Chapter 1558: Chapter 1260: The Final Manga Work
“When I first opened ‘The Little Prince’, what shocked me the most were Shadow’s illustrations.
It wasn’t because these paintings were masterstrokes of extraordinary skill; if Shadow wanted to, he certainly could. What’s precious is that he chose not to —
These paintings helped me understand the tone of ‘The Little Prince’.
It’s a melancholy fairy tale for adults.
This is an era of fast pace, and it seems like as we grow up, there’s less and less time. No longer do we have time to gaze at the beauty of the stars; I remember the seeds I planted in childhood, spending so much time witnessing them bloom and bear fruit.
It turns out we’ve unwittingly lost our curiosity about the world.
Growing up makes us take everything for granted, forgetting that there’s still so much mystery and unknown in the world. Perhaps it’s not that our knowledge has expanded so much; it’s just that we no longer have the interest or time to linger.
Last Spring Festival.
The adults sat together chatting, about buying cars the coming year, discussing various luxury brands. Unexpectedly, my nephew suddenly chimed in, saying his favorite car was one we hadn’t mentioned: a garbage truck —
Because when the garbage truck comes, it plays music.
At that moment, we burst into laughter, as if we had all forgotten that we were once children, forgotten that we still had eyes and ears to perceive all the natural and beautiful things the world has to offer.
The world hasn’t changed.
It’s just that how many eyes have been covered by the dazzling array of colors, unable to see the change of the seasons, the color of the monsoon. How many ears have been blocked by the cacophony of phenomena, unable to hear the rustle of falling leaves, the silent songs.
I remembered what a friend once said.
One day he saw two kids racing, the child threw a small stone up, and when it hit the ground, they started running, that was their way to start the race; isn’t it fair, isn’t it smart?
We’ve grown up, and thus become dull.
Of course, this book also talks about love.
If you want to see the most tender and beautiful love in this world, you mustn’t miss ‘The Little Prince’.
But please forgive me for not wanting to start with you on the topic of ‘taming’ about love, after all, too many have talked about it.
In such a deep night,
I’m afraid that when I wake up come morning, I’ll have forgotten what I said last night.”
Starry-Net.
Some book reviews talk about ‘The Little Prince’ like this.
In this story, Little Prince is a remarkable celestial lad, living on an asteroid just a bit larger than himself.
His companion is a little rose he loves dearly.
One day, the rose’s vanity hurt the Little Prince’s feelings for her, so he said goodbye to the asteroid and embarked on a journey through space.
He visited six planets, and all sorts of experiences left him feeling melancholic.
He found adults to be absurd and laughable, too abnormal.
Only on a planet with a lamplighter did the Little Prince find someone who could be a friend.
But the lamplighter’s world was very small, and besides the lamplighter himself, there was no room for a second person.
Guided by a geographer, the lonely Little Prince arrived on Earth, where humans lived.
The Little Prince found humans lacking imagination, only knowing to repeat what others said, like parrots. He began to miss his little rose on his planet more and more.
Later, the Little Prince met a Little Fox.
The Little Fox fell in love with the Little Prince and hoped the Little Prince would “tame himself”.
And more book reviews indeed talk about the Little Prince’s love related to “taming the Little Fox”.
For example, a book review says this:
“Leaving aside the fairy tale type of this book, if you simply see the Little Prince as a man, then the Little Fox and the rose are just two women with very different personalities who love him.
The rose is capricious and beautiful, and appeared in front of the Little Prince earlier than the Little Fox.
The Little Prince loved her before he knew what love was.
The Little Fox is mature and understanding; she taught the Little Prince what love is and nurtured her own love for the Little Prince.
In the end, she gained love yet gave up on the lover.
On another distant planet, when Little Prince and the rose were deeply in love, the Fox was on Earth gazing at the golden wheat fields, living in her love.
It seems evident that Little Prince and the rose are happy.
Then, is the tamed Little Fox happy?
The book says, the essential things cannot be seen with the eyes.
I think, all three of them are very happy.”
Of course.
No matter the perspective, the love for ‘The Little Prince’ by adult readers is evident.
This fondness exceeds that of children because:
For children, a fairy tale is just a fairy tale.
No child seeks metaphors from it, nor would they understand them.
Thus, ‘The Little Prince’, the last piece in the Fairytale Town series puzzle, becomes the most special presence among these fairy tales.
Blog.
On the trending.
Regarding the three words #Little Prince#, it surged to the #1 spot.
And the keyword that surged to the top along with ‘The Little Prince’ is #Fairy Tale King#.
“As the father of ‘The Little Prince’, Chu Kuang truly is Blue Star’s Fairy Tale King!”
“Short stories, novellas, and novels, each of Chu Kuang’s fairy tales is unique. So even though adults voted Chu Kuang to the top of the knife-list, in the hearts of children, he is still the most loved writer.”
“To write great fairy tales, one must have a kind child’s heart.”
“I wonder if old rascal Chu Kuang will continue to write fairy tales in the future?”
“No matter the quality of old rascal’s fairy tales, I will buy them unconditionally, even if I’m an adult, even if by then, my child has grown up and no longer needs or likes fairy tales.”
“This is the charm of being the number one in fairy tales!”
“From animations to children’s songs and finally to fairy tales, it is Shadow Envy Fish and Chu Kuang that make this Children’s Day so meaningful.”
“The best collaboration.”
“Have you seen the ranking of the most popular celebrities with children?”
“Their votes are all surging.”
“First is Xian Yu; those children’s songs are making an impact. Second has become old rascal; ‘The Little Prince’ is quite powerful. Previously, the leading Shadow has now fallen to third.”
“Is it the emperor’s turn to reign?”
“It feels normal for anyone to be first in the end.”
Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow have always been top three in activities. Initially, Chu Kuang was first, then Shadow, and now Xian Yu has become first. It truly is the emperor’s turn to reign.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Perhaps unwilling to stay in third?
Of course, that’s just a joke by netizens.
At any rate, just as Shadow became third, he suddenly posted a globally shocking blog update: “My final comic work will be released for free on the blogging platform on Children’s Day, titled ‘Dragon Ball’.”
Shadow!
Comic!
Final work!
As the number one in painting, more so the number one in Blue Star comics, Shadow’s announcement immediately excited countless comic fans worldwide!
