"How Steel Was Tempered" is a novel written by Soviet writer Nikolai Ostrovsky.
This autobiographical novel is set against the background of the Russian October Revolution. It tells the story of the protagonist Paul Korchagin, who was born in a worker's family at the bottom of society and lived a life of hardship since childhood. Later, under the leadership of the revolutionary Zhu Helai, he struggled for his ideals, successfully embarked on the revolutionary road, and gradually grew into a persevering revolutionary warrior. The heroic image of Paul Korchagin created by the author has become a spiritual role model for hundreds of millions of people, inspiring generations of young people to strengthen their ideals and beliefs and to strive hard.
Reader comments
Life is only once for a person. "A person's life should be spent like this: when looking back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed for doing nothing." I was particularly impressed. He was able to stick to his ideals in such a difficult environment. What does it matter if we encounter some difficulties in life? It's really worth reading!
What Paul forged on the anvil of fate is mankind's eternal weapon against nothingness. When we peel off the coat of revolutionary narrative, what we see is a shocking hymn to life - everyone is the forger of his own destiny, refining the ore of life into bright stars in the furnace of the times. Closing the page, the city outside the window is still flowing in neon lights. The story of Paul Korchagin is like a hammer traveling through time and space, striking the heart of every modern person. In this post-modern context where meaning disappears, we need the courage to forge life more than ever - not to become a saint of a specific ideology, but as an independent individual, in the furnace of his own time, tempering ordinary days into immortal poems. This may be the most precious legacy left to the 21st century by "How Steel is Tempered".
It can be read as a refreshing article about starting from scratch and becoming a strong person.
The characters in the work are real and have a sense of life, and the varied techniques make the novel more linguistically tense and readable. Paul is a perseverant, self-reliant person. In the early stage, he may have made many mistakes because of his youth, but he was able to realize and correct them, which is commendable. After reading this, you will have the courage to face life. We must learn from Paul!
Wuwuwuwuwu, Xie Liaosha, why did you die like this! ! ! ! ! ! !
Very good, I urgently read it 12 hours before the exam
Paul Korchagin in it really moved me so much that I cried several times. His growth also inspired me in my life path.
I listened to this book while copying homework
Paul is a perseverant man. Even if illness and danger envelope him, it does not affect his enthusiasm as a youth and determination to build socialism.
This version is super good. I can't stand the book. But I can listen to this. We will be saved in the exam.
No, I completely forgot about it after reading it
It's a required reading in school, so I added it to the bookshelf to fool myself that I'd finished it, but for me, I really did. 🤓🤓🤓
It's very interesting. Although it's a must-read, at least this time it's something I like to read from the bottom of my heart.

Outstanding characters and rich content
A great communist fighter whose surging and burning spiritual flame is respectable. It also gave me a deafening and enlightening effect.
