Years of suffering went up in smoke. Because, after years of suffering, it has been a fire burning everywhere.
A face with nothing, scars become embellishment.

Gorky, the author of this book, was born in a woodworking family in Russia. He lost his father in his early years and lived in his grandfather's house. At the age of eleven, I stepped into the society and tasted the bitterness of life. Childhood is based on his childhood life, which can be said to be an autobiographical novel, reflecting the tragic situation of life and society at that time.
The hero of the novel is Alisha, who lost her father in her early years. In Alisha's young mind, darkness and fear occupied him.
In his life, a rude and selfish grandfather often beat him, and he knocked Aletha unconscious again, which led to a serious illness. Alesha's grandfather also brutally exploited workers and encouraged his helpers to steal.
From grandpa Alisha's misdeeds, I read meanness, greed, bossiness and cruelty, and I really realized Alisha's mood at that time. It was Grandpa's cruelty that left Aletha with many scars in his childhood.
We have an idiom in China: It never rains but it pours. Similarly, in Aletha's life, two people filled him with fear-his two uncles Mikhail and Yakov. The two brothers are very similar, selfish and cruel, but they are also intrigued. Aletha's father, Mary Ham, was framed by them when he was alive, and they also killed the merciful Zigang.
Living in such an environment, Aletha's heart is full of depression and fear, and he also longs for human love and warmth.
When reading this book, I can't help feeling unhappy and sympathetic, wiping tears for alessa's miserable childhood and feeling sorry for those innocent lives.
However, when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. So alessa has a grandmother who brings happiness and warmth to alessa in her life; Teach him to be an honest old laborer; There is also a simple, optimistic and compassionate mound.
They lit a lamp for alessa's dark childhood, strengthened alessa's heart, filled alessa with confidence and strength, and made alessa no longer lonely.
After reading this book, I saw and knew that there must be something called light shining at the end of the dark river. As long as I cross this frightening river, the light will shine and hope will be within reach.
