Poor bears comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade (果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.
This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William’s visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.
―Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,‖ the Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, ―the well- meaning Paddington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings.‖
The movie, described as ―a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning‖ by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they can’t say his Peruvian name. After the fuzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns’ home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that ―even if he’s from a different species, he’s still family.‖
As Phoenix magazine put it, ―The story shows British sympathy and kindness‖ as the refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.
Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, ―Paddington has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home‖, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.
And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people ―Mr.‖, ―Mrs.‖ and ―Miss‖, rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.
