Notre Dames in Paris has nothing to do with Beijing Yuanmingyuan, but a fire in Notre Dame reminds many people from the fire of Yuanmingyuan more than 150 years ago, and set off a small saliva war on the Internet.

The Virgin of Paris can be said to be one of the most familiar world cultural heritages that Chinese people are.This is to thank the Hugo in France, especially in the Movie of Paris, which is adapted from the same name of the same name in France and Italy in 1956.

The main plot of the film is: On the way to the gangster girl Esmilada, Gypsia, the bell of the Paris Dame Cassido rescued her and brought it into the Virgin to take refuge.Casimo was ugly but kind -hearted, and he fell in love with Esmida.Esmida was later shot in a random archery by the officers and soldiers who broke into the Virgin, and Casimo hugged her body tightly.Many years later, people discovered two bones entangled together. When people wanted to separate them, the two bones suddenly turned into dust disappearing.

In the late 1970s, China, which has just begun reform and opening up, introduced this classic film.Countless Chinese audiences walked into the theater to watch the movie. While they sighed the fate of the male and female protagonists, they also remembered the Mother Virgin of Paris.

In 1983, the film fire burning Yuanmingyuan directed by Hong Kong's famous director Li Hanxiang also became popular.This film was starred by the famous mainland film star Liu Xiaoqing and the Hong Kong artist Liang Jiahui, who had debuted shortly at the time, mainly telling how Yulan Er (Cixi) grew from a young girl who was not concerned to Emperor Xianfeng's pet concubine, but in 1860 British and French forces capturedBeijing and Huoyu Yuanmingyuan are also the main line of the film.The film was well received after being released in mainland China. Some places and units also watched it as a patriotic education theme.

As a sensational film, the Paris Virgin and Burning Yuanmingyuan have left a very deep impression on the audience.Since then, the Virgin of Paris has become a well -known Paris landmark in China. Until now, most Chinese tourists have visible attractions in Paris.The British and French forces were burned by the British and French forces is not only the content of historical textbooks, but also the pain that the Chinese could not erase.Nevertheless, few people are angry with the Master of Paris because of the burning of Yuanmingyuan.

The fire of Notre Dame not only hurts the hearts of the French the day before yesterday, but also makes it sad for countries around the world.Chinese President ... The day before yesterday, the French President Macron also gave a condolences and pointed out that the Virgin of Paris is an important symbol of French civilization and an outstanding treasure of human civilization.Essence

China's mainstream media and some big V also expressed regret and distress on the fire of the Paris Virgin, but many netizens also associated the fire with the fire of the Yuanmingyuan, which concluded that the sky had eye -catching and uncomfortable retribution.

It is said that there are hundreds of millions of netizens in China, and the fire of the fire of the Paris Virgin is not surprising at all.But it is surprising that from the relevant messages of major websites, there are not a few netizens who support this sound, and even have a regretful voice for the fire of the Paris Virgin.

As a result, Chinese media have regarded this voice as a new evidence that Chinese populism is rising, and even linked it with class struggles and Cultural Revolution thinking.

But this connection is also suspected of exaggeration.In fact, most of the Chinese netizens who do not express sympathy and even gloating to the great fire of the Paris Dames have an important prerequisite, that is, the fire of the Yuanmingyuan.And when a netizen who remembered a century -old national shame commented on the fire of Notre Dame, he would inevitably say something strange.These weird things are not necessarily narrow or populist, but a natural response under specific conditions.

In any case, the great fire and fire of the Master of Paris are a major loss of human civilization. In fact, there should be no inevitable connection between the two fires, just as there is no connection between the Movie Mother's Academy of Paris and the Fire Burning Yuanmingyuan.At the same time, people do not have to excessively enlarge it for some seemingly dazzling remarks by some netizens.Most of these remarks are emotional vent in specific contexts, and the power of rationality will eventually occupy the upper hand.
