928 Human Nature Is All the Same
Holley pouted and made a playful smile, as if with a little eccentricity: "Well, I'll take you to a place in a moment, and I hope you can get a taste of the rich minds of the people of Besançon." ”
Leaving the restaurant, Yelena Holly did not drive, and led Chen Wen on a two-stop tram and a short walk to the Besançon City Museum.
Chen Wen was a little surprised, why did he come to the museum in a good manner, shouldn't he go to those famous scenic spots to take pictures and check in? Ancient buildings, ancient castles, ancient bridges and so on are interesting. What can museums see, skull bones, cultural relics, or relics used by some celebrity.
But Chen Wen didn't talk nonsense. The representative of the French pop music scene personally served as a tour guide, and clearly said that he wanted to take Chen Wen to appreciate the thoughts of the Besançon people, so there must be goods, and Chen Wenjing was a student. If the lesson doesn't sound good, then go in the left ear and out the right ear, and look for an opportunity to press Holley down in the back seat of the station wagon, and the trip can be called perfect.
Walking into the Besançon City Museum, Huo Lai didn't look at the other exhibition halls, and led Chen Wen into Hugo's exhibition hall, which is also the largest exhibition content in the museum.
The Hugo exhibition hall is quite large, and the whole huge hall is full of Hugo-related materials. There are also several annex halls next to it, which are also various extended themes of Hugo.
Chen Wen is too familiar with Hugo, and when he was a child, he read several Chinese translations of this great writer, and there are also references to Hugo in Chinese primary and secondary school textbooks.
Coming to Hugo's birthplace today, and walking into the exclusive exhibition hall of the museum in this person's hometown, Chen Wen was a little excited.
The two walked side by side, their shoulders touching each other from time to time.
There was no loud noise in the museum, and Horley asked in a low voice: "Hugo's works, as a student majoring in Western literature in the Academy of Letters, you should have seen them all, right?"
Chen Wen smiled: "Do you need me to memorize a few passages for Professor Holly to review? But to be honest, I can only memorize the Chinese translation, and I have not read the original French." ”
Holley covered his mouth with one hand and smiled for a while: "I have seen enough Chinese translations, we don't need to look at the boasting booth of Hugo's works next to us, I will take you to see the treasures of the Besançon City Museum." ”
Chen Wen thought to himself: That's probably the original manuscript of Hugo's great works, right?!
Walking to the middle of the main exhibition hall, a thing like a crystal coffin covers the treasure of the town hall.
Chen Wen followed Holly's side, trembling over to take a look, imagining that it should be hundreds of yellowed old pieces of paper, which should be Hugo's handwriting.
But Chen Wen, a college student in the Faculty of Arts, misestimated again, and there was only one piece of paper.
A yellowed piece of torn paper, embedded in a sealed glass plate, lay quietly in a crystal coffin.
Double sealing, double insurance, it can be seen that the museum attaches great importance to this thing, after all, it is the treasure of the museum.
The handwriting on the treasure of the town hall has gone through nearly two hundred years of history and is already very blurred. With the help of the propaganda board next to the crystal coffin, Chen Wen understood what this thing was.
Hugo's medical certificate of birth for his old man!
Birth certificate!
At this time, a group of tourists entered the exhibition hall, and the staff who led the way introduced in a proud tone: "The great Hugo was born in our great Besançon, and then you will see the medical certificate of Hugo's birth, I personally think that this document is the eleventh wonder in human history." ”
Chen Wen almost laughed, the narrator here is too boastful, Hugo's birth certificate has been lifted to a level like the pyramids and the Great Wall!
The narrator continues: "The place of birth has a unique exclusivity, thanks to this great instrument, which proves that Hugo belongs to us in Besançon. Oh ladies and gentlemen, this year is the 190th anniversary of the birth of Victor Hugo, and our celebration in February is simply unique in the world, so I will take you to another exhibition hall where many glorious moments of this year's celebration are recorded, and countless leaders from all countries have come to us in Besançon......"
Listening to the narrator's explanation with a boastful tone, Chen Wen felt awkward in his heart. Hugo belongs to all mankind, how can it belong to you Besançon.
Huo Lai gently tugged at the hem of Chen Wen's clothes, led him to the door of the main exhibition hall, took a booklet and handed it to him.
