英文版《龙族》书评

The Boy in White T-shirt

The book named Dragon Raja played a seriously important role in my high school .This popular Chinese novel has accompanied me for five years and is highly possible to become my company for the next fifty years.

The series of novels based on fantasy as well as reality make up an amazing world which just is the young’s cup of tea. Therefore, one of its shining spots is “Imagination and the perfect combination of youthful enthusiasm”. The book has not been finished, and the writer is writing nowadays.

To begin with, some critics regarded it as “the Chinese Harry Porter”. However, the Dragon RajaⅢ（The Dark Moon Tide）finished on 3/20/2014 and were extremely welcomed by readers, which proved its charm and strength as a classic in fantasy filed. In a simple way, it gives a vivid account of the process of the young’s growing-up; in a deeper level, it expresses the fight between people and machine in the modern industrial civilization.

My favorite character in the novel is a supporting role, a Chinese boy named Zihang Chu .He is not only a typical top student but a “crazy”, a man as precise as a watch. The boy in white T-shirt with a black tennis bag on his back, just came into my life in a pouring rainy day, and became my idol and friend from the first sight. His parents divorced in his childhood and his mother married a rich businessman soon. He looked forward to the warmth of family but he cannot tell it. His father was missing in a mystery in connection with Cassel College in a rainy day. In order to get information about his father, after graduating from high school Chu applied to study at the Cassel College, a mysterious school in America.Certainly,the adventure started.

There is no doubt that Chu is an excellent person, physically and mentally. However, it is not his good looking or high IQ but his will and self-control that attract me and millions of readers. Influenced by his father, Chu is strict with himself .Whatever difficulties he is confronted with, he never backs away. Several times death is coming right straight, he just runs out. It is sure that “danger” is exaggerated in a fantasy. His spirits of facing things bravely inspire me a lot in real life, though. Whenever I get into tricky situation, thinking the boy that firmly handles the sword and never gives up, I will feel courage and motivation to go ahead.

In fact, Chu is silent and has little facial expressions, what he really cares is action. In human society, he is like an alien. There is something with him, the loneliness. In the author’s word, Chu “is like a lonely wolf”, he tries his best to find out about his father’s secrets at any costs. He owns big power at the cost of lifetime, risks his life to complete tasks, never backs away.

In my heart, Chu is a just a kid, forcing himself to do everything he thinks he can.If he cannot finish, then that is his fault. He is someone that hasn’t gained warmth but wants others to feel warm. There is a word in the book, “lonely kid hides in heart”.Chu is that boy, the boy bound to be a king.

Loneliness, responsibility, courage, and warmth, these are cherished qualities I feel from Chu. The story of Dragon RajaⅣ has started and Chu plays an important part in it.The adventure continues, and the growing-up never ends up

The boy in white T-shirt disappears in crowds.What fine weather it is!
