One morning, in the reading room of the British Museum in London, a reader was sitting on an empty seat with a book in his hand. At this moment, the librarian on duty came up to him and said,' Sir, this is Dr. Marx's seat. Please don't sit here. He will come soon.

Marx was knowledgeable, versatile and good at telling stories. He often tells all kinds of charming fairy tales to children, and sometimes reads some wonderful stories to children loudly, such as Homer's works, Song of Nibelungen, Don Quixote, Arabian Nights and so on. Marx has read it to the children several times from beginning to end. Marx often recites many lines from Shakespeare's plays to children, and these poetic and vivid sentences are deeply imprinted in children's hearts.

2. The story of Marx quitting smoking:

Marx, the great revolutionary mentor, was a heavy smoker for some time and often smoked while working. He once said to Lafarge, "Capital's remuneration is not even enough to pay for my cigars." He smokes like anything else, fast and fierce. Because of poor economic conditions, he always chooses cheaper cigars. When he smokes, he also has a habit of chewing half the cigarettes in his mouth, saying that this can improve the effect of cigarettes.

Because of smoking a lot, his health has also been greatly damaged. Later, his family doctor had to take action to strictly limit his smoking. Giving up smoking is a great sacrifice for Marx, but for the sake of health and work, he made up his mind to give up smoking. During that time, he really didn't smoke a cigarette, and even he didn't seem to believe that he was so addicted to smoking that he successfully quit smoking.

3. Marx angrily returned to the gentleman:

Once, a gentleman asked Marx who would shine shoes in the future country. Marx answered him angrily: "You wipe!" The rude gentleman was too confused to speak. This is probably the only time Marx lost patience. After the gentleman left, my mother said frankly, "doctor, I don't want to defend this gentleman who asked stupid questions, but I think it's better for him to keep silent when you answer him." It would be even worse if he said he was not fit to shine shoes. "

Marx thought so, too. My mother went on to say, "I can't imagine that you can live in a completely equal era because you have aristocratic tastes and habits." Marx replied: "I feel the same way. This era will come, but we will definitely be dead by then. "

4. The friendship between Marx and Engels:

10 7, Engels' wife Mary Baines died suddenly of a heart attack. Engels wrote to Marx with great sadness. The letter said, "I can't tell you how I feel now. The poor girl loves me wholeheartedly. "

The plight of life tormented Marx, making him forget and ignore his concern for his friends' misfortune. The grief-stricken Engels couldn't help getting a little angry when he received this letter. Once upon a time, two close friends often wrote to each other every other day or two. This time, it was on the fifth day, that is, 65438+ 10/3, that Engels wrote back to Marx. In his letter, he said frankly: "Naturally, I understand that my own misfortune and your indifference to it prevented me from writing back to you earlier. All my friends, including strangers, expressed sympathy and friendship to me at this great sad moment, which exceeded my expectation. You think this moment is the best time to show your calm thinking style. Then suit yourself! " ?

5. The story of Marx and wine.

In the letters of Marx and Engels, there are about 400 places about drinking, all of which have a profound understanding and cultivation of wine culture. Marx's father had a small vineyard in Moser area, and Marx also thought that his "composition" was the vineyard owner. He was influenced by the environment of wine producing areas since he was a child. When he was in his hometown, he often criticized the Prussian government's policy towards fruit farmers and wine farmers, which led to the persecution of him by the authorities and the exile of Marx all the year round.

In some famous works, such as Das Kapital, Marx and Engels often take the wine industry as an example to explain the labor value and analyze the composition and unreasonable phenomena of social capital.

Marxism is the abbreviation of Marxist theoretical system, which covers all Marx's viewpoints and theories about the future social form-scientific socialism.
