Features: Dear little friends: Hello! Today, Sister Ju Ping will introduce to the children the famous Russian writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev and his masterpiece Fathers and Sons. Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1884), a renowned 19th-century Russian writer, was an outstanding and talented artistic master. He depicted the vast social life of Russia, created vivid artistic figures, and revealed the noble souls of the people. Through his artistic treasures, he developed Russian Realist literature. Fathers and Sons portrays the theme of conflict between parents and children. Bazarov represents the young generation of the 1860s—radical liberal aristocrats who are old-fashioned. Pavel is stubborn, believes in aristocratic liberalism, and holds a grudge against the rebellion of the young. The conflict between fathers and sons is vividly illustrated in the opposition between Pavel and Bazarov. As a result, the author portrays the image of the "new man" of the era in Bazarov. Little friends, now let's read together the classic literary masterpiece Fathers and Sons!
