The early life environment of the ugly duckling in The Ugly Duckling is very bad. Mother duck hatched a flock of ducklings. The duckling that finally emerged from its shell was "really too big" and was recognized as "ugly" because it was different, so it was "pecked everywhere, squeezed out and laughed at" among the chickens and ducks, and even its mother duck wanted to keep it away. So the poor duckling ran away. The outside world is more dangerous. The hunter's shotgun went bang, bang, and his new friend, two male geese, bled to death. He was almost bitten by a big hunting dog. It ran away again and entered a farmhouse with cats and hens. Because it can't lay eggs like a hen or "arch its back, purr and generate sparks" like a cat, it is deprived of the right to speak by hens and male cats. His wish to "swim in the water" was ridiculed as "strange idea" and he had to leave the hens and cats who claimed to be his "true friends". It came to the "wide world". It saw a group of beautiful big birds flying to a warm country here. Their soaring makes it "feel an indescribable excitement" and "never forget". But when winter came, it froze to death and fainted on the ice. It was not until the terrible winter that it was taken in by a kind farmer. Don't peer bullying, external violence and ignorance of mediocrity have many similarities with the sarcasm and bullying that Andersen suffered in his early years? The ugly duckling does have the shadow of Andersen. The pain of the ugly duckling comes not only from violence and hunger and cold, but also from spiritual discrimination and separation. The latter is far more harmful than the former, and it becomes an eternal pain in the soul. From the perspective of social psychology, people can only know themselves among their peers and can only be recognized by their peers. Beyond the scope of the same kind, it is often difficult to understand each other. Although the ugly duckling and other ducklings were hatched by the same duck mother, its supernormality makes its compatriots feel "non-China" and it is difficult to agree. It is also difficult to integrate into their group, so we can't help being excluded and feeling lonely. At the same time, for hens and male cats, we can only understand the pursuit and ideal of ugly ducklings within the scope and possibility of the same kind; Beyond this range and possibility, the pursuit and ideal of the ugly duckling can not but be regarded as "simply crazy" by them. Because in their view, the greatest ideal in life is "laying eggs" and "cackling", that is, "striking a light". Besides, it's all illusory delusions and impossible nonsense. The loneliness after being rejected and the pain caused by "you don't know me" are hard to get rid of and can't be described in words.
