There's a Pigeon Named "Come Back"/有只鸽子叫"回来" [Chinese]

By: 周锐

Renowned children's literature author Zhou Rui both writes and illustrates this work, using his signature humor to convey the essence of Peking Opera culture. 儿童文学名家周锐自写自画，以幽默笔触传递京剧文化精髓。 Believe it or not, a pigeon can perform alongside actors in Peking Opera Mei Wanhua is studying to play the female lead (dan) role in an opera troupe, but her teacher criticizes her for having "dead fish eyes." One day, by chance, Wanhua rescues an injured pigeon from a hawk's talons and brings it home to care for it. When the pigeon recovers, Wanhua releases it, sending it back home. But as the evening sky fills with sunset hues, the pigeon unexpectedly flies back. Wanhua puts a pigeon whistle on it and names it "Come Back." From then on, her gaze always follows "Come Back" as it soars through the sky. One day during a rehearsal of The Wild Goose Delivers a Letter, her teacher notices that Mei Wanhua's eyes have come alive-and "Come Back" miraculously becomes the wild goose in the opera. 信不信由你，鸽子也能配合演员唱京剧！ 梅宛华在戏班学唱旦角，却被先生批评是死鱼眼。一次偶然，宛华从鹞鹰爪下救出一只受伤的鸽子，带回家悉心照顾。待鸽子痊愈后，宛华将它放飞，让它回家。没想到晚霞满天的时候，鸽子竟然又飞了回来。宛华给鸽子戴上鸽哨取名叫"回来"，从此目光总是追着飞翔的"回来"有一次彩排《鸿雁传书》时，先生发现梅宛华的眼神灵动起来，"回来"也传奇地成为这出戏里的鸿雁。
