Fabres is a famous French scientist and popular science writer. He was poor all his life, but he was still diligent in self-study, persisted in experiments and achieved results. He insisted on exploring the truth, and when he wrote about insects, he only recorded the facts. He regards revealing and grasping the great cause of "truth-truth" as the highest ideal of his life and has made his own unique contribution to mankind.
Extended data:
Fabres's masterpiece Insect Story was published in 1880.
The Story of Insects has also been translated into Insect World and Insect Epic, and the English name is Records of Insects. It is called "Virgil of the insect world" and "insect epic". The subtitle is "Research on Insect Instinct and its Customs". It not only truly records the life of insects, but also reflects the human world through the life of insects.
Fabrice once asked a question: "Is it worth suffering just to survive?" He used his 92 years to answer the question of why he suffered hardships: facing prejudice directly, being accompanied by poverty, not afraid of sacrifice and offending forgetting, all for the word "truth". Seeking truth, seeking truth, can be described as "seeking truth". Seek truth! This is the "spirit of Fabres".
Fabres's research is naturally criticized by orthodox forces. Fables argued, "you are cutting open insects, and I am doing research while they are alive and kicking;" You turn insects into a bunch of horrible and poor things, and I make people like me; You work in torture room and the morgue, and I observe the cicada singing under the blue sky; You use reagents to test beehives and protoplasm, but I am the highest expression of research instinct; You are exploring death, but I am exploring life!
