spirited and vigorous Rabbit stood on the high ground and shouted loudly: "Today, I can tell everyone this 'why'. We are going to use our own hands on this Great Gobi beach to create our own—Mushroom Cloud!"

Once the three words "Mushroom Cloud" came out, it was inexplicably funny.

Especially with the Rabbits below waving their hands and shouting one by one: "Create the Mushroom Cloud! Stand tall!"

But for some reason, even in such a funny scene, Sun Zhibin felt his blood boiling as he watched.

This stretch of Great Gobi was so desolate that the sound of the wind alone made one feel uncomfortable.

Who could have imagined that in such a Zhonghuajia back then, they never compromised when encountering any difficulties or threats.

Yes, this is a nation that mends the sky itself when it breaks, cures the floods itself when they occur, and would personally shoot down ten suns if they existed!

Then, we will also build the Mushroom Cloud ourselves!

It was right here on this Great Gobi, on a certain day, that the earth began to tremble, the clouds in the sky were shaken apart, and a Mushroom Cloud rising into the sky enveloped the earth.

A powerful Zhonghuajia, from this moment on, on the world's grand stage—emerged!

Sun Zhibin felt he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight; he had to finish watching all the previous episodes of "That Year Those Rabbits" on the internet later.

With red eyes, he said to Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, how about Daddy accompanies you to watch 'That Year Those Rabbits' every day from now on?"

"Really!" Chu Chu jumped up with joy.

Although she felt she couldn't understand many parts, she just thought the Rabbits were so cute.

Sun Zhibin's wife watched this scene from the side and shook her head with a smile.

She was not as sentimental as her husband; she was just a little woman who didn't understand matters of state or the world, but when she watched this anime, her emotions would also rise and fall along with it.

Moreover, she could also tell that there was no harm in children watching this anime. Although she might not be able to understand it now, when she grows up, and when she learns about it in history class, she might suddenly recall it and suddenly understand:

"Ah! So you were such Rabbits!"

Sun Zhibin looked at his excited daughter and asked with a smile: "Does Chu Chu like this anime very much?"

To be honest, he initially thought, would it be too complicated for a child?

In reality, the more you treat a child like a child, the more childish the child becomes. The less you treat a child like a child, the more they will reveal their magical side.

Didn't children enjoy watching those anime with substance in the past just as much?

Chu Chu listened to her father's words, stood up, and said: "Yes! I like watching it! I think the Rabbits are the cutest, cuter than Eagle Sauce, and cuter than the Mao Xiong!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhibin touched the child's head and said softly: "Yes, they are the cutest people in this world."

……..

……..

The night was deep. After coaxing the child to sleep, Sun Zhibin went into the study and finished watching the first few episodes of "That Rabbit" with his wife.

He felt that on the way to school tomorrow, he would definitely have "Chasing Dreams Red Heart" on repeat in his car.

Sun Zhibin looked at his wife and said: "I think this anime is very meaningful; both adults and children should watch it!"

At this thought, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, the last class this Friday is a study hall, and it just so happens to be my turn to sit in the classroom for duty this week."

"It's decided, I'll play 'That Rabbit' for the students during this Friday's study hall!"
