The Little Prince(小王子)

Crafted by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, this timeless novella wraps readers in a universe where stars breathe and flowers hold secrets. Set against the backdrop of interstellar wanderings, it tells of a little prince who leaves his tiny planet B-612, encountering a king drunk on power, a lamplighter chasing time, and a fox who reveals the magic of "taming"—that love turns ordinary moments into gold.

Saint-Exupéry weaves wonder through the prince's journey: his rose, with thorns as fragile as her pride; the desert where a snake's bite becomes a bridge home; and the truth that "what is essential is invisible to the eye." Like the author's own yearning for meaning amid war, the story blooms with melancholy beauty, reminding us that our hearts are maps to what truly matters—whether it's a rose on a distant asteroid or the laughter of stars overhead.

The novel A Man Called Ove(《一个叫欧维的男人决定去死》). 
It has received widespread acclaim since its publication. The protagonist Ove, an elderly man with a stubborn and grumpy exterior, but a kind and warm-hearted interior, has left a deep impression on readers. His life experiences, emotional changes, and identity struggles depicted in the novel provide rich materials for exploring the construction of elderly identity. At the same time, the narrative of the novel, with its unique perspective and techniques, endows Ove's character with more depth and complexity, making it a typical case worthy of in-depth study.

The last book I read was Someone to Talk To(一句顶一万句) by Liu Zhenyun.

It's a moving Chinese novel that explores how people struggle to find true understanding in life. The story follows ordinary villagers and city dwellers across generations, all searching for someone who can really 'hear' them. What makes it special is how it blends humor with deep loneliness - you'll laugh at the characters' clever wordplay one moment, then feel their quiet despair the next.

Through simple conversations about everyday things, the book reveals how hard it can be to connect with others, whether in rural villages or modern cities.

If you enjoy stories about human relationships with a distinctly Chinese flavor, this award-winning novel will stay with you long after the last page.
