An idol in my heart.

The idol in my heart is the famous hero Paul Kochakin, he is the protagonist of the famous book "How Steel is Made", this book takes Paul's life as the main line, tells the deeds of an outstanding party member, the reason why this book can be immortal and enduring, is because it eulogizes the confidence and courage of people to continue to pursue peace, and it makes us future generations applaud its value!

Referring to this book, we cannot but mention that the author of this book, Nikolai Ostrovsky, is Russian, an ordinary worker, a soldier of the Red Army, a grassroots cadre of the Komsomol. Born in Ukraine in 1904. "How Steel is Made" is not his autobiography**, but it does have a lot of plot based on his own experience.

Like the protagonist Paul, he was poor and out of school when he was young, worked as a small worker, participated in the Red Army, was wounded, and later became blind and paralyzed. In a desperate situation, he was unwilling to eat, drink, breathe, and wait for death, so he picked up the only ** that could still be used - the pen, no, it is not accurate to say that, because later he couldn't even hold the pen, but relied on dictation, asked relatives and friends to write down, lasted three years, overcame unimaginable difficulties, created this immortal masterpiece, and realized the ideal of returning to combat posts.

How Steel is Made" is a popular read, and when I read it, I was often moved to tears by Nikolai's seemingly plain but connotative sentences. I read it over and over again, and I couldn't rush to understand how events developed and how they ended for the sake of twists and turns in the plot. I already know the development and outcome of events.

I have read this work again and again, and knowledge because it resonates strongly with me, violently** shakes my heart, and gives me infinite spiritual strength.

For more than half a century, how many young people have been educated and inspired by it. Like heroes such as Liu Hulan, Dong Cunrui, Huang Jiguang, Lei Feng, and Jiao Yulu, Paul Kochakin is revered and loved by us. His famous quote:

The most precious thing for a human being is life. There is only one life for everyone. This is how a person's life should be lived:

Looking back, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of being vile and vulgar; On his deathbed, he added: "My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of all mankind." This phrase has been adopted by me as my life motto.

Indeed, as Paul said, we should look back when we are older, and not regret that we wasted our time, and not be ashamed of our inaction, and if we do, then I think we will also become qualified heroes.

Aren't you chasing stars? Then take Paul as your idol, only such a star will make us realize the true meaning of life, only such a star will not let you waste your time, only such a star will let you bravely impact the ...... towards the goal
