The appearance of Jean Valjean and his actions to help civilians attracted the attention of Changsha police officer Wei. Javert, the son of the prison guard, met Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean and Javert have different views on Fantine. Fantine, pure and kind, was cheated and gave birth to Cosette, an illegitimate daughter. Now, Fantine's life is at stake, and her only wish is to see Cosette, the daughter of Madame Thenardier, the owner of Montfermeil Inn. In the mayor's office, I heard Javert say that a man named Champmathieu was on trial for himself. After a fierce ideological struggle, Jean Valjean chose to surrender.
Knowing that Fantine was dead, Jean Valjean, who was imprisoned again, made a scene with a hidden clockwork and sawed off the window lattice to escape from prison. Jean Valjean came to Thenardier Inn and took Cosette to Paris for the night. After Cosette entered Benedick Abbey in the name of Jean Valjean's daughter, Jean Valjean changed her name to Forschler Wan and became the gardener of the monastery.
Eight years have passed since I became a gardener. The quiet life was disturbed again, because the young and noble Marius fell in love with the beautiful Cosette. 1830, after the young Republican Marius devoted himself to the vigorous people's uprising against the Bourbon dynasty, Jean Valjean met Thenardier, who was living on the streets of Paris at this time. Thenardier's plot against Jean Valjean happened to be heard by Marius. During Javert's arrest, the rogue Thenardier was arrested and imprisoned, and Jean Valjean took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Although Jean Valjean moved several times since then, with the help of Eponine, who loved Marius deeply, Marius finally found Cosette. Looking at a pair of lovers in love, Jean Valjean helped two young people get married. However, when Jean Valjean explained Cosette and her life, Marius turned a blind eye to Jean Valjean. Although Marius finally accepted Jean Valjean, Jean Valjean's only wish at this time was that Cosette could erect a wordless tombstone for him after his death.

As the novel Les Miserables is almost as familiar to the French as China's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many branches and chapters have been deleted in the adaptation, and important fragments have been strung together into a ribbon story, starting with Jean Valjean's parole and understanding, and finally pursuing the light hopefully, which is very touching. The following is a chronological introduction of this masterpiece:
Overture: 18 15 Digne
The criminal Jean Valjean 2460 1 was imprisoned in handcuffs and shackles 19 years, and finally got a parole order and left the dark life. However, this yellow free-form paper did not make him free in society, but attracted discrimination everywhere and made him wander the streets. Only Miley, Bishop of Deane, took him in as a hobby. In the middle of the night, the habit of being poor for many years made him relapse and stole a silver candlestick from the bishop's house. Unexpectedly, he was caught halfway. The police took him to the bishop to confront him. To his surprise, the bishop did not expose it, but lied for him, saying it was a gift from him. After the police stormed off, Jean Valjean knelt down and begged for mercy. As long as the bishop swears to give his soul to God, he will turn over a new leaf and give him a candlestick. Jean Valjean felt the power of pity, tore up the parole and decided to turn over a new leaf.
Monterey 1823 (Montreuil-maritime)
Eight years later, Jean Valjean did fulfill his oath and completely changed his name. He not only changed his name to McDonnell, but also became the beloved mayor and director of Monterey, famous for his charity. At this time, Fang Ting, a female worker in his factory, is suffering a tragic fate. Because of her enthusiasm, she was pregnant with a girl. I'm afraid that the ungrateful man has left, leaving their mother and daughter. For the sake of little Cosette, she must be adopted. Fang Ting went to Paris as a female worker after settling her daughter in Donnelly's house. The thought of Cosette gave her infinite strength. All the money earned is sent back to the Tang family, hoping that my daughter will live comfortably. She knew that Tang's illness in the letter was false, and all the money went into Tang's pockets and their mouths. Now Fang Ting has received such a letter asking for money, which unexpectedly fell into the hands of her colleagues. Everyone despised her and joined the foreman. Fang Ting only thinks about her daughter's medical expenses. After selling the necklace box and a long hair, she was in a desperate situation. She joined the prostitutes in the docklands and sold spiritual meat painfully. Until one day, she refused a rude guest and dragged him. When the new police chief Wei Jia arrived, she was convicted indiscriminately. The mayor who witnessed this scene stood up and stopped her, and ordered Wei Jia to let Fang Ting go and take her to the hospital.
When Wei Jia wanted to argue with the mayor, an old man in the street was pinned down by a loose carriage, and Jean Valjean immediately rushed forward to lift the roof. His unusual strength reminds Wei Jia of the criminal whose number is 2460 1. He has been looking for 2460 1 for many years, always in vain, but it is obviously unfair to suspect that a beloved mayor is so confused that the police are nowhere to be found. Wei Jia thought he had wronged the mayor and apologized to Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean of honest and frank couldn't stand the injustice brought by his cowardice to civilians, so he came to court to confess his identity-prisoner 2460 1. Wei Jia wanted to arrest him at once, but Jean Valjean was so worried about Fang Ting's illness that he knocked Wei Jia unconscious and ran away.
On his deathbed, Fantine gratefully handed over the future of Cosette to Jean Valjean, and he promised one by one that after Fantine's miserable life ended with her yearning for Cosette, Jean Valjean, who was in charge of this matter, immediately rushed to Montfermeil, which Fantine mentioned, to rescue her poor orphan.

