Childhood" is the work of the famous Soviet writer Gorky. Buried Duanzhou is the first part of the autobiographical trilogy created by the author based on his own experience (the other two are "In the World" and "My University"). "Childhood" tells the author's painful childhood past.

In a family full of cruelty and hatred, he experienced the pain and ugliness of the world prematurely at an early age. ** portrayed the greedy, stingy, tyrannical and cruel grandfather, the generous, kind, intelligent and capable grandmother, but also shaped the simple little Cigang, the upright old worker Grigory, and the intellectual "good things" dedicated to science, which made the owner of the ** Burning Pi Gong maintain the courage and confidence to live in a dark and dirty environment, and gradually grow into a mature person.

The main content of "Childhood":

After the death of his father, the little protagonist Alyosha lived with his mother in his grandfather's house. During this period, he was loved and cared for by his grandmother, influenced by the beautiful fairy tales told by his grandmother, and at the same time, he also witnessed the selfishness and greed of his two uncles fighting over the family property and fighting for the family property. This real-life existence of good and evil, love and hatred left a deep impression on his young mind.

Alyosha spent his childhood in this "suffocating, small world full of terrible scenes."

"Childhood" is the first in a trilogy of autobiographical ** written by the former Soviet writer Maxim Gorky based on his own experiences (the other two are "In the World" and "My University").

The work tells the childhood life of Alyosha (Gorky's milk name) from the age of three to ten, vividly reproduces the living conditions of the lower class people in the former Soviet Union in the seventies and eighties of the 19th century, and writes Gorky's understanding of suffering, his unique views on social life, and a constant desire and strength surging between the lines.

The protagonist in ** also lost his father at the age of three, and was brought to his grandfather's house by his mother and grandmother. My grandfather was a rough and selfish little dyer, but he was on the verge of bankruptcy. And the two uncles were the same rough and selfish philistines, and even their children followed this ethos.

Alyosha was abused in such a family: her grandfather often beat her grandmother and children, and once she beat Alyosha unconscious, and she became seriously ill.

In such an ugly society, we have to worry about whether Alyosha's soul will also be defiled? But fortunately, the world is not entirely ugly, and there are still good and upright people around him, who give Alyosha confidence and strength, so that he can see light and hope, and believe that the darkness will eventually pass and the future will belong to the light. The most important person in his life was his grandmother, who sent honey to Alyosha's heart.

In the works, the grandmother is the most kind and humane image, she always uses her warmth to give Alyosha the seeds of love, the seeds germinate and grow into towering trees, with the protection of wings, Alyosha's world will no longer be left to the wind and rain. His grandmother soothed his wounds, and it was Grigory, the elder worker, who really taught him to be an upright man. Of course, the kind, optimistic, and compassionate "Little Tsgang" also taught Alyosha how to face the difficulties of life, but he was killed by his two uncles.

It is precisely with his unique feelings and skillful artistic skills of a proletarian writer that Gorky succeeds in reproducing the difficult journey of Alyosha as a new generation from awakening to growth based on his own personal experience.

Written in 1931, "Childhood" covers a cross-section of Gorky's life during his childhood, from the age of three to ten.

After Gorky lost his father at the age of three, he was brought to his grandfather's house by his mother and grandmother. My grandfather was a small dyeer who was on the verge of bankruptcy. He was hot-tempered, greedy, and selfish; The two uncles were also rough and selfish people, and even the third generation was affected very badly.

The image of Gorky in "Childhood" is a representative of this new generation, and although the whole work is written about the painful past, it is full of bright optimism.
