The book "Bronze and Sunflower" told a incredible story between Bronze, the boy form Damaidi who lost the ability of speaking in a horrible fire, and Sunflower, the girl moved to Damaidi from the city and was adopted by Bronze's family then became his beloved sister after the death of her father in an accident. With the help and trust between each other, kindhearted Bronze and artlessness Sunflower survive all conflicts and catastrophes happening in Damaidi, and miracle cast upon them when Sunflower's about to leave Damaidi and Bronze actually speaks and shout-out her name. I enjoy this magical and meaningful story. Different from other fantasy stories, the author of this book avoids using over-devlorative phrases, his writing was simple, but his texts were effective and strong, it teaches me to believe that miracle will cast upon us when pure love, kindness and true emotions really exists.
