my old life

Chapter 2456 Les Miserables
I stared blankly at everything in front of me. I couldn't believe that this was a musical, let alone that I was sitting in a theater.

For some reason, the whispered singing of these 'prisoners' in front of me made me feel chills all over my body, as if I saw another me!
I can see my other self clearly in the casino, but I didn't expect to be so touched here. At this moment, I can't understand the purpose of Mike bringing me here.

As if feeling my surprise, Mike turned his head and smiled softly.

"Les Miserables is a classic among musicals, I believe you will like it."

Facing Mike's words, I don't know what to say, but I never thought that I would be reduced to a prisoner...but everything in front of me is a deduction of a prisoner.

Jean Valjean, who was released on parole, changed his expression, as if he was full of hope for the outside world, as if he had regained confidence in life, and his expression was quite in place!
At the beginning, I didn't understand why this kind of theme was performed in this kind of theater, but now it seems that these actors are masters, and what they deduce is the change of human nature!

The stage changed to Jean Valjean's roar, as if he was accusing Javert or a crime, but his eyes became full of expectation.

As if longing for the tolerance of the new world, as if looking forward to the appearance of a free life, all of these are vividly performed.

The warm music sounded on the stage, and the symphony orchestra can play shocking notes. I know this is a manifestation of strength.

When the warm music ended, there was a harsh voice, Jean Valjean was trying his best to accuse, and the aggressive tone was shocking!
You don't need words to understand that Jean Valjean was treated unfairly, his eyes were full of anger, and his voice was full of helplessness.

"Xiaona, what are they talking about?" I lowered my head and asked, but I really couldn't understand the way they rapped.

"The owner of the workshop only gave Jean Valjean half of his salary, just because he has a criminal record and cannot enjoy the same treatment as an honest person."

Upon hearing this, I understood Jean Valjean's helplessness and anger, and I also understood that this is the truest reality. People with previous convictions will be branded and labeled, and they will be inferior everywhere.

It doesn't just happen in musicals, it happens everywhere in life, and some mistakes can't be forgiven.

Jean Valjean stood helplessly and confused in the middle of the stage, and the light gave him a dim expression, as if he had fallen into a dark and desperate situation.

At this moment, I feel like someone who is stuck in the quagmire of gambling, helpless and unable to get forgiveness and relief, only one person silently bears the burden...

When the stage changed, a priest appeared, wearing a round hat, with a kind expression and gentle tone, like a savior who suddenly appeared.

"Monsieur, he wants to take Jean Valjean, give him bread and a place to live, but he has a wrong mind about the silver."

When I heard this, I thought in my heart that what a white-eyed wolf, what a good person will not be rewarded!This is so realistic!

It was not unreasonable for some people to be labeled. At this moment, Jean Valjean's expression and eyes were full of ferocity, and he wondered if he would murder for money.

To be honest, I am worried for the pastor. Not many people dare to open the door to let people in, and the awareness of prevention is too weak.

Just like those people who gamble to the end, they are so crazy that they will use everything to the extreme, and they will not let go of any opportunity to make money!

Jean Valjean took the silver lampstand and left. It was a relief that he did not seek wealth and murder, but he also planted a disaster for himself!
As soon as the stage turned, Javert appeared with a cold face, and there were a few people wearing boat caps beside him. I thought it was over!
As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you will die, Jean Valjean is not worthy of sympathy, and those who repay kindness and revenge never end well.

But if I were Jean Valjean, how should I choose when I was at the end of the road and had no money?
As the saying goes, people don't kill themselves, I can understand Jean Valjean's behavior, just like those gamblers, what can't be done once a person reaches the end of his life?
Javert's coldness was interpreted to the extreme, and every look in his eyes was full of contempt and disdain, as if he was not surprised by this result at all.

Jean Valjean kept defending, but he was powerless to recover if he was stolen and punished, and he would be sentenced to death in prison...

Suddenly the pastor appeared, and Jean Valjean, who had said a few words, was very shocked, and Javert began to question him.

"What did they say?"

"The pastor said that those silverware were presented to Jean Valjean, and he had his permission, but he left too hastily."

"Are you still going to catch him?"

"No, the pastor presented him with two more gold utensils."

At this moment, the pastor did not send Jean Valjean back to prison, but gave him a lot of things. This reversal was very surprising.

If it had been me, would I have forgiven Jean Valjean for his actions?Would anyone else forgive his actions?
There is only Jean Valjean's monologue left on the stage. It seems that he should be touched, because he has taken a chance to be free.

