The dream of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, back to the era of Princess Sissi.

Nowadays, many people go to the area near Yuyuantan to pick autumn leaves, but I went there today because the China Millennium Monument held an exhibition on Princess Sissi. I think I came to this exhibition because of fate - during the Spring Festival when I was 12 years old, I went to Europe with my school to perform cross-country, and I went to Vienna, Austria. The first time I went abroad, the first country I arrived in. In addition to rehearsing and performing in the Musikverein, we also visited the city and surrounding areas frequently in the past month. There are many Schönbrunn Palace and museums about the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Princess Sissi. But this time I learned that it would be launched in mid-November, and a sense of "personal nostalgia" ignited. This exhibition is located on the second floor of the Millennium Monument. Before the event, everyone gathered together and some children played orchestral music for everyone in the hall. It was very cute to see how young and focused they were. Their orderly performance must be inseparable from diligent practice. This also reminded me of the rehearsal scene on the Golden Hall stage 20 years ago. Time flies. This themed exhibition is a collaboration between China and Hungary’s official institutions such as the Gödlö Palace and the Hungarian National Museum. The exhibition is very carefully arranged. Unlike many commercial art exhibitions/galleries, this exhibition is also more down-to-earth. Many of Princess Sissi's personal belongings are displayed, interspersed with some precious works of art. Let everyone jump out of those old movies and get a closer look at the daily life scenes of Princess Sissi's era in reality. This exhibition has a clear context, and the long time line in the center allows everyone to restore the life history of Princess Sissi and Franz according to the time, as well as the relationship between the art giants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the royal family at that time, such as Liszt, Pei Doffy, Strauss the Younger, etc. The marriage of two major families is also the combination of two art collecting families, making the development of culture and art more colorful. In the movie, Princess Sissi, played by Romy, is cute and playful, interpreting the story of the princess and the prince falling in love at first sight and living a happy life. The reality is that she went from being unrestrained at the beginning to becoming a queen, adapting to the red tape of the royal family, suffering from depression, contradicting love and freedom in her life, losing her beloved son, and being assassinated... Although the legend , but it can’t be called happiness... But I think whether we get to know her through the screen, exhibitions, or books, we hope in our hearts that she will always be the beautiful princess who loves horseback riding, has a brisk pace, and has an innocent personality.
