I also try to draw my own illustrations. Her works are exquisitely structured, logical and humorous, which may also benefit from her early study of science. This book won the 1968 Newbery Children's Literature Award; This book also won an international novel award. This shows how good this book is! The angel statue is a fascinating work. The two brothers and sisters ran away from home and stayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for more than a week. The plot is meticulous and touching. In the story, 12-year-old Claudia carefully arranged all the adventures, which amazed us. The two brothers and sisters walked together, their actions were unhurried, and their emotions were stable and calm, which made the unimaginable background acceptable to us.

Reflections on angel statues
After reading the book Statue of Angels, I understand a truth: Only by being brave in exploration and not afraid of difficulties can we gain true knowledge.
This novel describes Claudia and her "rich" and stingy brother Jamie, who are tired of the monotonous life at home. They both wash dishes and clean trash cans every day ... They want to do something unexpected, so they carefully planned a "run away from home". The place they chose was the Metropolitan Museum in new york. They magically spent a week in the heavily guarded Metropolitan Museum! At the same time, a little angel statue suspected to be carved by Michelangelo is on display in the museum. Claudia was immediately attracted by the statue, and she decided to find out who made it.
They first found the "M" representing Michelangelo on the white velvet cushion of the statue. In order to verify, they searched in the bookstore of the museum for a day and finally found a book with "M" printed on it, which confirmed that the angel statue was Michelangelo's work. In order to tell the secret to the museum director as soon as possible, they tried their best to borrow a typewriter, rent a mailbox and finally post the letter. They were relieved and accomplished an important thing, not to mention how happy they were, but they were already short of money and had little left when they left home, so they had to walk home.
After reading the book Statue of Angels, I understand a truth: when we encounter setbacks and failures, we should have a positive attitude towards reality, so this positive attitude can inspire us to keep working hard and explore, and make us find the key to success.
Reflections on Biography of Hulan River
In the summer vacation, I read the autobiographical novel Biography of Hulan River by Xiao Hong, a famous female writer. The novel expresses the complex between the author and grandfather, and depicts people and things in a childlike style, satirizing, appreciating, being lively and lonely.
Opening the first page of the book, I seem to be in the small town of Hulan River in the 1920s. Hulan River is not prosperous, but it contains vitality and sadness in monotony. There are foreign doctors who pulled teeth on the cross street of Dongerdao Street, little reunion's daughter-in-law who was tortured to death by local ignorance, businessmen who sell twist in hutong and hang vermicelli in vermicelli room, eccentric second uncle, diligent and honest Feng crooked mouth, neat grandmother, and "I" who studied Tang poetry with my grandfather and worked in the fields.
These scenes are vividly described by the author in humorous and childlike language. In particular, the story of the author and grandfather was deeply left in my mind, and I unconsciously compared my childhood with the author's. Childhood is happy and lonely in the author's pen. According to Xiao Hong, these stories are not beautiful. We believe that reading the Biography of Hulan River makes us feel the happiness and luck of childhood, so as to cherish today's happy life more.