After the monologue, Jean Valjean slowly left step by step, as if immersed in touch and shock, and also as if he was walking towards the distance step by step to start a new life.

Seeing this, I feel a little depressed in my heart. This stage play gave me too much shock, and also gave me a humanity that I have never seen before.

Human nature is always changeable, goodness and evil collide together, and the opposite of justice is not evil, but inhumanity.

After being in the Jianghu world for so long, I no longer trust anyone, nor do I believe that there will be salvation.

I don't make any comments on this scene, right and wrong are left to others, everyone will have their own thoughts and judgments.

A group of women appeared on the stage, their clothes looked like workers in a workshop, and they were all complaining.

This time I don’t need to ask Xiaona, I can see that they are complaining about being exploited and the ruthlessness of capital.

In fact, it is the same everywhere. The higher the labor repetition rate, the lower the value, and there is no ability to pay a premium at all.

Those who imagine that their boss will be merciful are just daydreaming, and their cries and accusations seem ineffective, because no one cares about their feelings.

A tall guy appeared on the stage, his aura changed as soon as he appeared, and he felt like he should be a contractor.

Cruelty and indifference are played to the extreme, and the foreman gets a smile, a flattering smile, from anyone who walks by.

They are complaining but dare not show it, for fear of losing their jobs. This is a portrayal of reality and is completely in line with humanity and people's hearts.

In this world, there are many people who dare not speak out when they are angry, who dare not express their emotions in their hearts, who are dissatisfied with their jobs but afraid of losing this unsatisfactory job.

In this world, many people seem to be glamorous and beautiful, but in fact they are no different from these female workers!That's right, there is no difference at all!
Want to get a higher income report, want to reduce the burden of work, but like a headless chicken without a goal, there is nothing to do!

This scene reminded me of Jean Valjean just now, and the scene just now...

In the face of toughness and indifference, you can only bear it silently, but in the face of other people's kindness, it will expose your own worsening!

It's like that person bullies the weak and fears the hard, like those persimmons who pick the soft ones, like those blood-sucking parasites, who always do whatever they want within the scope of others' good intentions!

As the saying goes, giving alms once is kindness, giving alms a hundred times is enmity.

When charity and kindness become a habit, people will become accustomed and numb, and will take all charity for granted!

Human nature is that no matter how good you are to a person, if you slap him, you will turn your face into hatred, and all the good things in the past will turn into hatred!

If you get used to slapping him every day, and suddenly stop hitting him one day, then he will be grateful to you. This is human nature!
If a person has been kneeling for a long time, let him continue to kneel, and don't pull him up out of good intentions.

If a person has been lying down for a long time, he will think that all these things belong to him, and it will be difficult to get him to kneel.

The stage play vividly shows human nature, showing the priest who led wolves into the house and Jean Valjean who bullied the weak and feared the strong!

I am becoming more and more interested in this stage play, because savoring carefully will always give people a different feeling, in fact, what they perform is life!

The tall contractor began to entangle a female worker. This female worker looked very beautiful and obviously had some ideas.

"Xiaona, what is that female worker reading?"

"Her daughter is seriously ill and needs her to send money, and that man is pestering her."

I know this is taking advantage of others' danger. This kind of men is the most despicable and shameless, and there are also a large number of them around us.

In my principle, a man can do things by all means, but he can't play tricks on women. What kind of man is he who takes advantage of others?
When the stage turned, Jean Valjean suddenly appeared. He changed into a black gentleman suit, but I recognized the actor just now.

"Xiaona, is his identity still Jean Valjean?"

"Yes, this is in 1823, and he has become mayor and factory owner."

I thought to myself that this guy did a good job, he took the gold utensil given by the pastor and made it look like this, but I didn't see any return from him to the pastor.

If there is a reward, it won't be the current scene. He looks very arrogant, but he can't get rid of his inferiority!

People are always obsessed with emptiness and pretentious care, but turn a blind eye to a lot of help, and even ask for it unlimitedly.

It's hard to imagine that this is a work created in the eighteenth century, because everything seems to be around, and people can't help but sigh.

In fact, after seeing this, I already understood the purpose of Mike bringing me here, although he didn't say anything...

At the moment, I'm like one of those prisoners in a musical, from a humble background like an ant and maggot... That's how I am for Mike.

He gave me a lot of help, he didn't have any prejudice against me, and he didn't live in a depressed and humble way like those female workers...

But I know exactly what Mike means, he made me stand for a long time, but I can't forget the feeling of kneeling!
