Edit the content description of this paragraph.
Paul Kochakin, born in a poor railway worker's family, lost his father in his early years and made a living entirely by his mother washing and cooking for others. He was expelled from school because he made up lessons at the priest's house and sprinkled ash on the priest's flour. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, his mother sent him to the station canteen to do odd jobs and was humiliated there. He hates shopkeepers who bully the poor, and he hates rich people who spend their time drinking and drinking.
After the "October Revolution" broke out, imperialists and reactionaries attempted to strangle the nascent Soviet regime. Paul's hometown, Shebetoka, Ukraine, has also experienced years of foreign armed intervention and civil war. The Red Army liberated the town of Shebetovka, but it quickly retreated, leaving only the old Bush Viktojuk to do underground work in the town. He stayed at Paul's house for a few days and told him a lot about the revolution, the working class and class struggle. Zhu was the initial leader of Paolo on the revolutionary road. On a fishing trip, Paul met tonya, the daughter of a forestry official. One day, Zhu was captured by the white bandit troops. Paul inquired about his whereabouts everywhere. On the way of the bandit troops escorting Zhu, Paul swooped down, knocked the bandit troops down in the trench and escaped with Zhu. Paul was sent to prison because of the snitch of Victor, the son of Polish aristocrat Lizensky. In prison, Paul endured torture and was strong and unyielding. A second-class officer mistakenly released Paul as an ordinary prisoner in order to welcome Petriu, the "big leader" of the white bandits, to visit the town. Afraid of falling into the clutches again, he didn't dare to go home, so he involuntarily came to the front of tonya's garden and jumped into it. Because Paul saved Niya on his last fishing trip, and she liked his "passionate and stubborn" personality, so her arrival made her very happy. Paul also thinks that tonya is different from other rich girls. They all feel hazy love. In order to take refuge, he agreed to tonya's request and stayed. A few days later, tonya found Paul's brother Arqing, and he sent his brother to Khartoum to join the Red Army. Paul worked as a scout after joining the army and later became a cavalry. He is an able man who dares to charge on the battlefield and an excellent political propagandist. He especially likes reading Gadfly, Spartacus and other works, and often reads aloud or tells stories to his comrades. In a fierce battle, his head was badly injured, but he overcame his death with tenacious perseverance. His physical condition prevented him from returning to the front, so he immediately devoted himself to restoring and building the country. He worked in the league, eliminated counter-revolutionaries and devoted himself to hard manual labor. In particular, the work of building railways is particularly difficult; Autumn rain, mud, heavy snow, frozen soil, lack of clothes and food, open-air accommodation, but also attacked by armed bandits and threatened by disease. During this period, his love with tonya was in crisis, and tonya's vulgar individualism disgusted him. When I saw her again when I was building the railway, she had married a rich engineer. When Paul was the secretary of the Youth League Committee in the railway factory, he had frequent contact with Lida, a member of the Youth League Committee. However, Paul resisted his feelings for Lida with the spirit of "the gadfly". Later, he mistakenly thought that Lida's brother was her lover, so he made up his mind to break off their feelings and lost the opportunity to fall in love with her.
At the end of the road construction work, Paul got typhoid fever and caused pneumonia, so the organization had to send Paul back to his hometown to recuperate. On the way, Paul was falsely reported dead, but Paul defeated death for the fourth time and returned to the world. After his illness, he returned to work and joined the party. Due to various injuries and selfless work, Paul's physique is getting worse and worse, and he has lost his ability to work. The party organization had to terminate his work and let him stay in hospital for a long time. While recuperating at the seaside, he came across Daya, a female migrant worker, and fell in love. While constantly helping Daya to make progress, Paul began to study tenaciously and improve his writing ability. 1927, Paul was completely paralyzed and then became blind. The raging disease finally bound the soldier full of fighting passion to the hospital bed. Paul once had suicidal thoughts, but he soon got out of the trough. This paralyzed, blind man with no writing experience began his heroic career-literary creation. Paul endured great physical and mental pain. First, he writes in a cardboard box. Six months later, the written manuscript was lost when a friend sent it back, and Paul was once depressed. Later, he pulled himself together, dictated by himself and asked someone to record it for him. With the help of his mother and wife, the novel Born in the Storm written with life was finally published! The iron ring of life has been completely shattered, and Paul picked up new weapons and started a new life.

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 is the proletarian ideal and how to work hard for it. What kind of life revolutionary soldiers should lead is another theme of the novel. What Paul said when he visited the cemetery of his female comrade-in-arms, Valen, is a confession of his materialistic outlook on life and also an exposition of the theme of the novel: "Life is the most precious thing for a person, and life belongs to him 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.
Edit the artistic features of this passage.
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, he also shows 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.
Wonderful sayings
Life is the most precious thing for people. Everyone has only one life. A person's life should be spent like this: looking back, 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 most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of all mankind."
works appreciation
The events described in How Steel was Tempered 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 image of the fighter in the book. Under the influence of the old Bolshevik Zhu, he moved from spontaneity to consciousness. He understands 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."
Paul always puts the interests of the party and the motherland first. In that era of blood and fire, Paul and his brothers galloped on the battlefield together, and in order to defend the Soviet regime, they waged an indomitable struggle with foreign armed meddlers and white bandits. In those years when the war wound healed and the national economy recovered, Paul devoted himself to peaceful labor with all his enthusiasm. His fighting spirit and desperate spirit show the lofty quality of the first generation of builders. In the process of building the railway, Paul's pankratov team "went ahead regardless" and worked at a "crazy speed".
Paul never knelt down and surrendered. He is always ready to give himself the heaviest blow. He has withstood all tests, as well as dealing with friendship, love, family and other issues, showing lofty ethical principles.
After Paul was paralyzed and blind, he was very upset and couldn't extricate himself. When the story developed to a very tense level, he had the idea of suicide. Suicide is tantamount to betraying the revolution-because of this, the muzzle of the pistol "stared at Paul's eyes with disdain", so he condemned himself with a ruthless and severe attitude and said, "Dude, what you usually say about being a hero is an empty talk! ..... Have you ever tried to beat this life! ..... Did you try your best to get rid of this hoop? Try to live even if life is unbearable. Make life more beneficial. Nothing is more terrible than being left behind. " For a blind young man named party member, all he needs in life is to continue working for the Party. He overcame the blow of tragic fate with strong perseverance and began the struggle to return to the team. Paul also practiced his life principle with his own life energy: "Life is the most precious thing for people, and life is only once for everyone. A person's life should be spent like this: looking back, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing; In this way, when he dies, he can say,' My life, all my energy. They all devoted themselves to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind. "This is a true portrayal of Paul's fighting life and a profound summary of his revolutionary optimism.
Explaining the title of this work, ostrovsky said: "Steel is very strong because it is burned in a fire and cooled to a high degree. Our generation was also tempered in the struggle and hard test, 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. This is why the name Pavel Colta King can be heard all over the world, and how steel is tempered can become a life textbook for young people. At the same time, this novel is one of the best works in Soviet literature in the 1930s, both in ideological content and artistic form, and it is unique in the history of world literature in terms of the strength and depth of its influence on readers.
The famous book How Steel was Tempered was translated into Chinese by Iraq and America as early as 1942. Paul's image still shines with indelible ideological brilliance until today.
Edit this passage.
The greatest achievement of the novel How Steel was Tempered is to successfully create a typical image of Paul Kochakin, a new industrialist who was trained by the Bollvik Party and tempered in the bonfire of revolution and hard 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.
