Using Smurfs as a metaphor for people represents kindness, cleverness, and cuteness.
"The Smurfs" originated in Belgium. In 1958, the Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, whose pseudonym was Peyo, created the artistic image of "The Smurfs".
It became very popular as soon as it was released. In the late 1950s, it was animated and broadcast on Belgian television.
The story tells that deep in the forest, there lives a group of carefree and happy elves. They are all blue, so they are called Smurfs.
They live in a mushroom house in their own village. The elf father, elf sister, Benben, Lele, etc. make the elf village full of laughter every day.
However, there is an evil wizard named Gargamel living in a castle deep in the forest. He spends his whole day planning how to find the Elf Village and capture the Smurfs alive.
Of course, the Smurfs would not sit still and wait for death. They used their wisdom to fight against Gargamel.
