"How Steel is Tempered" This is a sad book to read. This is a heroic ode. This book describes Pavel Kochakin, a legendary figure with the background of Russian October Revolution. The events described took place in the historical period from 19 15 to the early 1930s. Pavel Colta King is the central figure portrayed by the author and the most successful communist fighter in the book. Under the influence of the old Bolshevik Zhu, he changed from spontaneous fighting to conscious fighting. In the battle, he understood the social roots of life inequality, and that if he wants to overthrow the old world, he must be a "brave and strong class brother" and a "determined steel warrior". In the great struggle to defend the Soviet regime, he realized that a person can only create miracles if he is connected with the motherland. He once said: "I am in favor of revolutionaries who think that personal affairs can't be compared with collective undertakings at all."
Nicola ostrovsky, the author of this book, explained the title of this work. He said: "Steel is very strong because it is burned in a fire and cooled to a high degree. Our generation has also been trained in struggles and hard tests and learned never to lose heart in life. " In shaping the image of Paul, the author reveals the inherent complexity and growth process of this image with inner monologues, letters and aphorisms. Paul's image is the most brilliant and typical representative of the socialist young generation. No matter from the ideological content or artistic form, this novel is one of the best works in Soviet literature in the 1930s, and it is unique in the history of world literature in terms of the strength and depth of its influence on readers.
At the same time, the influence of "Paul Spirit" created by Nikolai ostrovsky on people transcends the boundaries of time and space. Take China as an example. Since 1980s, China has entered a new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, which is quite different from the specific content of Paul's era. We are faced with new situations, new tasks and many new problems to be solved. In real life, we no longer need to launch 17 times a day to capture a castle like Paul, nor do we need to step on frozen mud to build a small railway when we are suffering from typhoid fever. However, in the great journey of building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics, Paul's selfless dedication to the progress and liberation of mankind; Combine lofty ideals with every concrete action, be down-to-earth and work hard; Fearless, tenacious, enterprising and hard-working spirit; The spirit of endless life and struggle is still the strongest voice of the times. In the construction of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization, Paul's spirit is still our powerful weapon.
"People's most precious life, life only belongs to everyone once. That's how people should spend their lives. Looking back, I should not regret wasting time, nor should I be ashamed of doing nothing. On my deathbed, I can say that all my life and energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-fighting for the liberation of mankind. This is probably the most impressive and wonderful paragraph in this book. I think Pavel Colta King's famous words will accompany me all my life, urging me to seize every minute to do something beneficial to the development and progress of mankind and enrich my spiritual life. In retrospect, I don't regret wasting my time, nor am I ashamed of being mediocre.

Before reading How Steel was Tempered, I had a big shortcoming. I lack perseverance and often give up halfway. For example, when I first started writing a diary, I thought it was very interesting, so I could keep writing one every day. Before long, I felt that keeping a diary was a burden, and it gradually became boring. Seeing that I was half-hearted, my father specially introduced me to the book How Steel was Tempered. I finished reading the book at one go. Paul Kochakin, the hero of the book, never lost heart after his disability, but also stubbornly studied and worked hard to start literary creation. Later, I went blind, which was a great blow to a paralyzed person! However, Paul resolutely picked up the pen and insisted on writing. Every time he writes a word, he will work hard. Through his efforts, he finally finished the novel Born in the Storm. There is a famous saying in How Steel is Tempered: "Human life is the most precious. When you look back on the past, you shouldn't regret your mediocrity ... "Paul is the embodiment of the strong. However, after reading the book, the sighing scenes in the book always appear in front of me. I think I have a good life, but I am afraid of hardship and fatigue, so I can't study hard. Hey, that's too bad ... The book How Steel is Tempered is really good, which makes me understand a truth: you should have a strong will, even if you fall down on the road of life, don't give up. You should stand up and go on. The door to success is always open to you. Therefore, I will continue to learn and draw more spiritual food from it. Whenever I encounter difficulties, whenever I cry because of setbacks, I always think of Paul's tall image, and I want to forge myself into real steel.

