When the rose loves the little prince, the little prince does not know what the rose wants, and often thinks that what is given to her is what she needs most. Love is not returned, rose would rather see the scenery alone. Love needs more acceptance and giving.To love is power,to be loved is power.

To love is power, to be loved is power.

What the little prince loved was a rose. There was only one rose on the planet where he lived. However, this rose was delicate and proud, and she was very noble.Just because of this, she had conflicts with the little prince, leading to the little prince to leave his original planet, wandering outside.

On earth, the little prince met a rose garden, where there were countless roses. Then the little prince knew that his rose was not the only one.

It was just a common rose, like so many others in the world. It is much like the shock we suffer when we first step into the strange world of adults. What we find precious, in the world of adults, is really common. What is more terrible is that when we grow up, we will join the world without knowing it.

Eileen chang said, "maybe every man has had two women like this, at least two.If you marry the red rose, as time goes by, the red will change into a mosquito blood on the wall,the white rose is bright moonlight.If you marry a white rose, the white one is a rice stick on your clothes, while the red one is a cinnabar mole on your heart." The little prince was no exception. In the process of thinking about the red rose, a fox who loved him deeply appeared. Compared with the waywardness and confidence of rose, the fox showed extreme restraint and forbearance, and even pointed out the particularity of rose for him.

What was so special about the rose? There were so many roses in the world, but it was precisely because the little prince only spent time for her, so for each other, were unique.

Luckily for the little prince, he met a fox.

The fox said to the little prince the most famous passage in the book: "I cannot play with you,I am not tamed. You are still just a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. I don't need you. I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. However, if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you are the only in the world; to you, is the only in the world."

"If you come at four o 'clock in the afternoon," said the fox. "then at three o 'clock I shall be happy.The nearer , the happier I feel. At four o 'clock I get restless; I will find the price of happiness.”

When it came time for the little prince to leave, the fox gave him a secret:“What is important is invisible to the eyes."

The little prince finally understood that his rose was unique. If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, "somewhere, my flower is there... "But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened... So you don't think that's important?

“The little prince" is a fairy tale for adults. It tells the strange behaviors of adults in the eyes of children in the pure voice of children. Why do we always want to have a lot of unnecessary things we want to be praised, like to order others, we pretend that what we have pursued is what we really want, to hide the inner emptiness. We repeat the absurdities day after day, complicating simple things, creating a bunch of data to prove right and wrong. Then we make complex things simple, making us lose our exploration and feeling, just leaving some vague impression in a hurry This is the laughable part of grown-ups and also the sad part

“The little prince” also tells the story of love ,the little prince took care of the rose every day ,he fertilized the rose, caught insects, covered the wind for her, and listened to her complaints and silence. But the little prince could not understand the heart of the rose, he was hurt by the thorn of the rose and leave sadly. In the long journey, he began to regret leaving, regret not to cherish the days that he had been with the rose. He met a fox who told him to look at things with his heart to be responsible for domesticating things, and when you put in the time and energy, things will become important

The adult world is always complicated and full of energy to pursue those elusive things. We need to go back to our childhood to truly understand what we really want

Because it is willing to indulge, even death does not need to be saved.
