Features: The novel is set against the historical backdrop of the birth and development of the Soviet regime. Through the protagonist Paul Korchagin, a poor boy who is self-reliant, unwavering in his beliefs, strong-willed, bravely fights against illness and disability, and never gives up in his struggles until he ultimately succeeds, the story depicts how an ordinary worker grows into an proletarian hero. It portrays a grand and magnificent picture of revolutionary struggle. The invaluable spirit of heroic figures who represent the forward direction of a specific era should be pure steel and gold that cannot be tempered by fire, and should be a common treasure of all humanity.
