Pavel korchagin is the youngest son of a poor worker family in a small town in Ukraine. My father died early, my mother washed clothes for others to support my family, and my brother A Qing was a railway worker. When he was in primary school, Paul hated evil and dared to do it once. He threw ashes into the dough of that stupid and vicious priest and was expelled from school.

After the October Revolution broke out, the red regime was besieged by foreign interference and domestic reactionaries: the political situation in Ukraine was also unprecedented violence and turmoil. Zhu Laihe, who lives in Paul's house, is an old Bolshevik. He was left in the town when the Red Army retreated. He Zhu came to teach Paul boxing and cultivated Paul's pure revolutionary enthusiasm. Once, Paul was put in prison for saving Zhu. Then the stupid enemy quickly misplaced him: after he got out of prison, Paul jumped into the garden of Tonya, the daughter of a forestry official. Tonia likes Paul, who is enthusiastic, stubborn and strong-willed, and Paul is deeply attracted by tonia, which is pure, beautiful, neat and elegant.

Later, my brother Arqing sent Paul to Khartoum to join the Red Army. In the army, Paul became a cavalry and fought bravely. After the battle, he also likes to read novels such as The Gadfly and Spartacus, and tells them to his comrades whenever he has time. In a fierce battle, he was seriously injured in the head and was taken to the hospital. After leaving the hospital, Paul stayed with a relative in Tonya. He had an eye problem and couldn't go back to the front, but he immediately threw himself into all kinds of arduous work in the local area. At a gathering of workers' comrades, Paul was ridiculed and laughed at by the workers because he took away tonia, who was beautifully dressed and neatly dressed? Paul realized that tonia was not in the same class as himself, so he made up his mind to break up their relationship.

In order to supply urban timber, Paul took part in railway construction. Autumn rain, mud, heavy snow and frozen soil, the working conditions are getting worse and worse, and the harassment, disease and hunger of armed bandits are also threatening Paul and his comrades. However, the railway was completed as scheduled, and Zhu, who has been promoted to the position of member of the provincial party committee, was deeply moved by their revolutionary enthusiasm, saying that "this is how steel is tempered".

Because of his outstanding achievements, Guo Taiming was appointed as the secretary of the Youth League Committee of a railway factory. Lida, a female political commissar, often helps Paul improve his consciousness and do a good job. Paul gradually fell in love with Rita, but sacrificed his second budding love on the grounds of revolution.

Paul was hospitalized again for pneumonia and recovered, but the doctor found a shrapnel wound on his spine. During his illness in his hometown, Paul visited the tomb of Letu and was deeply moved. He issued a touching and deafening rhetoric: "A person's most precious thing is life ... that's how a person's life should be spent ..." After his illness, Paul devoted himself to revolutionary work: at work, he resolutely fought against all kinds of non-mainstream ideas and "bad style" and gave it to his comrades.

Paul's constitution is getting worse and worse. 1924, the party organization had to unload all the burdens on him and let him rest for a long time. His eyesight is getting worse and worse. While recuperating at the seaside, Paul met Daya, the youngest daughter of a worker's family. At Daya's home, Paul encouraged Daya to rebel against her stubborn father and led her to join the Soviet Union. Dia and Paul are married.

1927, Paul was completely paralyzed and then went blind. He was once discouraged and wanted to commit suicide, but his strong revolutionary belief helped him out of the trough. Under extremely difficult conditions, Paul began his literary creation. 1934, with the help of his mother, wife and comrades-in-arms, his autobiographical novel How the Steel was Tempered was finally published! Paul is glad that he has a new revolutionary weapon-writing.
