60 years of reform and opening up, the long river of history is full of sediment, but it must be sparkling pearls that have been washed out. On the real earth, the spring breeze has arrived and the sun is shining. You see: "Shenzhou VII" has been launched, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has come to a successful end, and the National Day that everyone is waiting for is coming soon. ...

This year is 2009, which is a special and special year, because this year is not only the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, but also the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Nanjing.

In this special year, influenced by my classmates, I read How Steel was Tempered by Nicola Ostrovschi.

This book is based on a novel written by Nicholas Ostrovschi himself. I think it's a very good book, and of course it's my favorite book. I like this book very much, because of its spirit and quality ... he taught me a lot!

The author himself, he is completely disabled and blind. This book was dictated by the author and recorded by relatives and friends.

1934, the novel how the former Soviet Union was tempered into steel was published. 1935 In March, Pravda of the Soviet Union reported Ostrovschi's touching deeds. In the same year, in June+10, 5438, he also won the highest honor in the Soviet Union-Lenin Medal, and this "hero" who struggled with his fate all his life became a household name.

The book How Steel was Tempered is enduring in Southeast Asia. The protagonist Paul Kochakin is almost known to all women and children. He read this book in the revolutionary war years and the old revolution in the early days of the founding of New China, and Lei Feng also regarded him as his role model.

Three years ago, I firmly remembered Paul's words, "when a person is young and strong, being strong is relatively simple and easy;" Life is like an iron ring, you can persist just after being caught. This is a glorious achievement. "Although this is only 66 words, it tells us that no matter how bumpy our fate is, we can't give up easily and we can't bow to them so easily. As long as you stick to it and don't bow your head, all the setbacks and difficulties will pass. Just like Pushkin's "If Life Deceives You": Everything is instantaneous, everything will pass, and the past will become a beautiful memory.

There is a passage in the book about building roads, which tests Paul's iron will: the city lacks materials for winter, and Paul and his men are in urgent need of building a railway to transport wood. At that time, it was snowing heavily, and Paul and his workers lacked clothes and food. After working in the field for many days, the successors couldn't catch up with the injured. In this extremely evil and extremely poor environment, many people deserted and ran away. Finally, I fell ill on the first day of completion. Paul and the workers told us by actions that many times it is not the difficulties that we bow to, but the difficulties themselves bow to us. No matter how difficult the environment is, as long as you have the right goal and keep working towards it, you will eventually succeed and become a strong person.

In such a peaceful era, although there is no war in sight, competition is everywhere.

Finally, I want to use Ostrovschi's own words to point out that "life is the most precious thing for people, and life belongs to people only once. A man's life should be spent like this: when he looks back, he will not regret his mediocrity and waste his time, nor will he feel guilty for his meanness and vulgar life. In this way, on his deathbed, he can say,' I have devoted all my life and energy to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for human liberation.' "

Students, our motherland needs us, needs our dedication, needs our competition, and makes her more beautiful. If our motherland needs me now, we must help her without hesitation. We should study hard and bravely accept all tests and difficulties. We must "March" into our dreams and become the pillars of our motherland! ! !
