Reflections after reading "Childhood"
Maxim Gorky's "Childhood" is world-famous. On a very ordinary Sunday afternoon, I opened it. Emotions also rise and fall along with the lines of black Song fonts in the book...
The painful childhood life of the protagonist Alyosha moved me: his father lost his father at the age of four, and he followed his grief-stricken mother and kind-hearted mother. My grandmother went to the house of my grandfather, the boss of Xiaoranfang who was on the verge of bankruptcy, but she was often beaten severely by the violent grandfather. But his kind grandmother protected him everywhere. At his grandfather's house, he met many "quiet" relatives, including two selfish, greedy uncles Mihailo and Yakov who were desperate to separate the family, and two uncles named Sara. cousin. The simple "Little Gypsy" (Ivan) who loved Alyosha deeply used his arm to block the whip his grandfather hit on Alyosha every time, even though he would be red and swollen from the whip. But he was so strong that he was crushed to death while helping his second uncle Yakov carry the cross...
Alyosha spent his childhood in a typical Russian philistine family. : Greed, cruelty, ignorance; intrigues between fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives; constant quarrels and fights over trivial matters over property... But in this dark family, there is a hard-working, strong, and kind grandmother. She often told Alyosha pleasant fairy tales, and subtly taught him to be a person who did not want to surrender to ugly phenomena.
Alyosha’s childhood was dark, just like his family. There were too many cruel things happening around him, and sometimes even he himself couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. But fortunately, I have my grandmother, the spiritual support of the whole family. Alyosha also knew many other people: several tenants after moving into the new house, the third young master next door, and so on. Alyosha vaguely understood some truths from some "strange" behaviors of his family.
Compared with Alyosha, our childhood was splendid and colorful; there was no trouble or pain, and it was even more carefree. There are so many children who don’t even know what “beating” is because we have never experienced what it feels like to be beaten or whipped with a whip. That may be an unimaginable pain. Of course, in addition to this, there are very few greedy and vicious things in our lives such as intrigues between family members and fights over property. There will be no unthinkable "horror incidents" such as cruelly torturing an innocent person to death for no reason.
Oh my god, in comparison, our childhood is very different from Alyosha's. We live in a honeypot every day, soaked in sweet water, piled with golden money... How happy we are! We never have to think about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is enough for adults to worry about it, and it is not our turn. Z
But with these, we are not satisfied. We always want more. Because, in our eyes, it is so easy for adults to make money, it seems effortless. How naive we are. Indeed, we don't have to go to the "human world" alone at the age of eleven like Alyosha. But after reading "Childhood", we should regret the luxury we once had, we should no longer waste it, and we should learn to cherish it.
Then, let’s start from now. We no longer are extravagant and wasteful; we start to think about our elders and be considerate of them; we should start to satisfy ourselves and live a happy life. For the future, for the future, for the day when we go to the "human world".
My thoughts after reading "Childhood"
During this holiday, I read a novel "Childhood" written by Gorky. This is an autobiographical work based on Gorky's own experience. The first of a trilogy of novels. This novel reflects the writer's childhood growth experience from one aspect and depicts the picture of Russian social life at the end of the 19th century.
This book mainly tells the story of Alyo It tells the childhood life of Sha (Gorky's nickname) from the age of three to ten. The novel begins with "I" going to live with my grandfather with my mother, and ends with my grandfather asking "me" to go to the "human world" to make a living. My grandfather opened a family. However, as the family business gradually declined, he became stingy, greedy, imperious, and cruel. He often beat his grandmother and children and ruthlessly exploited his workers. Once Alexei ruined a piece of cloth because he dyed it. He beat him unconscious. The young Alyosha was also beaten unconscious by him with a tree branch. He also secretly engaged in loan sharking and even encouraged his helpers to steal things. The two uncles were also rough and selfish philistines, working all day long for Quarrels and fights over family property. In such a family filled with cruelty and hatred, young Alyosha experienced the pain and ugliness of the world prematurely. The scenes of his uncles quarreling and fighting over family property made young Alyosha suffer Shocking. This scene truly reflects the heavy living conditions of the lower class people in Russia and criticizes the selfishness and cruelty of the small townsfolk.
However, even in such a terrible environment, there is warmth and light. This is Alyosha's My grandmother and some other people lived another kind of life. My grandmother was kind, kind, smart, capable, loved life, tolerant to everyone, and had a broad mind like a saint. She was like a bright light, illuminating Alyosha's sensitive and sensitive life. Lonely heart, her influence on Alyosha is just as Gorky later wrote: "Before she came, I seemed to be hiding in the dark and sleeping, but as soon as she appeared, she woke me up and woke me up. It was her selfless love for the world that enriched me and gave me the strength to cope with the difficult life." His grandmother enabled him to maintain the courage and confidence to live in a dark and dirty environment, and Gradually grow into a strong, brave, upright and loving person.
