In a fierce battle, he was seriously wounded in the head and was sent to the hospital: after being discharged from the hospital, Paul stayed in the house of Tonya's relatives. He had a problem with one of his eyes and could not return to the front, but he immediately threw himself into all kinds of difficult work at the local level.

But the railroad was built on schedule, and Zhu Hemo, who had been promoted to a member of the provincial party committee, was y moved by their revolutionary zeal and said, "This is how steel is made.

"After recovering from the disease, Paul again forgot to put into the revolutionary work: in the work, he resolutely and a variety of non-mainstream ideas and "evil" to fight, on the comrade Dubois "degeneration", he was very sad, resolutely He criticized ......
Paul's health is getting worse and worse. 1924, the party organization had to remove all the burdens on his body, let him long-term convalescence. His eyesight was getting worse. While convalescing on the seaside, Paul met Daya - the youngest daughter of a working-class family: at Daya's home, Paul instigated Daya's revolt against her crusty father and led her to join the Soviets, and Daya and Paul married.
In 1927, Paul became completely paralyzed and subsequently blind. He was also once discouraged and wanted to commit suicide, but his strong revolutionary conviction brought him out of the doldrums again. Under extremely difficult conditions, Paul began to create literature, and in 1934, with the help of his mother, his wife and his comrades, his autobiographical novel "How Steel is Made" was finally published! Paul was so happy that he had a new revolutionary weapon - writing.
Excerpt:
Paul and Daya arrived in Moscow and stayed for a few days in the archives of an organ. The head of this organ helped Paul to be admitted to a specialized hospital.
Until now, Paul understood: when a person is young and strong, it is relatively simple and easy to be strong; nowadays, when life tightens you like an iron ring, it is a glorious performance to remain resilient.
A year and a half has passed since the night Paul was admitted to the archives. It is difficult to put into words the pain he has suffered in these eighteen months.
In the hospital, Professor Averbach told Paul bluntly that restoring his sight was impossible. In the hopeful future, if the inflammation could go away, pupil surgery could be tried. He recommended surgical treatment to eliminate the inflammation first.
They sought Paul's opinion. Paul said he agreed to do whatever the doctors thought needed to be done.
Death's black wings touched him three times as he lay on the operating table and the scalpel slit his neck to remove one side of his parathyroid gland. Yet Paul was remarkably resilient. Daya waited anxiously outside, and a few hours later she saw her husband as pale as death, but still very much alive and as calm and gentle as ever: "Don't worry, good girl, I'm not going to go to my grave so easily. I'm going to live, even if I have the intention to play with the prophecies of those medical authorities. Their diagnosis of my condition is completely correct, but to write a certificate saying that I have lost 100% of my ability to work would be a big mistake. We'll see."
Paul chose a path through which he was determined to return to the ranks of the builders of a new life.
Winter had passed and spring was in full swing outside the window. Paul had his last operation, and had finally come back from the dead, but was bloodless. He felt he could no longer stay in the hospital. He had lived for so long amidst the agonies of various patients and the moans and wails of the dying that it was more difficult than enduring his own pain.
The doctor suggested he have another operation, and he said, coldly and stiffly, "That's enough. That's enough for me. I've given a portion of my blood to science, leave the rest for me to do something else."
That same day, Paul wrote a letter to the Central Committee asking for help in settling down in Moscow, where his wife worked and where it was no longer useful for him personally to continue to be hospitalized everywhere. For the first time in his life he asked for help from the Party organization. The Moscow City Soviet allocated him a house. So Paul left the hospital, when his only hope was never to return.
The house, in a quiet alley on Kropotkin Street, was simple, but in his mind it was a luxury. When he woke up in the night, he often still couldn't believe that he was far away from the hospital.
Daya had been converted to a full party member. She worked very hard and despite her very unfortunate personal life, she did not fall behind the other advanced workers. The workers trust this woman of few words: she is elected to the factory committee. Paul's pride in the fact that his lifelong partner had become a Bolshevik eased his pain.
On one occasion, Bazhanova, traveling on business, arrived in Moscow and came to visit Paul. They talked for a long time. Paul told her passionately about the path he had chosen, and it was through this path that he would be able to return to the ranks of the warriors.
Bazhanova, noticing that Kochagin already had silver hair on his temples, said softly, "I can see that you have suffered a lot, but you still have not lost your unquenchable enthusiasm. What is more valuable than this? You have been preparing for five years, and now you have decided to write, which is good. But how will you write it?"
