A Good Soldier is a novel written by Hasek. What is the writing background? How to appreciate this book?

Writing background: 1620 After the Battle of Baishan, the Czech Republic entered a "dark age" of 300 years. The people oppressed by foreigners have formed a tortuous and tenacious resistance through ridicule, humor and satire in the long-term struggle. Shuaike of Hasek is a special representative of the Czech people's resistance to foreign rule, the representative of the Czech people's resistance to national oppression and unjust war, and they have cultivated and grown up in a specific weak period for hundreds of years.

19 1 1 year, Austria-Hungary held parliamentary elections, and Hasek once claimed to form a political party. His "Handsome Soldiers" was written in 192 1, but the creativity and character design of the novel should be said to originate from 19 1.

Appreciation of the Works: A Simple Army can be said to be a historical novel, because it describes the process of the demise of the oldest dynasty in modern European history-the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This book is regarded as children's literature, mainly because it is interesting. Shuaike, a good soldier, looks silly, but he played the ruling class of the society at that time through his own behavior. However, the significance of this book lies in its realistic criticism. Through exaggeration, the author reveals the cruelty of the upper class of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time, the corruption and chaos of the army and the fatuity and incompetence of the emperor.

Based on the experience of ordinary soldier Shuaike in the First World War, the novel profoundly exposes the brutality and autocracy of the rulers of Austria-Hungary and the decadence of the army. Rape and plunder the people, oppress the officers and men, and the novel successfully creates an image of ordinary Czech soldier Shuaike who is closely related to the people. His wisdom, strength and spirit of spontaneous resistance echoed in people's hearts. Shuaike is kind and brave, humorous and expressionless, seemingly ordinary, but also a bit "stupid" and funny. But he is good at using folk proverbs and jokes, copying the boss's slogan, dealing with a man as he deals with you, waiting for an opportunity to attack the reactionary rulers skillfully. Everywhere I went, it turned upside down, which made the order of the reactionary regime in a mess, made the reactionary ruling machine unable to move, and showed extreme hatred for the enemy and deep sympathy and care for the people ruled by foreigners.
