The author's life:

Lao She, 1899 was born in a poor family in Beijing on February 3rd. My father was killed in the street fighting against Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion, and the whole family depended on my mother's meager income of sewing clothes and doing odd jobs.

Brief comments on characters;

Xiangzi, once such a strong first-class driver, did not struggle out of his tragic fate in the end. So Xiangzi finally became as weak as other coachmen.

Xiangzi's knowledge and experience honed him into a different person-a completely opposite person to Xiangzi in the past-who learned all the bad habits, played tricks on the patrolman, maintained himself and became a driver who muddied along. Until the end, a simple, honest, kind and strong rural youth was reduced to a sympathetic gangster, who fell down on the street like a dog and could never get up again. Xiangzi is the epitome of the poor working people in the old society, and he reflects the hardships and helplessness of the working people in the old society.

The gist of the story is:

Wonderful passage:

1. He regretted taking a step. Camels-used to carrying heavy objects in their mouths-can't walk fast. You should not only walk slowly, but also walk very carefully. Camels are afraid of slipping. Splash and mud can teach them to cheat or twist their knees. The value of a camel lies in its four legs; As soon as the leg is finished, it's all over! Xiangzi wants to run for his life!

2. Maybe he thinks he is walking along the road; Direction, position, all at a loss. It's late at night, fatigue for many days, and fear of running away make him physically and mentally uncomfortable. When he came out of some roads, his steps were so smooth and slow that he gradually seemed sleepy. The night is still dark, and there is still some wet and cold fog in the air, which makes my heart feel even more slim. Look hard at the ground. It always looks like a hill on the ground, but when you put your feet down, it will be flat. This caution and deception made him more restless and almost excited. Cool sex doesn't care, look flat and walk down to earth. I can't see anything around me, as if the darkness of the whole world is waiting for him, step out of the darkness and then walk into the darkness; Followed by the silent camel.

Good sentence: 1 However, he refused to put them down again. Everything is in the sky, and the white camel can't let go!

2. Maybe he thinks he is walking along the road; Direction, position, all at a loss. It's late at night, fatigue for many days, and fear of running away make him physically and mentally uncomfortable.

When he walks out of some roads, his steps are so even and slow that he gradually seems to be sleepy.

The night is still dark, and there is still some wet and cold fog in the air, which makes me feel even more embarrassed.

I don't know whether I am moving forward or stopping. I only feel waves in my heart, like a fluctuating Black Sea. Darkness is connected with my heart, all the gloom, all the ups and downs, all the trance.

Reading experience:

After reading Camel Xiangzi, I benefited a lot.

I feel sorry for Xiangzi. He is kind and simple, and has a camel-like positive and tenacious spirit towards life. Because of the environment at that time, he became a walking corpse without soul, otherwise his life would be beautiful.

In today's society, there are not many people who are kind and simple like Xiangzi. Everyone is selfish and works hard for his own interests. As the saying goes, "Good people are rewarded". What happened to Xiangzi was basically caused by the social environment. If Xiangzi comes to us, his life will be wonderful!

After watching Camel Xiangzi, I learned how to be a man. Although the Xiangzi I mentioned has never been "successful", his spirit is admirable and his character is worth learning!

The book Camel Xiangzi has given us a lot of gains. We should put what we have learned into our lives and apply what we have learned!

How the Steel Was Tempered

The author's life:

Nicholas? Ostrovsky (1904 ~ 1936) is a famous Bolshevik writer in the former Soviet Union. Since the publication of his novel How Steel was Tempered, he has become the friend and model of millions of aspiring young people all over the world. 1904 was born in a worker's family. After graduating from primary school, the small church had to drop out of school to work because of poor family circumstances. 19 19 joined the Soviet youth league and joined the red army to fight against the white bandits. 1923- 1924 works in the Youth League Committee. 1924, join the * * * production party. 1927 paralyzed and blind due to illness.

Brief comments on characters;

Paul Kochakin, a typical image of a new industrialist trained in revolutionary bonfire and hard environment. He is a self-conscious and selfless revolutionary fighter, and he always puts the interests of the party and the motherland first. He wrote magnificent poems for the party and the people with his class stand with a clear distinction between love and hatred, lofty moral outlook, high revolutionary life, miraculous vitality and steely will.

The gist of the story is:

The novel tells people through Paul's growth path that only by defeating the enemy and himself in the hardships of the revolution and linking his pursuit with the interests of the motherland and the people can he create miracles and grow into an iron warrior. The novel vividly tells the younger generation what is the socialist ideal and how to work hard for it. The theme of the novel can be summarized as follows: one's life should be spent like Paul.

Wonderful passage:

1. Sadness, as well as all kinds of warm or gentle ordinary feelings of ordinary people, can be freely expressed by almost everyone, but Paul has no right, and they are imprisoned by the will that never slackens. But the closer the work is to the end, the more often these feelings impact him, trying to get rid of the control of the will. If he gives in to any of these feelings and lets them happen, the tragic ending will happen.

2. Steel is very strong because it burns in fire and is highly cooled. Our generation has also experienced struggles and severe tests and learned never to lose heart in life.

Any fool can end himself at any time! This is the most timid and easiest way out.

Put away your gun and don't tell anyone. Even if life is unbearable, stick to it, so that life can become valuable.

The leader's death didn't lead to the party's team being scattered. Just like a big tree, its roots are deeply rooted in the soil, and even if the top of the tree is cut off, it will never wither.

6. Take the time to live quickly, because an inexplicable disease or an unexpected tragic event will interrupt life.

Reading experience:

We should learn from his spirit: after experiencing a series of challenges in life, we will become stronger and stronger. Even when the injury mercilessly took away his health and forced him to lie in the hospital bed, he still did not give in to fate, but wrote with tenacious perseverance and practiced his life oath in another way. It has the spirit of dedication to the ideal, firm belief, iron will and noble quality of tenacious struggle.

I only have two articles here that I hope can help you.