Today, I read the book How Steel was Tempered, and the protagonist Paul in the book made me feel respected.
After being expelled from school by teachers and priests, Paul became friends with Tonya in an accidental meeting. Under the guidance of Zhu, an assembler, he learned that the Bolsheviks were revolutionary parties fighting for the liberation of the poor. He reluctantly bid farewell to Tonya, fled his hometown, joined the Red Army and became a strong Bolshevik fighter. However, his physical condition deteriorated, his right leg became disabled, and the dark injury of his spine became more and more serious, and finally he was paralyzed. However, he did not feel depressed because of this, and began a difficult writing career, from which he made a good start in his new life.
I admire Paul's indomitable revolutionary spirit, which is not afraid of illness and setbacks. He always struggles for the revolutionary cause. He was once unfortunately infected with typhoid fever. With strong perseverance, he miraculously came back from the death line and returned to the hot job without hesitation.
What moved me most was the following story.
Almost all the league organizations in Solomonka District went into battle. The Communist Youth League Committee went to three people-Du Bawa, pankratov and Paul. These three people were personally selected by Comrade Zhu. The railway repair work has begun, and no one expected that the conditions would be so difficult. The cold autumn rain soaked people's clothes, heavy and cold; Surrounded by desolation, hundreds of people can only sleep on the concrete floor of four broken houses at night, wearing wet and muddy clothes, huddled together tightly to keep warm. In the morning, everyone drinks some tea and then goes to work. Lunch every day is clear soup and black bread like briquettes. However, with infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause and strong revolutionary perseverance, they accomplished the task brilliantly.
I think the entrepreneurs and builders in our country are strikingly similar to their situation. Today, our happy life is hard-won by countless hard workers and revolutionaries. We should cherish today's happy life, study hard, hone our skills and work hard to build our motherland better in the future.

Paul's life is very bumpy. Even though he is blind, he insists on writing a book, and he has no pity for himself. The book says: The manuscript he worked so hard to write was lost, which made him very depressed and disappointed. However, he pulled himself together and completed his masterpiece with tenacious perseverance. There is a famous saying in the book: "Human life is the most precious. When he looks back on the past, he shouldn't regret not doing anything ... "
In contrast to Paul, I thought of myself and felt a fever on my face. I remember that on the first day of this year, everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere, but my home was very deserted. My father is busy with work and on a business trip, and my mother is bedridden due to illness. Listening to the children frolicking outside, my tears swirled in my eyes, and in an instant, I shed tears. My mother saw me crying and pointed to the book at the bedside and said, "Jessica Hester Hsuan, that book!" " I want to solve the problem for my family and decide to cook. My mother smiled all over her face, held my hand tightly and said, "You are really a man of indomitable spirit in our family!" " I pointed to the book How Steel was Tempered and said, "It taught me!"
Whenever I flinch from difficulties, whenever I cry in frustration, I will think of Paul's tall figure and try to turn myself into real steel!

