Story 1:

Gorky was praised as the "father of proletarian literature" by the former Soviet authorities, and also had a "great friendship" with Lenin. However, according to the KGB archives, Gorky had many ideological and political conflicts with the Russian "father of revolution" and almost broke up. When Gorky wavered a little, Lenin would criticize him and respond with a humorous smile: "I know I am a poor Marxist. After all, we artists are a little silly ... ". After the October Revolution, Gorky was shocked by the facts and published an article in "New Life" (a daily newspaper run by the left-wing Mensheviks, published in Petersburg in April, 19 17), openly opposing the Bolsheviks' seizure of political power, thinking it was a tragedy and destruction of Russia. As a result, Xia Lenin is a piece of paper in 19 18. At the opening of the second international congress of * * * production, Lenin commented that Gorky's article for this congress "has no smell of * * * producers, but it has a strong anti-* * nature. Therefore, such an article must not be published in a magazine. "

By the first half of 1920, diplomatic relations were almost broken. Gorky compared Lenin with Peter the Great on the occasion of his 50th birthday, saying, "Seeing this great man always makes people feel such a sense of fear. He fiddled with the historical lever of our planet at will. " 1922, the seventh secret police department secretly prepared to clean Gorky, and they collected evidence from Gao's friends and acquaintances. At this point, Lenin and dzerzhinsky, the main leader of Cheka, were still alive.

Lenin and Gorky last met in 1920 10 year 10 October 20th. There are some dramatic descriptions about this meeting, such as the movie The Man with the Gun (1938). This reunion is also a breakup. Lenin repeatedly asked Gorky to emigrate: "If you don't go, then we have to send you away."

This is a way to exclude people with different opinions. In two years, dozens of intellectuals were deported. However, Sue didn't let other people who needed to go abroad. The poet Brock was seriously ill in 192 1. Gorky urged Lenin and Luna Charles to let Brock go to Finland for treatment again and again, but the poet died before he got his passport. 18 days later, on August 25th, another poet, Nicola gumilyov, was executed on the charge of structure.baiwei .. Although there is no evidence at all, Gorky's intercession in this case is useless. The death of these two poets opened an era in which writers suffered.

192 1 year1October 8, Gorky wrote to say goodbye to Lenin and left the Soviet Union for Europe. 1922 In the summer, he was in a small town in northern Germany and learned that the leader of the Russian Social Revolutionary Party was being tried in Moscow. /kloc-in July, 2000, he wrote to Rykov, head of the Soviet government: "Dear Alexei, if the trial of the Social Revolutionary Party ends in murder, it will be a premeditated and evil murder. I ask you to tell Trotsky and others my opinion. I hope this won't surprise you, because during the whole revolution, I have pointed out to the Soviet authorities a thousand times that it is stupid and criminal to eliminate intellectuals in our illiterate and uneducated country. I now firmly believe that if a social revolutionary is killed, this crime will morally isolate Russia from socialist Europe. Gorky ". On July 3, he also wrote to France, hoping to attract the attention of the European public. Gorky's letter was published in a magazine sponsored by exiled Menshevik. Both letters are kept in KGB headquarters. His letter to France had a wide influence and alarmed the Kremlin. Lenin called Gorky's letter "despicable", while Trotsky instructed Pravda to "write a gentle article about Gorky, a writer, and politicians would not take this kind of literati seriously and publish it in a foreign language". An article entitled "Almost Fallen to the Extreme" severely criticized Gorky, saying: "From this political statement, we can see that Gorky, who is abroad, is endangering our revolution. He is very harmful ... ". But perhaps Gorky's appeal worked. The Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union approved the death sentence passed by the revolutionary court, but it was not implemented.

Story 2:

Einstein was very playful when he was a child. His mother often worries about this and warns him what to do many times, but he always goes in one ear and out the other. In this way, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:

"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "Uncle Jack and I, our neighbors, cleaned a big chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him. Later, when I came out of the chimney, I found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, but I didn't even have any soot on me. " Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash." And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They think your uncle Jack is crazy. "

Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror. Only you are your own mirror. Taking others as a mirror, an idiot may also turn himself into a genius. "

Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed.

Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.

Compared with others blindly, I feel that I am content to be smarter than the people around me, or that I am depressed because I am not as good as others. How stupid this is! Everyone has different life goals and lifestyles, and he is the most reliable life guide in the world.

