He raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and blurted out a satisfied "Nice (great)" accompanied by a loud smacking tongue, and a magical expression pack was born.
The protagonist of the emoji is Michael Rosen, a famous British children's literature writer and poet, who was once awarded the title of "Poet Laureate of Fairy Tales".
This emoji package with its own voice is popular all over the Internet from a children's poem called "Hot Food (Hot Food)" written by Rosen, which tells the story of how "me", father, mother and cousin eat hot potatoes . Every screenshot in the video can be made into an emoji.
"We sat down to eat, but the potatoes were hot, I used a fork to pick up a small piece, (huhu) let it cool a little bit, and then put it in my mouth, tsk, NICE.
" Urchin" has recorded many of his works into a video. The exaggerated expressions and the right interpretation always make people smile and laugh wildly when they see him.
In early 2020, the 74-year-old unfortunately contracted the new crown and gradually recovered after spending seven weeks in the intensive care unit. After his recovery, he also wrote the fairy tale book "My Cane Friend". With the usual Rosenian humor, the book chronicles his journey from being completely unable to stand up on his own, to staggering to walk, to finally being able to walk home alone and proudly, back in the open arms of his family .
"If I had to list the greatest physical achievements of my life, one of them would be learning to walk again last year. This book reminds us that some very ordinary achievements can be amazing."
"Nice" One of Grandpa's most famous works is The Sad Book. When you read his story and look back at the old man, you will definitely cry with laughter.
"This is how sad I am"
The aquiline ears, the long angular nose, the round eyes, the long smile grinning to the base of the ears, and the signature buck teeth are Rosen drawn in dark pencil by Quentin Black. Under this portrait, Rosen wrote this passage:
This is a portrait of me, a sad man.
You might think that I am happy in the portrait.
In fact, I was very sad, but pretended to be happy.
I did this because I thought people would not like me if I looked sad.
Rosen has five children, two of whom are stepson. His second son Eddie tragically died of meningitis at the age of 18.
A grief-stricken Rosen wrote The Heartbreak Book. In this book, Eddie's journey from infancy to growth is recorded. He was playing with toys, playing football, lying in bed and reading, playing and running with his friends... These are the happiest Eddie in Rosen's memory, until the final picture of the story is frozen there. slices within the blank square.
Rosen came home that night and saw Eddie lounging on the sofa as if he had a cold. He started telling jokes to Eddie and putting him to bed, but when Rosen woke up at 6am the next morning, Eddie was not breathing.
The sadness was menacing, overwhelming, and surrounded him.
There is nowhere to run. The scenes about Eddie came to mind, and Rosen longed to speak to Eddie again. He remembered Eddie laughing with his friends down the street, Eddie playing the old man on the school stage, Eddie pretending to be the goalkeeper and ramming the pillow he threw...
Rosen went to kindergarten more often and returned to telling stories to the children. Sometimes, he also tells Eddie's story.
When the children asked, "How old is Eddie now," Rosen was speechless and could only reply, "He just died." The children nodded in understanding. After a few months, the kids are still asking this question.
Rosen was moved by the child's concern for the fate of others. He thought that he must give the children an answer, and "Sad Book" is the answer to this question.
On the last page of The Sad Book, Rosen lights a candle by himself, and misses blowing out candles on his birthday with his son.
Rosen likes the passers-by who seem to come and go, thinks of his mother who held an umbrella for him in the rain, and remembered the gatherings of the past...
It is because of the beauty of life that the sad Rosen has the courage to live, and this courage is like the candle at the end. Fire illuminates the dark night.
Rosen is like a weak fighter in the book. Even if every memory means facing the grief and uncovering the trauma again, he still does it, constantly breaking the gloom of grief, and encouraging people to be brave.
Happy childhood by the garbage dump
Rosen was born in Harrow, London in 1946. Until he was 17, he and his family lived in a tiny apartment with a wide alley at the back, where all the cars, vans and trucks had to pass. Construction workers such as carpenters, plumbers and painters congregate here.
There's a junkyard nearby that was Rosen and his friends' most precious amusement park from childhood.
Rosen's parents are both elementary and middle school teachers. Although his family was very poor, his childhood was immersed in his parents' stories and jokes. The father liked to sing to the children in different languages and read Shakespeare's plays to them. The complex English words and phrases in the play grew up with Rosen, gradually sparking Rosen's interest in words.
What his brother, who is four years older than Rosen, is good at is doing parodies. In their bedroom, the elder brother used those exaggerated and funny body and language to show Rosen the people he knew in a different way. "He often teases me to the point where he can't close his mouth. My brother is like another parent of mine. In his concept, everything that the school taught him must be taught to me."
So surrounded by laughter and laughter Childhood has shaped Rosen's optimistic and humorous character, and those scenes that made him laugh out loud in childhood have also become a valuable asset for his future creations.
In the blink of an eye, Rosen was 11 years old, and he went to the same school as his brother, when he began to fall in love with acting and writing. "I started writing poetry, about things I did when I was young, about girls, about nature and nature, and I wrote them very seriously."
Rosen's original vision was to be a doctor. But after he really started studying medicine, he found himself unhappy. So Rosen secretly set a small goal for himself: If he can go to the same school as his brother again, then continue to study English literature.
In this way, Rosen was lucky enough to be admitted to Oxford University's "English Language and Literature" major. After "abandoning medicine and pursuing literature", he began to devote himself to script writing and performance. His first work "Black Stone" was moved to the stage of the Royal Theatre during college.
Rosen has been in freelance practice since 1972. He writes books, writes for newspapers and magazines, teaches writing to school kids, does performances of children's literature, does radio shows...
Rosen wrote a large number of poems about his childhood experiences, but he did not intend to show them to children. It wasn't until Rosen's first collection of poetry, "Mind Yourself," was published by a children's book publisher in 1974, that he began to devote himself to the creation of nearly 140 children's books in various ways.
"No breathing in class"
Rosen often performs his comic poems in class. During one of his hilarious performances of "Chocolate Cake," he noticed that "the kids would look at the teacher as if with their eyes and ask 'Can we laugh?' 'Is this allowed?'" ".
Faced with such a situation, Rosen believes that although it is a matter of course for children to study hard, children are already faced with too many "oppressive" things in an education system full of exams and knowledge. Give them a little break and relax."
Rosen has criticized the system and format of teaching writing in the UK today on several occasions. "We cannot continue to ignore the relationship between the current examination system, the harsh school culture they create, and the deteriorating physical and mental health of children."
"No Breathing in Class," a collection of short poems by Rosen, will Adapting and recreating what happens often in school.
One of the short poems describes a psychopathic dictator teacher who makes very perverted rules to demonstrate her strictness, such as not allowing her students to breathe in the classroom.
"We had a very strict teacher, and in her class we weren't even allowed to breathe. She used to stand in front of us and say, 'Don't breathe!'" So the kids held their breath all morning. Actions.
At the start of the week, there were 48 children in the class. A week later, there were only five children left in the class. At the perverted request of the teacher, the weak students fell one by one. A child asked the teacher, "Can I go out for a breath?" But the teacher refused.
Rosen performed the poem vividly and made a video. Since it was published on YouTube in 2008, the video has been viewed more than 11 million times.
Rosen's YouTube account is called "Poems and Stories for Children." Rosen once again showed his genius - how to use humor to make children laugh.
He interprets his works in exaggerated and funny ways. "Children need humor to release, so that the world is not so scary."
