Somewhere in the world, there is a wonder of the world. This miracle is called the Old Summer Palace. There are two ** in art, one is the ideal, the ideal produces European art; The first is fantasy, which gives rise to oriental art.
The Old Summer Palace is in fantasy art what the Parthenon is in ideal art. - Hugo.
The French Empire, having received half of the loot from this victory, was now naïve enough to display the splendid plunder of the Round Garden as if it were the real owner. I aspire to the day when France will be able to shake off its burdens, cleanse its culpability, and return this wealth to China, which has been plundered. - Hugo.
In 1861, in a letter to his friend, Captain Barrett, who had participated in the Second Opium War, the French writer Victor Hugo, severely reprimanded the crimes committed by the British and French forces in the Old Summer Palace, expressing the venerable sense of justice and openness of this literary giant. The letter reads:
One day, two robbers broke into the summer palace, one robbed it, and the other burned it. It turns out that victory is a plunder. The victors stole all the wealth of the summer palace and then divided the spoils among themselves.
All these things are done in the name of Elgin. This reminds one of the Parthenon.
They had brought the Parthenon to the summer palace, but this time they did it more simply and thoroughly, sweeping it away, leaving nothing behind. Even if all the treasures of all the churches in our country are taken together, they cannot be compared with this grand and magnificent Oriental Museum.
The Oriental Museum houses not only outstanding works of art, but also a wide range of gold and silver products. That's a great deal of work and a lot of extra money! One of the victors had one bag full of pockets, and the other one filled several chests.
After that, they held hands and returned to Europe. This is the experience of these two robbers.
Let me prove for the time being that these two marauders were responsible for this robbery. Your Excellency, you now know that I have a full understanding of the matter of this military expedition to China.
The two robbers who will be punished by history, one is called France, and the other is called England. It represents the voice of millions of honest people.
While the Old Summer Palace was still burning, Prince Gong Yixin, who was ordered to stay in Beijing, promised all the conditions of the invaders. Soon after, the text of the Treaty of Tientsin was exchanged with Britain, France, and Russia, and the Treaty of Beijing was signed.

1. Struggle is sweet. —Hugo 2, Man has two ways of life: whether it conforms to society or conforms to nature.
—Hugo 3, Progress is a way of life. —Hugo 4, Whoever wastes his time, youth will fade, and life will abandon them. —Hugo 5, the ideal is nothing more than the highest peak of logic, and the same beauty is the top of the truth.
The nation of art is at the same time a nation of thoroughness. To love beauty is to ask for light. —Hugo 6, progress is the goal; Ideal is the standard.
—Hugo 7, Man can survive only with material; Only when people have ideals can they talk about life. Do you want to understand the difference between survival and life? Animals live, while humans live.
—Hugo 8, life is like traveling, the ideal is the route of travel, and if you lose the route, you have to stop moving forward. - Hugo.
