Jean Valjean is an unemployed worker. He is honest and kind. He stole a loaf of bread for his hungry nephew and was sentenced to five years' hard labor. Later, because I heard that my loved ones were suffering and fled many times, I was aggravated and served 19 years of hard labor.
After parole, he was left out in the cold by the society. The cruel reality made him have a strong hatred for people and society and deliberately retaliated.
Hugo's Jean Valjean is enough to be immortal in the literary palace;
He told readers with his own destiny: how a man should face and change an unfair fate, how to redeem himself, and more importantly, how to express his love and care for different people.
Jean Valjean's way of expressing love is firm, brave and unrequited. On the surface, he satisfies others by giving. In fact, this kind of dedication has also enriched his heart, filled him with happiness and emotion, and made any gloomy era irrelevant.

One winter, Jean Valjean lost his job, and the children muttered for bread. They are starving to death.
When Jean Valjean couldn't stand their entreaties any longer, he went out at night, smashed the window of a barber shop with his fist, took back a piece of bread and gave it to the hungry children.
The next morning, he was arrested for stealing. It turned out that his bleeding hand betrayed him.
To make matters worse, through this incident, Jean Valjean was also found to be poaching and possessing guns at ordinary times, so he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, during which he escaped from prison four times and was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment after being arrested. As a result, he spent 19 years in prison for a piece of bread.
A piece of bread, nineteen years.
After he got out of prison, Jean Valjean was looked down upon everywhere, with no job and no food. He vowed to take revenge on society.
At this time, a bishop named milian influenced him, and he was determined to do good deeds and be a good person.
He changed his name to Madeleine, set up a factory in a city and became a rich man. Providing employment opportunities for the poor and giving them food and housing, he was helpful and was elected as the mayor by the citizens.
At this time, a girl named Fantine came to the city. She used to be a country girl and went to work in Jean Valjean's factory. She was abandoned by a handsome boy and gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock.
She put her daughter Cosette in foster care at Thenardier's house. Thenardier first made young Cosette do hard work, while writing letters to deceive Fantine and constantly demanding alimony.
Fantine knew nothing about it, and even thought Cosette was well taken care of. For this reason, she sold her beautiful hair and teeth, even sold herself as a prostitute, and finally she was terminally ill and dying.
When Jean Valjean heard that this man was a female worker in his factory, he went to offer his condolences. Unexpectedly, this was Fantine's last moment, and she promised to raise her daughter Cosette after her death.
At this time, the police Javert was chasing Jean Valjean, a convict who had been missing for many years. In Madeleine, he arrested a poor worker, thinking that he was Jean Valjean, and was going to send him to prison. In order to save innocent workers, Jean Valjean stepped forward and voluntarily admitted his identity.
He fell into the hands of the police again.
But on the way to the prison, he managed to escape.
