Dare to bring your beloved one to the celebrity cemetery for a date?
During late autumn and early winter, I went to the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
In order to search for the graves of celebrities -
Leaves falling, flowers not yet in bloom, a hint of warmth in the desolation passing by.
In the vast cemetery, I encountered couples taking a walk, young girls walking alone, elderly people, and even fan clubs from all over the world...

This is a garden for everyone, where the brilliance of the living and the tranquility of the dead coexist warmly. People believe that the soul does not die after death, and that death means the beginning of life in another world, waiting for resurrection.
All glory, wealth, high official position and generous salary, plain life, no matter how many eras have passed, have stopped in this simple autumn.

As early as the 12th century, the land occupied by the cemetery of Father Lachaise was the property of the Bishop of Paris, where vegetables, grains, and grapes were grown all year round.
Later, the land was acquired by Father La Chaise, who was favored by the French king Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King", and people began to call this land by his name.
About the history here 🙏🙏🙏
——
In 1804, the city of Paris bought this place and converted it into a cemetery.
For many centuries, Paris has always maintained the attitude of "tolerance is great". It can make foreigners like to stay here before and after their death.
Talented but unrecognized artists, retired Hollywood stars, politicians ousted in coups... all think of Paris.
And the cemetery of Father Lachaise,
It is the famous Paris cemetery that celebrities compete to love.
Here lie the likes of British writer Oscar Wilde, Italian composer Rossini, Polish pianist Chopin, American dancer Isadora Duncan, American modernist writer Gertrude Stein, composer of "Carmen" Bizet, and many others.

We, the ordinary descendants, standing in front of the graves of these celebrities who we have only seen in books and old movies, have a very sacred feeling.
The barrier between yin and yang is like a dream, and you sit in front of those blooming flower inscriptions, having as many conversations and prayers as you want, leaving plenty of time for you and the people of that world, from dawn to dusk, in another way, fulfilling a deep worship of soul to soul, and completing a grand tribute to life.
