Julian, the hero of the novel, crossed the suspension bridge in Besancon and walked into the city, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the city and quietly thinking deeply. Julian thinks: "Besancon is not only one of the most beautiful cities in France, but also has so many warm and thoughtful people." 19, the 20th century is an era when various ideas in French society meet and agitate, and artistic activities are extremely active, and Besancon celebrities come forth in large numbers. Many thinkers, writers, painters and scientists who were born or lived in this land later became world-class masters. China readers are familiar with: Fourier, founder of utopian socialism, economist proudhon, founder of nihilism and founder of social reformism theory, painter Courbet, Malarme,/kloc-Pasteur, genius scientist in the 9th century, and Lumiere brothers, inventors of movies, all of whom spent their youth in Besancon ... Among all the celebrities, the great writer victor hugo undoubtedly brought the greatest glory to Besancon. As the birthplace of this great literary master, Besancon's scenery was infinite and even attracted the envy of other cities in the activities to commemorate Hugo's bicentennial birthday. They questioned Besancon's right to monopolize Hugo, because the great writer only stayed in Besancon for six short weeks before his death. However, Besancon City does not attach importance to these issues, because they have an ironclad proof-Hugo 1802 birth record kept in Besancon Museum. It turns out that Hugo's ancestors were not Bezansong people, or even Franche Conte people. 1802 On February 26th, Hugo was born in a three-story building at No.40, thoroughfare street in the city. He was born in Besancon by accident. Hugo's father was a general under Napoleon. When he was stationed in Besancon, little Hugo came to the world. Six weeks after Hugo was born, his father was transferred to Marseille, and the baby Hugo left the city with his parents and two brothers. Hugo lived to the age of 83 and never returned to his birthplace. However, he mentioned Besancon more than once in his poems, novels and plays.
