One of the Demon Rebels, the floating pot space - Simonpova

Simone, de Beauvoir (1908-1986), also translated as Simon and Beauvoir, was a French existentialist writer, one of the important theorists and founders of the feminist movement in the 1970s, and the companion of the existentialist master Saud.

Simonpova was born in Paris. Her father had a brief career as a lawyer and amateur comedian. Her mother came from a middle-class family in Verdun.

Simonpova was born into a wealthy apartment located on Boulevard Las Paille in Paris. At the age of five, Simonpova was sent to a school that provided education for girls born into good families.

Simonpova's younger sister, Elena (known as "The Doll"), entered the school with her sister two years later. From an early age, Simonpova stood out for her superior intellect, and every year she tied for first place in her studies with another female student, Elisabeth Lacohan (known as "Zaza" in Simonpova's autobiography).

Zaza soon became her best friend, though Simonpova suffered in silence because she felt that she had given more in this friendship.

After the First World War, Simonpova's maternal grandfather collapsed the bank due to bankruptcy, which also discredited the Simonpova family and lost their property.

As a result, Simonpova's parents had to move out of their decent apartment on Rusbayle Avenue and into the fifth floor of a dark, cramped apartment with no elevator on Rennes Street.

His father's original hope of living a privileged life with his mother's rich family was ultimately in vain. For this. Simonpova's mother was burdened with guilt for her husband all her life. Simonpova was also guilty of this, witnessing the deterioration of the relationship between her parents.

Throughout her childhood, she was reminded of the fact that she was a woman: Simonpova's father had hoped to have a son and raise him to be a comprehensive science and engineering student.

Not only that, but her father always said to Simonpova, "You have a man's brain. 」

Her father had always been fascinated by drama (he had taken drama classes), and he passed on this hobby, including his love of literature, to his wife and children.

In his opinion, there is no more beautiful profession in the world than being a writer. Like his wife, he believes that only study can free his daughter from the predicament of life.

As a young woman, Simonpova spent her summers in Saint-Ibach (a municipality in the Chrez department of Limousin in France) in the Mesiniac Park, which her grandfather built around 1880.

The land was previously purchased by her great-grandfather in the early 19th century. In Simonpova's "Memoirs of a Good Girl". She reminisced endlessly about the happy time she spent with her sister Elena:

"My love for the countryside has a mysterious.

From the moment I set foot on the land of Messiniak. The walls of my heart no longer exist, and my vision is wide and expanding. I fell into the infinite realm of the world, and this world was only me.

I felt the sun warm my eyes, its splendor illuminating everything. And at this moment. I was the only one who enjoyed its caressing.

The wind swirls around the poplars: it comes from elsewhere. Stir up the heavens and the earth, so I whirl and spin and keep turning. Until the end of the world.

When the moon climbed into the sky, I was connected with the city-states, the deserts, the seas, and the villages in the distance, and now we were immersed in this moonlight together.

My consciousness is no longer empty, my eyes are no longer stagnant, I smell the strong smell of wheat, the quiet fragrance of heather, the warmth of noon or the slight coolness of twilight, I feel the weight of life, but at the same time it evaporates into the sky, and I am no longer limited by the limitations of my body" (from Simonpova's Memoirs of a Good Girl).

It is in contact with nature, in a lonely stroll in the countryside, that the desire to escape from the banal penetrates into the spiritual realm of Simonpova.

At the age of fifteen, Simonpova was secretly determined to become a well-known writer.

In 1925, after the secondary school examinations, Simonpova began her university studies, studying mathematics at the Catholic University of Paris, France, and liberal arts at the Institut Sainte-Marie in Neuilly (a suburb of Paris, France).

In her first year, she received a series of certificates from the University of Paris, covering mathematics, literature and Latin. The following year, she began studying philosophy, and in June 1927 she received a certificate in philosophy.

In the spring of 1928, after obtaining a certificate in ethical psychology, Simonpova finally received a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy, and at the same time she began to write a dissertation on the German philosopher Leibniz.

At the Faculty of Arts at the University of Paris, she met many aspiring young scholars, including Jean Paul Sartre, whom Simonpova considered a genius from the moment she met him.

Since then, a mysterious relationship has been intertwined between the two until they are buried in the ground. Sartre tells Simonbeova that she is his "necessary love" and that he needs other "accidental loves" to help each other get to know each other better.

In 1929, Simonpova came second in the high school teacher recruitment exam, behind Sartre.

In the same year, the death of her childhood friend Zaza devastated Simonpova. According to Simonpova's autobiography, she lost her faith at the age of fourteen, long before the Philosophy High School Teacher Recruitment Examination, and even before she left the school she was sent to at the age of five, which is a sign of her strong determination to break free from the constraints of her family.

After the 1929 high school teacher recruitment examination, Simonpova – or Castor (French "beaver") and Renémae (Simonpova and Sartre's philosophy teacher) gave Simonpova the nickname, which was later used by Sartre.

Because the French pronunciation of Simonpova's name is close to the English pronunciation of beaver (the corresponding French word is "Castor"), in fact, Simonpova has the spirit of a beaver – the spirit of building with her peers – and became a philosophy teacher.

She moved to Marseille. Later, because she was leaving Sartre, she moved to Le Havre in March 1931, where she was also in great pain.

Although Sartre offered her an offer of marriage, and despite the fact that Simonpova loved Sartre dearly, she refused: she said in The Power of Time (Simonpova's autobiography, Memoirs of a Good Girl, vol. 2), "I never wanted to accept his offer for a moment.

Marriage subjects two people to more family bondage as well as social servitude. On the contrary, the search for my own independence is far less troubled, and it is so contrived for me to find freedom in the hollow, because this freedom exists only in my mind and heart. 」

A year later, she was able to get close to Sartre again thanks to a job in Wren, where she met Colette Audrey, who also taught at a high school.

During this period, Simonpova became very close to some of the students, especially Olga and Bilga, and even developed a romantic relationship, and in the "Love Contract" agreed with Sartre, she was also allowed to contact casual love.

She is also associated with one of Sartre's male students, "Little Bost", who later becomes Olga's husband, and Sartre also admires Olga at that time (not in love).

Beauvoir and this group of friends are called "little family", and their love between them is stronger than gold, until death, although there are always conflicts or contradictions of one kind or another that lead to small disharmony. (To be continued......)
