Last night I watched the special edition of 25th anniversary of Les Miserables in concert
live at the O2 Arena, London (dvd made in 2010). Even though I have seen the musical 8 times in both New York and London, it never failed to touch me each time I watched it.
The main character Jean Valijean went through a transformation from being bitter about life into being sacrificial for others. One huge sacrifice he made towards the end of his age (in his 60’s) was risking his own life to rescue the boyfriend of his surrogate daughter Cosette during the French revolution. That reminded me that we can make a difference in other people’s life regardless of our own age and physical condition.
