When Andersen was a child, he saw why the prince was not appreciated

Because one. Hans Christian Andersen was just the son of a shoe-shiner, belonging to a lower-class society, and the prince was a man of high up and looked down on him. No matter how well it is written, it is useless!

Two. At that time, Andersen was still young, and the prince did not believe that he could write a good script..

Once upon a time there was a poor boy whose father was a shoemaker. After his father died, his mother had to take him to marry in order to make a living. One day, he had the opportunity to go to Jin to meet the prince, and he was full of hope and sang poetry in front of the prince.

Reciting the script. After the performance, the prince asked him what reward he wanted to ask for. This poor child boldly made a request:

I wanted to write poetry and play and act at the Theatre Royal. The prince looked at the clumsy boy with a big nose as a clown from head to toe, and then said to him, "Being able to recite a script does not mean that you can write it, but that is a different thing, and I advise you to learn a useful trade."

However, when he returned home, he broke his piggy bank, said goodbye to his mother and stepfather, who never cared about him, and left home to pursue his ideals. At this time, he was only 14 years old, but he believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, the name Andersen would be passed down through the ages.

When he arrived in Copenhagen, he rang the doorbell from house to house, almost all the dignitaries and nobles, but no one appreciated him, and he walked ragged on the streets, but he still did not diminish the enthusiasm in his heart.

Finally, in 1835, he published a fairy tale that caught the attention of children and opened a new page for Hans Christian Andersen, whose fairy tales were translated into many languages, and no other book can compare with the Bible. At this time, it had been 16 years since he left home.

Address... Forehead... There is a statue of him in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Personality From a few of his stories, it can be seen that he is still a lonely, melancholy person, but maybe because of his appearance or birth, he still has a little inferiority... But I still yearn for a better life

He was lonely, he was melancholy, and his story was full of tragedy. The heroines of his works either die with hatred or break up with their lovers. He was the humble son of an alcoholic shoemaker.

He left his hometown of Odense for Copenhagen at the age of 14 with nothing. He sang in Copenhagen and made paper cutouts for the wealthy, making money to support himself. He has been traveling for most of his life.

Although the hardships of travel sometimes scared him, his yearning for adventure drove him away from home again and again. He traveled from city to city, traveling and traveling all over Europe. He initially wanted to be an actor, but he didn't succeed, and then he became a writer, writing poems, writing **, writing scripts, and writing fairy tales.

His love life was also a tragedy: at the age of 17, he fell in love with the translator's daughter, but the other family died one after another, the girl was depressed all day, and finally the ship he was on burned down in the Atlantic, and Andersen was so grief-stricken that he wrote a poem in mourning. At the age of 20 he fell in love with a girl named Ribog Vogt, but unfortunately she was secretly engaged to the chemist's son, and until Hans Christian Andersen's death in 1875, he still had a letter from Ribog in a small leather bag hanging around his neck.

At the age of 25, he traveled to Jurain and fell in love with a rich girl. Who knows, the affectionate rich girl looked down on Andersen, who was poor at the time, and Andersen once again fell into the abyss of pain. At the age of 29 he met Elena Gaugioli in Verona, a girl who loved literature.

But at this time, he only had fairy tales in his heart, and he could only tell Yelena: "My love is in fairy tales." He never saw Yelena again in his life, but he missed her for the rest of his life.

At the age of 35, Andersen met the famous opera actress Jenny Lind in Sweden, who was also his last love. Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Nightingale" is said to have been written to Linde, as she was called "the nightingale of Sweden" at the time. Four years later, Linde severed her relationship with Hans Christian Andersen.

In 1875, at the age of 70, he died alone, not at all "living happily ever after". He went from being such an "ugly duckling" as a shoemaker's son to a respected writer "White Swan". However, this "white swan" is so sad and sad.

Address: Denmark.

Occupation: Famous fairy tale writer in the 19th century, founder of fairy tales in world literature.

Personality: Rich imagination, always true patriot, sad and negative.

Story: Persistence.

When Andersen was very young, his father, who was a shoemaker, died, leaving him and his mother to live in poverty.

One day, he and a group of children were invited to the palace to meet the prince and ask for a reward. He sang and recited the script with great hope, hoping that his performance would be appreciated by the prince.

When the performance was over, the prince kindly asked him, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

Hans Christian Andersen confidently said, "I wanted to write a play and perform at the Royal Theatre." ”

The prince looked at the clumsy boy in front of him from head to toe with a big clown nose and melancholy eyes, and said to him, "It is one thing to memorize a play, and another to write a play, and I advise you to learn a useful trade!" ”

But instead of learning the trade, Hans Christian Andersen, who had a dream, broke his piggy bank, said goodbye to his mother, and went to Copenhagen to pursue his dream. He wandered in Copenhagen, knocked on the doors of all the Copenhagen nobles, no one paid attention to him, he never thought of retreating. He has been writing epics and love **, but he has failed to attract people's attention, and although he is sad, he still insists on writing.

In 1825, Hans Christian Andersen wrote several random fairy tales that unexpectedly aroused children's rush to read, and many readers were eager for his new work to be published, and this year, he was 30 years old.
