[Masterpiece Les Miserables] Paris Sparks

On Saturday night, Meuchan's back room was packed with members of ABC.

It has been a few days since the strike, and the aftermath of the matter has basically come to an end. The people who had to take the exam have also passed the exam, and everyone has arrived -- and, apart from the members of ABC, there is no one else present.Driven by strong surprise and curiosity, these somewhat sloppy young people arrived earlier one by one. When the night fell, the back hall was full of people, and when there was still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time, they were the latest to leave work. Feuilly also arrived.

"What are you talking about?" He sat on an empty chair and casually asked Re'an next to him.

"I'm talking about Cole. No, he's actually not Cole...Anyway, you know." Rean said, "She's a woman...It's really surprising."

Indeed, in terms of accidents, Re'an might be one of the most unexpected people in ABC.After all, he and Cole—and Corona are very similar in many ways: both of them have soft voices, low volume, few edges and corners on their cheeks, and their appearance is softer.In terms of character, Kirk Carton is even more radical and stronger than Jean.As for ideology - her views on gender have always been very radical.

Now they know why she has those views.

"I really didn't expect it. Thinking about it makes me angry." Baalei shook his head, "We have a room full of people, and we have been coaxed by her for several years, but none of us have noticed anything wrong!"

"I'm not angry," Je'an said, "but I'm sad... If a person has to wear a mask in front of friends, it's too hard."

"She didn't ask for it." Ruo Li complained grumblingly, "If she had told us that she was a woman, we wouldn't have made a rule that women can't come in."

"It's like what she said—if we knew she was a woman from the beginning, we might not be friends with her," Feuilly said.

If Li shrugged, it was indeed difficult to refute.

"Well, if there is a girl like that, I'd love to be friends with her," said Bahoret, "but I don't understand it. Tell me, she knew Combeferre and Enjolras." How old was she when she was fourteen or fifteen years old? And her family is so rich, and she is not a girl from a poor family. She was forced to live no longer. How did she come here? Where did such a spoiled little girl come from? With these thoughts, dare to do anything?"

"Aren't Enjolras and Courfeyrac also rich?" said Combeferre, who was at the table next to him.

"How alike they are!" said Bahore.

The back hall of Miaoshang was not so sound-proof, and they were used to lowering their voices when they spoke, so the sound of the door opening in the back hall was not covered by the conversation.Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked up in unison.

The whole room suddenly fell silent.

The beauty of Coronne Evermond was celebrated even among the Parisian aristocrats, among the most fashionable and beautiful ladies.When she dresses up as a man, she often has to paint a dark complexion, draw thick eyebrows, use shadows to outline the unattractive outline of the face, and draw a few small moles and scars, so that the very complexion is covered to only five points .In addition, her figure is too thin for men, which is not good-looking. In the hearts of ABC friends, Cole Caton's appearance is only mediocre.Maybe you can see the delicacy of the facial features if you look closely, but what's the use of having a beautiful appearance for a man?

It's different for women.

Gender bias is bad, but sometimes it can be good.It is human nature to soften your heart when you see a beautiful woman.On this day, Coronna was still dressed as a woman, her blond hair was neatly tied into a bun, leaving a few strands of hair around her ears hanging out of her hat.She was wearing a simple black long dress, which was not embellished, and her natural beauty was enough to attract people.

Although the friends of ABC get along with Enjolras every day, they already have a certain resistance to beautiful teenagers and girls, but it is really shocking to see a familiar friend suddenly become a delicate and beautiful girl. thing.In the silence, everyone stared at her dumbfounded for a full three seconds, and then suddenly remembered the gentlemanly demeanor a man should have, and hurriedly looked away, looking up at the sky and the earth.Only Enjolras greeted her with a nonchalance: "You came early today," he said.

If the silence and the gaze made Corona a little nervous, she didn't show any uneasiness. "It seems that you are earlier than me." She said, calmly walked to the table closest to the wall, stood next to Enjolras, with her back against the wall, facing the people in the room.On one side of her was the empty chair that Combeferre had left for her, on the other sat Jehan, who moved uneasily as she approached, as if wanting to make room for her, and then restrained himself, He moved back awkwardly.This made Corona want to laugh a little.She stood by the wall and glanced at the young people in the room.

"I stand here today, and I have two things to do." She opened her mouth, "The first thing: I'm here to apologize.

