In 1699, the surgeon Gulliver sailed with the Antelope to the South Pacific. Unfortunately in distress, Gulliver escapes from death and drifts to Lilliput (the villain's country) and is tied up by the villain. The Lilliputs transported the huge Gulliver to the capital in a special car to offer to the king, and his appearance attracted almost all the people of the villain kingdom.
At that time, another villainous empire, the Bresgu Empire, was preparing to invade the Lilliput Empire from the sea, gulliver waded through the strait and dragged 50 of the largest enemy ships back to the ports of the Lilliput state, making a great contribution. But Gulliver was reluctant to destroy the Brevsgu Empire, much to the displeasure of the Emperor. At this time, the queen's bedchamber caught fire, and Gulliver was impatient, and sprinkled a bubble of urine to extinguish the fire, who knows but it made the queen very angry. So, the villain monarch prepared to get rid of Gulliver. Gulliver heard the wind and fled to the Brefusgu Empire, where he returned safely to England.
Soon after Gulliver returned home, he went to sea again with the "Adventure", but unfortunately encountered a storm again, and the ship was blown to Brobdinneg (the kingdom of adults).
Gulliver was caught by a farmer who was 20 meters tall. Farmers took Gulliver to major cities across the country for exhibitions, and finally to the capital. The farmer was so rich that he asked Gulliver to perform 10 times a day, exhausting him to death. When the peasant saw that he was unprofitable, he sold Gulliver to the queen. Because of his small size and cleverness, Gulliver was very favored in the court.
Homesick, he pretended to be sick and came to the beach to get some fresh air. The eagle in the sky mistakenly picked up the box he was holding up as a turtle. Several eagles scrambled in the air, the box fell into the sea, was found by a passing ship, and gulliver was rescued and returned to England by boat.
After staying at home for a while, Gulliver went to sea with the Good Hope.
This time, Gulliver's ship was hijacked by a pirate ship, and Gulliver escaped and was rescued by a flying island called "Lepita", where the king and nobles lived on the flying island, and the common people lived on three islands, including Barni Babi. After Gulliver left the flying island, he came to Balni Babi for a visit and visited the "Lagerdo Academy" on the island. The Academy of Sciences studied absurd subjects, resulting in desolation throughout the country, collapsing houses, and leaving the people without food or clothing.
Five months after Gulliver returned home, he was hired as the captain of the Adventure and sailed out to sea again. On the way, the sailors mutinied, imprisoned him for several months, and then exiled to the "Kingdom of Hui".
Here, the horse is the rational inhabitant and ruler of the country, while the "Yehu" is the beast raised and enslaved by the horse. Gulliver's mannerisms seemed to the people of the "Wise Horse" country to be a rational "Yehu", so they aroused their interest.
Under the influence of the various virtues of "HuiHua", Gulliver was bent on staying in the "Huihua" country. However, the National Congress of the "Huihua" state passed a resolution to eliminate Yehu there. So Gulliver's wish could not be fulfilled. In desperation, Gulliver had to leave the country in a small boat to return home. Gulliver had a yearning for the "Kingdom of Wisdom" and had been friends with horses all his life.
