Whose work is the Happy Prince?

This is the most famous fairy tale of British aesthete Oscar Wilde.

Story content:

In a city, the statue of the Happy Prince stands on it. A swallow stayed and had to stay in this city. The prince's tears and kindness touched him, and he chose to stay for the first time. The swallow is also full of love. After sending the ruby, she used her wings to ease the pain of the sick boy.

The next day, the swallow said goodbye and set off again. At the request of the prince, he had to give his eyes to the young man in tears and chose to stay for the second time. The increasingly cold weather and the call of his partner made him say goodbye to the prince again, but the prince took off his only eye and gave it to the little match girl. Choose to stay for the third time. For the last time, because he decided to stay with the prince forever. Every choice between going and staying makes the swallow die step by step. The first two choices are hesitant. The call of distant partners and the warm weather in Egypt urged the swallow to move forward, but the prince's kindness and pleading deeply touched his heart.

Facing the blind prince for the third time. Zheng Xiaoyan resolutely chose to stay at the cost of his life. When the happy prince saw the swallow die at his feet, his lead heart split in two. The happy prince who lost any decoration was regarded as ugly by the citizens, and then the workers melted the happy prince in the stove and threw lead on the garbage.

When spring comes, angels come to this city and take away two of the most beautiful things-the lead heart and the body of a swallow. God resurrected them and lived in heaven forever.

The city depicted in the story is the epitome of Victorian English society. Wilde put all kinds of ugly phenomena in the real society into the story, mercilessly lashed and exposed the cruel society at that time, and expressed deep sympathy for the charitable relief activities of the sympathetic happy prince and swallow and their ultimate failure. At the same time, he hinted at the author's ideal social system tendency through the story itself, and fundamentally questioned the moral standards of the society at that time.
