The beauty of this woman has a taste of "clear spring stone upper class".

When I was in my teens, I saw that beautiful and moving face on a Universal Screen, and I was deeply fascinated at once. Look closely, this is An imperfect face, the eyes are too wide, the eyebrows are slightly drooping, and the jaw is too pointed. Those eyes are innocent, stubborn, and there is a trace of confusion that seems to be perpetually incomprehensible to the world, but the lips are like a newly opened begonia. Petals, with sunshine.

Isabel. Adjani.---Camille Claude.---Rodin's lover.

I watched this film for the first time on a rainy evening in 2000. Actually, it was Three poorly made pirated discs. Actually, they belonged to a girl who had a blood disease and was going through endless treatments. That summer was very depressing because I had never had such an experience before--- Witnessing a person I once knew was struggling with death. When this tall girl exchanged novels with me in math class, and now she has become extremely pale and emaciated due to chemotherapy, she has received permission from the treatment to return to life. On weekends at home, I sometimes go to see her and bring some novels or CDs for her to pass the time. When I saw this set of discs at her house, she smiled and told me that these discs were from the roadside The ones I took out were surprisingly cheap, like this one, for only 3 bucks. I took it home happily, and when I went out, the rain had just stopped.

On this day in 2002, I was on a boulevard in Philadelphia The Rodin Museum was discovered. From 1923, the Philadelphia theater tycoon Jules E. Mastbaum began to collect Rodin's works living outside Paris, and began to plan the establishment of a Rodin Museum for the citizens of Philadelphia. It is a pity that this man passed away without seeing the museum being built. The museum opened in 1928. Hidden in the shade of thick trees, this small museum with a hollowed-out door blocks the outside noise, but it has the largest and most valuable collection of Rodin works outside Paris, including the "Danaid" is based on Rodin's lover Camille Claude. The museum was designed by two French architects in a subtle and restrained style. It has a small courtyard and green trees surround a small pool. One day, the white-bearded old gentleman brought a book and mineral water and sat in the yard to watch quietly for an afternoon.

When I got home in the evening, I dug out these three pirated discs that did not belong to me, but was brought by me inadvertently, and re-read it with a pot of green tea that had been brewed for too long and was bitter and astringent

. Sifu. This woman is still so beautiful beyond time. The face and figure without carving, the enthusiasm in work, the sound of peeling off when the talent is burning in the air, and the persistence to the end, to the madness, The stubborn look in his eyes until death. Of course, there is also love, the truly deadly love between the master Rodin. The

girl Camille holds the work of the first trial cry---a white foot, eager to get Rodin The signature above. After her disappointment, she cried bitterly to her younger brother. She didn't know it at the time. Meeting Rodin and being appreciated by Rodin was really the unfortunate beginning of her life. Later, on the way with Rodin, she cried and stayed with her for a long time. Rodin finally Signed on that foot, Camille, who was ecstatic, made a special trip to her brother's school to report the good news. His brother's classmates sighed: Her eyes are so blue... And that day was also the death of French national treasure Victor Hugo. Days. Their love began then, and ended after Camille in desperation threw that extraordinary foot into the river. In the middle, a confrontation between two geniuses, the obsession of his old love , the child they lost, the endless suppression of her by the shadow of his master----even today, the Chinese translation of the film is also the widely spread name, and it is called "Rodin's Lover", not the original film. Her own capitalized name---"Camille Claude".

There is a koan between Camille and Rodin in the history of art, who copied who was once a topic of interest to critics. I doubt that if they had never met, there would be one more artist who is as famous as Rodin, and one less tragic woman who died silently because of a mental patient who was imprisoned for more than 30 years. When a woman falls in love with a man, , seems to be destined to devote greater enthusiasm, she always thought more or less that her connection with the world would be established through this man. However, her man could easily see through the world, and he would not be obsessed with it. Chaos in love, let alone dying in love.

So many years have passed. People continue to worship Rodin and cherish Rodin. I don't know how many people will remember her - Camille Claude.

In the Rodin Museum In front of the statue that is no longer white, there is infinite melancholy.
