Gorky was a Russian naturalist novelist and a master of the Soviet literary scene. The literary world once ranked him alongside Tolstoy and Chekhov as the "unsurpassable peaks in Russian literary history." Lu Xun and Guo Moruo regarded him as their mentor, as Lu Xun said, "Gorky is great, and I see no one to compare with him." He entered the literary world with an indomitable spirit and strength, bringing the healthy air of the Russian steppe to readers around the world.

Gorky's ability to observe life, his talent for shaping characters, and his unparalleled knowledge of the depths of Russia were all important factors in his gaining immense reputation.
