A long time ago, I heard that How Steel was Tempered is a good book worth reading. Not long ago, I read this good book.

I haven't read many books about revolution, but I have also dabbled in some, but this book has the greatest influence on me. The hero of this book is a young man named "Paul Kochakin". When he was twelve or thirteen, his mother sent him to school. Paul's family was poor, his mother was working as a servant for others, his brother was an electrician, and his father died very early. Therefore, going to school is a rare opportunity for Paul's family. But because Paul was unfair to the teacher, he was very angry with the teacher for making things difficult for him, so he made a series of revenge. Soon, he was expelled from school because of his helplessness in life, and his mother sent him to a restaurant as a waiter. There, he worked for more than a year, and it was also there that he saw the darkness of this society, the lowest level of this society. It's hell on earth. Then, with the help of his brother, he was transferred to a power plant and became an electrician. There, he met a sailor named Zhu. There, Paul came into contact with a series of new things, about league organization, party organization and revolution. A few days later, Paul accidentally got a pistol because he killed an enemy. In order to escape, he left his mother, brother and hometown where he grew up. From then on, he took part in the revolution. In the next eight years, he was keen on the revolutionary cause. Although it is only eight years, it is too insignificant for life. However, compared with some people's lives, these eight years are more precious than others who have lived for three lives. The disease troubled him again and again, and he overcame it again and again. Later, due to nerve injury, his lower limbs were paralyzed and his eyes were blind. But he still wrote a novella "Born in the Storm" with his own little life. For Paul, writing this book is a miracle. Because he only studied for three years. Before writing an article, there were always dozens of rhetorical questions, but after years of reading a lot, he accomplished a miracle for him. When this book was published, his life burned again.

Of course, this book is a little incomprehensible to many of us now, which is not difficult to understand. However, because we live in a peaceful era, this spirit can continue. How is steel tempered? Just like Paul, no matter how difficult and frustrated he was, he persisted in the revolutionary cause to the end. This is called perseverance. Of course, there is no war here now, but there will be many difficulties in life. Although it is not big, we still have to overcome them with spirit. I like a passage in the book very much:

"The most precious thing is life. Life is only once for everyone. A person's life should be spent like this: when recalling the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing; On his deathbed, he can say, "My life and all my energy have been devoted to the greatest cause in the world, fighting for the liberation of mankind." People should live fast and fully, because a sudden illness or tragic accident may suddenly end their lives at any time. "

Don't be afraid of life. It is like a spring. Strong is weak, weak is strong.

I was amazed at Gorky's courage: he recalled his dark, dirty and desperate childhood in such detail, even with self-deprecating humor.

Alexei, a little boy who lost his father when he was a child and lived in his grandfather's house, grew up in all the evils of human beings: violence, abuse, revenge and all kinds of nasty things. Like a dark corner, even the sun can't escape. Crime is rampant and spreads into a stinking river. Alexei, a three-year-old innocent boy and an angel, seems to have committed some unforgivable sins, offended God, and let God mercilessly throw him into this dirty smelly water in a rage, making him grow up in a situation full of absurdity and barbarism, which is quite self-defeating.

So, Alexei, a three-year-old boy, limped and began his search in the dark life. What can make us feel gratified is that Alexei, who died by himself, has a kind patron saint who has lived in such a dark corner for many years. Fortunately, it didn't darken her mind. The god she admired all her life made her have a childlike heart until her death. Grandmother appeared in Alexei's miserable life, bringing a ray of bright sunshine in the dark, illuminating little Alexei's life. Whenever violence and sin attack and try to corrode his pure heart, grandma will always appear at the right time and use God and all the bright and beautiful things to drive away the dark shadows. Grandma takes care of her grandson's heart carefully, hoping that he can grow up healthily under bad living conditions. When I saw that even though she suffered great pain, she still sincerely praised God and the Virgin Mary. When I saw her in a big fire, she calmly directed the fire. When I saw her accepting his wife's beating; When I saw her crying with some coins earned by her grandson, I was completely moved. I know that the greatest love in the world is not only maternal love, but also grandmother's love.

This is the first warm and brilliant sunshine I found in Alexei's dark life.

