安徒生 / Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen is the Danish fairy-tale writer at the center of 55.安徒生童话：海的女儿和不灭的灵魂. The episode presents him as a 19th-century author who wrote for children without treating children as inferior readers, and whose stories become more realistic, sad, and socially attentive as his career develops.
The source uses Andersen to extend the wiki’s childhood-classic rereading branch. Stories such as 《鹳鸟》, 《屎壳郎》, 《恋人》, 《牧羊女和扫烟囱的人》, 《坚定的锡兵》, and 《铜猪》 are not treated as simple morals; they become scenes of mockery, folk belief, status fantasy, worldly love, toy dignity, death, art, and longing.
[[TheLittleMermaid|《海的女儿》]] is the episode’s central Andersen case. The reading treats the little mermaid as Andersen’s self-projection and as a spiritual figure seeking freedom, a larger world, and immortal soul rather than as a passive romance heroine.
