In a certain corner of the world, there is a wonder of the world. This miracle is called the Old Summer Palace. Art has two sources: one is ideal, which produces European art; the other is fantasy, which produces Eastern art. The Summer Palace is to fantasy art what the Parthenon is to ideal art. ——Hugo

The French Empire received half of the loot from this victory, and now it was naive enough to put the glorious plunder of the Old Summer Palace on display as if it were the real owner. I long for the day when France can get rid of its burdens, cleanse itself of its guilt, and return these wealth to the plundered China. ——Hugo

Li Dazhao's poem about the Yuan Ming Yuan: "The Yuan Ming Dynasty twice destroyed Kunming, and the crane turned into a thousand years without thinking about returning. A piece of Hujia can't be blown away, and the remaining ashes are like smoke flying in the evening "Li Hu's "Visiting the Ruins of the Old Summer Palace" contains the following verses: "The unparalleled luxury, the beauty of the famous garden, turned into ashes in an instant, and the meadows and grass paths were ruined." "I wish to live in peace and prosperity. Build rivers and mountains, and achieve extraordinary results." Here there is a description of the remains of the Old Summer Palace burned by the British and French forces, and the hope of rebuilding the Old Summer Palace and even building a good country. The great French writer Hugo once said: "Even if all the treasures of Notre Dame Cathedral in our country are added together, they cannot compare with this large-scale and magnificent Oriental Museum." The descendants of the Yan and Huang people should take this as a warning. The Yuanmingyuan is our cultural treasure and contains our rich and colorful history and culture. Its destruction warns us that if we fall behind, we will be beaten and bullied.