Happy childhoods are all similar; unfortunate childhoods have their own misfortunes. "Childhood" begins with the young protagonist Alyosha's grandfather. The family's life experience is used as a clue to depict a group of vivid characters with distinctive personalities: there is a stern and irritable grandpa, a kind grandma, an uncle who likes to drink and make trouble, a beautiful and melancholy mother, and a dancing girl. "Little Gypsy"; there is the stepfather who raises his long leg to kick his mother, there is the green old woman called "Grandma", there is the lonely and persistent tenant "Good Things" who is obsessed with chemical experiments, there is the suicidal thief Uncle Peter, and a group of children The straw sandal war, the kind-hearted little tramp who went to the ice-covered island to steal wooden planks to make a living...
And little Alyosha lived among this group of people with a fragile and sensitive childlike innocence, experiencing The ups and downs of life. Love enriched him and filled him with strong strength to cope with the difficult life. Suffering made him understand that most Russians are like children, who like to amuse and play with sadness, and do not want to be the unfortunate ones. And shame... It was from this footprint that a literary giant emerged, and the world was enriched by him. "Childhood" also opened a small window for us to seriously understand a great nation.
After reading this book, I not only read the gripping storyline and gained precious spiritual food, but also learned the ingenuity and concise narrative style of writing characters. Gorky’s life taught me how to be calm I calmly face the crises and challenges of life; I have received a baptism of soul, and my soul is like the clear sky after the rain, fresh, clear and blue.

Reflections after reading "Childhood"
It's really embarrassing to say that I didn't like reading novels before because they were too long and took a lot of time. Therefore, every time it always ends at the end, and I have never read a full novel in its entirety. But "Childhood", a novel with more than 380 pages, deeply attracted me. I actually read it to the end for the first time, and it is no exaggeration to say that I read it with concentration. After reading the novel, I was deeply concerned about the fate of the protagonist in the book, the author's prototype of Gorky. I shed tears and shared his pain; I laughed and had fun with him. It can be said that this is a shocking and unforgettable book. A great book that inspires and inspires people, it is indeed a world-recognized art treasure. Let’s experience the protagonist’s growth process together!
Maxim Gorky’s father died when he was young. Because his hardworking and kind-hearted mother could not support him, she had to send him to his grandfather’s house to spend his childhood. In his grandfather's house, his grandmother was the only person closest to him. After that, he went through many hardships. He only attended school for three years. He entered the society at the age of 11 and began a life of self-reliance prematurely. He worked as an apprentice, porter, night watchman, baker, etc. When he was 16 years old, he came to Kazan alone and entered the "Social University". In the struggle against fate, he went deep into the lowest level of Russian society, came into contact with all classes and people, and experienced the hardships of life, thus constantly enriching himself. He gained his social knowledge and life experience, and the society ruled by feudal tsarism was very dark at that time. In addition, the dogma of Jesus was prevalent. People believed in the Virgin Mary and God, and made "crosses" on their chests every day to pray. However, Gorky did not Moved because he has his own beliefs in life.
Of course, during his period of frustration, he also had suicidal thoughts. That time, he bought a pistol to commit suicide, but luckily he missed the heart, otherwise his young and precious life would have ended. However, Gorky still defeated himself with his firm revolutionary belief and strong perseverance, and re-established his confidence in life and learning. He still loves learning and persists in writing practice and reading a large number of books after hard work. Moreover, he often wrote poems and other works. He began his novel writing career in 1889, and eventually became a famous writer in Europe, and was also familiar and loved by readers in our country.
Now that I think about my childhood, it is really a world of difference! First of all, I was born in a new society. The great motherland is prosperous and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Secondly, I have a happy family. Needless to say, I live in the beautiful Cuihai Garden. I also have teachers who work hard to nurture me and my parents love me. My grandparents take good care of me. It can be said that the young friends of my generation all enjoy unlimited care from society and family. Gorky did not, but he was so strong, brave, hardworking and enterprising, and dared to face all difficulties! Through hard work, he became a great writer who is deeply loved by people!
Friends! Let us remember this great name together! A model worthy of learning from each of us, especially growing teenagers - Gorky! Let us learn from his excellent qualities of being diligent in learning, good at writing, and daring to fight! This is when Gorky was in elementary school, his family was so poor that he couldn't even afford a new piece of clothing. So, he had to wear his mother's leather shoes, his grandmother's coat, a yellow shirt, and loose pants, so he went to school in a colorful outfit. Because Gorky's life is very difficult, he can only make a living by picking up garbage. At that time, poor people were looked down upon by others, so some children from rich families often laughed at Gorky. However, Gore never took it seriously. He studied hard and finally became a great writer.
Seeing this, I was deeply moved by Gorky’s spirit. I thought about our lives now. It is also our childhood, but our life is much happier than Gorky's. We have food to open our mouths, clothes to stretch our hands, and new clothes to wear every day. We should cherish it. Gorky was able to persevere and work hard in such a difficult environment until he succeeded. What about us? Under such good living conditions, if we don't study hard, we would be very sorry for the teachers and our parents. I think: on the way forward, there will definitely be some bumps in the road. However, as long as you grit your teeth like Gorky and never give up, you will definitely succeed. Gorky's spirit is worthy of our study, and Gorky is worthy of our respect.
These are what I found when I wanted to write before. I hope they can help you.
