Growing up is not scary, forgetting is scary

Life is like a journey, all the way is hard, all the way is scenery. Your vision is the realm of your life. Always seeing people who are worse than you means you are going uphill; always seeing people who are not as good as yourself means you are going downhill. Instead of complaining, think about change. After watching the movie version of "The Little Prince", you will have such a feeling inexplicably. The film is partly adapted from the short fairy tale of the same name in the children's literature of French Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The most familiar thing about France is the sentence c'est la vie (this is life), so people have to think of Liang Jingru's "c'est la vie" and Sun Yue's "This is life".

As a symbol of childhood, the little prince presents the most innocent and kind childhood shadow of people at the beginning of life. In the adult world, the lack of innocence makes it impossible for adults to communicate with the little prince. The little prince is like an angel in the adult world, helping adults to rethink and feel life again. The little prince's carefree image of a child expresses his nostalgia for childhood and his desire for innocence. In the adult world, the hearts of adults are full of desire for money and power, and they are practical and utilitarian, and the little prince is here to rescue these adult souls who are lost in the secular world of greed and desire. Therefore, I can see the pure and simple side of life from the little prince, and hope that people will get away from desire and greed and discover their innocence and love.
