When I was about 10 years old, I bought a bunch of famous books to read, and one of them was "The Little Prince".
When I reread The Little Prince, I was 20 years old, and some memories of 10 years ago are still in my mind. I vaguely remember a rose, a king, and the rest are blurry.
I finished reading this 97-page original book in English on the train from Manchester City back to Liverpool. The timing of reading this book is very appropriate. In fact, the film of the same name "The Little Prince" was released in 2015. Why did I not remember this until 2018. To be honest, I think something is destined for me to regain my memory at this time.
I vaguely remember that it was me on the train from Edinburgh to Fort William train station. I looked out the window at the blizzard and seemed to evoke something, something indescribable, like a long, long time ago. Somehow the words "Little Prince" flashed through my mind, and I knew it was an omen, it was some kind of call from the bottom of my heart, and I had to listen to my inner voice, because it It's true, and this feeling is constantly confirmed by myself on the journey, because, on my Scottish journey, the voice comes up again and again, "Little Prince", "King", especially when the bus crosses the road, looking at it. The scenery outside the window receding rapidly behind me, two voices kept echoing in my mind, I thought they must have some kind of connection, I knew it was time.
Back in Liverpool, I went straight to a bookstore on Bold street and bought the original English version of The Little Prince. At first, I was a little disappointed. I also deliberately asked the clerk if there was a thicker Edition, because this version seemed too simple and too few. The 97-page book was interspersed with hand-painted graffiti versions, which made me I think it's a shortened version. But the clerk told me "This is the best edition cause it remain the original illustration." "Alright", I reluctantly believed her. "
It was later proved that she was correct.
" All greatness is hidden in the unremarkable mundane ."
I read the book in just two days. The high school level English words made it easier for me to understand the details in the original book. Although I didn't fully understand two of the points after watching the movie, it didn't affect my understanding of this book. Inspired by this book. I thought that after reading this book, I would shed tears and get back the most primitive innocence of my childhood, but I didn't, maybe I was still in the pain of "Man City's failed signing." ", but I do realize that this is a book that needs to be very quiet to read.
I have to admit that many of the sentences in the book will be a pure and beautiful poem. I always have the habit of reading books to draw good sentences, but this time I didn't. This book seems to give me a feeling that I can't bear to write. , I was worried about destroying the original feeling, so I planned to memorize them as much as possible.
The description of the little prince and the rose in the book is the most moving part for me. I had deep doubts about what love was until something happened three months ago that prompted me to turn back my high school days, and when I started taking a hard look at a relationship, I began to understand. Yes, love is like the little prince and roses. Love requires responsibility and courage. The little prince is too young to know how to love the only rose on his planet, but he is loyal, watching the sunrise, watching the sunset, fertilizing, loosening the soil, killing insects, and finally, using a glass cover, he Rose covered up. In my subjective opinion, this seems to be a sign that the little prince simply does not know how to love. The rose needs air. Even if she has only four thorns and is in danger of being attacked by insects, she should not be prevented from breathing and the possibility of facing the world directly. In my opinion, the little prince's approach is somewhat selfish and indebted. OK.
"Because I love you, I want to protect and cover you."
At the end of the book, the dialogue between the little prince and the fox is also very exciting,
Before I met you, you were just one of thousands of little boys, you were so ordinary to me, but when we made a connection, you were the only little boy in the world for me.
After I met you, even the blond color of the wheat field made sense because of the color of your hair.
Love seems to be a kind of commitment, a link between people, it connects two ordinary hearts, it seems to be a kind of you, me and me, you. ' You are a part of me in my life because you were in my past even when you were gone '
If you fall in love with a flower on a planet. Then, as long as you look up at the starry sky at night, you will feel that the stars in the sky are like blooming flowers.
This kind of feeling must be experienced by everyone who has loved, and it suddenly reminded me of the unique romance of our ancestors.
Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head to think of your hometown
I know that at this moment, we are all looking at a bright moon in the sky, I am thinking of you, and you are thinking of me.
Probably so.
Two days later, I found the "Little Prince" movie through Netflix again.
