Click 「Export chat history」 on the top right corner of Telegram Desktop.
In a typical export of Telegram message folder, there will be files like this:
.
├── css
│ └── style.css
├── images
├── js
│ └── script.js
├── messages2.html
├── messages3.html
├── messages4.html
├── messages5.html
├── messages.html
└── stickers
Just put the parse.py with those .htmls.
Run
python3 parse.py
and your chat log will be in chat_history.csv like this:

➜ cat chat_history.csv | wc -l
629529
How many times we say "Good Night" to each other?
➜ cat chat_history.csv | grep "晚安" | wc -l
504213
Wow, the "Good Night rate" is about 80%.