Story 3:

Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician, made great contributions to overcoming Goldbach's conjecture and founded the famous "Chen Theorem", so many people affectionately called him "the prince of mathematics". But who would have thought that his achievement originated from a story?

1937, diligent Chen Jingrun was admitted to Huaying College in Fuzhou. At this time, during the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Professor Shen Yuan, director of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering in Tsinghua University, returned to Fujian to attend the funeral, unwilling to stay in his hometown because of the war. Several universities got the news and wanted to invite Professor Shen to give lectures. He declined the invitation. As he is an alumnus of Huaying, he came to this middle school to teach mathematics to his classmates in order to report to his alma mater. One day, Teacher Shen Yuan told us a story in math class: "A Frenchman discovered an interesting phenomenon 200 years ago: 6=3+3, 8=5+3, 10=5+5, 12=5+7, 28=5+23. Every even number greater than 4 can be expressed as the sum of two odd numbers. Because this conclusion has not been proved, it is still a guess. Euler said: Although I can't prove it, I am sure this conclusion is correct.

It is like a beautiful light ring, shining with dazzling brilliance in front of us not far away. ..... "Chen Jingrun stare eyes, absorbed.

Therefore, Chen Jingrun took a keen interest in this wonderful problem. In his spare time, he likes going to the library. He not only read the counseling books in middle schools, but also eagerly read the textbooks of mathematics and physics courses in these universities. Therefore, he got the nickname "bookworm".

Interest is the first teacher. It is such a mathematical story that aroused Chen Jingrun's interest and his diligence and made him a great mathematician.

Story 4:

197965438+1October 18, Jay Chou was born in an ordinary family in Taipei. Recalling his childhood, my mother used a sentence "Thank God for giving him to me", which fully reflected her love for this precious son. "Chubby smile with dimples, lovely appearance is really flattering. When Jay heard music since he was a child, he would tremble with excitement. He not only likes watching Sun Yue and Tao Dawei's performances, but also often wears sunglasses to imitate Gao Lingfeng's singing. He will also sit in front of the TV, singing and dancing with advertisements. When I was interested in recording at the age of three, I often recorded my voice with a tape recorder, or sang, or made up stories, edited, directed, performed and sang. "

The father's evaluation of his son when he was a child was, "He loved to be handsome since he was a child." Dad recalled: "When Jay was a child, our family of three often went surfing on the beach together. Other children stand to take pictures, and he will definitely run to the camera to grab the camera. He likes to show off, and his performances at family gatherings often amuse us with surprise gifts. Jay has been handsome since he was a child. Not only should he wear wide trousers, but his hair should be parted in the middle. Even his car must ride a heavy motorcycle. High school students take music classes in Tamkang High School, and it takes more than two hours from Taipei to Tamkang every day, so I want to buy a motorcycle' Little Sheep' to let him walk instead of walking. As a result, Jay wanted a heavy FZR as soon as he opened his mouth, just because he looked handsome when riding heavily. "

Grow up under a stick

Jay Chou parents' divorce age 14. Growing up in a single-parent family, he was brought up by his mother and grandmother, so grandma and mother became the two most beloved women in his life. When he began to practice playing the piano at the age of 3, his mother saw his talent in music, so she was very strict with him. As a result, Jay Chou was deprived of the right to play in his childhood and spent all day at the piano. But every time he practices the piano, he always plays absently when he hears the frolicking sound of his companions outside the window. So his mother stood behind him with a stick and watched him practice the piano. Jay said, "If I have a solid music foundation, I have to thank that stick." He also met a strict piano teacher. As long as you play wrong and don't concentrate, you will immediately hit the back of your hand, so little Jay's hands are all bruised, which made him once rebellious and didn't want to learn the piano again. But when he calmed down, he couldn't help but want to play the piano. After thinking about it for a few days, little Jay not only obediently continued to practice the piano, but also never thought about leaving the music again, no matter how strict the teacher was. When I was a child, Jay Chou was very naughty, and it was common to be beaten. He once stole his mother's signature, so that he could steal contact books or papers with low marks. Sometimes he deliberately blurred the scores of the test paper with saliva, and then told his mother that he was caught in the rain. At school, if you don't reach the standard in the exam, you will be slapped. Another time, I was always pinched by my teacher until junior high school, so I was used to being beaten when I was a child.

Childhood is lonely.

