The Little Prince's Enlightenment (New Edition) (Hardcover) / by Sung-wing Chow, illustrated by Hau-yan Au

**Why did the Little Prince leave his rose? How did the fox's teachings help the Little Prince overcome his crisis and understand the meaning of taming? Was the Little Prince's final choice to entrust his fate to the viper truly a wise one?** These are questions many readers of *The Little Prince* ponder. In *The Little Prince's Enlightenment*, Professor Sung-wing Chow offers profound interpretations of these questions, blending his philosophical insights with a childlike wonder, guiding readers into the world of the Little Prince to seek that beautiful oasis of thought. This new edition of *The Little Prince's Enlightenment* features a comprehensive revision of all essays and includes several new ones. This book is an award-winning work from the 28th "Secondary School Students' Book Chart" organized by the Professional Teachers' Union and has also received the 10th "Hong Kong Book Award." Cultural critic and renowned author Chen Guan-chung believes *The Little Prince's Enlightenment* can help readers "remember that adults were once unique children, allowing them to grow and mature without abandoning their true selves." Renowned playwright Candace Chong Meiyan feels Chow's writing "always carries wisdom and sincerity, and this time, there is an added tenderness that soothes the scars of our times." Professor Joseph Sung-yao Shen, President of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, recommends: "Chow's books have taught me to understand *The Little Prince*." The author sincerely tells us that *The Little Prince* is more than just a fairy tale for children.
