Features: The circus arrives at the little planet where the Little Prince lives for a performance. Due to the poorly closed cage, the tyrannical tiger escapes. To drive away the intruder, the Little Prince has no choice but to step out and embark on a brand-new journey. On different planets, the Little Prince meets many interesting people—a rigid ecologist, a smooth-talking advertiser, a versatile statistician, a faceless administrator, and Mr. Green who solves problems with sticks. However, these adults usually only watch and occasionally offer some irrelevant advice, which is of no help in solving the problem. Finally, the worried Little Prince returns to Earth and comes to an island surrounded by waves. He meets a snake, a lion, a philosopher, and then the author of this book. It is a poignant fable about love, responsibility, emotion, and innocence, a of a world we have long left behind but now deeply yearn for. The seemingly innocent and naive words of the Little Prince reveal some ordinary truths that we have long forgotten. They are like a mirror, reflecting the embarrassing lack of thought and imagination in the real world.
