Gorky, a world writer, has a deep affection for books and loves them like life. Once, his room caught fire. The first thing he picked up was a book, and nothing else was considered. He almost burned to death to save the book. He said: "Books enlighten my wisdom and soul, and at the same time help me stand up in the muddy pond. If it weren't for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be drowned by stupidity and filth.

Gorky has a clever son named Maxim. He lived with his mother in Paris, France when he was very young.

When Maxim was 8 years old, he began to write letters to his father with the help of his mother. He wrote and revised, revised and wrote, and finally posted the letter. Gorky was very happy when he received his son's letter. He quickly opened the letter, smiled while reading it, and couldn't help praising his son as a "hero" who might become a writer and poet in the future.

Then he wrote a letter to his son. He said in a humorous and serious tone, "honey, you didn't write this letter yourself, did you?" I will be very happy if you try to write to me in person and send it to me. Do everything yourself, don't force others to think of you ... "

Maxim read his father's reply and made up his mind to learn to write letters by himself without his mother's help in the future.

A few years later, Maxim 1 1 years old. He carefully recalled his childhood with his parents looking for Gobbato Fuka's summer vacation, and wrote an article about it and sent it to Gorky. Gorky wrote back to his son immediately after receiving the letter: "Instead of telling stories to the teacher, it is better to practice writing after class. This is very interesting. At your age, I practiced writing and keeping a diary in this way. Maybe that's why I became a writer. "

He was born into a carpenter's family in Russian times. He lost his father at the age of 4 and was placed in foster care at his grandmother's house. Because of his extremely cold family, he only attended primary school for two years. LO 18 years old walked into the cold "human world". He worked as an apprentice, porter, caretaker and baker. He also wandered to southern Russia twice and was tortured by a miserable life. But he likes reading very much. In any case, he will take the opportunity to jump on the book and read it eagerly. As he himself said, "I jumped into the book, just like a hungry man jumped into the bread."

In order to study, he endured humiliation. When lO 18 years old, he was an apprentice in a shoe store. When he has no money to buy books, he borrows books everywhere. At that time, preschool children were actually slaves: shopping in the street, making stoves, cleaning the floor, washing vegetables and taking care of children ... from morning to half an hour every day. After a hard day, I insist on reading with a homemade lamp.

The proprietress forbade Gorky to study and went to the attic to find books herself. When she found them, she tore them up. I was beaten by my boss's wife for studying. Gorky can endure anything, even torture, in order to study. He said, "If someone suggested to me,' Go to the square and hit you with a stick!'" "I think I can accept this condition.