Paul smiled and reassured her, "Tomorrow they will send me a board with a grid engraved on it, made of cardboard. I can't write without this board, it will overlap different lines. I thought long and hard about it and came up with this idea of carving a space in the cardboard so that my pencil wouldn't write outside the straight lines of the grid. It was difficult to write when I couldn't see what I was writing, but it wasn't impossible. I was convinced of this. I tried for a long time, and at first I never could write well, but now I write slowly and carefully with each letter, and as a result my writing is quite good."
Paul got to work. He planned to write a middle-grade novel about the gallant Kotowski Cavalry Division, and the title came out without a second thought: 'Born of the Storm'.
From that day on, Paul devoted his whole being to the creation of this book. He wrote slowly, line after line, page after page. He forgot everything, and immersed himself in the characters in the book, and tasted for the first time the hardships of creation: sometimes those vivid and unforgettable scenes clearly resurfaced in his mind, but he was unable to express them with ink and pen, and the words he wrote seemed so pale and weak, lacking in vitality and passion.
The part that has already been written, he must memorize all of it word by word and sentence by sentence. Otherwise, once the clues were broken, the work would be hindered. The mother watched her son's work with apprehension.
In the course of his work, he had to recite whole pages and even whole chapters from memory, so that her mother sometimes thought he was crazy. She dared not approach Paul while he was writing, and only timidly said, while picking up the manuscript that had slipped to the floor for him, "Povlusha, you'd better do something else. I've never seen such a thing as you, always writing endlessly ......"
Paul laughed at his mother's disquiet, and reassured the old woman that he had not yet reached the point of complete "madness".
Comments This is a paragraph about Paul in the case of physical disability, blindness, literature as a weapon to continue to fight, writing by tenacity, but also the author of Ostrovsky's life is a true reflection. This spirit of fighting with fate and never giving up is the charm of the work. The vivid and humorous language sets off Paul's optimistic and open-minded character, and also enhances the infectious power of the text.
Gone with the Wind
Margaret Mitchell, an American writer, is one of the most famous writers in the world. Mitchell is only wrote a work on the world fame and a place in the literary world of writers, her only work "Gone with the Wind" upon its release has become the best-selling works of American fiction. Since its publication in 1936, Gone with the Wind, a romance of the American Civil War, has broken all publishing records at the time, and in 1937, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. It was then adapted into a movie, and even the movie became a classic in the history of American cinema.
Although the American literary world has always intended to minimize the literary value of "Gone with the Wind" as a popular novel, the fact that "Gone with the Wind" has survived for decades has earned it the status of a classic." Gone with the Wind fever continues in the United States and around the world. Twenty-seven years after the author's death, the book still tops the hardcover fiction list in the U.S., and the paperback version of Gone with the Wind has remained the ninth bestseller in the country. According to statistics, Gone with the Wind had sold more than 28 million copies worldwide by 1993, not counting the countless pirated copies. Gone with the Wind has now been translated into dozens of languages and is sold in nearly 40 countries around the world.
In 1939, Fu Donghua first translated Margaret's masterpiece Gone with the Wind, naming it Gone with the Wind for its fading and elusive meaning, and it has been popular ever since. The beautiful and brave Hao Sijia, the flirtatious and persistent Baird, the strong and tolerant Han Meilan, the elegant and cowardly Wei Xili - these names have haunted the minds of several generations for a long time.
Gone with the Wind is a must-read for women because there are two exemplars of women in this book - Hao Sijia and Han Meilan - who tell us that different women have different conquests, and that different women have different flavors, but all of them have their own distinctive flavors.
The classic flower of love that blossomed in the bloodshed of the American Civil War
One of the outstanding literary works of the 20th century
Gone with the Wind is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the post-war Reconstruction period of the 1860s, and focuses on the mainline of the heroine, Hao Sijia's love entanglements and encounters with her life, and focuses on the portrayal of the charming, intelligent and capable daughter of a large estate owner. Hao Sijia is a strong, greedy, cold, and indomitable female figure who fights for her goal by any means, and vividly reproduces the collapse of the American southern plantation economy from prosperity to collapse, the life of the women owners from extravagance to the end of the road, the slave-owning class from madness to provoke a war until the failure and demise of the slavery economy, and the slavery economy was finally replaced by the capitalist economy of the collapse of the slave society in the southern United States. While depicting the lives and loves of the characters, the book outlines the similarities and differences between the North and the South in all levels of politics, economy, and culture, with a strong epic style, which can be called a true portrayal of the turning period of U.S. history, and at the same time, it has also become a classic of love that has never failed.
