Chapter 788: The Best Man

"Yes, that's right.Many scholars have deduced from the diaries and correspondence left by Hans Christian Andersen throughout his life that the man who built the world's most beautiful fairy tale world may be bisexual! Some people speculate that the Little Mermaid must drink the potion and change the "lower body" (implicitly changing gender) before she can be with the prince......" Qiao Feng winked at Gong Li full of evil taste.

"Vomit.." Looking at the self-evident metaphor in Qiao Feng's eyes, Gong Li couldn't help but retched twice.

Seeing that Gong Li's face turned pale, Qiao Feng was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue.

However, in his heart, Qiao Feng hummed at the fairy tale again, because he was not talking nonsense.

Is the real Hans Christian Andersen really so miserable?

In fact, few people know that innocent and sweet fairy tales are like a layer of crystal candy wrapper, wrapping Andersen's gloomy and melancholy life.

In fact, it can be seen from many of Andersen's original fairy tales that Andersen's childhood must have been miserable.

Because many of his fairy tales, if not cut, are not innocent fairy tales at all but dark fairy tales.

All of this has to start with Hans Christian Andersen's childhood.

Hans Christine Andersen was born in the Danish town of Odense. He was born in a poor civilian family, his father died young, and he lived with his mother since he was a child.

Hans Christian Andersen had to start as an apprentice early, working in tailor shops, cigarette factories, and all kinds of places, enduring hard work and bullying from his colleagues all day long, and the only thing that supported him was the brilliant fantasies that kept pouring out of his head.

This child, holding a puppet, can arrange a play, and in front of a poster, he can fantasize about a story. He had bigger dreams than an apprentice.

When he was 14 years old, a chance accident changed the life of this poor boy. He was quite talented, came to Copenhagen to study, and unexpectedly got the opportunity to work at the Royal Danish Theatre, learning singing, dancing and writing.

The aura is compelling and talented, and Andersen is destined to be impossible to ignore. The theater director was amazed by Andersen's talent and found a way to help him learn to create.

Despite the appreciation of nobles and unlimited opportunities and development, in the face of the bustling capital, this teenager from a small town still fell into a deep inferiority complex.

Thin and introverted, he always feels that he looks ugly, and pours all his repression and fantasy into his pen, writing his sensitive and delicate feelings into one dreamy and more sad story after another.

"The Ugly Duckling" is a prime example of Hans Christian Andersen's inferiority complex and withdrawn projection into fairy tales. Unlike today's popular version, the ugly duckling, as an inspirational model, is actually very gray at first.

The ugly duckling was abused in the duck flock, chased by hunters, and after a woman rescued him, she thought she would be able to live in peace, but she was bullied by the family's cats and hens. After finally having to escape from home, the ugly duckling finally met the swan.

However, although he has low self-esteem and sensitivity, Andersen is still very indomitable emotionally in his life, he dares to think and dare to do!! he has a delicate mind, and he has admired countless beautiful characters, but unfortunately the final ending is ...... None of them are too good... (He is said to have been a virgin until his death...... )

His first love was unrequited love, and Hans Christian Andersen wrote many love letters to the girl, expressing his love in various ways, but most of them were in vain. The girl only replied to him with two letters......

Just these two letters, Andersen also treasured for a lifetime. Until the day Andersen died, people found a reply letter from his first love in the small pocket he wore around his neck. It turned out that he had been carrying it with him all along......

However, treasures are treasures, and in the past few decades after being rejected by his first love, Andersen has not been idle! Doctor's daughter, aristocratic lady, physicist's daughter, Andersen's favorite girl, and there have been many scandals.

Among them, the most famous story is the story between Hans Christian Andersen and Jenny Lind, a famous soprano singer in Europe at that time.

Jenny Lind, the prototype of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Nightingale", she is the most beautiful nightingale in Andersen's eyes, with the world's most tactful and beautiful singing voice.

However, like Andersen's previous experience of chasing girls and failing miserably, this time, he failed again. When he pursued Jenny, he didn't dare to confess his heart, so he covered his head and wrote a letter, and finally mustered up the courage to write a marriage proposal, stuffed it into the girl's hand and ran.

But Jenny sees Hans Christian Andersen more as her brother. She wrote in her reply very bluntly: "Farewell, God bless you, my brother...... This is the most sincere blessing that his beloved sister can give."

Andersen was heartbroken to know that the nightingale could never belong to him.

However, after all, it is a literary bigwig! love life, how can it be as simple as chasing girls!

Next is the favorite part of the rotten girls.

In addition to writing "The Daughter of the Sea" about his love for Edward, Andersen confessed affectionately in a letter: "I am infatuated with you as I am with a Calabrian girl...... I feel to you like a woman. ”

It's a pity! Edward was a straight man who couldn't have been straighter, and had to turn down Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen, who gave up bending straight men, fell in love with a ballet dancer (male) and an earl (male) after this heartbreak. However, these two relationships ended in nothing.

Although the love scene failed, Andersen's talent was recognized by countless people in society, and the publication of his works received countless praises.

In 1833, Andersen received a small amount of money from the King of Denmark and embarked on his first trip to Europe, and it has been out of control ever since!

Hans Christian Andersen traveled everywhere, Germany, England, France, Italy, everywhere there are traces of his walk. When I travel, I am not idle, in addition to creation, I make friends everywhere, and I am simply connecting the entire European literary world with my own strength!

According to the 21st century, Andersen is definitely a person who climbs the wall every day!

When he went to Paris, he met the poet Heinrich Heine and immediately said, "He is the person I want to see most in this world."

The famous physicist, Hans-Christian Osterwy, is regarded as his father and brother: "Oster is probably the one I love the most"; when he saw Alexandre Dumas, he went to the theater with others.

In almost the entire European art world, there is no one whom Hans Christian Andersen does not love!

For example, after he met Balzac, he wrote affectionately in his diary: "Balzac, whom I met in the drawing-room of the Countess of Bocomb, was a gentleman of gentleness and neat dress, with crystal teeth glowing white between his red lips......"

Or, "He took my hand tightly, nodded at me, and walked away, his hand soft and slender...... "This is a portrait of Balzac...... Imagine this, with red lips and white teeth, and slender hands......

The first time I visited Victor Hugo, the great writer who wrote "Les Miserables" and "Notre Dame de Paris", wrote in his diary with reverence: I was deeply impressed by the exquisite pajamas and underwear that Hugo wore...

.................

Vomit......

These gossips of Hans Christian Andersen flashed in his mind, and Qiao Feng himself had the urge to retch.

Nima, what a big man in the literary world, he is simply the best man in the literary world.
