Just as Paris in the 1920s gathered literary and artistic youths from all over, Paris today is also the Paris of foreigners.
When I was in Sorbonne, I met a Taiwanese girl who was in her early 30s and signed a "life and death certificate" with her father: If she did not get accepted by the eight major photography departments, she had to go back to work and get married. As a result, the day was not fulfilled, and finally it was the day when the people were packed and left. She left a photo for every friend she met in Paris. She said, sincerely thank those people I met during the time and period in Paris. As Hemingway said, Paris is a mobile feast, and I hope we will enjoy it. . I was just moved by the sheer perseverance of this girl, and I didn't think Paris was so wonderful. Today, when it is my turn to pack my bags, I realize that this reluctance is not only a city and an ideal. However, you need to know that it takes courage and luck to stay in Paris.
There is also a Venezuelan girl who has been out of touch for a long time. The reason is that I am afraid of her constant complaints. Complaining about language barriers and discrimination against foreigners, lonely life and all kinds of anxious peach blossoms. The irony is that she resolutely decided to stay in Paris, not because she loves the city so much, but because her country makes her even more disappointed. But she said that she had strolled through Paris at midnight and walked along the Seine all the way to dawn with a nice young man.
A few days ago, a sister whom I could talk with very well called me and said: Tell you the unfortunate news that I have been living for ten years. She came to live in Paris with her French husband, and the real life made this woman who had been wild and unbelievably nostalgic for her superior and stable days in China. The courage to settle in a foreign country for the sake of the children gradually lost. Just as I was planning to return to the country and re-plan my life, I got such news. (You must stay in France for a long time after getting the ten-year residence permit, otherwise it will be difficult to get a short visa.) Although she often complains about her husband's inability to work hard, she also knows that it was her husband's romantic temperament that was indifferent to fame and fortune at the time that she especially admired. Now in a dilemma, she looked more painful than the two friends who had no choice.
There is also a French classmate from a province who hates the indifference of the Parisians, but he is as good as a girlfriend with everyone around him. His wish is to go to New York, which he thinks is even more exciting.
Paris comes and goes, but any foreigner who has lived or is living in Paris will be excited about the Paris shown by Woody Allen, because the streets and names that are familiar to forgotten are mentioned again, Paris The most beautiful and crazy era reappeared. It feels like opening an old photo album, you suddenly see yourself that was once full of hope, giving you the courage to conquer the world when you were twenty. Indeed, in Paris, there are some places that will make you temporarily forget time and space and become intoxicated.
Like the male protagonist, I am also a lover of second-hand thrift stores. My friend asked me how to wear the old clothes I bought on the streets of China. I only secretly hope that I can maintain such courage, no matter where I am.
