The night was already very deep, and the moon outside the window had crawled past the highest point and was slowly sliding down from the other side of the night sky.

"The little prince is an otherworldly fairchild who lives on an asteroid that is only a little bigger than him. He was accompanied by a small rose that he loved very much. But Rose's vanity hurt the little prince's feelings for her. The little prince said goodbye to the asteroid and began a journey into space......"

Li Xiang sat on the chair next to the bed and whispered "The Little Prince" to Master Dou who was lying under the quilt.

Gradually, they began to yawn, their eyelids blinked less often, and gradually, their eyelids became heavier, wanting to close the colorful world.

There was a slight snoring sound in the room, and it was the little rabbit sister sleeping fragrantly.

Not long after, the teacher gradually fell asleep with this particularly secure snoring.

Li Xiang insisted on finishing this little story, closed the book, put it back on the small bookcase in the room, where there were dozens of picture books, and then covered the children with quilts, turned off the orange lamp at the bedside, and quietly walked out of the room.

After "The Little Prince" was published and put on sale, the book quickly spread in the market, and the word of mouth exploded, and before 24 hours, the sales volume had already topped the single-day sales list of Ding Ding Book City and Huaxia Bookstore.

Originally, there were two main categories of people who bought books, one was Li Xiang's fans, and the other was parents with children, who bought their children a bedtime fairy tale written by a big star, but as I read more and more, I found that this book is not simple, as it was advertised, this is a fairy tale book for children and adults.

Many people have never heard of adult fairy tales, and while buying books for children, they read them first, and as a result, they fell in love with the story of this little prince.

"I saw 'The Little Prince' on the bus stop My son liked the illustrations in the advertisement very much, and begged me to buy him a copy, so we went to the Huaxia bookstore, where I read the book with my son, at first I just wanted to understand first, so that my son could explain it to him when he didn't understand, and at night before going to bed, I told him a certain fragment of it, however, when I started reading, I couldn't stop, I found that I had unconsciously fallen in love with this little prince, and a question came to my mind, am I a rose? or a fox?

"If the little prince is simply a man, then the little fox and the rose are two women who love him with very different personalities. The rose is capricious and beautiful, appearing in front of the little prince one step before the little fox. The little prince fell in love with her before he knew what love was. However, when he was faced with a garden full of roses, he felt very unfortunate. His flower had told him that she was the only one in the universe. But in this garden alone there were five thousand of them that were exactly the same! And so he lay down in the grass and wept. Later, he met the little fox, who was mature and sensible, and she taught the little prince what love was, and also cultivated her own love for the little prince. And in the end, she got love, but gave up her lover. ”

"You see, although I am not smart enough, I can see what I want to see in this fairy tale book, and realize that I am also confused. However, when I asked my son what he thought of roses and little foxes, he just said that roses are beautiful, little foxes are cute, there are three roses in our vase and there is still a little fox missing, he asked me if I could have a little fox. ”

Because of this book, he began to care about the flower pots at home and developed a strong interest in small animals. ”

"'If you can come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock, I will start to feel happy'. 'All the adults were children, but only a few remember'. Only with the heart can we see clearly. Essential things are invisible to the naked eye. ’…… I like the language in this book so much, I can find such a shining sentence by picking up a paragraph, and it's a pity that I couldn't go to Li Xiang's signing the day before yesterday, otherwise I must ask him how he managed to think so deeply about life every day. ”

"Fortunately, I still have the opportunity to ask him in person, well, tomorrow he will come to the school, I can ask him about his class schedule, and then I will come to the classroom and wait for him. Yes, that's it. ”

……

The person who wrote this article after reading it was Zhou Heduo, the dean of the College of Arts and Humanities of Forestry University, and an old acquaintance of Li Xiang.

His impressions were written on Weibo and updated on the school forum, which attracted the attention of many teachers and students.

Dai Dan, the host of CCTV's "Walk with Us" variety show, also wrote down his feelings after reading the book on Weibo.

"When I opened The Little Prince the day before yesterday, I was stunned, not only because of the freshness of the story, but also because of the paintings. I've always received a lot of cards with villains depicting them, but it wasn't until I saw the illustrations in The Little Prince that I realized that those villains, flowers, and plants could grow in such a sad fairy tale. ”

"Especially when I knew that these illustrations were drawn by Dou Dou and Shishi, I had a strong urge in my heart to have a baby of my own. They are really cute, they are the embodiment of angels, these twin little sisters live happily, they have a perfect family, they have an infinite love brother, and there are so many fans who like them, and we also see that they are actively transmitting their energy to the outside world, just like these illustrations, bringing us a world of innocence. Every time I saw one of them, I could see the little sisters, and for a moment, I thought I could read them. ”

"Finally, do you want to ask me why I was able to watch 'The Little Prince' the day before yesterday? hahaha, because Li Xiang sent me a collector's edition. ”

Li Xiang's teacher, Bai Su, was even more direct and excited, saying directly on Weibo that at least one of this year's Zijin Literary Awards had been booked.

"The Little Prince" is only more than 20,000 words, as early as when "The Little Prince" was still a draft, Li Xiang showed it to Bai Su, and he gave it a very high evaluation at that time, but he didn't expect to further raise his expectations this time.

"Guangming Daily" gave "The Little Prince" a headline in the reading section, with the headline reading: "Why is it lonely the more you grow up? The Little Prince gt; Tell you the answer to life".

The headline of "Der Spiegel" is: "The fairy tale of loving and being loved, taking you to comprehend; The Little Prince gt; A sentence that touches the heart".

In the column "Reading for You", "Xinhua Daily" gave "The Little Prince" the title: "Read Li Xiang's LT; The Little Prince gt; The two key words are "domestication" and "ritual".

The article written by Shengjing Daily was titled: "LT; The Little Prince: Behind the childlike language is a criticism of the absurd, a praise of innocence.

The article written by the "Yuezhou Evening News" is "LT; The Little Prince: A Healing Fairy Tale for Adults, an Eternal Harbor of the Soul.

Za Lang gave the homepage headline of the website to "The Little Prince": "Listen to Li want to tell you about lt; The Little Prince gt; The story: With the eyes is something that cannot see the essence.

Weibo made a picture link to "The Little Prince" on the front page, all users can see this picture link as long as they enter Weibo, the picture is the cover of "The Little Prince", a little boy and a little fiery red fox sit in the wheat field, with their backs to everyone, looking at the boundless wheat waves and the boundless starry sky.

There is also a line of words on the picture, which reads: Enjoy the fantasy journey of "The Little Prince" with Li Xiang.

The topic of discussion has soared to 2 billion, and many people have left comments at the bottom.

"When I think that this is the bedtime story that my brother tells to Master Dou Dou every night, my heart is full of tenderness and love. ”

"When I watched "The Little Prince", I was always in deep thought and fantasy, I felt something in my body awakening, and when I woke up, I really knew that it was the awakened childlike innocence and the childhood that was found. ”

"We have been speculating and arguing about my brother's ideal type, and now, the debate can be over, because my brother has made it very clear in "The Little Prince" that between the rose and the little fox, his choice is that of a mature and sensible little fox. ”

"I finally know why Li Xiang is so popular, he is different from all the artists I know. ”
