THE LITTLE PRINCE
2014-07-20

Many people are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. So am I. Here I would like to speak my mind about this excellent book.

When I was in high school, on my birthday a good friend presented me The Little Prince. However, I seldom read it at those times. Later, I finished reading it during the holiday for its beautiful cover and full contents. But I felt very sorry for the little boy, he has no friends, he loves the sunset, he always feels lonely. Nobody understands his inner feelings.

Now, I still love reading the amazing fairy tale, whenever I read it, I always take an unknown touch on it. The little prince always reminds me to see rightly with the heart and spend more time on important things. His childishness, kindness, insistence are all deeply rooted in my mind and never fade away, the truth ,kindness, beauty that the little kid bring me is worth pursuing in all my life. Some time ago, the Vietnam steel factory turned the protest into violence, the South Korean ferry Sewol sank off the southern coast of South Korea but the captain was one of the first people to leave the ship and yesterday Malaysian plane downed in Ukraine, these sorrowful accidents shocks me to realize how the world is being plagued by countless wicked and irresponsible officials, and how they have been joined by some otherwise upright officials in seizing personal interests at will.

Now, rather than enumerating the many cases of unrest I have seen or heard of, I hold aloft the noble image of an kind and lovely prince so that our friends now fighting evil may look up at it and feel they are not isolated…

What the little prince said was true. ''Men have forgotten this truth. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed, you are responsible for your rose.''

Let me wish everyone to be kind and true like the little prince.

May the world less terror and unrest but more peace and warmth.
