When he was young, Andersen left his hometown to go to the capital Copenhagen in order to realize his dream of being an actor, but he became impoverished, had problems with food and clothing, and suffered a lot from life.
The Ugly Duckling is a fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen himself, which tells the story of a helpless duckling who is ostracized everywhere because of his ugly appearance, survives tenaciously in the face of adversity, and finally becomes a beautiful white swan. This is to write that Andersen went through many setbacks in his life before finally becoming a beautiful "swan". This story reminds us that everyone's life path will not be smooth sailing, and everyone will have times when they get stuck.
Difficulties can make people grow, don't be discouraged when you encounter difficulties, don't be discouraged, and believe in yourself. We must be brave enough to meet every challenge that life throws at us. We must overcome difficulties and move forward to a glorious tomorrow.

Danish 19th-century fairy tale writer and founder of fairy tales in world literature. He was born on April 2, 1805 in the slums of Odense, on the Danish island of Funen. His father, a poor shoemaker, volunteered to fight against Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion and died in 1816.
The mother, who was a laundry worker, soon remarried. Suffering from poverty from an early age, Andersen worked as an apprentice in several shops with no formal education. As a teenager, he became interested in the stage and fantasized about being a singer, actor or playwright.
In 1819 he played a supporting role at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. He was later fired due to loss of throat. From then on, he began to learn to write, but the script he wrote was completely unsuitable for performance and was not used in the theater.
In 1822, he received a grant from the theater director Jonas Colin and attended a grammar school in Sleiersel. In this year he wrote the book "The Attempt of Youth", which was published under the pseudonym of William Christian Walter. This pseudonym includes the names of William Shakespeare, Hans Christian Andersen himself, and Scott.
In 1827 he published his first poem, The Dying Child, and in 1829 he entered the University of Copenhagen to study. His first major work, Walks from the Holmen Canal to the East Point of Amae Island in 1828 and 1829, appeared in 1829. This is a travelogue with a sense of humor, in the style of the German writer Hoffmann.
The publication of this travelogue gave Andersen an initial recognition to society. Since then, he has continued to work in theatre. In 1831 he traveled to Germany and wrote a travel journal on his way back.
In 1833 he went to Italy and wrote a poetic drama "Egnet and the Mermaid" and a long story "The Impromptu Poet" (1835) set in Italy. Shortly after publication, it was translated into German and English, marking the beginning of the author's international reputation. Representative works:
Daughter of the Sea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl".

A brief biography of Hans Christian Andersen.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) Danish writer. In 1805, Andersen was born in a dilapidated attic in the Danish town of Odense. His father, a shoemaker, died at an early age, and the family relied on his mother to wash clothes.
Although Andersen lived a very poor life, he had his own lofty ideals. At first, he decided to become an actor, and at the age of fourteen, he left his hometown and relatives and came to the capital Copenhagen alone. He overcame the difficulties of life and learned the culture with strong perseverance.
At first, he wanted to learn dance and acting, but he was refused, and later he was taken in by a professor at a ** school to learn to sing. But in the winter of the second year, because he had no money to buy clothes and shoes, he kept catching colds, coughing, and hoarseness, so he had to leave the school. However, his tenacious will to engage in art was unmoved, and he was determined to create literature and write about the injustices of the world with his own pen.
He lived on the top floor of an old house and practiced writing day and night. After more than ten years of struggle, he finally stepped into the literary world. Since the age of 30, he has devoted himself to the creation of children's literature, and has written a total of 168 fairy tales in his life.
Such as "The Ugly Duckling", "The Jayener's Son", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Nightingale" and "The Princess on the Pea", etc. "The Little Match Girl", which is selected in the twelfth volume of the six-year primary school Chinese, is one of them.
Hans Christian Andersen and The Little Match Girl
So how did Hans Christian Andersen write this fairy tale?
In 1848 he traveled abroad. On the way, he received a letter from a friend asking him to write a story based on the three pictures sent in the letter. In one of the pictures, a poor little girl with long golden hair curled over her shoulders looked beautiful, holding many matches in her hands, and her poor eyes widened as if she were thinking about something.
Andersen's eyes moistened as he looked at the picture. He remembered his mother. When my mother was a child, she had to eat, and once when she asked for food, she couldn't walk anymore and passed out on the road.
He remembered his grandmother, the only one who loved him in his childhood. After his father died, his mother remarried, and he had to rely on his grandmother for his life. Every evening, he sat in the corner, curled up in a ball, hoping that the begging grandmother would come back soon.
As soon as the kind grandmother came home, she took him in her arms, brought him warmth, and relieved his hunger. He also remembered the thousands of poor children under the rule of the Danish Dynasty? Thinking and thinking, he couldn't help but spread out the manuscript paper, and with his own personal feelings, sympathy for the vast number of poor children, and hatred for the ruling class, he worked hard to write the beautiful and moving fairy tale "The Little Match Girl".
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are deeply loved by the masses of the people, and have been translated into the languages of many countries and widely circulated. He is also known as the "King of Fairy Tales in the World".

This is a true and fascinating story: Andersen met Victor, the great French writer, while traveling around Europe, and asked for his autograph. Hugo was suspicious of the young Dane, who had never known him, and feared that he might write a letter of assumption of debt above his signature in the future, or use it for some other inappropriate purpose, so he signed a few words of Victor Hugo in the corner above a piece of paper.
When Andersen was 70 years old, his friends held a national fundraiser to build a bronze statue of this world famous man for posterity.
