This song tells the story in the tone of Louis XVI, the last king of France.

Anyone who has studied high school history knows that Louis XVI was the brother who was guillotined by the French people.

Louis XVI, like Li Yu, the queen of China's Southern Tang Dynasty, was regarded by later generations as the king of national subjugation who was born in the royal family. They all have strong talents in a certain field. On the contrary, political skills and statecraft are not their strong points.

Louis XVI is good at making locks. His locks are not only practical, but also of artistic value. They can not only make various animal images, but also make various mechanisms of change. For example, if you open a lock like a squirrel, it will nod frequently; Open a lock that looks like a salamander. You can spray water after three turns of the key.

This technology is also very powerful now. But unfortunately, there are no eggs.

At that time, Louis XVI was called "the king of locksmiths", and his love for locks even went to the point of putting the cart before the horse.

He paid a lot of money to invite Goldman, a folk expert, to let him freely enter and leave his bedroom, which some ministers did not have. Whenever the state affairs are complicated to a certain extent, he disappears and hides in his workshop.

But in France at that time, the situation was already very serious.

Louis XIV was a master of militarism when he came to power. After years of fighting, he not only left himself the reputation of "the sun king", but also was deeply involved in the financial crisis of debt.

As soon as he took office, Louis XV became bohemian and indulged in debauchery. It has been circulating that he once said a classic sentence, "It doesn't matter if I die."

In fact, the original words came from his mistress Madame de Pompadour. According to the correct translation, the original meaning should be "After my death, there will be a big flood". In any case, while enjoying themselves, they seem to have foreseen that France will face a major crisis in the future.

After taking over the mess, Louis XVI did not do nothing.

Because a big problem in France at that time was the extreme exploitation of the people by the privileged class, in order to suppress the power of the privileged class and seek more benefits for the French people, he changed several cabinet prime ministers and initiated a series of reforms.

But the situation was out of his control, and the opposition of the privileged class stopped the pace of reform and cut off the wings of the reformists. From then on, I became a lonely person.

As far as personality is concerned, Louis XVI is a good man.

It is a rare minimalism among French kings in past dynasties. He lives a simple life, has no mistress, and has no other hobbies except making locks. His moral character was respected and praised by the French people at that time.

Later, the French historian Miner commented that he was "honest, kind-hearted" and "without any ambition, so he may be the only monarch without power ambition, and also the only monarch with the two advantages of fearing God and loving the people that all good kings should have".

But he can't manage this family. His wife Marie Antoinette was originally a princess of the Austrian Empire. She has a luxurious style, holding dances, playing with fashion, holding celebrations and repairing gardens. She's dying, and she's still buying it at buy buy.

It could not rule the country, not only could it not attack the privileged class, but was forced to hold a three-level meeting to raise taxes to the third level represented by the civilian class, which directly led to the outbreak of the French Revolution.

Just like there is a line in an anime: all the misfortunes in the world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties.

After the outbreak of the French Revolution, Louis XVI showed a changeable side, supporting the Constitutional Convention representing the forces of change and secretly organizing foreign forces. Even, I want to flee abroad, transfer domestic contradictions through organizing the Olympic War, and provide opportunities for myself to regain power.

Such a performance made his reputation plummet. In the end, he was sentenced to death by the French people for "treason"

In fact, most French people at that time supported the constitutional monarchy and hoped that the regime could change in a more moderate way. Even jacobins's most radical leader, robespierre, didn't want to completely overthrow the rule of Bourbon at first.

If Louis XVI had seen the situation clearly from the beginning and understood how to delegate power, instead of repeatedly making small moves. France may be able to achieve a peaceful revolution like Britain.

Perhaps, he firmly believes that only under his rule can the French people get rid of the hot water and get a happy life.

He loved his people, but they no longer believed in him and passed a resolution by one vote, pushing him to the guillotine.

Before that, Louis XVI felt that the original guillotine had a certain chance of making mistakes, which would cause unnecessary pain to the prisoners. I personally improved the guillotine and now use it on myself.

At the last moment, he said: My death is innocent, I forgive my enemies, and I hope my blood is good for the French.

But unfortunately, his blessing was completely empty.

France after the Great Revolution was even more chaotic and bloody. Robespierre, who came to power, engaged in terrorism and killed people like hemp. After that, Napoleon, who came to power through the foggy month coup, became more autocratic.

Another revolutionary, Dandong, according to Marie Antoinette of Zweig, slaughtered 200 French people and raped their bodies in three days.

Marie Antoinette told her 8-year-old son "Never take revenge on his parents" before her death, but he was cut off in two years and tortured to death in prison.

In the decades after his death, France was full of death, violence and agitation compared with his reign. Presumably, the French people at that time missed this kind and generous king.

At the end of last century, when France celebrated the bicentennial of the Great Revolution, then French President francois mitterrand said, "Louis XVI is a good man, and it is a tragedy to put him to death, but it is also inevitable."

Noble people are far from our real life. But in historical and literary works, we can see a noble spirit.

True nobility is not only material, but also spiritual wealth. Their greatest feature is compassion.

Lev tolstoy,/kloc-a master of Russian literature in the 0/9th century, was born in a noble family and lived a well-off life. But he is full of reflection on his class and has great love and sympathy for farmers. In his later years, he donated all his possessions to the poor, went to the fields in person, and participated in reform-through-labour with farmers. Finally, he died in poverty.

There is also an allusion to Nietzsche's "Turin Horse". In Turin, poor Nietzsche saw a horse whipped wildly by its owner on the roadside. Like a madman, he ran to hold it, kissed it, and burst into tears.

Are compassionate spiritual aristocrats. They are willing to feel and bear the hardships and pains of others.

This spirit is rare in our country. At least, it is incomprehensible to the public.

Because poverty limits our imagination. Not only the life of the rich, but also some noble sentiments.

Just as everyone's material life is gradually enriched, I hope to follow my heart and live a better and happier life. Someone told you that we should have fraternity and empathy. Most of the reactions are resistant.

It seems to be the last word that the economic base determines the superstructure. The ancients also said that you can know the honor and disgrace by saving grain for hunger. But none of this can explain why before the abolition of serfdom, Russia was a great master in an era when the whole nation was suffering and depressed.

Moreover, in life, we can always see some people. They may not make a lot of money and have a lot of knowledge, but they will make people feel comfortable and have an elegant temperament.

Other virtues are hard to say, but at least compassion lies in "knowledge." Put yourself in others' shoes, you may find it difficult for others, and you may find that if things happen to you, you may not do better than others.

This change in thinking is simple to say but difficult to say. Because we are always paranoid and can't let go of ourselves.

But at least, this is the direction of efforts. No matter how good the life is, it can also be a spiritual aristocrat.

Viva La Vida is Spanish and Chinese means eternal life.

In the long history and social changes, no life can live forever by itself. Even a king, at the peak of his power, is noble and upright, and is also a negligible existence in the vicissitudes of life.

But with compassion, we can feel the continuation of a great spirit. Life may be expanded and immortal.