In fact, I was amazed at Gorky and myself at the same time, because in such a tearful masterpiece, I didn't naturally cry. Right? I became heartless. But when I read the chapter "Beautiful things", I was really moved. I think "good thing" should be a diligent and dedicated scientist. For various reasons, life became poor and I had to live in Alexei's humble hut. He is so absorbed in his scientific research every day that he has no time to pay attention to other people's gossip. Driven by curiosity, Alexei and Good Things became friends. The "good things" with high moral character instilled pure thoughts in Alexei and taught him to be a person who loves the motherland and will be used by the motherland in the future. However, this outstanding and lonely scientist was branded with all kinds of ugly names in the eyes of ordinary people. In the end, he had to leave Alexei's home alone under Catherine's expulsion, and Alexei was also saddened by this. Both Good Things and Grandma purified Alexei's mind, but the difference is that grandma's purification is based on nihilistic beliefs, and Good Things educates her with advanced ideas and knowledge. Under their careful care, Alexei holds great hopes and gratitude for this dirty society.

The second ray of sunshine I found is full of wisdom and hope.

I feel sorry for the "good thing". The writers here want to show the readers the ignorance of the people under the czar's rule in the19th century by shaping this image, and deeply criticize it. "This is a book that wakes us up", indeed.

However, this book brought me more moving, and after moving, it was a deep shock. It is shocking that there are such kind people in such a dirty society. They use their kindness to influence people around them and touch the world around them. Although he was beaten and scolded, he never complained. This is a noble soul, they are angels of God, and they are ordinary greatness.

Kindness shows the character and height of a nation!

Reflections on Robinson Crusoe

When I solemnly turned over the last page and read the story with twists and turns, I think I was really shocked by it. Robinson Crusoe was written by daniel defoe, who is known as the "father of English novels", at the age of 59. Robinson, the hero, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean with Gao Zhiyuan's instructions, and experienced numerous dangers in his thrilling voyage. Later, the whole crew was unfortunately buried in the Pacific Ocean, and only he miraculously survived and came to an uninhabited island alone. He got the enlightenment of life from the gap of despair and spent decades on an isolated island in an instant. He worked and lived on an isolated island, reclaimed wasteland, raised livestock, and produced rice and wheat. He kept company with loneliness year after year and overcame all kinds of difficulties that ordinary people could not overcome. He once fought bravely with wild animals and savages who ate human flesh.

In the story, the indomitable Robinson built a residence on the wasteland, planted wheat fields and raised animals to meet his basic needs with his own strength and some tools found on the abandoned ship. In this process, he also encountered many difficulties and setbacks and suffered. For example, his house with two walls took almost a year to build; When he planted barley and rice for the first time, half of these precious stocks were wasted because of untimely sowing; Robinson worked hard for several months in order to dig several cellars for storing fresh water. In order to make a soup pot, he racked his brains, tried various methods and failed countless times before he worked out the manufacturing method. However, all these difficulties were conquered by Robinson's perseverance and never giving up. Everything Robinson does on this isolated island embodies all his hard work, and he will be indescribable happy because of every little success. Whenever I see these clips, it's hard to describe my inner feelings with only one sentence "admire". I was really conquered by Robinson.

After reading it, I can't help but reflect on myself: if I live on an island, how many days can I live? One day? Two days? what can I do? Can you chop wood? Can you hunt and cook? I'm all thumbs even washing clothes by myself! Besides, how lonely it is to have no one to talk to! I'll suffocate! This shows how optimistic Robinson is! I think people should learn from his optimism that they are not afraid of difficulties, and live strong whenever and wherever, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, and never give up! We should be as ambitious, persistent and love our work as Robinson, create wealth with our own hands and win the final victory!

Although I am a boy, I have to admit that I am weak and incompetent. In my own life, it is difficult to encounter setbacks. Even if I did, my parents always supported me. However, in my happiness, I didn't realize that the care of my family is a great happiness. Looking at Robinson's experience, I can imagine his hardships on an isolated island and realize his indomitable spirit of adventure, which rekindled my love for life.

Life is like a painting. Some people describe the vitality of spring, the coolness of summer, the harvest of autumn and the hope of winter, while others describe the loneliness of spring, the anxiety of summer, the desolation of autumn and the sadness of winter. The color of a painting depends on the painter's own attitude towards life. Robinson's constant pursuit of life and his desire for communication all stem from his spirit of loving and advocating life.
