The life of Andersen:

In April p>185, a baby was born in a bed made of coffin boards. He cried loudly, as if to protest against God's relegation of angels to earth. The priest comforted his frightened mother and said, "The louder you cry when you are young, the more beautiful your song will be when you grow up." Sure enough, many years later, this day uses a nightingale-like voice to sing songs to the whole world. Even Santa Claus will not be more famous than him. His name is hans christian andersen.

Andersen's father is a poor shoemaker in Odense, Denmark. He has read many books, and he has rich imagination and a little romantic temperament, but these are not things to be thankful for. His wife is a simple woman-not beautiful, but hard-working, and easy to believe everything, including God.

This spring, the storks came again, and the gooseberry trees in the courtyard wrinkled their tiny new leaves again. Little Andersen knew that he was 6 years old. He pretended to be serious and walked beside his father, pointing out how to clean up the stork in the old nest. When he heard that after summer, the frail little storks would be pecked to death because they could not fly to Egypt for the winter, he became sad: "Let them come to our attic, and I will definitely give them something to eat in winter."

odense is a closed town, and people believe in God and witches. Many mysterious legends are rippling in the air. The grandmothers in the spinning room sometimes tell the bizarre stories in "Arabian Nights" to the little Andersen who comes to play, which enriches this originally dreamy brain. How strange the little guy is: many people sigh and feel scared when they listen to these terrible stories, but then they seem to be fine. For him, everything he heard was full of bright magic colors, as if it were true. Sometimes he would be frightened by the imaginary elves in the Woods and run home, out of her wits. Many years later, these ancient legends and childhood fantasies have become the source of his creation.

The mother is full of pity for her weak only son. In order to let him escape the physical abuse of her bad-tempered old aunt at school, 6-year-old Andersen was sent to the young Karsch Chance to study and became the youngest student. This teacher, who is respected for his fairness and gentleness, likes the quiet new students like girls very much. He often takes his hand for a walk on campus during recess and shouts to the frolicking students from time to time. "Be quiet, naughty boys, don't push the child down."

Andersen often peeks at Sarah, the only girl in the school. He imagines her as a princess in a fairy tale and longs to get close to this little girl with black eyes. Once, they went home together. In fact, his home had already passed, but he didn't say a word. Sarah, also from a poor background, vowed that she would become a female steward of a farm in the future. Andersen opened his eyes wide: "How boring that is!" How can a princess be in charge? "When I grow up, I will take you to my castle." He told the girl that his family used to be a branch of the nobility, but for some reason ... One day ... Sarah laughed, and this little guy must be crazy. The next day, Ole, a miller's son, grabbed Andersen's hair and shouted, "Good day, Duke! Where is your beautiful castle? " People around you burst into laughter.

Andersen's love suddenly retreated. But in his fantasy, he let himself save Sarah in the fire and accepted her apology. He even forgave Ole for bullying and laughing at him. When the urchin was punished for standing on the table, little Andersen put himself in the position of imagining Ole's humiliating situation, so that he cried out before the punished person cried, and begged the teacher to forgive his "hostile actor". After this incident, the son of the workshop owner became the protector of little Andersen.

Time flies, and Andersen is very happy at school. However,

the difficulties of the times closed the school and he had to go home. The puppets his father made for him brought great satisfaction to his son. He sewed beautiful clothes for the young people and let the puppets give full play to his fantasy on the "stage".

Before long, something better came into his life-he read william shakespeare's works, and the magical and magnificent plot fascinated him deeply. Soon, he will be able to recite the whole paragraph of King Lear; His puppets are also immersed in the ocean of william shakespeare's passion.

He began to make up his own play-he told the puppet a few German words his father taught him. Listen, "Besen!" How loud this word is, but you can't think of it anyway. The puppet's favorite word actually means "broom".

In 1813, Napoléon Bonaparte launched a war, and the embarrassed family and the desire for adventure pushed the shoemaker to the battlefield. Two years later, he returned home and never recovered from illness. When the snow fluttered, the ice girl who appeared in little Andersen's fantasy took away her father, leaving her helpless wife and children and biting cold.

after my father died, my mother's only way to make a living was to wash clothes for others every day. In the cold winter, the temperature of the river was unimaginable, so she had to take a few sips of wine to drive away the cold. In the eyes of decent people, what a rude behavior! Bitter rumors are endless, and people in the city are whispering-"the shoemaker's wife Maria is a woman who is addicted to alcohol!" " Andersen felt infinite humiliation for his mother. Many years later, in the fairy tale "She is a Waste", he expressed deep indignation.

