“我们了解法国吗?或者说,我们对法国了解多少?法国人,究竟怎样对中国?”本刊上期的《封面话题》,我们对法国的挖掘只是冰山一角。确实,法国的历史文化底蕴太厚重,可以说,世界的历史长卷无法缺少法兰西的篇章。正因为如此,从法国的历史深处探究现今法国人看中国的复杂心态,总能让人有所思考。法国是启蒙思想和《人权宣言》的故乡。200多年来,《人权宣言》所倡导的自由、平等和反抗压迫的理念已融入法国社会生活的方方面面。今天的法国人在看待中国问题时, “How do we know about France? Or how much do we know about France? How do French people think about China?” In the current issue of the cover story, our mining of France is just the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, France’s historical and cultural heritage is too thick, it can be said that the history of the world can not miss the French chapter. Because of this, it is always possible to think deeply about the complicated mentality of the present French people looking at China from the depths of French history. France is the hometown of Enlightenment and Declaration of Human Rights. For more than 200 years, the concept of liberty, equality and resistance against oppression advocated in the Declaration of Human Rights has been integrated into all aspects of French social life. Today’s French people are looking at the issue of China.
