My French Revolutionary Years

In an old house in the suburbs of Paris at the end of the 18th century, a young man may not be content with being such an ordinary person, but he also suffers from the limited resources he receives as a poor man. He often thinks about how to turn around and realize his single-minded ambition. In a dormitory of a university in China in the 21st century, another young man was also complaining about his boring life and thinking about how to have a vigorous life. God made a joke, or maybe this was the inevitable outcome of history, and history gave them such a mission. In short, two young people who were each frustrated came together. It doesn't matter who becomes who. What matters is that a commoner, a tailor apprentice, an ordinary person struggling at the bottom will witness the ups and downs of the Revolution, the rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire, and the turbulent years of France. This book is an excerpt from what he saw and heard in Chinese recorded during his stay in France. Since during the writing process he needed to translate complicated French dialogue into Chinese that suited his expression habits, his records may sometimes be distorted due to the huge workload. In important places beyond his records, the editor will supplement the story from a third-person perspective. (Note: The names of people, places, proper nouns, etc. In the original text of the diary are all in French. Here, the author has translated them into Chinese for the convenience of readers.)
