During the period when I was studying English seriously, I happened to receive a gift from my friend and received an English version of "The Little Prince". In order to improve my English reading ability, I insisted on reading the book, but my English level was too low and I didn't understand everything. I couldn't even express the content of the whole book in full.
and later, I always heard the story of "The Little Prince" around me, but I never participated in the discussion. Because I only know the little prince, I just know it.
After more than a year, I finally read the Chinese version of "The Little Prince". From the hazy way of reading the English version, I feel that I am now reading the Chinese version of black and white. I want to say, it’s a pity that I met "The Little Prince" many years later.
. I am lonely, and the little prince is also lonely.
The famous writer Zhou Guoping read the author's loneliness, and he said:
Every time I read "The Little Prince", I am shocked by the melancholy that is soaked in the whole book. The best fairy tale writers must be very lonely people. The reason they tell stories to their children is not for entertainment and persuasion, but for the pursuit of understanding and resonance that cannot be obtained in the adult world.
It reflects on us like a mirror, and it reflects on the long-submerged childlike innocence. In the busy study and work, we are exhausted and addicted to pursuing fame, profit and wealth. "The Little Prince" allows us to think about what is important in life, and the essential things in life cannot be seen by our eyes.
In the book, I have lived alone since I was a child, and I have no friend who cares about my heart. On the night when the plane was forced to land in the Sahara Desert , I slept in the desert far away from people and thousands of miles away. Compared to those in distress who are struggling and floating in the vast ocean on wooden rafts, I seem even more lonely and helpless.
Until I met the little prince...
The little prince lives on a lonely planet and lives a life that is not smooth and pleasant. For a long time, his only pastime was to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the setting sun. On the day of the worst mood, the little prince watched the sun set forty-three times.
When I grew up, I realized that fairy tales are also lonely, and fairy tales are also melancholy.
Loneliness is not a big problem, but once you get lonely, it is difficult to get rid of it, until we meet another lonely person,
. The imagination of children, adults know nothing about
"Adults always need children to go all out and explain it to them repeatedly, otherwise they will know nothing about it, which really makes us tired."
When I was six years old, I drew a painting: it was a python that swallowed an elephant. When I showed my masterpiece to the adults, I asked if my painting scared them. They just replied, "What's the scary thing about a hat?"
In order to let adults see more clearly, I drew the python and the elephant in its belly. The adults looked at it and advised me, "Don't draw these pythons with open or unopened belly, and focus on geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar."
That's it. I gave up painting when I was six years old, and my career as a painter also began to ruin
This is adults, and they only have "geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar" left in their minds. Not only do they not understand children's imagination, they will even stop children's imagination and let children grow up towards their old-fashioned appearance.
If you tell the adults: "I saw a beautiful red brick house with geraniums placed in front of the window and doves perched on the roof..." They would not have the ability to imagine what kind of house it was.You must say to them, "I saw a house worth hundreds of thousands of francs!" They will be amazed, "What a beautiful house!
