Disciples

Chapter 63

Original
Those who walk high are called self-high;
People are more important than appearance.

Translation
If a person's moral character is noble, his reputation will naturally increase; people are respected mainly because of their noble qualities, not because of their good looks.

allusion
The famous French writer Victor Hugo wrote a main character in his literary masterpiece "Notre Dame de Paris", Quasimodo, the old bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, who is ugly in appearance but kind in heart.

Quasimodo is a very ugly bell ringer.He has been bullied, but he is loyal, honest, pure and noble.At the risk of his life, he snatched the kind and beautiful Esmeralda from the gallows, and placed her in Notre Dame for refuge by using Catholic regulations.He fought bravely against the beggar gang who wanted to take back Esmeralda, and angrily pushed Claude, the executioner who killed Esmeralda, from the top of the bell tower of Notre Dame.Quasimodo rang for Esmeralda all the bells in the opposite courtyard of Paris.The sound of the bell is the resonance of his heart, the victory of beauty over ugliness.Quasimodo's deeds have shocked the hearts of thousands of readers over the past century, praising Quasimodo as the real beauty.
