Features: The Soviet classic novel Comrade Sholokhov has been introduced to China for over sixty years. The legendary hero Sholokhov's deeds have influenced the growth of several generations of Chinese people. This is a biographical novel based on a real person. In 1919, to crush the newborn Soviet government in its cradle, foreign intervention forces backed the former Russian Navy Admiral Kolchak, Denikin, and others, encircling Moscow from all sides. At this critical moment, the 25th Division led by Sholokhov was always present on the most perilous battlefields, defeating the enemy with such ferocity that they trembled in fear. Sholokhov became a legendary hero celebrated by the masses. Every ordinary soldier and farmer was honored to have a conversation with Sholokhov or even meet him. Sholokhov, a peasant-born leader, was clever, experienced, but also retained many guerrilla habits. In terms of Party policy, he sometimes failed to fully grasp its essence. For example, he once advocated "distributing one hundred cows equally among one hundred farmers" and believed that all Cossacks were enemies.
