I have forgotten when I started to read "Little Prince" for the first time. Since I read it for the first time, this book has been following me. This is a fairy tale, a fairy tale written for adults. This is a classic, the so-called classic is the book you always want to reread, every time you read it, you have to get the feeling and harvest. I have read the fairy tale "Little Prince" three times, and I want to read it again.
I have long wanted to write a review to commemorate my reading, but if I don't read a classic several times, I really dare not write. The content of the classic is too rich. I'm afraid that my level is limited and I can only reveal the tip of the iceberg of the classic.
The story outline of the little prince:
I'm an airplane pilot. Once I flew a plane and fell into the desert. In the deserted desert, I met the little prince. Through the conversation with the little prince, I know that the little prince came to the planet B-612, which is very small and only as big as a house. Because of the misunderstanding between the little prince and his rose, the little prince decided to leave the planet where he lives. Before he met me on earth, the little prince had been to several other planets and met all kinds of people, including kings, vanity lovers, drunkards, businessmen and geographers. Finally, the little prince came to the earth. The first thing he met was a snake. The snake said something like a riddle. The snake told the little prince, "if you want to go back to your planet, I can send you back one year from now."
Then, the little prince began to travel on the earth. He wanted to find people on the earth. He met a flower in the desert. The flower told him, "there are about six or seven people." the little prince went on, walked a long way, and found the way to the crowd. The little prince found a large rose, and then the fox appeared. The little prince and the fox became friends I lost my friend. After that, the little prince met me. He asked me to draw a sheep for him.
We had some conversations. In the vast, desolate and lonely desert, we became friends. When the little prince decided to go back to his planet, I was very sad. When the little prince left, I looked up at the starry sky every day, because the little prince said, "when you look up at the sky at night, because I live on one of the stars, because I'm there to laugh, then for you, it's like the stars all over the sky are smiling at you. Only you can see the stars that laugh.
This is a fairy tale with profound meaning. The author sees the hypocrisy, greed, calculation, serious and lifeless of the adults through the eyes of the little prince. The author integrates his life feelings into this fairy tale: love, death, responsibility and so on are the things the author wants to express through this fairy tale.
I was most moved by two details. The first was that the little prince and his rose had a quarrel. The little prince planned to leave the planet where he lived. That morning, the little prince carefully cleaned the whole planet and dredged the dead volcano. "There was a trace of sadness in the little prince's heart. All the work he was used to was very beautiful that morning. When he finally got to work, he was very happy Once he watered the flowers and was ready to cover them, he felt like he was going to cry.
He said goodbye to Hua. Hua said to him, "yes, I love you." but now it doesn't matter. "Then Hua urged the little prince to leave.
Because she didn't want him to see her tears. She is such a proud flower.
I was deeply impressed by this detail when I read it for the first time. Obviously, the little prince loves her flowers, and his flowers also love the little prince, but the flowers are too "proud", but there is a hot heart hidden under her proud hard appearance. She just let the little prince "tame" her in this way, but the little prince at that time did not understand all this.
This detail is more like us, how many people in the complex life, in the competitive society, we all build a hard shell for ourselves, few people can go into the soft part of our heart, so misunderstanding and indifference come into being and spread!
Only when we open the shell wrapped in us, open our hearts to communicate with each other, love the world with heart and care for everyone around you, can we understand the meaning of flower existence!
The second detail is that it was the eighth day in the desert. When I ran out of water, the little prince and I decided to look for a well. "The reason why the desert is beautiful is that there is a well hidden somewhere in it..."
After a long journey, we finally found a well. "He drank water, his eyes closed, and the water was as beautiful as a festival. It's not just a life sustaining material, it comes from the trekking under the starlight, from the singing of the windlass, from the strength of the arm. It delights the mind like a gift. "
After reading this detail, I think the author is not describing the beauty of the desert, but also describing his home and childhood. Home is beautiful, because there are people who give you warmth and need you to give warmth, in fact, that person is not just a person, you spent time and effort on him, you domesticated him, he also domesticated you!
In this world, each of us is insignificant, just like a grain of dust! But for those you domesticated, and those who domesticated you, each of us is unique and irreplaceable.
Once upon a time, we were all children, just like princes, pure and sincere. We would shed tears for a flower and look up at the stars. But when we grow up, we all become vain people, kings, drunkards, lighters and merchants. In a word, we become adults. The world of adults is boring and terrible. The little prince is reminding adults that no matter how long we have been adults, we should always keep a childlike innocence, so that the world will not be left with cold numbers.
One of my favorite books. Love it. Thanks for the post.
