    Notre Dame Cathedral fire on Monday caused waves of sympathy in China, but it reminds some Chinese Internet users of destruction of Old Summer Palace (Yuanming Yuan). During the Second Opium War in October 1860, British and French troops marched into Beijing's Old Summer Palace, known as the Garden of Perfect Brightness (of Yuanming Yuan). The destruction was accompanied by widespread looting by both British and French troops.

    The palace was regarded as the home of the most beautiful collection of architecture and art in the country and its destruction has long been regarded as a shameful wound by many Chinese.

    "Honestly, I feel bad that 800-year-old architecture was set on fire and it was a loss for the whole mankind, but I find it hard to have pity on it with the French people," wrote one Weibo user, who called himself "minister of martial orders."

    "This easily reminded me of the Yuanming Yuan being burned down by the British and French armies, which was more valuable than Notre Dame. There is a karmic cycle and who has heaven ever forgiven?"

    The post was liked more than 23,000 times, and attracted 7,500 comments.

    Another Internet user said: "It serves them right… weren't they pleased when they burned down the Yuanming Yuan? I don't sympathise but can only say well-done.

    Even state news agency Xinhua joined the debate, publish a commentary on its website comparing the fire at the cathedral to the torching of the royal palace.

    "Chinese people relate to the hurt feelings of lost treasure experienced by the French people. Today, when the whole world is sad about the falling down of the tower of Notre Dame, please don't forget that after Yuanming Yuan was looted and burned a hundred years ago, China was heart-broken alone," the commentary, later removed from the website, said.

    The fire is not only a tragedy for France but also a loss for mankind. It is narrow-minded to rain hatred on something innocent. We should remember the shame but let go of the hatred," a commentary on its CCTV.com website read.

    China's President Xi Jinping also joined a host of world leaders in sending a message of condolence to French President Macron.
