"It's like a flower. If you fall in love with a flower growing on a star, then at night you feel sweet and happy when you look at the sky, and all the stars are like flowers."
The first time I read the little prince, in high school, was immediately attracted by his fresh writing style and the simple world. Six years later, at the moment, read the "Little Prince", can not help but again and again to tears, and palpitation for Prince's mind be sad, moved by his pure and persistent love, for his innocence and mourning gradually to disappear. As the author of St. Erik Marcus Paley said in the preface, he put the fairy tale "to Leon? Wirth, when he was a boy"
I didn't know this book was very famous in the West. It was a book that my adult and children liked to read. No wonder my mother would give it to me. I read it later. The little prince lived on a planet that was very small, and watered every day his roses. Then the little prince traveled away from the planet and saw a lot of strange monsters on the planet until he came to earth and saw a pilot who had broken a plane in the desert. The little prince had a deep friendship with the pilot, but he missed his roses very much. In order to leave the earth, the little prince was bitten by a venomous snake, and then the pilot never saw him again.
At the beginning of the book, the irony of the unimaginative people, "these adults never actively understand anything; and for our children, always explain to them again and again......" "So I wouldn't talk to him about pythons, primeval forests, or stars. I only talk about things they can understand, such as bridge, golf, politics, ties, etc.. In this way, this person will be very happy, one met a reasonable and considerate person." And the children said to adults, "I saw a beautiful house, which was made of rose bricks, a window with a geranium, and a pigeon on the roof."." They have to be able to imagine what the house looks like, and you have to say, "I saw a house worth twenty thousand dollars."." They have to say, "that house is sure to be beautiful." Saint Exupery is perhaps in adults alone, then through the little prince's eyes to find adults much ado about nothing, to share the wealth, money and power in order to forget the knowledge of the true value of his life really need to lose their most valuable innocence and innocence, lost their imagination and beauty.
From the little prince's words, we can see that everything has its surface and authenticity. In many cases, we only see the superficial things, but ignore the inherent benefits. The little prince remembered the fox's words: "only the mind can see the essence of things; what is really important is invisible to the naked eye."". So he said, "just because there is a flower that we can't see, the stars look so beautiful."." "The desert is beautiful, because somewhere in the desert there is a well hidden."." Ah, the little prince's heart is very rich. A lot of things are mysterious because we can't see them with our naked eyes. In fact, these are so simple, just need a heart full of love.
