Lachaise's wandering soul confession(三)

The early years of 70s last century, China is very strange to come to a national sing the "Internationale." Like the Bible it and China's "East is Red" line up to sing together. In addition to the general art troupes will be sung, the popularity of the people there actually have. As for the "Internationale" clearly said, "has never been a savior", and "East is Red" was singing "He is the great savior of the people" ... ... Is this a conflict or offset each other? Has not seen the question is raised on.

At that time many people know, "The Internationale" proletarian poet Eugene - Pottier lyricist, composer Degeyter composition of workers.
I now stand, "The Internationale" words of Eugene - Pottier of the tombs. Ear, that sounded even vaguely familiar with the melody ... ...
Call people up and "smash the old world," the song, in a specific time and space, the nature has its popular reason, of which Lenin's introduction of its evaluation and far the most attention:
"The Internationale" is the proletariat own songs, is the proletariat against the bourgeoisie fighting weapon. A consciousness of the workers, regardless of which country he came, fate threw him no matter where, no matter how he felt he was a foreigner, language barrier, unaccompanied, from the motherland, he can be with "The Internationale" and familiar tunes, to his comrades and friends to find ... ...

Pottier's tombstone, the base is a rectangular block of granite, engraved with the positive, "Eugene • Pottier 1816 ~ 1887" message. Oblique base stood a white marble open book, the left page inscription is: "To the singer / Eugene • Pottier / Paris Commune members / 1816 ~ 187l ~ 1887 / his friends and admired by We presented / 1905 "; right page inscriptions as:" insurgents / let • mizel / web / bread, then / the death of the Earth / The Internationale. " This is a poem composed by Pottier table of contents, here join together, were both humorous and lively, they were intimate.
Do not know whether the cost of the grave economic situation of the tomb? Anyway, a lifetime of extreme poverty Pottier, basically there is no decoration of its tomb, and no extravagant architecture, which of course can be interpreted as the simplicity of the proletariat, the real.
In fact, Pottier also very talented, 14-year-old would write, "Long live freedom" and to participate in the "July Revolution", and later to participate in "Feb. uprising," but his most famous, of course, went underground after the failure of the Paris Commune created "Internationale." Moment I was humming its melody, to find another closely related to the "Paris Commune wall."

"Paris Commune Wall" is located in the northeast corner of Lachaise cemetery, this wall is not high nor wide, with ocher square stone, quite naturally, revealed a historical vicissitudes. White marble walls inlaid with tablet, engraved with gold above the French read: "To the victims of the commune, 1871 May 21 to 28." This is people from all over France, 21 May 1908 built on voluntary contributions.
Engraved this date, read like a very light, in fact, are all revealed a bloody history: May 20, 1871, summoned Thiers to the Paris Commune and the general offensive launched by the army of Versailles, 28, began to surround the defenders of the Paris Commune the last stronghold - Lachaise Cemetery. Commune with the government army soldiers bloody fight, the end result of Zhongguaxuanshu, the last batch of soldiers forced the commune to the cemetery wall of the northeast corner of Xialuo Na remaining 147 soldiers in the "commune" Long live the high voice in all martyrdom. So in history, then known as the "bloody week in May," which has a long face about 20 meters from the old walls called the "Commune fighters wall."

Interestingly, the executioner of Paris then strangling Thiers, also buried in Lachaise, and his tomb from this, "the Paris Commune Wall" only steps away.
Thiers said, most people probably know him during the reign of Louis Philippe was elected by the Members, and has served as Ministry of Finance, Interior, Foreign Affairs Minister, has served twice as prime minister, and in 1871 became the first third of the Republic president; and most people only remember the Paris Commune Thiers is strangling the main executioner. Had read Marx and Engels, "On the Thiers" article, I am cheering the text of the Thiers dripping Hearty vilified and banished; even paper ridiculed Thiers physical defects and are the privacy of private life, but also feel quite enjoyable. In fact, Thiers occur in addition to, and political relations, he was also a French historian, published "History of the French Revolution" (10 volumes) and "Executive Government and the imperial history" (20 volumes) and other important works. 36 years old, Thiers was elected as the French Academy ... ...

Executioner of Paris as strangulation, Thiers and Eugène Edine Pottier alive no doubt are enemies. But they died and day activity in a vein is feng shui, but also doomed to always go hand in hand with the go ... ... the two of them do not know whether to continue in heaven where grudges? Also, 147 died needlessly after the go to heaven do not know if you can still see Thiers "usual suspects"?
To see the shrine today, looked at the wall of blood year - although the total to the sacred historical events emerged, but things have changed, I am in fact, is a kind of collision of the game ... ...
