On October 26, 1822, a new student named Hans came to a Chinese elementary school near Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. He was going to start in the first grade of elementary school, and the students stared at him.
Why? because he is 17 years old. The average age of all students in this school is only 9 years old, and Hans has to go to school with his 7-year-old children in the first grade.
He is tall and thin, like a stork, standing among a group of naughty little penguins. The children are novel at first, and then mock and tease him.
Hans is an older child, he can't be as knowledgeable as a child. But although the child is young, their unfriendly language pierces his sensitive heart like needles, reminding him of his own childhood.
Hans’ father is a cobbler, he will make puppets for Hans. Hans often put a few puppets together to act. Although his family was poor, Hans did not feel hard. When a war broke out when
8z was 5z years old, my father was drafted into the battlefield and fought for two years. Although lucky to return home alive, but unfortunately my father got sick. Poor families have no money for medical treatment, so when Hans was ten years old, his father left the world on a snowy day.
Hans's mother could not read, the only thing she could do was to wash the clothes for someone to beg for food. No matter how hard she worked, she couldn't support two people, let alone send him to school. In desperation,
had to send the children to do child labor. At that time, the factory's work was heavy and hard, and the environment was poor. At the age of 11, he often worked dizzy.
One day, he was really breathless and started singing in a trance. Unexpectedly, he has a little talent for singing, so the workers would not let him do a lot of work, and asked him to sing for everyone, seeking a little comfort in the hard work. Everyone at
said that he should be an actor, so that he who has always been shy raised an inexplicable confidence. So, when his mother arranged for him to be an apprentice to a tailor, Hans had another idea.

reached 14 years old, he left his hometown with a little savings and his beloved puppet, and went to the big city to explore the world. As soon as
arrived in Copenhagen, he ran to the Royal Theatre by himself, and he nominated himself and wanted to be an actor. The theater manager looked at him for a while and refused him and said: "You are so skinny, you are so thin and want to act, you will be booed off the stage by the audience!"
desperately, Hans wanted to go to dance school to learn art. But the semester is over and I have very little money, so I look for opportunities to do odd jobs. But no matter where he went, he was always ridiculed by the rustic accent. On the surface, he was bullying, but he was angry with him, but he had to leave and change to work.
so he switched from east to west. When he was at a loss in his future, he saw that the Italian singer Sibon (Giuseppe Sibon) was going to run a singing school in Copenhagen.
Thinking of the encouragement given to him by his fellow workers, he desperately tried to break into Hiberny's house. He was just having a banquet. The curious guests listened to his story and his dreams, and were greatly moved by his singing. They generously donated and sent him to Hibernian school.
He lived in the school as he wished, but he did not expect that because of illness, it might be puberty, his voice changed, and his singing voice lost its original sweetness.
At the same time, he realized that he did not actually have the talent for dancing and acting, so he could not become a future star on stage. What if
goes behind the scenes? He began to work hard to read the plays of great writers such as Shakespeare, Goethe, and aspiring to become a playwright.
In 1822 he wrote a script and sent it to the Royal Theatre. The stage director of the theater found many errors in the sentence grammar in the script, and at a glance, he knew that the writer did not have a good formal education. canIf you read it again, you will find that the story of the script is very vivid, and there are wonderful dialogues from time to time.
So the stage director asked the theater's financial adviser Jones Collin (Jones Collin) to help, and Gu Lin applied for a royal scholarship for him. According to his degree, he was sent to the Chinese elementary school in Slagers to study basic Chinese.
This is why Hans, who is 17, is coming to the first grade of elementary school.
Although Hans has a good literary talent and can write scripts, he may be too old to get the basic grammar, and he barely passed the exam.
Of course, he may also feel dull and boring to learn the complicated grammar of Latin, so it is very painful to learn. The principal began to hate him too, and always wanted him to repeat.
In the end, he left school after five years of studying without a diploma. Although he hired a tutor on his own ability and finally passed the university entrance exam, he didn't go to school either. However, he does not give up, writes desperately, and creates with emotion.
His poems were highly acclaimed, the scripts were also very popular, and often sold out. He finally broke away from the fate of the ugly duckling and succeeded in creating his own future different from others.
and really let him fly into the sky to become a beautiful swan, but he relived his childhood dream, the fairy tale he wrote for his children.
His fairy tale became the childhood of all children.
