Childhood, On Earth and My University are Gorky's autobiographical trilogy. They are one of the outstanding works with profound educational significance and great artistic charm in the treasure house of world literature. Childhood describes Gorky's difficult childhood life in his grandfather's house after his father died. In 1970s, Gorky came into contact with ordinary Russian citizens in his grandfather's home. He has beautiful, bright and warm memories like flowers, as well as sad, painful and eye-catching memories. Next, from the perspective of education, read the family's enlightenment to Gorky in childhood.
On one occasion, Gorky took a ruble from his stepfather's book and bought Acts, Andersen's Fairy Tales and some food. After school, Gorky's mother suppressed her anger and asked him if he had. Gorky admitted that her mother severely beat Gorky with a frying pan that was frying eggs, confiscated Andersen's book and hid it somewhere forever. This is Gorky's saddest thing. He likes reading Andersen's fairy tales best. I think my mother wants Gorky to remember never to take other people's things!
Gorky truly described his miserable childhood in this book, reflecting some typical characteristics of social life at that time, especially the customs and habits of the Russian petty bourgeoisie. It not only reveals those "ugly things like lead", but also describes many outstanding ordinary people around the author, among which the image of grandmother is one of the most brilliant and poetic images in Russian literature. It is these ordinary people who have given the young Gorky a good influence, made him develop a character of not bowing to ugly phenomena, and cultivated him into a strong and kind person.
