The hero of this book is a little prince from another planet. Taking a pilot as the narrator, the book tells the story of all kinds of adventures the little prince experienced when he set off from his own planet to the earth. With the childlike eyes of the little prince, the author reveals the emptiness, blindness, stupidity and rigidity of adults, and writes the lonely and rootless fate of human beings in simple and childish language. At the same time, it also expresses the author's criticism of the relationship between money and eulogizes the truth, goodness and beauty.
