God has always lived in people's hearts

So is it really the power of God? To turn a convict who hated the world into a great saint? I don't think so. The reason why Bishop Bian Furu's two silver candlesticks illuminated Jean Valjean's life is because the bishop let him discover the kindness in his heart, so he always upheld this belief in his life of suffering and did good deeds to the poor. Protecting Cosette with all his might, he released Javert from the barricade and rescued Marius from the gutter. God has always lived in the heart of man. For Jean Valjean, God is kindness and bravery; for Fantine, it is love for his daughter; for Marius, it is love that lasts until death; for Cosette, he is always full of hope for the beauty of this world ; For Enjolras, it is a firm belief in the Republic; For Javert, it is to find forgiveness and benevolence in the world outside the strict laws; ... Hugo left the happiest ending in "Les Miserables" to Marius and Cosette. Maybe it's because these two people are the purest people. They have nothing else to do. They always believe that there is love and light in this world. They don't want to see the darkness, and they always face the sun. They are the light in this dark world, the dream of everyone, and the world that everyone's heart desires. It is precisely because there are many people who are working hard for their happiness and resisting the darkness for them that they can come together. The whole story begins with the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, the restoration of the dynasty, and the reign of Louis Philippe in France. If you zoom in, you will find that the harsh punishments and tyranny of the monarchy make the people miserable. Even if the king is not a tyrant, the existence of the monarchy always has the possibility of a tyrant. In the battle of the barricade, the citizens sacrificed their precious lives for the realization of the republic with fewer enemies and more enemies. Marius and Cosette, who survived the revolution and found love, are the hope of the new world, the hope of all those who died in the revolution and suffering. The only thing that strikes me as lacking in this BBC miniseries is that it's a little hasty in explaining Jean Valjean's final life, and it doesn't show the kind of pain he left Cosette in the original book. But in the play, he returns to the place where he met the archbishop - Digne, the place where he was reborn from the ashes, the place where he found the kindness in his heart, the place that illuminated his life. Before he died, he looked at the two candlesticks that had accompanied his suffering throughout his life, as if angels were waiting for him, and God was smiling at him. Love and kindness, justice and bravery, faith and hope that the light always exists, these are the true meaning of God, the eternal candle that illuminates the suffering world.
