In the afternoon we take metro line 2 to the graveyard, a walk into the cemetery inside zhuaxia. In the face of the vast sea of the Tomb, the dense forest of steles, it really doesn't matter from. I can list many columns may be limited where looking at the time of their tomb wow? both in for a pound, along the rough blocks slowly find, find the calculation that, so with a simple cemetery map and door signs we started looking for. Spent a good half-day effort was first found the tomb of Chopin, on his tombstone front carved his side head relief, here is his name and birthday, tombstone above is wrapped with a veil, springs from the grief with hair, loosely humming girl head sculpture, in front of the tomb of a visitor who presented many flowers. In front of his burial, which help in memory of the musician's life and those who are familiar with the music, he and his big 6-year-old woman writer George · legend of Mulberry's love, his brilliant Piano Sonata, his sensitive, delicate, rich and intense poetic ….In Chopin's grave left a shadow later started the hard to find.
Balzac's Tomb? Callas Tomb where ... we just kept on looking for that kept questioning. Usually come here mostly for relatives and ancestors ' graves, asking them capital is shaking his head, ask cemetery staff also just tell you a general orientation. We are at a loss if she suddenly found a middle-aged men in France is holding a book reading in the graveyard, thought this one was really quite interesting, in the graveyard book, is to seek a calm here, or for other what …. Didn't think we would look forward to using bad English say his Balzac's Tomb and Callas's Tomb in which he looked me in the hands of the map, and then tell us the exact location of the cemetery. We know and in the direction of his means, and will probably go to 100 metres, the man from France followed up and called out to us that you want to take us. At that time I felt really good is very excited to Wow, did not know that what is good, he kept just learned French said: ' buy and drink drink but pity! buy (thank you) '!He seems to always be here, on the cemetery of everything is so familiar that we as he moves through the forest of steles trail, every person he feels important cemeteries are thin as we explain, in part is we know and don't know.
When he saw us puzzled looks when hand animatedly, tell us who is a poet, thinker who is …. In his lead by our first came to ashes to ashes toilet casket Hall is set in four of the wall, famous soprano singer Callas's tomb is placed on the ground floor, her tombstone, is 16259, I never thought that such a world famous soprano of only 30 cm x monument, tombstones were left to plug in a bunch of flowers, may also be like we do admire her offer. In her grave stands, it seems my ear pierced her sing in the Opera "Tosca", "for love, for the sake of art" sweet sentimental songs. "For love, for the sake of art" is on her short life of the best comments.Out of ashes, we turn to find writers Pu Brest, Balzac, Don Wright, Oscar Wilde, Nodier, Don Wright, La Fontaine, Jean-Paul Sartre couples; painters de la Croix St. Simon, thinkers; poet Eugene. Bob Utah El; composer Bize, Nai, library, Rossini, Bailey, et al. 's grave, in their grave I only heart silently to pay tribute to them, because their health, for the mankind to create too much too valuable spiritual wealth, they deserve people they admire and cherish forever.
Lachaise father Cemetery there are so many world-class cultural celebrities here Habitat, this make people have to think about, if globalization is not only the city to see foreign living come or not, live, also foreigners died leaving no stay of the soul.
But such a city, the world has not. For many centuries, Paris has maintained a "intercourse". It enables aliens after death love to stay here. Underappreciated artists, retirement of Hollywood stars and cynicalDissidents, coup ousted politician, think of Paris. Past China in a word: a person's birth is not selected, but his future is optional. In other words: a life in what city was accidental, but buried in what the city can be selected. There are many foreigners, selection and was buried in Paris. Selected Paris, just select the free life. This is the significance of Paris, Lachaise father cemetery.Here I have a feeling that some of the world famous tombs and other non-famous grave than is so simple and plain, too obscure, but has that kind of person who's bootstrap France, I really can't imagine can find so many celebrities in the Tomb, he showed us what are the necropolis a good two and a half hours until the closed park after dark is deplored.
When I left my chest at parting with a rose in France flag medal award him, he told us he would like it very much literature and classical music. No wonder he here so familiar with, no wonder he can proudly point to explain to us the way, maybe he is as there are so many world famous people could live in Paris and proud, maybe also for we have the same interests. But anyway, my mind is very grateful to the people of France. I also remember those graveyard dead souls, I will always remember the old alive France friends.This is why I put this day as France travel cards.