Mitchell, the author, has made the book "Gone with the Wind" a high artistic achievement with his high artistic attainments. The characters in the book have distinctive personalities, and several protagonists are both contrasting and interdependent in terms of their personalities and morals, leading to a series of conflicts and many confusing suspenseful moments, which make the story move forward in a chain of ups and downs. The language of the characters is colorful and distinctive, and seems genuinely touching. This dramatization of the plot and the delicate psychological description of the characters organically combined to produce the effect of three-dimensional description, strongly attracting readers.
For a long time, "Gone with the Wind" did not enter the hall of literary studies, but this does not detract from its charm, and more to make it famous in the world is based on the novel adapted from the movie "Gone with the Wind", which won 10 Oscars in one fell swoop and became the first of the classic business card of the history of cinema, Vivienne Favreau and Gable in the movie "Gone with the Wind" in the image of the countless people in the mind of the real HaoSiJia and The movie was a great success and has become one of the most famous movies of all time.
The usual love to say some vulgarity of the white Reed as long as the face of Mei Lan has become very gentlemanly up. He said, Mei Lan is his life is the only respect, the only appreciation of women.
Mei Lan's petite body always gives a feeling of weakness, coupled with her face of quiet more to increase the obedience of the soft, but who did not think she would be so brave and strong, no less than Sijia.
媚兰是完美的，她不仅对思嘉抱有一种自始至终的信任与宽容，同时她的身上具备了他们那个时代那个地方一个好女人应当具备的所有品质，娴静、善良、温柔、贤惠......可以说她是南方人所信奉的主义的化身 ......
The passing of eternity
When I first read Gone with the Wind, I liked Sijia and wanted to be Sijia. I was impressed by Sijia's courage and self-confidence, and admired her fearlessness in surviving in a chaotic world. Later re-read "Gone with the Wind", love is still Sijia, however, but another noble woman - Mei Lan y yearning.
Mei Lan is brave, although there is no Sijia the kind of forward momentum, but the upper-class perfect woman has the bravery in her body fully embodied. In the hospital, she selflessly takes care of the wounded, bravely donates her wedding ring at the bazaar, and angrily criticizes Mrs. May when she scolds her for not letting Reed come to the door. These are times when she shows a strong will that surpasses even Scarlett's.
But the most important thing in the "Meilan spirit" is still goodness - pure goodness, the goodness of total commitment, the goodness that does not expect a return, and there is no doubt. Because of the goodness, also reached the point of rigidity, how the harm is impossible. When Sijia in the eyes of the condemnation of the crowd into the Wei family, she ran up as if no one else, embracing Sijia, "Mei Lan spirit" at this time has been the highest embodiment and sublimation.
Mei Lan is the embodiment of high society's most ideal noble woman, but the times of the wind and waves have destroyed everything she relied on, she can not resist. Only Sijia can ride the waves, rooted and sprouted, so Mei Lan can only serve as a foil to the green leaves, quietly bloom and die. Mei Lan's death symbolizes the "eternity" of the old era and the "golden age" of people's memories, which will disappear with her in the river of history and be slowly forgotten.
Longing for Meilan may be the deepest part of the human heart, the eternal yearning for the banished Eden. (Zhao Zihan)

A Woman's Dignity and Love
-Reading Jane Eyre
In the history of literature, there are many classics that will be immortalized, but not many works that can enter into people's souls as y as Jane Eyre, which attracts thousands of readers and influences people's spirituality with an irresistible beauty, and even influences their whole life, even for some people. There are not many works.
Jane Eyre is a long novel with the color of self-transference, which explains the theme: human value = dignity + love.
Jane Eyre's author, Charlotte. Bront? and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, were sisters. Although the two live in the same social, family environment, but the character is very different, Charlotte. Bront? appears to be more gentle, more innocent, more like to pursue some beautiful things, although her family is poor, lost her mother's love since childhood, father's love is also very little, plus her short stature, appearance is not beautiful, but perhaps it is such a soul deep deep very deep inferiority complex, reflecting in her character is a very sensitive self-esteem, self-esteem as a compensation for the inferiority of her innermost self. She depicted Jane. Love is also an unattractive, short woman, but she has extremely strong self-esteem. She was determined to pursue a bright, holy, beautiful life.
