Shakespeare said:
tragic
It's about putting something beautiful.
Destruction is for people to see.
November 13, 2015,
It was such a tragic day.
From 21:30 on November 13, a series of explosions, from the north of the city to the city center, turned romantic Paris into a hell on earth. This is the worst blow that all of Europe has suffered since World War II.
This one once housed:
Zola, Hugo, Balzac, Sartre and beauvoir, Van Gogh and Picasso,
It's a city of love: music, art, champagne, kissing,
When it is forced to close the upper gate,
It is not only the sorrow of the French,
This is even more tragic for human civilization.

Regardless of creed or ethnicity, "if you need a safe place, any Sikh temple is willing to provide shelter", the Indian Sikh tweet was instantly forwarded by tens of thousands:

There are also many people who reach out to the Next French who can't return home due to air traffic control, "If you're a Frenchman who can't return home in San Francisco, come to my house!" ：
"#PorteOuverte proves that terrorists cannot win, and even if there are demons everywhere, people will open their homes to strangers." The Tweet reads:
