Social situation: Russia's liberation movement has entered a new stage of proletarian revolution, and the democratic spirit among students and other residents has gradually become active under the encouragement of the revolutionary class. Russia is in the period of industrial revolution.
Chekhov's novels are concise and compact, giving readers room for independent thinking. His plays had a great influence on19th century drama. He adhered to the tradition of realism, paid attention to describing the daily life of the Russian people, shaped little people with typical personalities, and truly reflected the situation of Russian society at that time.
The ridicule of ugly phenomena and deep sympathy for the poor people are two major characteristics of his works, which mercilessly expose the unreasonable social system and social ugly phenomena under the czar's rule. At the end of 19, Chekhov was considered as an outstanding representative of Russian realistic literature.
Extended data
Anton Chekhov is a world-famous master of Russian short stories, and a typical representative of prolificacy and versatility. Chekhov/Kloc-started writing at the age of 0/9 and ended his life at the age of 44. During his 25-year creative career, he alone published more than 1000 short stories. Chekhov writes more than forty short stories every year on average.
According to historical records, 1883, he published one hundred and twenty short stories a year. By 1885, his creative output reached a new high, and he published 129 novels a year. In our opinion, what an amazing number this is.
Chekhov's writing conditions are not good. His family was at the bottom of society, and it was not until his grandfather's generation that he got rid of serfdom through redemption. The reason why Chekhov wrote so many novels as soon as he made his debut, besides his high literary talent and unusual diligence, was largely forced by life. For a time, Chekhov's family lived entirely on his manuscript fee.
If you can't earn the manuscript fee, the family can't afford the rent and have no food. In order to get back the long-overdue payment of three rubles, he went to the magazine for the editor-in-chief, who mocked him. Living in Siberia has no money, so he can only sign a contract with the newspaper and borrow money from it in advance. Chekhov's major is medicine, and his main occupation is medical practice. His writing is carried out in his spare time.
First of all, he is a good doctor. He often braved mud or heavy snow to go to the countryside and cured many villagers' diseases. With his noble medical ethics and brilliant medical skills, he won the high respect of Fiona Fang Baili villagers, so that when he left the countryside for Moscow, the villagers who saw him off were tearful and reluctant to part, as if he left, people would fall ill again.
Secondly, he is a good writer. Because of his extensive contact with the bottom people during his medical career, he deeply understood the sufferings of the people, obtained creative materials, and wrote one novel after another close to reality. Chekhov was keen on charity and public welfare.
He became famous for his writing, and after his family's economic situation improved, he returned to his hometown to participate in the census and fight cholera, and raised money by launching fundraising and organizing charity performances, and successively founded three schools and a library. Chekhov's good reputation also brought him some troubles. A group of guests came to him and turned Chekhov's home into an inn.
Chekhov should not only take care of their food and shelter, but also accompany them to chat at their request. In this way, Chekhov spent less time on writing. When chatting, he will suddenly be absent-minded, suddenly leave, go to one side and write down a flash of thought or a detail in his notebook, and then go back to chat with the guests. At the critical moment of writing, Chekhov sometimes had to hide in the bathhouse to write in order to avoid unreasonable interruptions.
What makes people feel sad for Chekhov is that he suffered from lung disease when he was in his twenties, and he has been writing with illness and has been struggling with hateful diseases. Sometimes overwork, aggravation, and hemoptysis.
After treatment, my condition improved slightly and I continued to write. Chekhov said to himself, that's how he kept squeezing himself, and his writing achievements were bought with hard work.
