Features: It tells the story of the author who was forced to land in the Sahara Desert due to a plane malfunction and met a little prince from another planet. The little prince shared his experiences and expressed incomprehension towards the "strange people" he encountered during his journey. The little prince lived on a planet slightly larger than his own body. Due to some "trouble" with a rose, he left his planet to visit other planets. He visited a total of seven planets, meeting a king who enjoyed ruling and commanding others; a vain person who craved admiration and only heard praise; a drunkard who drank excessively "to forget the shame of alcoholism"; a businessman who took pleasure in owning stars and counted his assets all day; a lamplighter who blindly obeyed orders and repeated the same action over and over; a geographer who sat in an office, never went outside, and only listened to reports; and the pilot on Earth. The Little Prince is not just a children's literary work but also a fable about life and existence.
