The Ugly Duckling is a fairy tale created by Danish writer Andersen, which was first published in 1843. This book describes a swan egg that broke its shell in a duck and was despised by the duck because of its strange appearance. After many hardships, I grew into a white swan. The Ugly Duckling has been translated into many languages and widely circulated.

The ugly duckling shows that as long as there is an ideal, there is a pursuit. It doesn't matter if you work hard for this goal, even in adversity. "Gold always shines." Frustration and pain in life are inevitable, and we can only face them bravely. At the same time, "ugly duckling" is also a metaphor for children or young people who are not paid attention to, and sometimes it refers to things that have just appeared and are not paid attention to.

The work reveals the discrimination and prejudice in western society, which is unfair to the "ugly duckling" because he is a swan. It reflects the vanity and indifference of some so-called nobles and has a profound social theme. The discrimination and bullying suffered by the ugly duckling is really unfair.
