The pasting speed is really fast.

Famous Soviet proletarian revolutionary, writer, Bolshevik fighter.

Born on September 29, 1904 in a working family, due to the poverty of the family, he began to work as a child laborer at the age of 11, went to the battlefield at the age of 15, was seriously injured in the battle at the age of 16, was blind at the age of 23, paralyzed at the age of 25, and died on December 22, 1936, at the age of 32.

It took three years to overcome unimaginable difficulties to create the immortal masterpiece "How Steel is Made", and realized the ideal of returning to combat duty.

Growing up. At the age of seventeen, Nikolai Alekseevich Ostrovsky took the lead in the arduous work of building a branch line of the railway. On the railway construction site, many people have been killed by poor conditions, diseases and sneak attacks by bandits. Ostrovsky gritted his teeth and worked hard.

When the project was about to be completed, his knees were red and swollen, he struggled to walk, and he contracted typhoid fever, fell unconscious, and was sent back to his hometown.

Under the careful care of his mother, he barely survived. After returning to the factory, he worked while studying at a technical school. Injured and sick, unable to withstand excessive exertion, his health deteriorated, and he was sent to a nursing home for physical therapy.

After a slight improvement in his condition, he returned to Kiev and, together with many Komsomol members, rescued timber in the knee-deep, bone-chilling river water, and he fell ill again. At the age of eighteen, the Medical Accreditation Board issued him a first-class disability certificate, but he hid it and continued to ask for a job.

Nikolai Alekseevich Ostrovsky, former Soviet writer, strong Bolshevik fighter, famous proletarian writer. Born on September 22, 1904 into a working-class family. Due to his poor family, he began to work as a child laborer at the age of 11, went to the battlefield at the age of 15, was seriously wounded in battle at the age of 16, was blind at the age of 23, and was paralyzed at the age of 25, and died on December 22, 1936 at the age of 32.

His full-length work "How Steel is Made" is one of the best works of Soviet proletarian revolutionary literature in the 30s, and the book "How Steel is Made" was an unprecedented success and exceeded all expectations. Back in 1934, the book was translated into Ukrainian, Polish, Moldovan and Chuvashi. Letters from readers poured in like snowflakes.

** A monologue by the protagonist Paul Kochagin in front of the martyr's tomb in his hometown has become the motto of millions of young people: "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to people only once." This is how a person's life should be lived:

When he looks back, he does not resent the wasted years, nor is he ashamed of his inaction. In this way, at the end of his life he will be able to say: 'I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause in the world — the struggle for the liberation of all mankind.'

Experience: Ostrovsky's friends supported his literary work and helped him transcribe page by page. In October 1931, the first part of "How Steel is Made" was written and published in 1932. The second was completed in May 1933 and published in 1934.

When Ostrovsky first started his work, he was not equipped with assistants. His wife, Raisa Porfiryevna Ostrovskaya, went out early and returned late and was busy with work. Despite the unbearable pain and the fact that his body could barely move, Ostrovsky completed the opening chapter independently with the help of a lettering board.

In early 1931, when his mother and sister went to Moscow to join him, he switched to dictation. Every day, he needs to overcome difficulties that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Not only does he need to memorize the overall context of his work, visualize and detail his ideas, but he also can't forget the sentences he wrote and the words he used.

He usually spends his days in the middle of the night, with successful characters and beautiful words pouring out, and in order to grasp the fleeting inspiration, he can only sleep all night, reciting precious fragments in his mind. Every sentence in ** has been carefully honed by him.
