How the Steel Was Tempered "book review
This book, the book's hero - Paul made me spontaneously respect.
Father Paul was a teacher out of school, in a chance encounter, he became friends with the Dong Niya. Zhu Helai his work under the guidance of the assembly, to understand the Bolsheviks for the poor for liberation of the revolutionary party. He had reluctantly bid farewell to the Dong Niya, fled the home, joined the Red Army, became a staunch Bolshevik soldiers. But his physical condition under each condition Yu, maimed his right leg, spinal injuries, and growing dark, and finally paralyzed. But he did not not the despair, and began his writing career difficult, since there is a good start a new life.
I admire Paul illness intrusion, and are not afraid of defying the fate of the indomitable revolutionary spirit of frustration. All the time he was fighting for the revolutionary cause. Unfortunately, he contracted typhoid fever once, and he by his strong will, miraculously came back from the dead line, and again turning back toward the hot jobs.
Touched me most was the following story.
Cable network interface cards almost all areas of group organization of the whole battle. League Committee to the three people - Du Bawa, Pankratov, and Paul. These three individuals are selected personally by Comrade Zhu Helai. Rail repair work began, no one thought the conditions would be so hard, the cold autumn rain soaked the clothes of people, heavy, ice cool; around a desolate, hundreds of people sleep at night can only be broken in four cement house on the floor, wearing a wet muddy clothes but tightly packed together, as each other's body temperature warm. Morning, we drink tea, go to work, lunch every day is a prime briquettes as a flat soup and black bread. But the revolutionary cause of their rich and strong loyalty to the revolutionary unlimited perseverance, accomplished the task.
Life is most precious, life belongs to each person only once. Person's life should be spent, looking back, not regrets for wasted years, not because of mediocrity and shame ... ... "
"How should people live?" After reading this book, I had this problem the most perfect answer.
I read, read, Paul was resolute face, as if in my eyes, and he, an ordinary soldier, as much iron will. What is the driving force of his advance he encouraged it? Is not that great cause of communism. It is his tenacious fight with the disease dynamic.
Paul taught me how to properly treat the disease, how to overcome difficulties. Him paralyzed are able to fight for the communist cause; I, one in the party, bringing in people under the sun and rain children, how to be intimidated by some District difficulties it?
Almost no one Ganxin Ping Yong mediocre life, because even with the spring grass is also working to bring a little bit green, like spring back to earth Caijuan left his own shadow. But not everyone will be condensed to a piece of good steel.
How the Steel Was Tempered then? I believe everyone's mind it is certain that there steel flames blazing scenes. In fact, life is like steel! Nothing is born, "iron" into a "steel", there is only one way - Lian! Some people say that Paul was born a hero, in fact, in this world is not born a hero. Paul was able to become a hero, is entirely due to their own efforts - in the war-torn battlefield, face the test of life and death, he did not retreat; Blizzard's construction site in high winds, the face of the labor intensity of ordinary people unbearable and hungry, he did not fall; in the blind, the sick cases, the face of the manuscript is lost, the relentless deterioration of the body blow, he still did not yield, and finally the boy from a poor background, growing as a person with high ideals , noble character and tenacious style of communist fighters.
Life can be said to a tortuous and rocky path. The journey of life, you will encounter a lot of difficulties and the need to face the failure to combat the pain of not being understood, and so on. However, all this is temporary. Breaking through barriers, overcome difficulties, Looking back on the road, we will realize that it is tempering the flame of life. How many heroes, great men, are in the tempered the flame out, as is often said: "The blade of sword from tempering, plum blossom from the bitter cold." And Paul than we encounter in learning and life to the difficulty is trivial, and we have no reason to moan and groan, hesitate it?
A person has set a lofty ideal, creating excellent quality, and persistent pursuit of life goals at the right, he will not be dragged down by life, not be overwhelmed by misfortune, he would in the raging flames of suffering strong, mature, to love life, to enrich ourselves for a better tomorrow.
The bell has gone off in the 21st century, we stand on the threshold of the new century, looking past the hero complex, remodeling, "Paul spirit", meaning no trivial matter. To our great prosperity of the motherland, let us follow the example of Paul, to refining to life, embrace the future with optimism....
