Marx is a person who can't get around school, but we don't know much about his private story. Marx's Das Kapital was written on the basis of a lot of economic research, but many people don't know that he and his wife often quarrel over money. Yan Ni, Marx's wife, said, "This is a common problem in every marriage." .

In fact, looking back on Marx's youth, he was a rich second generation.

Karl Marx was born in Trier, Germany, a wealthy bourgeois family, ranking the third in the family. Eldest brother died at the age of 4 and became the eldest son of the family, receiving more attention and training. My father's name is Henrik Marx. He is an outstanding Jewish lawyer, proficient in many languages and knowledgeable. My mother, Henrietta Pressburg, was born into a Dutch Jewish aristocratic family. Halida's sister Sophia married a Dutch businessman named Gerald Philips (yes, Philip, later Philips Electric).

Although Marx is a great image in our hearts, he was actually a "tyrant" when he was young. His sisters told his niece Elena that Marx was "a tyrant who frightened his sisters. He ran with all his strength and drove them down the slope of Marcus in Terrell as his horse. To make matters worse, he insisted that his sisters eat the "cake" he made with dirty dough and held with dirtier hands. They endured' driving away' and ate' cake' without complaint, because Carl would tell stories to reward their obedience. "

Marx didn't go to school as a child. He was taught by his father. He entered Trier High School at 1830. Hugo Werthenbach, the principal of the middle school at that time, was a friend of Marx's father.

Although Marx didn't go to primary school seriously, his father taught him German, arithmetic and pictures, and often took him to visit places of interest and explain historical stories and humanistic customs. In addition, Marx's own intelligence is extraordinary, and his grades are much better than other children after entering middle school. Most of his classmates here come from the middle and lower classes, children of farmers and craftsmen. It is said that Carl's "classmates love and fear him, love him because he can start childish play at any time, and fear him because he can write satirical poems and laugh at his opponents effortlessly".

So when Marx was young, he was really a proud guy. However, his senior high school graduation thesis "Youth's Consideration in Choosing a Career" shows high ambition: when choosing a career, the main criteria we should follow are human happiness and our own perfection. We should not think that these two interests are hostile and conflicting, and one interest must destroy the other; This is human nature, and only by working hard for the perfection of contemporary people and their happiness can people achieve their own perfection.

1835, 17-year-old Marx entered the University of Bourne. He originally wanted to study philosophy and literature, but because of his father's request, he felt that law was more practical, so he studied law. At school, Marx joined the poet club and pub club, joined the Trier Association, and became the chairman. Often meet and drink until you get as drunk as a fiddler, which is the backbone of society.

He also participated in a duel. In a conflict with aristocratic students, Prussian aristocratic students forced Trier's students to kneel down and swear allegiance to the Prussian dynasty, or accept a duel. Marx stepped forward to take part in the duel, and as a result, his left eye was scratched by the opponent's saber, and all the onlookers were scared out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, it's not serious. Marx thought it was the first medal of honor in his life.

He spends a lot of money, spending 700 stories a year at Bourne University (equivalent to the current purchasing power of 6.5438+0.4 million yuan). Although Marx was in the first echelon when he entered Bonn University, his grades soon declined, and his father had to transfer him to Berlin University with better management and environment.

/kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he studied law, philosophy and history here and became an out-and-out "schoolmaster". At that time, Yan Ni, Marx's lover, was born in a noble family, four years older than Max. Although Marx's family was well-off, he still had a long way to go from the aristocratic family. The two families live not far away and have known each other since childhood. Therefore, Marx gave full play to his talents and wrote three poems for Yan Ni in just a few months. Finally, they agreed to each other for life.

184 1 year, Marx applied for the degree of "the difference between democritus's natural philosophy and Epicurus' natural philosophy" and obtained the doctorate of philosophy from the University of Jena. Later, in order to earn money to work in Rheinische Zeitung, he began an all-round life of words and thoughts.
