  This year is the 146 anniversary of Andersen, father of fairy tale. He passed away on August 4th, 1875, at the age of 70.
  Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish fairy tale writer and poet noted for his children’s stories. These include The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, The Little Match Girl, and The Ugly Duckling.
  During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide. His works have been translated into more than 150 languages. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.
  Born in the small town of Odense, Denmark in 1805, Andersen’s life was not easy. His father was a sickly man and his mother washed clothing for a living. His mother wasn’t highly educated, but she introduced Andersen to folklore. This encouraged his love of stories, plays, and the theater at a young age. These hobbies, which were combined with Andersen’s love of literature, eventually helped him become a famous writer.
  Andersen was forced to start working after his father passed away in 1816. For a time, he worked as a tailor, and then in a tobacco factory. At 14, he moved to Copenhagen to become a singer. However, after his voice changed, a director at the Royal Theater arranged for Andersen to go back to school. Andersen began his writing career by writing plays and poems for a local journal.
  Then, in 1835, Andersen broke into novel writing with The Improvisator. The plot of this novel is the basis of many of Andersen’s works. In general, Andersen’s stories are mostly about a main character who has to face many problems while he or she is pursuing happiness. Despite his success in novel writing, it was children’s tales that eventually brought Hans Christian Andersen fame.
  今年(2021年)是“童話之父”安徒生去世146周年。他于1875年8月4日逝世,享年70岁。
  汉斯·克里斯汀·安徒生是一位丹麦童话作家和诗人,以其童话作品闻名于世。代表作有《小锡兵》《冰雪女王》《小美人鱼》《拇指姑娘》《卖火柴的小女孩》《丑小鸭》等。
  安徒生因为“给全世界的孩子带来欢乐”而受到高度赞扬。他的作品已经被翻译为150多种文字。安徒生童话故事还激发了大量电影、舞台剧、芭蕾舞剧,以及电影动画的制作。
  安徒生1805年出生于丹麦的欧登赛小镇,他的日子过得并不好。他的父亲体弱多病,而母亲则靠洗衣服维持生计。安徒生的母亲没受过高等教育,但她带给安徒生许多民间传说。这使得他在小小年纪就热爱故事、剧本和戏剧。这些爱好与安徒生对文学的热爱相互结合,最终帮助他成为著名作家。
  安徒生的父亲于1816年过世,那时他便被迫开始工作。他曾一度以裁缝师为职,之后又在烟草厂干活。14岁时,他搬到哥本哈根,成为一名歌手。不过在安徒生变声之后,皇家剧院的一位导演便安排安徒生回到学校读书。安徒生为当地一家杂志社撰写剧本和诗作,从而开始了他的写作生涯。
  1835年,安徒生以《即兴诗人》一书进入小说领域。这本小说的情节是安徒生许多作品的基础。大致上,安徒生的故事都是描述主角在追逐幸福的途中面临了许多困难。尽管在小说写作上颇为成功,但最终使安徒生成名的还是童话故事。
