Features: Mother holds a very important position in the history of Russian and world literature, and is also one of the most influential foreign literary works in China. It was selected and included in middle school Chinese textbooks after the founding of New China. After reading the manuscript of Mother, Lenin fully affirmed its realistic significance, calling it "a very timely book." 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 "unattainable peak" in the history of Russian literature. Lu Xun and Guo Moruo regarded him as their mentor, as Lu Xun said: "Gorky is great, I think I am comparable to him."
