Fairy tales are all about the simplest truth. The educational significance of the little match girl is also very simple. It is to tell children to cherish the happy life they have now. You see, there are many children like you in the world. They are so pitiful that they freeze to death on the streets with no food to eat.

The same goes for "The Little Match Girl". The little girl's fantasy has three stages, which happen to be the three things that children need most. Food, toys, and family affection are what the poor little girl longs for most, and what our children are born with. So if this story is told to children, it will cultivate children's empathy and teach them to sympathize with others and pity others. Educate children to cherish their existing happy life.

As for why it is included in primary school textbooks, it is because our country’s education system attaches great importance to political education, and it must be implemented in children from an early age. In primary school, these similar articles are used to expose capital. The ugliness of socialist society and the huge gap between rich and poor show the superiority of socialism in contrast.

Similar foreign literary works in primary school textbooks basically have this function. This is also the most basic political education suitable for primary school students. It is to tell you that our country is good, socialism is good, and our lives will be better. What a blessing.
