    One of the Demonic Rebels: The Floating Pot Space©¤Simon de Beauvoir

    Simone de Beauvoir (1908©¤1986), also translated as Simone Beauvoir, is a French existentialist writer, one of the important theorists and founders of the feminist movement in the 1970s, and the companion of existentialist master Saud.  Their philosophical thoughts are very similar but each has its own merits.

    Simone de Beauvoir 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.

    Simone de Beauvoir was born in a wealthy apartment on Avenue Raspailles in Paris.  When she was five years old, Simone de Beauvoir was sent to a school that only provided education for girls born into good families.

    Simon de Beauvoir¡¯s sister, Irina (known as Doll), entered this school with her sister two years later.  From an early age, Simone de Beauvoir stood out with her superior intelligence, and every year she and another female student, Elisabeth LaCohen (referred to as Zaza in Simone de Beauvoir's autobiography), tied for first place in studies.

    Zaza quickly became her best friend, although Simone de Beauvoir suffered in silence as she felt she had to pay more for the friendship.

    After the First World War, Simone de Beauvoir's grandfather went bankrupt and the bank collapsed. This also disgraced the reputation of the Simone de Beauva family and resulted in the loss of all their property.

    Simonpova¡¯s parents had to move out of their decent apartment on the Boulevard Raspailles and move into a dark, small, fifth-floor apartment on the Rue de Rennes without an elevator.

    His father originally hoped to live a superior life relying on his mother's rich family background, but in the end this hope came to nothing.  For this reason, Simone de Beauvoir's mother has been burdened with guilt for her husband throughout her life.  Simone de Beauvoir also suffered from this, and watched the relationship between her parents deteriorate.

    Her entire childhood was a constant reminder of the fact that she was a woman: Simone de Beauvoir's father's original hope was to have a son and train him to be a comprehensive science and engineering student.

    Not only that, her father always said to Simone de Beauvoir: You have a man¡¯s brain.

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

    In his opinion, the most beautiful profession in the world is to be a writer.  Like his wife, he believed that only studying could save his daughter from the difficulties in life.

    As a young woman, Simone de Beauvoir spent her summer vacations in Saint-Ibach, a commune in the Cr¨¨ze region in the Limousin region of France, staying at the Mesignac Park, which her grandfather built around 1880.  .

    The land was purchased by her great-grandfather in the early 19th century.  In Simone de Beauvoir's "Memoirs of a Good Girl", she endlessly recalled this happy time spent with her sister Irina:

    ¡°My love for the countryside has a mysterious color.

    From the moment I set foot on the land of Mesignac, my inner walls no longer existed, and my vision broadened and expanded.  I fell into the infinite world.  There is only myself in this world.

    I feel the sun warm my eyes, its brightness illuminates everything, and at this moment, I am the only one enjoying its caress.

    The wind swirls around the poplar trees: it comes from elsewhere and disturbs the world.  So I spun around and around until the end of the world.

    When the moon climbs into the sky, I am connected to the distant city-states, deserts, oceans, and villages. At this moment, we are immersed in the moonlight together.

    My consciousness is no longer empty, my eyes are no longer stagnant, and I can smell the strong smell of buckwheat.  The quiet fragrance of heather, the warmth at noon or the coolness of dusk; I feel the heavy 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." (Excerpted from  "Memoirs of a Good Girl" by Simone de Beauvoir).

    It is in contact with nature.  During a lonely walk in the countryside, the desire to escape from mediocrity penetrated deeply into Simone de Beauvoir's spiritual world.

    At the age of fifteen, Simone de Beauvoir had secretly determined to become a famous writer.

    ? 1925, after the high school entrance examination.  Simone de Beauvoir began her university studies studying mathematics at the Catholic University of Paris in France.  Studied at the College Saint-Marie in Neuilly (a suburb of Paris, France).

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

    In the spring of 1928, after receiving a certificate in ethical psychology, Simone de Beauvoir finally received a bachelor's degree in philosophy. At the same time, she began to write a graduation thesis about the German philosopher Leibniz.

      In the college of the University of Paris, she met many aspiring young scholars, including Jean-Paul Sartre. From the moment she met Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir felt that he was a genius.

    Since then, a mysterious emotion has been intertwined between the two people until they were buried in the ground.  Sartre told Simone de Beauvoir that she was his necessary love, and he also needed other accidental loves to help them understand each other better.

    In 1929, Simone Bova ranked second in the high school teacher recruitment examination, second only to Sartre.

    In the same year, Simone de Beauvoir was deeply affected by the death of her childhood friend Zaza.  Simone de Beauvoir's mother was a devout believer, and according to Simone de Beauvoir's autobiography, she lost her faith as early as the age of fourteen, long before the philosophy high school teacher recruitment exam, and even before she left  Before she was sent to school at the age of 5, this also showed her strong determination to get rid of the shackles of her family.

    After the high school teacher recruitment examination in 1929, Simone de Beauvoir (or French for beaver), Ren¨¦ Maher (Simonde and Sartre's philosophy teacher) gave Simone de Beauvoir a nickname, which was later used by Sartre.  .

    Because the French pronunciation of Simone de Beauvaa¡¯s name is close to the English pronunciation of beaver (the corresponding French word is r), and in fact, Simone de Beauvaa has the same spirit as a beaver¡ªthe spirit of building with her peers¡ªand became a  Philosophy teacher.

    She moved to Marseille.  Later, because she wanted to leave Sartre, she moved to Le Havre in March 1931, which she also suffered from.

    Although Sartre proposed marriage to her, and although Simone de Beauvoir loved Sartre deeply, she refused: in "The Power of Time" (Volume 2 of Simone Beauvoir's autobiography "Memoirs of a Good Girl")  That's what he said. Never for a moment did I want to accept his offer.

    Marriage makes two people subject to more family constraints and social labor.  On the contrary, the search for my own independence is far less troublesome; for me, it is so artificial to find freedom in the void, because this freedom only exists in my mind and heart.

    A year later, she was able to get close to Sartre again because of a job opportunity in Rennes, where she met Colette Audry, who also taught at a high school.

    During this period, Simonbeova became very close to some students, especially Olga and Birga, and even developed a romantic relationship. In the love contract with Sartre, she also agreed to have casual love.

    She also had a relationship with one of Sartre¡¯s male students, little Bost, who later became Olga¡¯s husband, and Sartre also fell in love with Olga at that time (not mutually agreeable).

    Beauvoir and this group of friends are called a small family. Their love is as strong as gold and will last until death. Although there are always conflicts or contradictions of one kind or another that lead to small disharmony.