Little Gavroche is the backbone of a group of prostitutes and urban beggars. Even Mr. and Mrs. Donaldy fell into the life of a beggar gang. On one occasion, they even robbed Jean Valjean's father and daughter, so they also asked Wei Jia to meet Wan Yi. However, Wei Jia did not realize this at that time. When he found out, he was so angry that he vowed to arrest Jean Valjean again.
At this time, Eponine is a young girl who has a crush on her classmate Mario, but Mario's mind has been completely focused on Cosette she met in the street. But Eponine agreed to inquire about Cosette.

On the other hand, because Mario is suffering from love, Eponine can't bear to take him to see Cosette, and they can finally talk to each other. Eponine endured the sadness around him and stopped the robbery of the beggars' sect. She is really a stubborn girl. At this time, considering the chaos of the revolution and Havel's threat, Jean Valjean decided to take Cosette out of Paris, and the two lovers separated from each other. For them, how gloomy the eve of the revolution is! Lovers are afraid of farewell, secret admirers lose hope, fugitives hope to be safe, and the only person who can have a little happiness is probably a dead man like Donnelly waiting to pick up cheap things.
With the gradual progress of revolutionary work, students began to build fortifications. Eponine was determined to accompany Mario to the end, so he joined the work of young people. Mario was overjoyed to see her and sent her a letter to Cosette, but it fell into the hands of his father. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he tried to dissuade Mario from taking part in the uprising, only to find Javier, posing as a comrade, recognized by Gavroche and tied to the ground. He volunteered to take care of Javier, but in fact he let him go on purpose.

Mario gradually recovered. He doesn't know who saved his life, so he owes everything to Cosette's care. Jean Valjean confessed his past to Mario, saying that he would rather live alone in order not to hinder their future.

Jean valjean
The prisoner was imprisoned 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread to help his nephew. At first, he was sentenced to only 5 years in prison. However, due to distrust of the law, he escaped from prison many times and aggravated the crime. His stubborn personality and unafraid of power made Inspector Wei Jia hate his guts, and his extraordinary strength left a deep impression on Wei Jia. These two people have forged a lifelong pursuit. After parole, he was inspired by the priest, changed his name to become the mayor, was merciful, helped the female worker Fang Ting raise her daughter Cosette, saved her daughter's lover, the revolutionary young Mario, and left this world with atonement love after her daughter got a good home.
Fandini
A female worker in Jean Valjean's factory, whose youth was bumpy, was maliciously abandoned after being pregnant with her boyfriend's flesh and blood. For the sake of her daughter's life, she had to reluctantly foster her in the home of a pub owner in Montfermeil, come to Paris to make a living and send money back regularly. However, because the illegitimate daughter was exposed by her colleagues and was driven out of the factory, she had to sell jewelry, long hair and even spirit and body. Fortunately, she met Jean Valjean and entrusted her daughter's future.
Cosette (Cosette)
Although Fang Ting's poor daughter was entrusted to the pub family at her mother's entreaties, she did not enjoy a carefree childhood. Instead, she was treated as a maid, burying herself in housework all day. Almost all the money saved by her mother was used to train the pub owner's own daughter. However, she spent much less time in bad karma than her mother. Jean Valjean took her as his own child, so that she could forget the memory of her childhood. Later, she fell in love with young Mario, and all was well.
Javert
Those who stick to justice are also die-hard loyalists of justice. He believes that compassion is the root of criminals, especially people like Jean Valjean. So I vowed to take him back to prison for life, only to find out how kind Jean Valjean really is, which is a very cruel thing for a detective who holds the theory that human nature is evil. Therefore, after he put Jean Valjean and Mario into the sewer together, he chose to jump into the river all the way to end his martyred life because he could not face the beliefs he had held for many years.
Thenardier (narrator)

Later, Mr. Donaldy became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, searching for valuables from the dead behind the volunteers. In the end, the two of them actually played tricks on Cosette's wedding for a while, which was really remarkable.
Eponine ()
The only daughter of the Tang family, who was loved since childhood, looked down on Cosette, but perhaps because of her education, she was much more conscientious than her parents. Although Mario, who has a crush on her, doesn't love her, she is still willing to ask Cosette for him, send him a love letter, and run back to the war zone in order to live and die with him. Being shot in Mario's arms and giving up his life is also an atonement for his parents.
Mario (Marius)
The revolutionary youth of the standard19th century, full of passion for their ideals and pure feelings for Cosette, was injured and comatose in the uprising and was rescued by Jean Valjean.
