Andersen's fairy tales expose and castigate falsehood, evil and ugliness, but they are more praise and yearning for truth, goodness and beauty, giving people sunrise-like warmth and healthy upward strength.

This is also the fundamental reason why Andersen's fairy tales can last for a long time, fit the present and the future, and become classics.