Maria wanted to support her family to the death, but the gossips in the town laughed at her son's idleness, so the mother had to reluctantly send her thin and shy son to the factory for child labor. 11-year-old Andersen was dizzy by heavy work, but his singing saved him. He sang during an interval. The workers never let him work again, as long as his crisp and loud singing can break the dullness of the construction site, what else do you ask this little guy to do? Little Andersen was satisfied, because he always liked to perform in public, and he even played Macbeth in william shakespeare alone.

A worker said to him, "Why don't you become an actor?"

Yes, that's perfect for him. If you can't direct fate, wouldn't it be nice to perform it on the stage? What a wonderful idea! So, when Andersen received the confirmation ceremony at the age of 14, he showed amazing stubbornness about his mother's plan to arrange him as a tailor apprentice-"No, mom, I want to be an actor."

Although Andersen promised his mother that he would become famous, he begged and cried, but her mother never gave in. However, the fortune-telling witch helped him; "The flower of children's happiness is not here, so we have to leave here and look for it in the distance!"

With 3 silver coins and beloved puppets, young Andersen looked back to his hometown in a carriage. He once wrote such a sentence: "When I become great, I must sing about odense. Who knows, I won't be a wonder of this noble city? At that time, in some geography books, under the name of odense, there will be such a line: A lanky Danish poet Andersen was born here! "

this is an accurate prediction. However, at this time, on September 6, 1819, when the 14-year-old tall boy was looking at Copenhagen with a bag in his hand, his hometown seemed out of reach. This huge and strange city made him feel small and lonely. But he immediately wiped away his tears and told himself that now is not the time to cry, but to act and act with confidence.

This boy from a small town, like Aladdin, a poor boy in Arabian Nights, began to fight for his magic lamp.

He painstakingly asked for a letter of introduction to the famous ballerina Madame Schell, but it didn't achieve the effect of being a teacher, so he went to see Holstein, the manager of the Royal Theatre, and asked to be an actor. The manager looked at the child as thin as a stork and said, you are too thin, and you will be booed off the stage by the audience when you play. Still not disappointed, the young man suggested, "This is easy to handle. As long as you give me 1 yuan a month's salary, I will gain weight soon." The manager was angry-if the poor boy was either an idiot or just having fun, he immediately issued a marching order, and the depressed Andersen had to leave.

The dance school didn't enroll students until May, and Andersen had little money left. Introduced by an acquaintance, he worked as a coolie for a few days, and was regarded as a joke because of his local accent, so he had to leave the workshop angrily. He wandered the streets, at a loss, and suddenly remembered reading in the newspaper that the Italian singer Professor Siboni was performing in Copenhagen and opening a singing school, so he desperately broke into the professor's home in weddings. Curious guests were attracted by this young man who struggled alone in Copenhagen. What's more, his singing did show a heart that loved the Muse. Everyone donated money, and Andersen finally got his wish and entered the singing school in Siboni.

However, luck doesn't always follow one person. Although Andersen is diligent and superhuman, a serious illness has damaged his voice, and it is hopeless to learn vocal music. The next setback made him discover that he also lacked talent for dancing and acting. He finally realized that he didn't belong on the stage.

Four years' struggle to leave his hometown has made Andersen deeply feel this broader society full of joys and sorrows. At school, he read the masterpieces of Shakespeare, Goethe and other classical works of Denmark, and deeply experienced the charm of writing. He suddenly knew clearly what the "magic lamp" he wanted to pursue-that was "literature". As long as you have indomitable courage and a sincere and susceptible heart, you will certainly be able to climb the peak of literature.

In 1822, several critics read a play called Aphrodite, which was sent by a bold young man. The script is out of rhythm, and there are many grammatical mistakes-of course, the author's lack of self-cultivation is obvious. But wait a minute, there are many sparks flashing truly and vividly. Maybe this insignificant little guy can bring something clear to the drama world. So the author of the play, hans andersen, was sent to a Latin school for further study, and Mr. Gu Lin, a national consultant, applied for a royal fee for him to pay for it.

