摘要：辰辰为小燕子致悼词：“对不起，小燕子。我们这么大的深圳，这么繁荣的深圳，这么发达的深圳，却没有为你留下安身之处。我们人类实在是太自私了。我们一定会反省，一定要改过。一定会和动物、植物友好相处。”
颂明&深探合作之《深圳童话》第七章
人间绝无仅有的文艺晚会
小燕子死掉了。
辰辰哭得像个泪人。
学校为小燕子举行了葬礼。把小燕子埋在花坛之中，上面种植了紫色、粉色和白色的燕子花。组成了一只小燕子的图案。
辰辰为小燕子致悼词：“对不起，小燕子。我们这么大的深圳，这么繁荣的深圳，这么发达的深圳，却没有为你留下安身之处。我们人类实在是太自私了。我们一定会反省，一定要改过。一定会和动物、植物友好相处。”
在辰辰致悼词的时候，飞来了成千上万只鸟，像一片彩云遮天盖地。它们都叼着一片花瓣，在学校的上空下了一场花瓣雨。
同学们、老师们以及当地的居民们全惊呆了。
学校由少先队牵头，成立了生态文明小卫士协会，辰辰当选为会长。经过这件事辰辰好像长大了很多。他感觉到自己的肩上有了沉甸甸的责任。
协会成立不久，就接到一个通知。大自然保护协会（TNC）组织的“国际青少年环境保护志愿者团”将要来深圳访问，届时会来梧桐山小学参加一个欢迎晚会。
如何办好这次晚会呢？辰辰开始动起了脑筋。他想到了千年古树篦齿苏铁。古树经历过那么岁月，见多识广，一定会有好主意。辰辰悄悄找到篦齿苏铁之后，果然找到了一个绝妙的方案。
在和校长汇报时，校长惊得眼珠子都快掉下来了，连声说：“这，这可能吗？”
辰辰拍着胸脯说：“相信我。绝对不会出任何差错。但是您必须承诺保密。”
校长犹豫了很久，最终点头答应了。
“国际青少年环境保护志愿者团”白天在梧桐山参观了一天。晚餐之后来到了梧桐山小学的演出厅。
突然，学校所有的灯一下子全灭了。人们下意识地“哇”地叫了一声。大家都以为是停电了。
辰辰对着麦克风大声说：“欢迎晚会现在开始！”
辰辰的话音刚落，一道流动的亮光从门外和两边的窗户缓缓地流进了，聚集在天花板和舞台的四周。柔和的光使演出厅亮如白昼。
人们又不约而同地惊叫起来：“萤火虫！”
接着，又有千万只彩蝶飞了进来，在台上组成了各种鲜花，栩栩如生，从春天一直变换到冬天。展示了深圳的四季花事。
大家情不自禁地鼓起掌来。
辰辰出现在舞台中央。他的头上有一顶萤火虫组成的光环：“下一个节目——人鸟虫大合唱。伴奏：梧桐山小学民乐队。”
在海风声、海浪声、林涛声、溪水声的伴奏中，各种鸟虫语此起彼伏，独唱、伴唱、重唱、合唱交替演唱。美不胜收。台下所有的关注都闭住呼吸，生怕发出一丁点的杂音。最后合唱团的歌声缓缓流出：“地球是我们的妈妈， 我们都是她的孩子， 热爱妈妈吧， 请不要给妈妈增添麻烦。”
演出结束，萤火虫、蝴蝶和鸟虫都飞走了。演出厅的灯光又亮了。
台下掌声雷动。人们用各种语言议论着：
“不可思议。”
“太精彩了。”
“此景只应天上有，人间难得几回闻。”
领导和来宾走上舞台和演员握手、合影。联合国环境署的官员罗伯特拍着辰辰的肩膀问：“How did this happen? ”
辰辰笑了一下，顽皮地回答：“It’s a secret. ”

Chapter 7: The Most Extraordinary Gala on Earth
The little swallow had died.
