The waves lapped at his feet on the scattered piles of stones, and the dry sea breeze from distant Turkey whipped his face. The shores of the harbor are irregularly bowed, and a steel-reinforced concrete breakwater keeps the waves at bay. The winding mountains stretch to the waterfront and break abruptly.

On the outskirts of the city, white huts line the peaks and stretch far away.

Paul and Daya went to Moscow and stayed for a few days in the archives of an institution. The head of this agency helped Paul get admitted to a specialized hospital.

It is only now that Paul understands that when a person is young and strong, it is relatively simple and easy to be strong; Nowadays, when life is like an iron ring that binds you tightly, you can still be tenacious, that is a glorious achievement.

A year and a half have passed since the night Paul was admitted to the archives. The pain he has endured over the past eighteen months is indescribable.

How steel is made.

How Steel is Made" The Banner of Idealism and the Textbook of Life "The most precious thing in man is life. Life is only once for us. This is how a person's life should be lived:

When he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inactivity—so that, at the end of his life, he can say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the emancipation of mankind.'" This exciting text, which has been cited as a motto by thousands of young people, comes from the former Soviet Union** "How Steel is Made".

The author of the book, Nikolai Ostrovsky, who was blind and paralyzed at the time, was written after three years on his sickbed. The story is based on his own personal experience. **After publication, it was warmly welcomed and highly praised by readers at home and abroad.

After that, he started the creation of another ** "Born of the Storm", but only completed the first part, and he passed away at the age of 32. "How Steel is Made" takes the life experience of the protagonist Paul Kochagin as a clue, showing a broad historical picture of Soviet Russia from 1915 to around 1930 and the arduous struggle of the people. During this period, the nascent proletarian power waged an arduous struggle against internal and external enemies and all kinds of difficulties.

The protagonist Paul Kochagin grew up from a worker's child to a proletarian fighter in the furnace of the revolution.

As a novel** that shimmers with a sublime idealistic light, the greatest success of "How Steel is Made" is the creation of the image of Paul Kochagin, a proletarian hero. He worked as a child labourer and was tortured and humiliated at the lowest levels of society from an early age. Later, under the influence of Zhu Helai, he gradually embarked on the revolutionary road.

After that, he experienced a series of life challenges, but whether it was the fight on the battlefield, the emotional twists and turns, or the grinding on the construction site, it did not make him fall, but made him stronger. Even when injuries and illnesses ruthlessly robbed him of his health and forced him to lie on his sickbed, he still did not give in to fate, but overcame all kinds of difficulties, picked up the pen, wrote with tenacious perseverance, and fulfilled his life vow in another way. It can be said that he embodies the most beautiful spiritual qualities of that era - the spirit of dedication to ideals, the iron will, and the noble quality of tenacious struggle.

This ** has also achieved a high level of artistic achievement. It writes mainly about narrative and description, interspersed with inner monologues, letters and diaries, aphorisms, etc., so that the characters are flesh and blood. The descriptions of the scenery, psychology, and environment in the book are also quite excellent, and the language is concise, beautiful, and expressive.

When we read this work, we can not only feel Paul's great personality charm, but also draw spiritual nourishment from it, and we can also learn from writing skills to improve our own level of literary appreciation.

Hope it works for you, if you're not satisfied or have a need, please ask.

Paul slowly took off his hat. Grief, great grief, filled his heart.

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 was able to say: "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." "Hurry up and live, because an inexplicable illness, or an unexpected tragic event, can interrupt life.

With this in mind, Paul left the martyr's tomb. Excerpt from Part II, Chapter 3

Appreciation Paul was a conscious and selfless revolutionary fighter who always put the interests of the party and the motherland first. During the years of the war of blood and fire, Paul galloped across the battlefield with his father and brothers, fought bloody battles to defend Soviet power, fought bloody battles against foreign armed interventionists and white bandits, and showed his willingness to sacrifice himself for the revolutionary cause. In those difficult years when he was healing the wounds of war and restoring the national economy, he threw himself into peaceful labor with all his enthusiasm.

Although he used to be an iron horse and stained the battlefield with blood, he was not proud of his achievements, nor did he consider his personal fame and fortune, he just wanted to do more for the party and the people. The party told him to build a railway, and he went; The party transferred him to be a cadre of the regiment, and he went, and he did it all at the cost of his life. He could even sacrifice love for the sake of the revolution.

He loved Lida, but under the influence of the "gadfly", he wanted to "completely dedicate himself to the revolutionary cause", so he came to say goodbye in the way of the "gadfly". After being paralyzed and blind, all he needed in his life was to be able to continue working for the party. As he said:

My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind. ”

An elderly cook walked in.

The boots are all rotten. Paul explained why he had come to the kitchen.

The cook looked at the broken boots, nodded to Odalka, and said, "She's a half-pulled shoemaker, let him do you a favor, don't want to die without shoes." ”

Odarka listened to the chef and looked at Paul again, feeling a little embarrassed.

I mistook you for a slacker. She said apologetically.

Paul smiled. Odarka looked at the boot with the eyes of a connoisseur.

We don't make up for it. - It's not a big deal. I have an old galoshoe in my attic, I'll bring it to you, don't freeze your feet.

Where have you ever seen such a sin? There will be a big freeze tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so you can stand it. Odalka said sympathetically.

She put down her kitchen knife and walked out.

After a while, she brought a pair of galoshes and a piece of linen. Paul wrapped his feet in cloth, baked them hot, and put on warm galoshes. At this time, he looked at the road maintenance worker's wife silently with gratitude.