17-year-old Andersen is tall and thin, so it is not a pleasant thing for him to sit in a junior class with the children. The children laughed at him as a country fool because he didn't know the manners of the upper class at all. In their eyes, he was the unpopular "ugly duckling"; At the same time, how boring those complicated Latin modifiers are: empty languages have no soul even if they are artificially decorated, and he must recite them!

However, after trials and tribulations, he finally passed the graduation exam in 1828. Moreover, in recent years, he has read the works of many poets and writers, such as Byron, Heine and Scott. They are the real treasures!

At school, Andersen didn't forget his creation. His poems Evening and Dying Children were published in the journal of writer Heidenborg, and received great acclaim. In 1829, Andersen's comedy "Love on the nikolayev Tower" was premiered. Listening to the applause of the audience, the young playwright burst into tears. More than ten years ago, he was sharply despised and denied in the same theater. Today, he finally succeeded and was recognized and cheered by the public.

"Travel is life", as Andersen said. From 1831, Andersen began his first roaming abroad. Throughout his life, he visited all countries in Europe with an umbrella, a walking stick and a simple bag, and successively completed his works such as A Roaming in Amag Island, Fantasy Sketch and Travel Silhouette. In 1835, his autobiographical novel The Impromptu Poet was published, which was warmly welcomed.

Andersen is a poet, playwright and travel writer. He is versatile and he can cut paper well. In the museum in memory of him, there are all kinds of patterns he cut, including dancers hanging on the Christmas tree, all kinds of flowers and animals, and even the gate emblem on the gate, which is also a paper-cut of his head.

But fairy tales are the crown of all Andersen's creations. In 1835, Andersen wrote to his girlfriend and said, "I'm going to create for the next generation." From his childhood experience, Andersen deeply understood the loneliness and pain of poor children's lives. He believes that in the field of poetry, nothing can be infinitely inclusive like fairy tales. Fairy tales will give children some happiness, hope and lessons, right? He began to create with all his feelings and thoughts.

In 1835, Andersen's first collection of fairy tales came out, which included four fairy tales: Lightbox, Little Klaus and Big Klaus, Princess on Wandou and Flowers of Little Ida. These fairy tales come from Andersen's own life experience. "They are hidden in my mind like' seeds'. A trickle, a beam of sunshine or a drop of bitter wine can make them break through the ground."

Since this year, a new fairy tale has come to children every Christmas. He wrote for 43 years, until the end of his life, he created 168 works. The poetic language and twists and turns made his fairy tales become the most widely read books in the world before his death. "Ugly Duckling", "Firm Tin Soldier", "Wild Swan" and "Nightingale" … He endowed everything with fresh souls and made them sing. He dedicated them to everyone-the children were fascinated by the strange and touching story; Adults linger between his deep philosophies of life.

Andersen's fairy tales are not only full of fantastic sparks, but also the writer who grew up from suffering has deep sympathy for the working people and those children who live in pain. In The Little Match Girl, the little girl who didn't sell a match all day curled up in the corner and lit a match. In the dim light, she imagined the joy of Christmas Eve: the roast goose with a white tablecloth and a knife and fork on her body staggered in the heat ... But the illusion passed quickly. On the morning of New Year's Day, people found that she had frozen to death in the street. No one knows how many same children are barefoot in winter nights. Andersen has no way to solve this profound social problem, so he has to hope for heaven with deep sorrow.

In his later years, Andersen wrote the longest fairy tale, Lucky Belle, which is autobiographical. Belle, the hero of fairy tales, pursues the utmost beauty and artistic realm full of beauty all his life. When he succeeds, when the audience cheers him, when his beloved girl throws a bouquet at him, "like Sophocles when he was competing in Olympia, like when Mr. Dova heard the symphony in the theater ... an arterial tube in his heart burst. Like lightning, his days here are over-in the joy of the world, after completing his mission to the world, without any pain. He is luckier than thousands of people! " This is the pursuit of Andersen's own life.

Andersen is not beautiful, and he is not from a famous family. In front of women, he has a deep inferiority complex. When he was studying, he lived among Gulin's family, and Mr. Gulin's daughter, Louisa Gulin, who was gentle, beautiful and had a deep literary accomplishment, went deep into it.