Paul, a young man full of energy and passion. During the war, he did not choose to escape, but chose the most favorable way-the war of resistance! He didn't bow and scrape in front of the rich. He chose to stand up and let others know that the poor are not easy to bully. Poor man can't move! He didn't lower his head in the face of violence. He chose to face violence and let others know that the poor also have dignity. Terrible and unyielding!
Sometimes I envy Paul and his two brothers. They have always been so United, without any flaws. Even if it conflicts with your own interests or concerns your own life. However, I am always so happy. I spent the war with my brother since I was a child until he went out to study. Maybe that's a way to enhance feelings. Paul, born in a warm family, has forged a sincere friendship, and his unswerving love has not wasted his life. However, have you ever wondered why Paul has such an "achievement"? I think that's because of his personality charm, and he has a "steel" will and spirit.
Before Paul was kicked out of school by Father Vassili, the contradiction between him and the priest kept happening, not because his mother interceded last time, but because Paul was kicked out of school early in the morning. Since then, the priest has been looking for opportunities to kick Paul out of school so that he can live happily. This time is an opportunity, and no one can blame it. Blame yourself for making enemies with the priest. Let's do it together. There's nobody but Paul. This time it should be "lynching", otherwise it will be Paul's turn to choose. He has been unlucky. Even if he was unlucky, his mother finally helped him find a job and settle down temporarily. Xie took the opportunity to be a little human. At this time, he could comfort Paul and be a friend. With the comfort of Xie, Paul also settled down and rushed out of his world with a clear conscience.
When Paul worked hard, the aunts and people of his age who worked together got along well with Paul. However, sunny days are always short-lived. At this time, some workers who worked together were jealous and thought that Paul had come to rob them of their jobs. They made things difficult for him everywhere and made Paul give up. At this time, the symbol of strength-Aerjiaom appeared. In order to protect his brother's interests, his fist as big as a casserole fell on those people. Finally, Paul's interests were safeguarded, but Aerjiaom was accused of injury and sent to prison. Is it worth it if Altem does this? Why? This is very simple. Just because Paul is his brother, the two brothers should stand up and tell him that we are not easy to bully!
When Paul was sent to prison, he met a man his own age. This is a very beautiful girl, and Paul is deeply attracted by her everywhere. The girl was persecuted and sent to prison. Those shameless officers and men persecuted her. They tried to rape her. However, they failed, they met with fierce resistance from the girl, and finally she was sent in. When talking to Paul, the girl found that Paul was a gentleman. She knew that if tonight passed, she would be raped by those hateful officers and men. She would rather give her body to Paul than be defiled by officers and men. Faced with attractive lips and plump breasts, Paul lost his strength, which is an irresistible temptation. However, when she approached, Paul did not lose his mind, but refused her. When Paul thought of Tonya, he couldn't accept everything else, including the temptation. The next day, the girl was sent away. Her eyes are full of crystal-like liquid, which contains both disappointment and despair. That look is uncomfortable, but Paul can't break his promise to Tonya, because Tonya is the only one for Paul. Sitting still is enough to show Paul's loyalty to love, which is worth learning from us modern people.
I don't think there are many chapters in How Steel is Tempered, but I already know that Paul will affect my life. He always gives me a great impression, just like a beacon of life, illuminating my life, helping me to clear the fog of life and guiding me forward.

He started again. Start again. The flame in its eyes began to burn again. In a fiery red, he finally finished his masterpiece. At this moment, it has gradually become the initial flame, gentle and warm. Because you are happy, because you are happy, but you are really tired. ...

A well-known sentence.

As long as you don't regret it every day, don't regret it every day. I believe I will never regret it.
Paul's spirit will never go out, it will burn forever, it will become more and more red and fierce. ...