Chen Wen opened it and saw Hugo's life introduction. Chen Wen is quite familiar with this thing, he read a lot of this kind of thing when he was a child in his previous life.
Since it was handed over to him by Holey himself, and it was a brochure from Hugo's hometown museum, its meaning was different from those words in Chinese textbooks, and Chen Wen was happily careful
After reading Hugo's personal life achievements at the beginning, and then reading the biography of the characters in the second part, Chen Wenpin found out what was wrong.
Amazingly, Hugo only stayed here for 6 weeks from the time he was born to the time he left Besançon!
Hugo's father, a general under Napoleon, was stationed in Besançon with his pregnant wife and two sons. It was during the garrison that his wife gave birth to Hugo.
The local doctor in charge of the delivery issued the general with the birth certificate of his youngest son, the same one he had just seen in the crystal coffin.
Six weeks later, Napoleon's order arrived, and Hugo's father was transferred to Marseille, leaving the family's temporary residence of Besançon with his wife and three sons, including Hugo, who was only a month and a half old.
After that, Hugo lived until he died at 83 and never returned to Besançon!
There are a few examples in the booklet, where Hugo mentions Besançon's name in some of his works.
Holai led Chen Wen to the 190th anniversary exhibition hall of Hugo's birth, which the group of tourists were visiting. Chen Wen took a tour, and the walls were full of various bigwigs who visited Besançon at the beginning of this year to participate in the Hugo commemoration
Photos, like an exhibition of results.
After seeing this hall, Horley left the museum with Chen Wen.
On the tram back to the parking lot, Hollet said: "Well, what new understanding do you have of the minds of the Besançons?"
Chen Wen said with a smile: "Perfect tourism theme management, exclusive, exclusive. ”
Holly sighed softly: "In the minds of those who love Hugo, Hugo belongs to France, to the whole world, to all mankind. But in the hearts of the people of Besançon, Hugo only belongs to Besançon. ”
Chen Wen remembered that in his previous life, many places in China in the 21st century had engaged in tourism-themed projects, which were exactly the same as Besançon's.
He gently shook one of Hollai's hands and said softly, "Thank you for giving me a taste of the thoughts of the people of Besançon. ”
Huo Lai didn't withdraw his hand, and looked at Chen Wen with a sideways face: "This is not thought, but human nature." ”
Chen Wen smiled and said: "Yes, this is human nature, possession, and selfishness. ”
The shaking tram shook the shoulders of the two people and collided constantly, and the distance between the two cheeks came and went, sometimes only a few centimeters, and Chen Wen even felt the heat of Holai's snort.
Holly's gasping became more and more rapid, and his cheeks began to tense hard.
"Oh, it's time to get off. Huo Lai stood up, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and took one of Chen Wen's hands.
The two stops were very short, and when he got off the tram, Chen Wen looked back at the old style of transportation, and he thought: Hugo has never returned to Besançon in his life, and if I miss Holai in the future, I might as well come to Besançon to find traces of today.
Back in the parking lot, Chen Wen proposed: "You have been driving for more than 4 hours today, so I'll drive it next." ”
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, it's going to be night in the Alps, we have plenty of time, and I suggest that we stay in Bern tonight and continue our journey to the mountains early tomorrow morning," says Holle. ”
Chen Wen had a strange feeling in his heart, yesterday the Swiss boy Daniel sent him an invitation, asking Chen Wen if he would visit Bern, and Daniel was willing to ask his sister to arrange food and lodging for Chen Wen.
Chen Wenwan refused yesterday, but I didn't expect that I would really spend the night in Bern today, and I missed the good opportunity to eat and drink for nothing, which is indeed a pity!
Taking over the driver's seat of Holai, Chen Wen drove, Holai showed the way, and more than half an hour later passed the border between France and Switzerland, and Chen Wen and the two came to Switzerland for the first time.
As for Switzerland, Chen Wen has the impression that the country is rich and ridiculously rich.
In his previous life, Chen Wen read a report that said that the Swiss authorities have too much money, to what extent, after solving the social security, medical insurance, health care, education, and housing of all citizens, there will be a lot of money that cannot be spent every year, so the Swiss authorities made a decision to give all citizens a few thousand euros in cash every year.
