Features: This book is a long novel written by H. Ostrovsky, a severely disabled blind writer from the former Soviet Union, based on his personal experiences. It reflects the struggles of young people in the 1920s and 1930s participating in establishing and consolidating the Soviet regime and engaging in the fervent fight to rebuild the national economy. The protagonist, Pavel Korchagin, suffers severe injuries in the struggle, becomes completely paralyzed, and loses his sight. To return to the position of building the nation, he studies hard, reads a large number of literary works, gradually improves his writing skills, and finally writes an emotionally moving long story, continuing to make outstanding contributions to the people. The indomitable spirit of perseverance of the novel's protagonist remains highly significant to this day. This book was translated by Mr. Wang Zhichong, a disabled person who learned Russian through self-study. His spirit of tenacious struggle in adversity is equally touching.
