In order to study, he endured humiliation. 10 years old, working as an apprentice in a shoe store. When he has no money to buy books, he borrows books everywhere. At that time, preschool children were actually slaves: shopping in the street, making stoves, cleaning the floor, washing vegetables and taking care of children ... from morning to half an hour every day. After a hard day, I insist on reading with a homemade lamp.
Gorky, the proprietress, studies and looks for books in the attic. When she found them, she tore them up. I was beaten by my boss's wife for studying. Gorky can endure anything, even torture, in order to study. He said, "If someone suggested to me,' Go to the square and hit you with a stick!'" "I think I can accept this condition."
2. There are too many people
Gorky got lost while traveling. In the evening, he went to a small village on the border of China. It is snowing all over the sky. He was too cold to stand up, so he knocked on the farmer's door and asked for accommodation.
An old lady asked loudly in the room, "Who are you?"
Gorky said, "Alexei Macsimovici is very strange. Peter Skoff! "
"There are too many people!" The old lady slammed the newly opened door and simply refused.
3. Yell at the boss
Gorky's family was poor when he was a child, so he had to go to work to help the family do long-term work. He often studies in his spare time, but sometimes he is so fascinated by reading that he is found out and suffers a lot.
On one occasion, Gorky read a book while boiling water. Gorky didn't notice that the water in the kettle was dry. Finally, he burned a big hole in the kettle.
The hostess was so angry that she grabbed a big wooden stick and beat Gorky, scolding him while hitting him, so that she had to call a doctor to see a doctor. Gorky's body was black and blue, with blood oozing from some places and wooden thorns in his meat. The doctor pulled out twelve wooden thorns from his back and encouraged Gorky to report with indignation. The hostess was afraid at this time. She was afraid that Gorky would sue her for abuse.
Immediately, he changed his poor face and said, "Son! As long as you don't report me, I will agree to whatever conditions you ask. " Gorky said to the hostess. As long as you allow me to study after work, I won't tell on you. "The hostess reluctantly agreed. In this way, Gorky has a glimmer of hope in every cloud, and at the expense of suffering, he has got the right to study in his spare time.
4. Stalin's favorite
Gorky returned to the Soviet Union on 1933 and was visited and surrounded by secret police. Even his daily necessities, such as Stalin and members of the Politburo, are the responsibility of the secret police.
Celebrating Gorky's 40 years of creation is very prosperous. Stalin ordered cities, research institutes, streets and so on to be named after Gorky.
Someone told Stalin trembling that the Moscow Art Theatre was founded by Chekhov. Stalin replied: "It doesn't matter. Gorky is a useless person, and we must tie him up in the party. "
Gorky accepted these gifts, so he didn't have to be afraid of criticism. The government forbade people to criticize him. Under the auspices of Stalin, the literary world began to worship Gorky.
5. Keep this book.
Gorky, a world writer, has a deep affection for books and loves them like life. Once, his room caught fire. The first thing he picked up was a book, and nothing else was considered.
He almost burned to death to save the book. He said: "Books enlighten my wisdom and soul and help me stand up in the muddy pond. If it weren't for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be drowned by stupidity and filth. "
