Features of this visual literature edition

Young award-winning illustrator Wu Xiaolu uses the crisp lines of animation and comics, along with distinct coloring techniques, to bring the "loveliness and innocence" of the Little Prince and his emotions to life on the flat paper. Saint-Exupéry's writing style, which resembles a modern memoir, is difficult to reproduce in comics and illustrations, but this version extends the original's melancholy mood to a refined level, with clean brushstrokes free of unnecessary emotional clutter.

The Little Prince's smiling cover seems to suggest he's looking forward to meeting the pilot again in the future.

The Little Prince's Journey

The Little Prince, from planet B612, lived a simple life, cleaning his beloved planet every day. Until he met a beautiful rose, who resembled the Borrower girl, Eritty, and had the appearance of a girl. But the rose had a proud and aloof personality, and the Little Prince didn't know how to love her, so he argued with her and ran away in a huff.

After traveling to countless planets, encountering a drunkard, a dogmatic geographer, a profit-driven businessman, and a lonely king, the Little Prince arrived at "Temple of the Lights Out," "The Train Platform," and "The Meadow Where He Met the Fox." He finally understood what he was so obsessed with: the desire to find a cure for loneliness and pain.

Then he encountered a strange fox, and then something wonderful and amazing happened...

"The Little Prince" is like a clear mirror, reflecting the absurdity of the adult world. It reminds us that only love is the noblest philosophy and the only reason we live.
