The author of "How Steel Was Tempered" - Ostrovsky, was born in a worker's family and suffered many hardships in the world. He joined the Communist Party at the age of twenty and became ill due to overwork. As a result, he became paralyzed and later became blind. He was tossed on the sick bed for nine years. However, during his illness, in the unimaginable predicament, he did not become discouraged. Instead, he used the pen as a weapon and literary creation as his own. He started a new job, started a new struggle, and wrote this immortal masterpiece with amazing perseverance.

In the article, the protagonist created by Ostrovsky, Paul Korchagin, also inspires thousands of readers.

Paul Korchagin, a blind and paralyzed man, bravely fought against the disease with his steely will and the encouragement of his relatives and friends in the face of numerous obstacles in life.

Paul is a poor boy. He lives at the bottom of society, oppressed and bullied, on the verge of hunger and death. However, he dared to challenge the unfair and humiliating social status and dared to rise up to improve his own destiny and that of the working people. With the education and help of Zhu He and other older generation Bolsheviks, he actively devoted himself to the struggle to defend the Soviet power. Paul's life experience is actually a process of challenging an unfair fate, challenging difficulties, and challenging his own disability and misfortune. However, how much suffering and blow can a person bear? In one day, he braved the hail of bullets and launched 17 charges against the enemy. He was suffering from typhoid fever and walked on an empty stomach to build roads in bitterly cold mud. He struggled to escape from death and lay on the bed suffering from all kinds of pain. After becoming blind, he returned to his hometown, just hoping to hear his mother's voice. However, his dear mother had turned into a pile of loess. Even so, until the end, he had to sublimate his experience into Spiritual wealth dedicated to mankind:

Paul is upright. As a teenager, because of justice, he dared to teach the scoundrels in the city;

Paul is smart and has good health. While in prison, he could seize the opportunity and easily trick the ignorant enemies into traps and avoid the clutches of the devil;

Paul was brave. He had just joined the army and galloped forward with a sword. Rushing, completely entering the spiritual realm of risking one's own safety and selflessly killing the enemy'

Paul is a strong and fighting man. After being severely burned on his head, with the support of his firm revolutionary belief, Paul miraculously survived. He came down to continue the war of resistance;

Paul is great. He fought life and death with death several times, and finally returned to his relatives and comrades with victory;

In study, we should learn from Paul’s spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and working hard;

In life, we should learn from Paul’s spirit of being diligent and enterprising and not afraid of setbacks. spirit;

In labor, we should learn from Paul’s hard-working and persevering spirit;

…

When we fail, we should Follow Paul as an example, analyze the reasons, muster the courage to start again;

When we succeed, we should follow Paul as an example, be serious, modest and prudent, and continue to work hard;

Some people may say that Paul is outdated now, and China has already entered a period of reform. Compared with Paul, we understand Bill Gates better. Appreciate him more, even worship him more. Others believe that Paul's will and quality are certainly worth learning. But after all, he is just a "screw" with no regrets. Modern society advocates the realization of one's own value and the full expression of human nature. Everyone may be a myth. This may reflect some value tendencies of contemporary youth from another aspect. It is true that under the background of the socialist market economy, there is nothing wrong with striving to live a prosperous life. However, is it necessary for people to pursue their own life ideals? Should Paul’s spirit still be carried forward? I think the answer is yes. Paul's spirit is not only not outdated, but also has greater reality. How can a person with unclear life goals correctly deal with setbacks and failures in life? A person without faith is often a confused and inactive person; a nation without faith is a dangerous nation. Only when personal struggle is closely linked to the great cause of the party can life be brilliant and meaningful. I think this is the profound connotation of "How Steel Was Tempered". Therefore, "Paul" will never go out of style. He is not just a person's name, he is a monument to the realization of the value of life.

This is a touching story. My heart seemed to have dropped a big stone in the water, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. I admire Paul Korchagin's brave and indomitable spirit. I hate it. There are many little aristocrats like Victor in the story. The shadow of Paul Korchagin always appears in my mind, encouraging me to be a strong and brave person like him.

Life In peaceful times for us, a little difficulty in life is no big deal. As long as you face it bravely, you will find that you have perseverance once the matter is over. Paul Korchagin’s spirit will always be worth it. I study.

The Spirit of Steel

Reflections after reading "How Steel Was Tempered"

"How Steel Was Tempered" is a book that makes people feel soul-stirring after reading it. It is an ode to heroes.

This book describes a legendary figure based on the Russian October Revolution - Paul Korchagin. The events described occurred during the historical period from 1915 to the early 1930s. Paul Korchagin is the central character that the author focuses on, and he is also the most successful image of a communist fighter in the book. Under the influence of the old Bolshevik Zhukhlai, he moved from spontaneous fighting to conscious fighting. During the battle, he understood the social roots of unequal life, and understood that in order to overthrow the old world, he must become a "brave and strong class brother" and a "steel warrior who fights resolutely." While actively participating in the great struggle to defend the Soviet power, he realized that only when a person is connected with the motherland can he create miracles. He once said: "I agree with revolutionaries who believe that personal things cannot be compared with the collective cause."

The author of this book, Nikolai Ostrovsky, explains this The title of this work says: "Steel is made by burning in fire and being highly cooled, so it is very strong. Our generation has also been tempered in struggles and hard tests, and has learned to be the best in life. Don't be discouraged." When creating the image of Paul, the author uses inner monologues, letters, and aphorisms to reveal the entire inner complexity and growth process of this image. Paul's image is the most glorious and typical representative of the young generation of socialism. Regardless of its ideological content or artistic form, this novel can be called one of the best works of Soviet literature in the 1930s. In terms of the power and depth of its impact on readers, it is also unique in the history of world literature. of.

At the same time, the "Paul spirit" created by Nikolai Ostrovsky has an impact on people that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Take our country as an example. Since the 1980s, our country has entered a new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization. The specific content of Paul's era has been very different. We are facing new situations and new tasks. There are also a whole host of new problems to solve. Real life no longer requires us to launch seventeen charges a day to capture a castle like Paul did, nor does it require us to build a small railway while suffering from typhoid fever by stepping on bone-chilling mud. But in the great march to build socialism with Chinese characteristics, Paul's spirit of selfless dedication for the progress and liberation of mankind; the kind of spirit that combines lofty ideals with every concrete action, is down-to-earth, and works hard. spirit; the spirit that is not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, perseveres, has the courage to forge ahead, and works hard; the spirit of endless life and endless 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.

"The most precious life of a person, life belongs to everyone only once. A person's life should be spent like this. Looking back on the past, one should not regret wasting one's life, nor be ashamed of one's inaction. When dying, one should be able to Said: My whole life and all my energy are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind." This is probably the most shocking and exciting paragraph in the book. I think Paul Korchagin’s famous quote will accompany me throughout my life, urging me to seize every second and every minute to do something that is conducive to human development and progress, and at the same time enrich my spiritual life.

When I look back on the past, I will not regret that I wasted my years, nor will I be ashamed of my inaction
