Features: Then he came back to find the fox. "Goodbye," he said. "Goodbye," the fox replied. "My secret is very simple: you must see with the heart to truly understand everything. What is essential is invisible to the eye." "What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, wanting to remember it. "It is the time you spend on your rose that makes it so important." "It is the time I spend on my rose..." the little prince repeated, wanting to remember it. People forget this truth, the fox said, but you should not forget. You are responsible for what you tame. You are responsible for your rose..." "I am responsible for my rose..." the little prince repeated, wanting to remember it.
Nathalie de Saint-Exupéry reveals two faces of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to us: the angel, the pilot of the postal airline, the test pilot of new aircraft, the ground combat pilot of the 2/33 reconnaissance squadron, the pilot who disappeared over the Mediterranean in July 1944: the writer who published only five books in his lifetime but never stopped writing, leaving behind a vast collection of letters and articles published in newspapers and magazines, which bear witness to the turmoil of his time. I began writing at the age of six. It was not the airplane that made me write. I think if I had been a miner, I would have tried to draw lessons from the earth." It can be seen that The South Line Mail Route, Night Flight, The Earth of Man, and The Pilot of War were conceived in the sky, told by a pilot about the lives of pilots, and records of their flight missions. Through flying, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry gained wings; through writing, he spoke for his companions high in the sky. After fleeing to New York, he created a character from another planet with love—he himself drew this character with messy golden hair: the little prince.
