The most easily overlooked corners, have the most poignant empathy

Compared to the crown of this large pieces of jewelry elegance peerless, these two exhibits are not surprising, quietly lying in the exhibition hall a humble corner, but they are behind some of the story is regrettable. The ring on the left is Napoleon's illegitimate child sent to the love of the faith, and the right side of this element is the last generation of Qing Emperor Pu Yi gave "Queen" Wan Rong's engagement ring. Although the appearance of these two rings are very different, but the inner ring are engraved with the man's confession of the woman's speech.
The two rings separated by a hundred years, across the West, but has a subtle similar. The illegitimate child, the deposed emperor Ye Hao, no matter how embarrassing people who send the ring in the embarrassing situation, whether they are on the ring of the girls there is true, we can in this most easily overlooked corner, to find some kind of resonance of human nature.