The greatest achievement of the novel How Steel was Tempered is to successfully create a typical image of a new communist Paul Kochakin, who was trained by the Bolshevik Party and tempered in a revolutionary bonfire and a difficult environment. He wrote a magnificent poem for the party and the people with his class stand of distinguishing love from hatred, lofty moral outlook, high revolutionary passion, magical vitality and iron will.
Paul is a self-conscious and selfless revolutionary fighter. He always puts the interests of the party and the motherland first. In the war years of blood and fire, Paul and his brothers galloped on the battlefield together, fighting bloody battles with foreign armed meddlers and white bandit troops to defend the Soviet regime, showing their dedication to the revolutionary cause and not being afraid of sacrifice. In those difficult years of healing the wounds of war and restoring the national economy, he devoted himself to peaceful labor with all his enthusiasm. Although he used to be an iron horse with blood, he didn't take credit and didn't consider personal fame and fortune. He just wants to do more for the party and the people. The party asked him to build the railway, and he went; The party wanted him to be a league cadre, but he went and was killed. He can even sacrifice love for the revolution. He loved Ada, but influenced by the gadfly, he wanted to "devote himself completely to the revolutionary cause", so he left without saying goodbye in the form of gadfly. After paralysis and blindness, all he needs in life is to continue working for the party. As he said, "all my life and energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind."
Paul is a staunch revolutionary fighter who has withstood severe tests in all aspects of his life. In the face of the enemy's torture, he is firm and indomitable; On the battlefield of bullets, he went forward bravely; In the struggle against diseases that devoured life, he discouraged death many times and created a miracle of "coming back to life". In particular, he struggled to climb the palace of art from the time of his death, showing the highest realm that a revolutionary soldier's iron will can reach.
Paul is also a hero who sees greatness from the ordinary. There is nothing earth-shattering in his resume. He always starts with the most common things. Faced with the heavy blow of the disease, he also had the idea of suicide. It was in his heroic passion to fight the disease that he contained the danger of "Left" infantilism. Paul finally realized that his behavior of not caring for his body could not be called heroic behavior, but willfulness and irresponsibility. Therefore, Paul is great and ordinary. He is an iron warrior who gradually matured in the fire of revolution, and he is a true and affectionate example.
Paul is also a typical autobiographical image based on the author himself. The author describes Paul according to his own life experience and real feelings. So Paul's touching story is not an artistic fiction, but basically a true story, which is more touching because it is true. However, the author opposes to regard this novel as the author's autobiography completely, because "this is a novel, not a biography". He concentrated the thoughts and personality characteristics of many similar figures in his contemporaries on Paul in a typical way. He said: "In this book, I am not writing about Paul Kochakin alone, but about millions of men and women who are searching for gold and fighting for their own happiness!" Paul's image is both autobiographical and sketchy. He is the most outstanding and typical representative of the socialist young generation.
Four major themes
How Steel was Tempered is an excellent novel that describes the growth process of new people and reveals their excellent qualities. When a British journalist asked the author why he named this book How Steel was Tempered, ostrovsky replied, "Steel is cast and quenched in fire. Only in this way can we become hard and not afraid of anything. Our generation was also tempered in such struggles and arduous tests, and learned not to be decadent in front of life. "
This title vividly summarizes the ideological content he wants to express; The growth path and ideological character of my generation.
The novel tells people through Paul Kochakin's growth path that only by defeating the enemy in the hardships of the revolution can we defeat ourselves, and only by linking our pursuit with the interests of the motherland and the people can we create miracles and grow into an iron warrior. Revolutionaries are tempered into steel in struggle, which is an important theme of the novel.
By revealing Paul's resolute character of daring to overcome any difficulties and hardships for the cause of the party and the people, the novel vividly tells the younger generation what the communist ideal is and how to work hard for the understanding of communism. What kind of life revolutionary soldiers should lead is another theme of the novel. What Paul said when he mourned the cemetery of his female comrade-in-arms, Valen, was a confession of his communist outlook on life and an exposition of the theme of the novel:
"Life is the most precious thing for people, and life belongs to people only once. This is how people should spend their lives; When he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of being mediocre; In this way, when he dies, he can say,' My life and all my energy have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind.' "
The theme of the novel can be summarized as follows: one's life should be spent like Paul Kochakin.
Five artistic features
How Steel was Tempered is an autobiographical novel. Many stories in the novel come from the author's personal experience, so it is more real and touching to read. However, the author does not stick to the facts of life, and does a lot of typical treatment of characters and plots. How the Steel was Tempered, like Gorky's autobiographical trilogy, has made an important contribution to the innovation of autobiographical novels.
The whole description of the novel revolves around the growth of the protagonist, with a compact and natural structure. When portraying the hero's character, people show his excellent qualities from different aspects. By describing how Paul views prison, war, work, friendship, love, illness and setbacks, that is, how to view revolution and personal, public and private, life and death and other major issues, the image of Paul as a steel soldier is particularly full, vivid and radiant.
