I saw a pair of gray eyes shoot a leopard-like look under the bushy eyebrows of the little man in front of me. Although people who have seen Tolstoy have talked about such sharp eyes, no matter how good the picture is, it can't be reflected. This kind of look is like a shining steel knife piercing, slow and steady, hitting the key. You can't move or run away. It seems to be hypnotized, so you have to endure this kind of eye exploration, and no cover-up can resist it. It penetrates camouflage armor like a bullet and cuts glass like a diamond knife. Under this penetrating inspection, no one can escape.

Zweig described Tolstoy's eyes from many angles with exaggerated brushstrokes and figurative metaphors, which made us feel the penetrating power of his eyes more truly. Writing a look and using "sharp" is enough for readers to imagine the sharpness of that look, but the author thinks it is not enough. "Bright steel knife" and "extremely sharp", hypnotic and thrilling, invincible bullets, are the most vivid and vivid embodiment of "sharp". Li Bai can use "white hair" to describe the depth of his worries, and he also uses "a stream of tobacco, a city wind, a plum yellow rain" to describe his leisure worries. Everyone at home and abroad can render the "one point" from multiple angles and portray it at multiple levels, which shows the depth of the skill. Tolstoy exposed any meanness and nobility, and his "penetrating" vision came from his thought of criticizing reality. The lofty spirit of realistic criticism makes any meanness have nowhere to escape, so his eyes are the scalpel of thought, cutting open all darkness and filth and cutting blood.