Chenchen cried until his face was streaked with tears.
The school held a funeral for the swallow. They buried it in a flower bed, planting purple, pink, and white iris flowers in the shape of a swallow's silhouette.
Standing before the memorial, Chenchen delivered his eulogy:
"Forgive us, little swallow. Our Shenzhen is so vast, so prosperous, so advanced—yet we failed to leave you a place to call home. We humans have been too selfish. We must reflect. We must change. We must learn to live in harmony with animals and plants."
As Chenchen spoke, thousands of birds suddenly filled the sky like a living tapestry of clouds. Each carried a flower petal in its beak, raining down a shower of blossoms over the school.
Students, teachers, and local residents stood in stunned silence.
Led by the Young Pioneers, the school established an "Eco-Guardian Association," with Chenchen elected as president. Through this experience, Chenchen seemed to mature overnight—the weight of responsibility settling firmly on his shoulders.
Not long after, the association received exciting news: The Nature Conservancy (TNC) was bringing an "International Youth Environmental Volunteer Delegation" to Shenzhen, and they would attend a welcome gala at Wutong Mountain Elementary.
How should they host such an event? Chenchen pondered deeply—then remembered the ancient Cycas pectinata. Having witnessed centuries of change, surely the wise old tree would have ideas. After a secret consultation, Chenchen returned with an extraordinary plan.
When he presented it to the principal, the man nearly fell out of his chair. "This... is this even possible?"
Chenchen thumped his chest. "Trust me. Nothing will go wrong. But you must promise to keep it secret."
After a long hesitation, the principal finally nodded in agreement.
The international delegation spent the day exploring Wutong Mountain. That evening, they arrived at the school auditorium for the gala.
Suddenly—total darkness. A collective gasp filled the room as everyone assumed a blackout had occurred.
Then Chenchen's voice rang through the microphone: "Let the welcome gala... begin!"
As his words faded, streams of shimmering light began flowing through the doors and windows, gathering along the ceiling and stage edges. The soft glow illuminated the entire hall as if by magic.
A second wave of gasps erupted: "Fireflies!"
Next came thousands of butterflies, swirling into breathtaking floral formations that morphed through Shenzhen's four seasons—from spring blossoms to winter plums.
The audience burst into spontaneous applause.
Chenchen appeared at center stage, crowned by a halo of fireflies: "Our next performance—a grand chorus of humans, birds, and insects! Accompanied by Wutong Mountain Elementary's folk orchestra."
To the soundtrack of ocean waves, forest winds, and babbling streams, an exquisite symphony of birdsong and insect chirps unfolded—solos, duets, harmonies—until finally blending into a moving chorus:
"Earth is our mother,
We are all her children.
Love our mother,
And never bring her trouble."
As the last note faded, the fireflies, butterflies, and singing creatures dispersed. The auditorium lights returned.
The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, murmurs of awe in multiple languages:
"Unbelievable!"
"Magnificent!"
"A scene fit for heaven, rare in the mortal world!"
When UN Environment Programme official Robert patted Chenchen's shoulder and asked, "How did this happen?" the boy just grinned mischievously:
"It's a secret."
Translation Highlights:
Cultural Nuances
Retained "此景只应天上有" poetic allusion with adapted English couplet
Kept "少先队" as "Young Pioneers" (standard translation)
Emotional Resonance
Enhanced the swallow's funeral imagery with "silhouette" detail
Amplified magical realism in the gala descriptions
Scientific Accuracy
Correctly used "Cycas pectinata" for千年篦齿苏铁
Maintained TNC's official abbreviation
Child Protagonist Voice
Preserved Chenchen's earnest eulogy tone
Kept his playful secret-keeping at the end
Added Depth:
Contrast between technological Shenzhen and ecological vulnerability
Intergenerational wisdom (ancient tree advising the child)
Global/local collaboration theme
This version maintains the original's ecological message while making the magical elements feel organically wondrous. The transition from tragedy to hope carries particular emotional weight in the English narrative flow.
