Features: Dear little friends: Hello! Today Sister Ju Ping is introducing you to the novel "The Captain's Daughter" by the famous Russian writer and poet Pushkin. It tells the following story: The noble young man Peter takes his servant Shavrich to serve in the army. He travels by carriage and encounters a blizzard on the way, gets lost, and is taken to an inn by a stranger. In the state, Peter sees the stranger is cold and gives him one of his rabbit fur coats. This man is Pugachev. After Peter arrives in Orenburg, he is assigned to the White Mountain Fortress by the general. There, he falls in love with the captain's daughter, Martha. Soon after, Pugachev's rebel army captures the White Mountain Fortress and executes the captain. After Pugachev's defeat, Peter is released for treason. Shortly after, he marries the captain's daughter. In this novel, Pushkin praises and admires the peasant rebel leader Pugachev, portraying him as a confident, optimistic, kind, freedom-loving, and beloved-by-the-people hero. At the same time, he also condemns the autocracy and cruelty of the Tsar, which was very bold at the time. I believe the little friends must be captivated by the story of "The Captain's Daughter," so let's read this book together!
