If all people live in misery, it must be a problem with the social system. If there is something wrong with the social system, then most will be miserable. When I was in school, my history teacher said that the French are particularly revolutionary. They are the country with the most revolutions and the most thorough revolutions in the world. At that time, I didn't understand it, thinking that everything was a coincidence. It's a pity that I didn't have the conditions to watch Les Miserables at that time, and I only saw Notre Dame Cathedral by accident. After resigning, I stayed at home and started watching dramas, only to realize how lucky the French are to have Voltaire, Hugo, such conscience, they tell the story, try to awaken everyone, and pass on conscience, good and evil, and justice to all. If there is a problem with the social system, then overthrow and rebuild, and overthrow and rebuild again and again until you reach a state of balance where most people can live well. For a small number of wicked people, such as Thenardier, they are inherently evil, and even if they will be evil to the end, don't expect anything to save and change them. For most ordinary human beings, what they pursue is still a happy and happy life. If a vested interest like Grandpa Marius only wants to rely on the ancestral shadow to enjoy the glory and wealth, and firmly maintain the existing system, it can only be achieved through Revolution to change everything. From a big perspective, this is a manifesto about revolution. The social system in France at that time is prone to collapse, and young people have to stand up and fight. From a small perspective, this is a book about self-salvation, about the great love of goodness. Great, let the uncle's life be a life of ups and downs, tortuous and painful at the same time. Every character in the book is very rich and three-dimensional. The low-level women of that era, who did not have knowledge and culture to go to society, were deceived and humiliated to death. A good marriage became their only luck in life. This is in line with the background of the times. I am incapable of evaluating this great work. It just makes me feel that everything inside is deja vu, and how similar to what I have experienced and what is in front of me.
