Nikolai ostrovsky is Russian, but his birthplace is in Ukraine. My father is a starter in a brewery, and he also works part-time in a foreign village or town. He also worked as a postman for five years. He has been to Petersburg, served in military service, met progressive college students, and knows the stories of some revolutionaries against the czar. My mother was born in poverty, and she had to work for others since she was a child, herding geese, growing vegetables and looking after children. They gave birth to six children after marriage, and two died. Ostrovsky is the youngest, with two sisters and one brother. Mothers not only do housework and take care of children, but also sew for others and be maids. When he was ten years old, due to the outbreak of World War I, his family moved to Shchepetov to escape the war. At this time, life is even more difficult.
At the age of eleven, ostrovsky joined the local railway station canteen as a waiter. At the age of fourteen, he entered the power plant, helped firefighters and electricians, and also did chores such as sawing wood and unloading coal.

He tried to write fairy tales, short stories and poems, and published his exercises in the magazine Color of Youth written by students. He also likes to play drama, and he likes to play a hero role on the stage. He dropped out of school several times, mostly because of poverty, and once because he offended a priest who taught theology. So, the children tried their best to borrow books and even gave their lunch to the newspaper vendor in exchange for newspapers. When he was twelve years old, he read the Gadfly, the representative work of English woman writer Voynich. Since then, the image of the gadfly has been deeply imprinted in his heart.

The hardships and heaviness of real life, as well as the perseverance and brilliance of the characters in the book, made the boy sensible and precocious. He helped Bolshevik underground organizations post leaflets and spy on information. At the age of fifteen, he was walking in the street when he suddenly found a member of an underground revolutionary committee being escorted by a heavily armed bandit soldier. In despair, he pounced on the robber soldiers. The revolutionary was rescued unexpectedly, but was arrested for it. The boy was tortured, but he didn't say a word, just survived.
The Red Army and the Rebel Army defeated the bandit troops. In July of the same year, ostrovsky joined the Youth League; In August, he volunteered to join the Red Army, went to the front with the troops and stood the test of the fire of war.
He was a cavalry and scout, and fought everywhere. This young man is not only brave and good at fighting, but also good at inspiring his comrades-in-arms, showing his propaganda and agitation ability. In August of the following year, ostrovsky was seriously injured in the abdomen and head, and was in a coma for two months in a field hospital bed.

At the age of seventeen, he took the lead in completing the arduous work of building a railway branch line. On the railway construction site, many people died because of bad conditions, diseases and gang attacks. Ostrovsky gritted his teeth and worked hard. But when the project was about to be completed, his knees were red and swollen, he had difficulty walking, and he was infected with typhoid fever and was sent back to his hometown. Under the care of his mother, he barely survived. After returning to the factory, he worked while studying in a technical school. Injured, unable to bear excessive fatigue, the body is getting worse and worse, and was sent to a nursing home for mud treatment. After a slight improvement, he returned to Kiev and, together with many members of the Youth League, rescued Wood from the knee-deep and biting cold river. He is ill again. At the age of eighteen, the medical appraisal Committee issued a first-class disability certificate for him!
He hid his certificate and asked for a job. Later, he served as secretary of the Youth League Committee, political commissar of the national military training camp, member of the regional Youth League Committee and alternate member of the Youth League Committee.

At the age of 23, he was paralyzed and his eyes gradually became blind.
Since then, he has traveled to and from hospitals around the country, and he has not improved after treatment. Twenty-six-year-old, the ninth operation, left a cotton ball in the body after the incision was sutured. Weak patients, if anesthetized again, may damage the heart and endanger their lives. He offered to cut the incision and take out the cotton ball without anesthesia. He didn't utter a moan, but he had a high fever after the operation and stayed there for eight days. After that, he flatly refused any operation and said, "I donated some blood for science, and let me keep the rest for something else."
He made many friends in hospitals and nursing homes all over the country, some of whom were revolutionaries of the older generation. During the interval of medical treatment, he read a lot of excellent literary works with his remaining eyesight, including works by Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gorky, sholokhov, Balzac, Hugo, Zola and Dreiser. He took part in the study of Correspondence University and wrote a novella reflecting the life of fighting. Unfortunately, the only manuscript of the novel was lost on the way back after being read by comrades from other places.
