A beautiful and sad

The author of this book is Oscar Wilde, an English writer born in the 19th century. In this book, the author gives us seven fairy tales, each of which is wonderful and moving. Among them are the lamentable nightingale, the revered happy prince and the touching swallow, the giant who turns from selfishness to generosity, the mill owner who is full of loyalty, the pretentious rocket, the teenage king who wakes up from his dream, and the star child who changes into a butterfly after tasting the hardships of the earth Reading the book again, it can be seen that living in the British capitalist period, the author was deeply influenced by the social concept of money at that time. People became a machine to pursue fame and money and forgot about their own lives, and the family, friendship and love in their lives were replaced by naked money. Such a way of life, the author embodied in each imagery through different stories throughout the book, as if this is not just a fairy tale book, but should be the most straightforward cry of Wilde's heart. I believe that if this is a book of fairy tales, it must also be a book of fairy tales written for adults. The author seems to be one with nature, birds, trees, flowers and so on are his objects of writing, and their anthropomorphization seems to reflect some of the author's inner demands. The author's values are incompatible with the money-filled society at that time, and reflect the author's loneliness and desire to have friendship from the side. The author's own values are slowly changing, becoming a bit surprising to himself. As we get deeper and deeper into modern city life, some of our sensual parts are slowly being suppressed and become more and more rational, we become independent and silent, and gradually become a robot without feelings. We often regret the past, but also worry about the future, but only can not live in the present, we live in an unreal world, is this the life we want? The real meaning of life is to live a solid, stable and enjoyable life. For a long time, I can't feel the taste of eating because I'm distracted, and I can't feel the pleasant scenery when I go to play alone, also because I'm distracted and distracted. In this way, we lack our own senses. We become tense, become numb, no sense of humor in life, while increasingly dull, lack of vitality, is because we are often distracted, too much indulged in the future life, too many goals in mind, but these goals are too big, too vague, every day we have been too busy to choose, which causes us not to live in the present. I think this book is particularly meaningful, especially living in modern society, we should reflect on our own lives through the stories in this book. We have not become a character in the story, we have not also lost what we had more important than money, so to speak, this book is a book that can reshape our values, when we forget the life itself, we can turn to this book again. Redefine yourself and live well.