"As you can see, I am a woman. But I envied that men can go out alone, can make decisions with their own ideas, and will not be judged behind their backs. For this, I learned to dress up as a man when I was young. , I learned to make up myself when I was a little older. Everyone here knows the security situation in Paris. No matter what age you are, it is safer for men to go out than women. Therefore, I used to dress up as a man when I went out, not for anything else. I met Enjolras and Combeferre by chance under such circumstances, and at first it was not a deliberate deception.

"Of course, this is not an excuse, and I don't intend to use this as an excuse for self-justification. After all, the fact is: I have never told you who I really am. From this perspective, you trust me, but I have not given back the same. Trust and honesty. For this I apologize to everyone and do not ask for forgiveness, but I must make one thing clear: In my heart, I truly consider you all as friends. I'm sorry, everyone."

"None of us are really angry," Jehan said. "Are you, everyone?"

Several high and low pings sounded in response. "Actually, I was still angry for a while." Bahore said, "But once I'm angry, I'm over. Who remembers the grudge for so long?"

Corona smiled.But the smile was very faint, and it disappeared from the corner of his lips inadvertently. "This is the first thing I did wrong." She said, "There is another thing, I was also wrong-that is, because of the fact that women were not allowed to enter the back hall of Miao Shang, I will fight with you I did not explain the reason for the quarrel well, nor did I come to the same conclusion with you. I knew that something I did not agree with happened in front of me, but I let it go because of my timidity at the time. Friends, we almost There are disagreements every day, and I have witnessed countless debates in Collins. Today, I hope to be able to seriously argue with you why this rule should not be."

Such lengthy speeches to illustrate one's point of view are common.No one objected, Enjolras raised his hand, motioning for her to start.

"I know that there are often people in the world who think that women should not do this or that. The only specialty of women is to handle housework and raise children, and that is their job. I don't need me to explain this theory to you: all present They are all familiar with Rousseau. You don’t need to tell me, I have heard it countless times among countless people.

"Therefore, before talking about this matter, we might as well start with the topics we have consensus on: such as the gap between the rich and the poor in society, such as the equal rights of the people. I know such an aristocrat who has inherited the title for generations and thinks that the lives of the poor are like ants He has his own set of theories: the gap between the nobles and the poor is obvious, as long as the two groups are compared together, it can be seen that the nobles are all well-educated and understand literature, art, politics, economics and various and the poor, who are mostly illiterate, vulgar, shallow-sighted, know little more than the work of the farms, some of whom cannot even take care of them, while the nobles can govern A country. Moreover, there are countless evidences in history to prove this point: Look at the kings and generals from ancient times to the present, how many people were originally nobles in their families, and how many people were able to achieve great achievements as farmers? Naturally, it is the former I don’t know how many times more than the latter. Let’s look at those geniuses who can leave their names in history: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Voltaire, Dante, Goethe, Mozart, Salieri, even if they were not of noble origin, they were born They belong to wealthy families, or they have close ties with the court. Doesn’t this mean that the higher the class, the more noble the character and the more outstanding the talent?

"Therefore, for the stability and health of this world, people should be allowed to function where they are most suitable for their talents-the nobles should be nobles for generations, and the poor should suffer and suffer in peace. If any poor person dares to study It must be crazy to be literate, go further, even want to make a career, want to start a business, or be an official. The poor should know their duties clearly, they are so stupid and ignorant, ask them to do something Important things will only harm others and themselves. They don’t need to study, if they study, it’s only to better serve the noble lord, and reading and literacy are meaningful.”

Halfway through her speech, there was a commotion below.Enjolras raised his hand to maintain order and told her to continue talking.Right now, several people have frowned undisguisedly.Corona looked around at them and smiled suddenly.

"I can probably guess a thing or two about what you want to refute. You want to say that this gap is not formed congenitally, but brought about by acquired injustice-the poor appear more stupid and shallow, just because they There are not enough conditions to read and write; there are few geniuses among the poor, just because they have no chance to receive proper education and access to many things in this world, their talents are just suppressed; the poor are thin and weak, Because of the lack of necessary nutrition. The unfair treatment of society is by no means evidence that they are inherently deficient.

"But, gentlemen, I'm here to ask you a question: If I replace all the 'nobility' in this disgusting statement with 'men', and 'poor' with 'women', how can you Turn a blind eye to it, but clap your hands?"

The author has something to say: Once again—emphasize once again that the concept of a role is determined by the times, and Coronna's ideas are different under the background of the times at that time.

Moreover, everyone in ABC is still very young, and people's concepts, cognition and thoughts will gradually change with experience, and it is normal to have different thoughts for a while.

All the blame is not theirs, please feel free to put everything on the author's head! ! ! (Speaking of lifting the lid of the pot
