About This Novel
The protagonist Gwynplaine in "The Man Who Laughs" is a descendant of a noble family. He fell into the hands of human traffickers when he was young and was disfigured and mutilated. His face always seemed to be smiling strangely. The kind-hearted entertainer Yu Sousse adopted him as his adopted son, and also adopted the blind girl Di that Gwen Pulan rescued from the snow. A few of them wandered around the world and made a living by performing arts. Later, due to accidental factors and the needs of the British political arena, Gwynplaine was able to regain his title, but he refused this dirty gift, preferring to return to his companions in distress; by this time Dee was seriously ill. After the blind girl passed away, Gwen Pulan was so sad that she threw herself into the sea and committed suicide.
