The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 495 Time Story
Involuntarily, Anson thought of Louis XVI——

Louis XVI, the last king of France before the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, directly led to the outbreak of the French Revolution. He was not only the only king to be executed in French history, but also the second person to be executed in European history after Charles I of England. king.

Looking through the annals of history, keywords such as "cowardice", "luxury" and "corruption" have become the footnotes of Louis XVI's life and an important turning point in the transition from feudal society to modern society. He is a symbol, a label and a piece of history. But never a real person.

While Louis XIV left France in financial disarray and general decline, Louis XV took extravagance to a new extreme. The latter spent a great deal of energy on the pursuit of women, and his many mistresses and Love affairs are recorded in the annals of history, foreshadowing the chaos of prosperity and decline.

In the end, Louis XVI was left with a country that was riddled with holes and was struggling to survive, and the French Revolution had begun to sprout.

Think about Brad, think about Lily, Connor and Miles. They are always chasing their dreams. They are always trying to hold on to some splendor in life, but they fail again and again and hit the wall again and again. He started to doubt himself and grabbed every life-saving straw in a panic, but in the end he still became an existence that was rejected, forgotten and abandoned.

And what about Louis XVI?

Louis XVI is the leader of a country. Obviously, his life cannot be compared with Brad, who is struggling like an ant, nor with Lily, who is struggling on the edge of reality. But Louis XVI In fact, Liu's life has never been under his control. The harder he tries to tighten his hands, the harder it is to grasp those grains of sand.

The supreme glory of the king of a country is in sharp contrast with the loneliness behind him. Louis XVI just wanted to be a locksmith, but the heavy responsibility of the country's rise and fall rested on his shoulders, leaving him unable to do whatever he wanted.

At this point, Louis XVI is the same as Brad and Lily. They are all trapped in their own cages, constantly struggling, but never breaking the shackles.

When the national power was on the verge of collapse, Louis XVI once struggled hard and tried to save the country. He did not want to end up like his grandfather Louis XV, who was called the "foolish king". But unfortunately, he failed because Becoming a king was never what he wanted.

When the French Revolution overthrew the Bourbon dynasty, Louis XVI became a prisoner.

"Who-Would-Ever-Want-To-Be-King?"

At least Louis XVI didn't want to, because he had never been familiar with politics.

Louis XVI did commit mistakes against the country and the people, but this is the wheel of a dynasty, and it is not just Louis XVI's fault.

In the end, Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette were sentenced to death for the crime of counter-revolution and conspiracy to restore the country.

Cowardice and timidity have always been a label that Louis XVI could not tear off, but he never imagined that before his execution, the king who dreamed of becoming a locksmith showed his courage, walked to the guillotine calmly and fearlessly, and accepted himself calmly fate.

Before his execution, he shouted to the onlookers:
"I die innocent. I forgive my enemies and may my blood appease the wrath of God."

In fact, what was wrong with Louis XVI? He never wanted to be emperor, he just wanted to indulge in the world of locks, but he was not allowed.

At this point, Brad and Lily are luckier than Louis XVI. At least they are still engaged in the career of their dreams.

History is like a poem, pale, dark and colorful, with all kinds of helplessness and inevitability.

Be it Brad or Lily, in a sense, they are the same kind of people as Louis XVI:

Chasing dreams tirelessly, only to be torn to pieces in the real world. After stumbling and running all the way, he ends up with a broken head, blood and bruises all over his body. The cruel real world makes the wings of dreams continue to wither, until all the hearts and ambitions are high and arrogant. All innocence has been smoothed away——

Either cynical, depressed, or calmly accepting fate. And it's not just them?
Anson himself is not like this.

In his previous life, after what happened, he didn't dare to dream, because even secretly imagining it in a dream was a luxury, lest that little ray of hope might become the last straw that accelerated his own destruction.

When I dreamed back at midnight, I was in the boundless darkness with nothing but confusion before my eyes. I looked up at the stars in the night sky quietly, but I didn't dare to reach out.

but.

When given a second chance, he refused to make the same mistakes.

He will continue to run, he will continue to fight, he will burn his life and enjoy every minute to the fullest, refusing to stop even if the cost is to be wiped out in ashes.

Passion and blood, surging and turbulent, just flowed down the fingertips, and a magnificent picture slowly unfolded in front of the eyes. Various bright colors collided together, blooming into a dazzling splendor.

Ding.

The sound of the collision of keys jumped on the eardrums. It was still too weak to rely on the piano alone. All the eighteen weapons in my mind were put into battle——

Maybe, they do need a symphony orchestra.

There is no doubt that the thickness and vastness of the cello can completely release the emotional energy hidden in the melody. What if violins, trombones and other instruments are added to the music? If the drum beats are added as bells, can it create a tragic and heroic scene of thousands of horses galloping and torrents rolling?

Indeed, standing at the crossroads between reality and dreams, everyone needs to make a choice, and every choice has a price.

Indeed, the human heart is always the most elusive, and even you cannot control it. This is also the weakness of human nature.

but.

He will not stop, he refuses to stop. Life is too beautiful and gorgeous, and he should not hold back because of the cruelty and bloody reality. There is still a bright future waiting for his exploration and adventure.

Inspiration is like a fountain, comparable to fireworks. Emotions evolve into notes, and fluctuations evolve into passion. The joy and trembling climb from the soles of the feet to the scalp, and the whole body becomes uncontrollably numb.

The collision between fingertips and keys bursts out with incredible passion. This is the most beautiful and moving part of music.

The musical notes pass through the door panels, break the constraints, and surge throughout the building. The Spanish-style retro decoration drags the thoughts into the turbulence of time in a second. If you don't pay attention, you will already fall into it, and your ears will pull your thoughts and drift away.

Lily's eyes flashed, and her thoughts were interrupted. It took her a moment to notice Miles's back as he strode forward. She tried to call Miles. After all, they could still discuss an issue, but her voice was stuck. In his throat, his thoughts were firmly grasped by the notes, and his mind began to sway involuntarily.

When she reacted, Lily was already standing at the door of the utility room with Connor and Miles, staring at the scene in front of her in stunned silence.
