Fairy tales are our weapon against the world, a paradise of escapism

I still remember the first time I read "The Daughter of the Sea", at the age of 13, in the second grade of junior high school, a girl who only had learning in her heart, and a girl who was taught to be obedient by the school, she couldn't help herself when she saw crying, and her heart hurt like a block. Cotton for many days. Such great and sacrificial values ​​have affected me throughout my high school years. It was a mistake to think that teaching others humility and fulfillment in an ignorant four-cornered love. In fact, how do I know love, it's just the beauty of the eternal sacrifice that tempted me. So much so that when deceived, he still fantasizes about helping others. Sacrifice means the loss of self-worth, and it means something more important than life. There are things more important than life in this world, but I don't think it will be too much, but I didn't know it at that time.
So when my daughter was young, I never read Andersen to her, because my own reading experience discouraged me. Andersen was beautiful but built such a gloomy world. Every scene is the darkness of society and despair. Faintly bright. Tried to read Thumbelina as a safe story for them, but as soon as it started, they were startled by the corpse and cried. At the age of 2 and a half, they began to be sensitive to "death", and they still couldn't accept it. So, I never read Andersen again after that. Andersen really didn't write for children.
The handling of death in neverland is beautiful, and walking into neverland, which is full of rich colors, is a paradise in the heart of a child. This can accommodate the next child who does not want to grow up, a child who is neglected.
I prefer an open ending. The two people gradually become transparent on the bench, and they have infinite reverie. Neverland or grow up, or in the future, the
dialogue in the play, and the child's question about death, no one can answer.
The fairy tale world relies on a believing heart and an imaginative eye. Fairy tales are also our weapons against the loneliness, boredom and dullness of everyday life.

    It's really not the type I like, but I was moved to tears, and I don't know what I'm crying for. What I see is all unreal, not a world that I can understand.

    Johnny Depp's collaboration with Kate Winslet about James Barry's creation of Peter Pan Peter Pan almost drove me crazy. The esoteric life philosophy of the story makes people feel emotional! The ending still sucks.
