Birds and statues

A new statue has been erected in the square, drawing widespread attention. Here, a humble bird finds tenderness and contentment. The statue has been loved, then abandoned, but the bird remains, never leaving. Abandoned, exploited, and transformed, the bird comforts it, accompanies it, and sings for it. Together, they journey, giving each other meaning through love and companionship.
Da Wu, winner of the 35th Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Award's "Chinese Newcomer Award," created a story about love and companionship, using a bird and a statue as the protagonists. The story explores the transformation of unequal relationships, the positive meaning of companionship, and the growth gained through life's journey. The story contains metaphors about intimacy, inviting diverse interpretations.