I have to say that this movie made the little prince what it should look like in my heart. However, the movie did not stop at copying the original book. More, it was a re-creation.
I have to say that it would be extremely cruel for the little prince if he never grew up.
One day, the little prince will grow up and become a king.
The king here refers not to the king who commands all things in the film and the book, but more, he is a symbol of courage and firmness.
I think so, probably because I have some kind of obsession in my heart. In my opinion , a person's growth is a process of constantly taking on and facing his own cowardice. Only after experiencing these painfully can he become a king.
In the movie, the current image of the little prince appears as a cowardly-looking sanitation worker. He seems to be no longer the little prince of the past, because he has forgotten the only roses he once guarded. A world in which all that is left is the work in front of you. I know, this is not the little prince in my heart.
When the little prince saw the fragments of his past scattered by the little girl, he suddenly realized that on the distant planet B-612, there lived a rose he once loved, and he remembered.
So he stood up bravely and made up for the mistakes he made in time. Together with the little girl, he saved the plane and released the stars of the greedy in the glass jar. Yes, they were free. I think, at this moment, my little prince is back, but he is a little different, he is more courageous and dares to take on it.
Love is courage, and love needs the nourishment of courage.
At the end of the film, the little prince returns to his planet B-612, which is the climax of the film.
As the little prince said, it was not cleaned in time, the baobab had made Catastrophe, and among the vines, they found the only remaining pure land, and there was the rose that the little prince had protected with a glass cover, and she seemed to be doing very struggle.
When the little prince lifted the glass cover, the rose was lifeless, and when he touched it lightly, the petals withered and turned to ashes.
When the sun rose again, the little prince did not kneel on the ground and weep bitterly, as many viewers probably expected. On the contrary, he looked so determined and calm . What appeared in front of the little prince was the only rose in the universe that never withered in his heart. He knew that the rose never left him. She would accompany the little prince at every sunrise and sunset. It has always been in his heart, and will always be the one and only flower in the universe.
as that sentence
If you fall in love with a flower on a planet. Then, as long as you look up at the starry sky at night, you will feel that the stars in the sky are like blooming flowers.
Yes, she should be like this, no matter how long she waits, there will be an end. I can't imagine how many lonely days and nights this rose must have spent in the endless dark night, looking at the stars in the sky. .
No relationship can last forever, even if I make a vow of eachother, no matter how firm I wait, it will not be able to withstand the devastation of wind and rain. However, it is death that makes love last forever. When I know that there is no eternity in this world, I will I will spend my limited time with you, and you will become the only rose in my world, just because we have each other.
Love doesn't seem to be a result, she looks more like a process. What if we were together, could we be forever? We all face death one day, how do I measure our love? Time, what kind of dimension should it be, we are all growing and changing with each other, just like the little prince who left his B-612, his departure cannot be stopped by roses, you can never stop a person from moving forward footsteps.
Love is not a bondage, love is not that two people stay together day and night, one day, someone will leave, because he is eager to see the bigger world besides you, of course, he will still miss you . Perhaps it is only after experiencing the outside world that we will finally find out that even though there are thousands of choices in this universe, it is only because we have made choices for each other in a specific time and space, we once had each other, and you are mine only.
Go on with courage, little prince. One day, you will be a king, but you will still remember that in your heart there will always be a little prince.
Not everyone can get back the little prince we used to be. We were all little princes, but when we grow up, many people forget this fact.
At a graduation ceremony many years ago, I awkwardly wrote this sentence on my classmate record with a blue pen.
Always keep a childlike heart.
When I regain this memory, I will think of my stupid and romantic dreams. They often appear in my dreams and call me. In my heart, there was once a lovely little prince.
Adults are always very strange
Today, many years later, when I re-examine the road I have traveled over the past 20 years, my parents, working overtime day and night, seem to have forgotten what they once loved, they seem to have completely forgotten to smile, to forget I swear I'll never be an adult like them.
But I hope even more that I will become a king, take the rose that I once had in my heart, be brave and go on.
