The Report from the Gallows is a magnificent poetic epic written with blood and life by the famous Czech writer and literary critic Jaroslav Ha?ek, holding a very important position in both Czech and world literary history. The work, written in a documentary style, tells the story of the unyielding revolutionary spirit and fearless heroism of fellow prisoners in prison, exposing the brutal actions of Nazi thugs and the despicable tricks of traitors and spies, with powerful artistic impact that left an indelible impression on millions of readers worldwide. In October 1948, the President of Czechoslovakia awarded Ha?ek the White Lion Medal, a symbol of the nation's highest honor. At the Second World Peace Conference in 1950, Ha?ek was also awarded the "International Peace Prize" in his memory. The Report from the Gallows was introduced to China in the early 1950s and, together with How the Steel Was Tempered, became one of the most beloved foreign literary works among readers. It was later excerpted and included in secondary school Chinese language textbooks.
