Stir the battle that plagues the soul that plagues the West
Thomas Jolly, the prestigious theater director who carefully planned the opening ceremony, faced the storm, explaining that he was not deliberately subverting, ridiculed or creating shock, but to pass a kind of love message, tolerance, toleranceInformation.Perhaps this is not the tolerance method he expects, but the reality is the criticism of the mountains and the sea, and participated in the conversation in an angry way.Angry shows that this performance triggers personal emotions, rather than an unrelated bystander, touched the deepest thinking and sensitive nerves in Europe, and stirred the struggle of the soul of the West after more than 200 years of the French Revolution.
