Wang Keran, artistic director of Yanghua Drama, said, "The French audience gave all the actors, directors and the entire crew great confidence, proving that the simplest and most basic human emotions are consistent. Because of this consistency, I and I Annaïse Martin decided to make this play, and invited our favorite director Jean, and a team of Chinese artists represented by Liu Ye.

Mark Drouet, director of cultural affairs of the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, said after watching the performance: "Tonight, I had a wonderful night. It is not easy to put Hugo's novels on the stage. It is even more difficult to turn it into a drama. The adaptation of "Les Misérables" gives us a better understanding of Hugo's perspective. I hope that next time, we can use the same form to interpret the works of Hugo or other writers. "

Villepin Cedric van Steevendel, Mayor of Lyon and Vice President of Cultural Affairs of Lyon, said: "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to see a Chinese drama and receive a drama team from China. This performance surprised me. I didn't expect that one day Foreign languages ​​can bring such great emotion and shock to me, and every audience member at the scene has his or her own different emotions.
