Creative background:
Haiyan is the last chapter of Gorky's short story The Melody of Spring, which was written in March 190 1 year. As the industrial crisis that broke out in Europe in the19th century quickly spread to Russia, during the crisis years from 1900 to 1903, more than 3,000 large and small enterprises in Russia closed down and more than 65,438+10,000 workers were dismissed. Coupled with the growing darkness of the czar's rule, the people can't stand it, the resistance is rising day by day, and the revolutionary struggle is booming.
Gorky personified birds in Melody of Spring, and added official titles and titles to some of them to satirize the representatives of various classes in Russian society and attack the rule of the czar, which could not be published at that time. Gorky wanted to publish it in Moscow's Courier, but it was rejected by the censor.
Gorky immediately sent the novel to Life magazine in St. Petersburg, which was also rejected by the censor, but its ending "The Song of Haiyan" was published separately in Life magazine in April of that year.
