Beethoven experienced the following hardships in his life:

1. On December 16, 1770, Beethoven was born into a poor family in Bonn, Germany. Her father was a tenor singer in the busy local palace choir, and her mother was the daughter of a palace cook who suffered from life. His grandfather was chief musician of the Bonn court orchestra.

Beethoven had a very bad time as a child. His alcoholic father destroyed his family. He tried to turn Beethoven into a cash cow. He hoped that his son would also become a Mozart-like genius. Therefore, he not only forced the children to practice piano, but also often dragged the children out of their sleep to play the piano after returning home from drinking in the middle of the night.

Beethoven was forced to listen to Cohen when he was under eight years old. Before performing and performing, Beethoven began working in a theater band at the age of 11. This difficult childhood life enabled Beethoven to embark on an independent path of making a living through music at an early date, and it also cultivated his tenacious character.

2. After Beethoven arrived in Vienna in 1787, he began to learn to compose music with Mozart, Haydn and others. But soon after he arrived in Vienna, he received news of his mother's death and had to rush back to Bonn. Due to family drag, his father did not die until the autumn of 1792. He came to Vienna for the second time, but Mozart was no longer alive.

3. Beethoven began writing his first symphony when he was 30 years old. His hearing had been failing since 1796. However, his love of life and persistent pursuit of art overcame his personal pain and despair. Suffering has become the source of his creativity, and he has strangled the throat of fate. He still stubbornly wrote the "Heroic Symphony in Pain", which marked the turning point of Beethoven's mental state and the beginning of the "Heroic Age".

4. Beethoven’s creation also showed a brief decline from 1813 to 1817. From 1818 to 1827, Beethoven composed the Ninth Symphony with great perseverance, which summarized his glorious epic life and expressed the good wishes of mankind in the face of deafness, deteriorating health and mental pain.
