As for the people of Paris, even when they are adults, they are still wild children; to describe the child is to describe the city, and it is for this reason that we use the innocent sparrow to study the eagle. It is in the suburbs that the species of Paris emerge, which must be emphasized.Those in those places are the purebreds, and those in those places are the real faces. People work and endure hardships in those places, and suffering and labor are two aspects of life.There are countless living beings in those places, and people don't know about them. People of various images are gathering among them, from the stevedores along the Labai River to the butchers on Falcon Mountain. "The scum of the city," cried Cicero; "the rabble," added the sharp-tongued Burke; untouchable, lowly, lowly, these words are easy to say, let them be.What does that matter?What does it matter to me that they go barefoot?They are illiterate and deserve it.Are you going to give them up for that?Will you curse them by their misery?Can't the light shine through the crowd?Let us cry again: "Light! We insist on light! Light! Light!" Who knows that the darkness will not be brightened one day?Isn't a revolution an act of changing face?Work hard, philosophers, to teach, to shine, to burn, to think far, to speak loudly, to run joyously to the great sun, to befriend the multitude, to spread the good news, With a scorching tongue, declare human rights, sing "Marseillaise", spread enthusiasm, and pick green branches of ancient cypresses.Think of that whirlwind that soars upwards.The crowd will be cheered up.We should be good at using the raging fire of doctrine and virtue that crackles and trembles at certain moments.Those bare feet, bare arms, tattered clothes, and ignorant, mean, and dark states can be used to achieve ideals.When you look deeply into the people, you will find the truth.Grit is of little value to be trodden on, and if you put it in a furnace, let it melt, let it boil, it becomes the brilliant crystal by which Galileo and Newton discovered the planets.
