Gorky's Introduction:

Gorky ( March 28, 1868 - June 18, 1936) was a proletarian writer in the former Soviet Union and the founder of socialist realist literature. He shared the fate of society with the working people, and personally experienced the cruel exploitation and oppression of capitalism. This had an important influence on his thinking and creative development. Gorky was not only a great writer, but also an outstanding social activist.

Creative background:

This sentence was said by Gorky when he joined the Bolshevik Party.

Most of Gorky's early realistic works were based on his experiences and feelings about life at the bottom. The most representative of them is the tramp-themed novel "Cherkash", which depicts an old tramp. Cherkash has the noble qualities of being brave, independent, unyielding to money and maintaining human dignity.

It shows that although these people still have a heavy spiritual burden, they are much nobler than selfish and vulgar small private owners. Artistically, "Cherkash" fully demonstrates Gorky's excellent skills in depicting complex characters in his early realist works.

Gorky's famous sayings:

1. Those who aim at the top will never stop climbing because they are nostalgic for the exotic flowers and plants halfway up the mountain.

2. In life, all the beautiful things we encounter are counted in seconds.

3. In a world where everything is constantly changing, it is foolish to rush to conclusions.

4. If you don’t want to waste your life in this world, you have to study all your life.

5. A true friend will be happy for you when you succeed, but will not support you. When you encounter misfortune or sadness, we will give you timely support and encouragement. When you have shortcomings or make mistakes, we will give you the right criticism and help. We should ask this of our friends. This kind of friendship is truly valuable.
