The debate of the strange saying is on the hot search again
This time the theme is:
"Should I tell my child that fairy tales are fake?"
But this question,
The cutest and gentlest voices of opposition appeared online.
Many people say that there is a problem with the problem itself.
"In my opinion,
Fairy tales are not fake,
It's just true."
Someone said:
Among those reviews that say fairy tales are fake,
Hides the nasty self-righteousness of countless adults.

This spring,
Something small happened.
A mother's disdain for the story of the fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea",
It has attracted millions of readers and tens of thousands of netizens to discuss and retweet.
This mother thinks,
The little mermaid in the fairy tale is too humble,
Her efforts are meaningless,
It is self-deprecating and dwarfing women to women.
One comment won the hearts of the people:
"Whether your daughter will decide in the future that the moth throws herself into her love,
It's not decided by a story.
She will see the greatness of love in this book,
I will also see the delusion of love in the next book,
In the next countless books and movies,
Feel "What kind of life is worth living"
This conclusion was her own and belonged only to her.
It's not up to you to decide."

The book "Daughter of the Sea" for me,
Went through three different periods of understanding.
When I first saw it,
The Little Mermaid lost her feet and voice for love,
Just because I fell in love with the prince and wanted to be with him,
When she couldn't bear to assassinate the prince turned into a bubble in the sea,
I cried for a long, long time.
The second time I watched it, I hated the prince.
I don't think her efforts are worth it.
There have also been deep doubts about this fairy tale.
Look at this story for the last time
I suddenly saw another meaning.
Hans Christian Andersen's title,
The sea where she lived was piled up in many words.
It's a gorgeous, wonderful,
But at the same time, it is a bottomless and boring world.
Before the Little Mermaid was allowed to surface,
What she longed for was a piece of freedom.
Later, when she turned 16, she was finally able to swim to where she wanted to go.
Fell in love with the prince, made sacrifices,
Hurt by love, turned into bubbles...
All kinds of things, though sad,
But boom.
Look at this story this last time,
It was in my disregard for my parents' objections
When you do a job that you like,
I finally understood,
The Story of the Little Mermaid,
More than just a tragedy,
Not to mention the demeaning of women that many people say.
It's a life that would rather give up hundreds of years of boredom,
Also choose to chase what you like,
Even if you can only live for more than ten years.
It was not a prince who attracted her willingness to sacrifice for it,
It is a freedom and faith.

Someone watching "The Daughter of the Sea"
What you see is that if you want to pursue your own happiness,
You must give up and give up your precious things.
Before you understand what you're going to pursue,
First think about what you might lose.
Can you bear to lose your life?
And my favorite,
It is the process of the little mermaid's pursuit of self and soul sublimation.
She is brave, enthusiastic, and transformed into a bubble.
It's like we're determined to pursue our dreams.
"Do what you want and reject mediocrity."
Everyone from this fairy tale,
Can find the strength to motivate themselves.
So fairy tales are not fake,
It's just that we didn't understand it at the time.
05
I don't know if you can feel it.
The adult world,
Often, a fairy tale is needed to soothe us.
As Fu Seoul said:
"Only in fairy tales will good and evil be rewarded in the end,
Those who work hard will be happy,
If no one in this world cares about you anymore,
When you are sad, there are clouds in the sky that shed tears for you,
When you're sad, there are flowers on the side of the road to cheer you on."
Our lives may not be as dreamy as the above,
But when working overtime, order a cup of coffee and make a cup of tea.
You'll fantasize about being a teenager in a fairy tale who drank a magical power potion.
Drink it and immediately become the power to do it all.
We've had a sad thing,
Will talk to their own pets,
Fantasize that they can really understand like pets in fairy tales.
There is no magic potion in this world that can cure everything,
Nor are there animals that can understand our grief.
But we always rely on this belief again and again,
Get through these tough times.
"The ability of adults to perceive happiness,
It depends on how much faith in fairy tales you retain in your heart."
Looking back,
You believe that fairy tales are true,
Your dreams will always come true.

I remember an American newspaper once interviewed a man.
He played an animated character in Disney for more than two decades.
Originally he was just an ordinary ticketing staff member in Disney.
But one day he received a task,
It turned out that there was a family of four going on vacation to Disney,
But there was a car accident on the way to come,
The child sees the death of his parents with his own eyes,
Judging from the belongings carried by the family, they came to the United States for tourism.
They also can't contact their relatives in their country for the time being,
You can only let the Disney staff take care of it.
This ticketing staff tried to comfort them along the way,
Take them to all kinds of fun places,
But the two children seemed to have suffered a lot of mental trauma and never smiled.
So Disney decided to arrange a "special friend meet-and-greet" for the two children.
When the child hears that Mickey and Donald Duck will come to them for a while,
A look of anticipation finally appeared on his face.
When Mickey, Goofy, Daisy, Pooh...
One by one, these fairy tale characters come over and hold their hands and talk,
The children were finally happy and forgot about the discomfort for a while.
Finally, the children picked a flower on the side of the road.
And he said, "I'm going to give it to my mom."
In their hearts, all fairy tales turn out to be true,
Mom and Dad just existed in a different way,
They may have gone to Disney's castle and lived happily together.
The staff said:
"At that moment I finally understood,
That's Disney's biggest magic."
Since then he has been involved in the interview of the cast members,
And played Goofy for more than twenty years until retirement,
Use "magic" to heal countless people.

A few days ago, actor Gao Yixiang unfortunately passed away,
His best friend said:
I believe you went to the world of fairy tales.
His fans say:
I believe the prince went to the kingdom where the prince should live.
The fiancée who was about to enter the palace of marriage with him said:
I believe we will eventually see each other again in another way.
Fairy tales cannot solve the problems of cruel reality,
Relatives who cannot resurrect children, friends of brothers, companions of lovers
But he can make us forget the pain for a while.
They believe that there really is a world.
The people we love are all there.

The fairy tale itself is a most beautiful dream,
This dream woke up,
But the power that brings you is real.
How can a fairy tale be fake?
Knowing that justice will eventually triumph over evil,
Far more powerful than those who think justice is useless.
He who knows that all things have a response,
It is better to perceive love than people in the world who only have themselves,
People who believe in fairy tales,
Much more happiness than people who don't believe in fairy tales perceive.
Because in that world, there is a hidden original intention,
The most positive mindset towards the world at the beginning.
Fairy tales are true,
Everyone,
They are spending their whole lives reading it.
