On March 18, 2006, in Paris, France, at the end of a protest held by students and trade union workers, a student walked towards the line of riot police.

Since early March 2006, large-scale student demonstrations have taken place in France to oppose the "First Employment Contract Law" introduced by the current De Villepin government. The bill stipulates that French companies with more than 20 employees can fire young people under the age of 26 at will within the first two years after signing an employment contract without giving reasons. The original intention of introducing this bill was to encourage companies to boldly hire young people and alleviate the high youth unemployment rate, a persistent problem in French society. It seems that the government's "good intentions" have turned into a bad thing.

French President Chirac issued a statement on April 10 announcing that the government decided to replace the controversial "first employment contract" bill with a "mechanism to help disadvantaged youth find employment." At this point, France has been in a crisis for more than a month. The popular strikes and demonstrations finally came to an end with the government's compromise. On the 11th, millions of French people, led by trade unions, took to the streets to celebrate their "historic victory."

Students and labor unions said that the president's decision undoubtedly declared that their strike, which lasted for more than a month, had finally achieved "victory." Although Chirac did not use the word "revocation" in his statement, union leaders believed that this had pronounced a "death sentence" to the "First Employment Contract" bill.

Although Chirac had previously firmly supported De Villepin's position of not withdrawing the bill, Chirac finally chose to back down because he was worried that the continuation of the demonstrations would affect France's reputation and social stability. For his ally de Villepin, Chirac's decision was a slap in the face.

Analysts believe that the abortion of the "First Employment Contract" bill indicates to a certain extent that the prospects of De Villepin's political career are worrying.

For this reason, I deliberately watched "Fight Club" from beginning to end, but I did not find this line

"Do you want to be a coward or a hero for the rest of your life? Even if it’s only a few minutes”