Jane. Ai survived in a parents died, the environment of the fence, from childhood to bear with the same age is not the same treatment, aunt's dislike, cousin's contempt, cousin's insults and beatings ...... This is a child's dignity is mercilessly trampled, but perhaps it is because of all this, in return for Jane Eyre's infinite confidence and strength. But perhaps it was all this that returned Jane Eyre's boundless confidence and strength of spirit, an inner strength of character that could be overcome.
In front of Rochester, she never felt inferior because she was a lowly governess, but thought they were equal. Just because she was a servant, she should not be denied the respect of others. It is also because of her integrity, nobility, purity, the heart is not polluted by the secular society, so that Rochester for the shock, and regarded her as a can and his spiritual equality of conversation, and slowly fell y in love with her. His sincerity, touched her, and she accepted him. And on the day of their marriage, Jane Eyre realized that Rochester already had a wife. Eyre learned that Rochester already had a wife, she felt that she had to leave, and she said this, "I will obey the laws that God has issued for the world to recognize, I will hold fast to the principles that I accepted when I was sober and not when I was mad as I am now", "I will hold fast to this position ". This is the reason why Jane Eyre tells Rochester that she must leave, but inwardly, something deeper is that Jane Eyre realizes that she has been deceived, her self-esteem has been teased, because she is y in love with Rochester, and what woman can bear to be deceived by the one whom she trusts the most, and who is the closest to her? Jane Eyre withstood, and also made a very rational decision. Surrounded by such a very powerful love, under the temptation of a beautiful, rich life, she still insisted on her dignity as an individual, which is the most spiritual charm of Jane Eyre.
The novel designs a very bright ending--although Rochester's estate is destroyed and he himself becomes a cripple, we see that it is such a condition that Jane Eyre is no longer conflicted between her dignity and her love, but at the same time is satisfied-- she is married to Rochester. -she was dignified and loving at the same time when she married Rochester.
The novel tells us that the best life of a human being is human dignity plus love, and the ending of the novel arranges such a life for the heroine. Although I think this ending is too perfect, and even this kind of success itself is a sign of superficiality, I still respect the author's ideal of this kind of good life - that is, dignity and love, after all, in today's society, to realize the formula of human value = dignity + love is often inseparable from the help of money. People are crazy enough to seemingly drown love for money and status. Choosing between being poor and being rich, and choosing not to love between loving and not loving. Few people will abandon all for love and character as Jane did, and do so without a second thought. Jane Eyre shows us is a kind of simplification, is a kind of return to simplicity, is a kind of pursuit of the feeling of wholeheartedly giving, is a kind of simplification of feelings regardless of gain and loss, it is like a glass of ice water, purify every reader's mind, and at the same time, cause readers, especially female readers of the **** Ming.

[Synopsis]
Don Quixote was a poor gentleman in La Mancha, Spain. He was fifty years old, "thin, emaciated", loved to read chivalric novels, full of some magic, martial arts, war, love, pain, and other ridiculous stories. He was also very pedantic and thought that what was written in the books was true. So, he wanted to be a knight-errant, "to destroy all atrocities, to undertake all kinds of hardships and dangers, and in the future, when he had accomplished his work, he could be famous for ages". He found a set of broken armor handed down from his ancestors, and wiped and wiped, and when the face armor was broken, he patched one with hard paper. His family had a skinny horse, he gave it a nice name "Incompetent steed rare", meaning "was an incompetent horse, but now is the first among horses". According to the knight's custom, besides the famous horse, he also chose a man of his choice. He chose a peasant girl from a neighboring village, Aldonza Lorenzo. He named her Dulcineni, which means "sweet and gentle". He made a lance and carried a shield on his arm, just like a knight. He went out three times to fight. He had all sorts of encounters and made a lot of jokes.
The second time Don Quixote went out as a ranger was after fifteen days. He persuaded a short, fat, bearded peasant Sancho Panza to be a servant. Don Quixote allowed him to be made governor of the island in the future. Sancho's family was very poor and he wanted to go out and try his luck, and since he was earning money as a servant, he agreed. So Sancho rode a family mule, followed by Don Quixote's thin horse, and set off together.
When Don Quixote returned home, he had a high fever and lay for six days, unable to get up. At last he was dying. Finally, he came to his senses and said to his family and friends gathered around him; "I used to read those knightly novels all day and all night, and read them to the point of delirium; now I feel that my heart is clear, and I understand clearly. Now that I know that those books are all nonsense, I hate that it is too late for me to repent. He said that "the knight novels have been abhorred", and urged his niece to "marry a man who has never read the knight novels", or even more to disinherit her property, and then he died.
