In his letter to his friends, he wrote: "Only people like us, only people like us who love life and are crazy about building a new and better new world. Only people like us who can understand and see the full meaning of life will not die casually, even if there is only a little chance, we can't give up life! " /kloc-in the winter of 0/934, he began to write The Birth of the Storm. The novel is set in the civil war from the end of 19 18 to the beginning of 19 19, which reflects the heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people to defeat the Polish invaders.

"How Steel was Tempered" describes Pavel Colta King, as the son of an ordinary worker, who experienced a severe life during the First World War, the October Revolution, the Civil War and the national economic recovery, and turned his spontaneous resistance to the old life into a conscious class will. Paul's growth is not "self-development of character", but as the author said when recalling his life: "Steel was tempered by raging fire and sudden cooling ... Our generation was also tempered by struggle and hard test."

Paul's heroism is the rationality and sincerity of the early Bolsheviks, and personal values and collective undertakings are in a harmonious state in concept. The novel not only depicts the protagonist through one dilemma after another, but also directly expresses this sincere feeling through exciting monologues and thought-provoking aphorisms. Once, when Paul came to the tomb of the martyrs to mourn his comrades who died for the revolution, he silently thought, "The most precious thing for a man is life. It only gives us one chance. A man's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when he was dying, he could say, "I devoted all my life and energy to the most magnificent cause-the struggle for the liberation of mankind." "
