About This Novel
Synopsis of "Doctor Zhivago (Part 2)": Zhivago, a surgeon who was born into a family of intellectuals, served in the Tsarist army during World War I. He saw the weakness and incompetence of the Tsarist army and the corruption of the old army. His smart mind had a premonition that the revolutionary power was maturing. He expected that the revolution would bring new life to the country and the people, and supported the new regime with positive actions. However, the harsh reality of the civil war and the subsequent implementation of a series of policies by the new regime made this honest and upright old intellectual develop deep doubts and fears about violence and centralization, and he was under tremendous pressure in a forced and systematic double life. He praised the simple and tranquil Russian quality and yearned to live a quiet life and do meaningful work; but this ideal of life, as well as his difficult and beautiful love with Lala, were ultimately not tolerated by the harsh reality.
