Bravery and the belief in victory often bring the battle to a victorious end. ——Engels

Engels, F. Friedrich Engels (1820～1895) one of the founders of Marxism, K. A close comrade of Marx and the leader of the international proletariat. Born on November 28, 1820 in Bamen, Rhine Province, Germany (now Wuppertal), into a family of textile factory owners. He studied at the Barmen Municipal School when he was a boy, and in 1834 he transferred to the Elberfeld Science Gymnasium. In 1837, his father insisted that he drop out of school and go into business. One year later, he worked in a firm in Bremen. At that time, Germany was facing the task of national reunification and democratic revolution. Engels was attracted by democratic political thought and contacted the Young German Movement. In the spring of 1839, the "Letter from the Wupper Valley" was published in the "Deutsche Telegraph", the organ of the sect, which exposed the darkness of the feudal autocracy and religious pietism and poured out his sympathy for the working people.

Engels was born in a factory owner's family in Germany. He liked to think since he was a child. One day, he asked his mother: "Why do so many people not have enough to eat?" His mother said to him: "Wait until you grow up to study it!" Little Engels took his breakfast and went to school. In the future, he would always bring I take some food to school and eat as much as I can when I get home. My mother felt strange, and one day she finally discovered the secret. It turned out that he brought all the food to his poor classmates. Engels told his mother truthfully, and her mother was very moved. She would make an extra portion for Engels to take with her. Young Engels' compassion made him a revolutionary leader of the proletariat.

In 1844, while Marx was in Paris, Engels visited him. The two lived together for ten days, conversing heart-to-heart and agreeing on all important issues. This meeting laid the foundation for their lifelong fighting friendship and great cooperation. They united and fought in political storms, learned from each other in scientific research, encouraged each other on the bumpy road of life, and fought together for 40 years. They are each proud to have like-minded comrades. Engels said: "Marx is my best and closest friend who has been with me for 40 years. The lessons he has taught me cannot be expressed in words." Marx said: "How precious is the friendship between us!" In order to make it possible for Marx to engage in revolutionary activities and theoretical research, Engels was willing to make sacrifices, engage in the "damned business" that he least wanted to do, and use the money he earned to support the lives of the Marx family.

After the failure of the European Revolution of 1848, Marx lived in London and Engels lived in Manchester. Although the two of them could not "live together, work together, laugh together", they maintained close correspondence. They correspond almost every day, and if one party is a little slow in replying, the other party will feel uneasy. Once, when Engels did not write a letter for several days, Marx wrote to him humorously and asked: "Dear Engels! Are you crying or laughing? Are you asleep or awake?" It was both a greeting and a concern. Their friendship was unprecedented.

The transformation from revolutionary democracy to communism. In September 1841, Engels went to Berlin for military service. He attended lectures at the University of Berlin, studied Hegelian philosophy, and participated in the activities of the Young Hegelians.

At the end of 1841 and the beginning of 1842, he wrote three articles including "Schelling and Revelation", criticizing the philosopher F. W． J． von Schelling, maintaining G. W． F. Hegel's dialectics and the achievements of the Young Hegelians in their progressive activities caused a sensation in the German philosophical community and also had strong repercussions abroad. At this time, although Engels was a democrat and an idealist in politics and world outlook, he valued revolutionary practice and the unity of theory and practice. In the actual struggle, he gradually realized the contradiction between Hegel's idealist philosophy and German reality, coupled with L. A. Influenced by Feuerbach's book "The Essence of Christianity", he began to transform into a materialist