Jay is the only child in the family, and he is introverted and shy. When he was young, he thought that he could have a younger brother and sister to accompany him, but he felt that his parents were tired of raising him. If he has another child, the burden of life will be heavy. The life of an only child is a bit boring, but because he is an only child, he will have different ideas about life. Many things can only be solved by himself, and no one can help him, which makes him more independent. Jay admitted that if he had brothers and sisters, he would become more considerate of others. Childhood is not boring. He can play with his siblings every day, so he still envies other families having siblings. After his parents divorced, he became more withdrawn and quiet, so he didn't have many playmates. I spend most of my time playing with my neighbors and classmates. I can't say I'm autistic, but I do have a lot of room. Asked to recall the most unforgettable thing when he was a child, he actually said that it was a big dog raised by his grandmother, because little Jay often played with dogs, and sometimes he imagined himself as a general and treated dogs as horses. He said that if he had brothers and sisters, his thoughts on life would be different from now.

The man of the hour in high school became a waiter.

After Jay Chou was admitted to the music department of Taipei Danshui High School, he became the man of the hour in the school and the prince charming in the hearts of many female students because he played the piano well and played basketball well. At this time, Jay began to have good friends to talk to. With the encouragement of his classmates, he tried to write his own songs, and many students also rushed to collect them. But when his classmates are nervously preparing for the college entrance examination, he is still addicted to music. In the eyes of ordinary people, his future is bleak. Because at that time, for a child in an ordinary family, his best choice was to study mathematics, natural science and computer in order to find a good job and make a living in the future, and music was a luxury for the rich. Obviously, they think Jay Chou can't afford luxury goods. Sure enough,1June 1996, after graduating from high school, Jay Chou couldn't find a job for a while, so he had to apply for a job as a waiter in a restaurant. His daily job is to send the dishes cooked by the chef to the restaurant and then pass them on to the guests by the waitress. The work seems simple, but it is not easy to do. Because there are many guests, it is easy to pass the wrong dishes. Once something goes wrong, the waiter will not only be angry with the customer, but also the boss will deduct the salary. When I was a child, Jay Chou was a little autistic and silly. The English teacher in high school thinks that Jay Chou has a learning disability: "He has a dull expression on his face, and I think he is stupid. The boy can't concentrate on math and science classes, and even his English homework is neglected. But Zhou's mother noticed that this quiet and shy child was particularly sensitive to western pop music or classical music from an early age. He was keen on music before he learned to walk. " She recalled. When he was four years old, Zhou's mother sent him to a piano class to learn piano. He played very well, like a piano enthusiast. The high school piano teacher said that Jay Chou could improvise when he was a teenager. Outside the piano room, Jay Chou is an ordinary teenager. While other students are playing basketball nearby, he has been watching kung fu movies and playing games. Everyone else is busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but he skipped classes and practiced the piano twice, and his life was aimless.

Music saved him and brought him good luck. A junior helped him sign up for the idol selection program Super Newcomer King in Taiwan Province Province. The producer of the program later contacted the surprised Jay Chou and invited him to participate in the performance. But Jay Chou dare not solo. Finally, he accompanied a friend who wanted to be a piano singer. The performance was poor. At that time, Wu Zongxian, the host of the program, was always looking for new people. He glanced at the nervous piano accompaniment boy and the singer who sang like a crow and thought, forget it! Wu Zongxian said, "I don't think it sounds good at all. That singer sings really badly. " However, he looked at the score: I looked at the score from behind the referee's shoulder and the result was amazing. Very complicated, well done. After the filming, Wu Zongxian went backstage to find Jay Chou, who was wearing a baseball cap that almost covered his eyes. Wu Zongxian recalled: My first impression of him was that he was quiet and shy. I thought he was autistic. Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time. A year and a half later, Wu Zongxian decided to hand over the management right of Alfa records to his friend and singer Yang Junrong, and Jay Chou went from behind the scenes to the stage to become an idol singer. Within three months, Jay Chou finished his first album.

The opportunity has finally come. 1997, Jay Chou participated in the super-fierce newcomer king. Jay, who performed poorly, unexpectedly caught Wu Zongxian's attention. After in-depth conversation with Jay, he decided to hire Jay as a music production assistant in his own record company. I have been a production assistant for more than a year. This job involves doing all kinds of chores, and sometimes buying lunch boxes for everyone. The salary is very small, but Jay is very happy. Gradually, the solid music foundation he laid since childhood made his performance more and more brilliant. Seeing this, boss Wu Zongxian decided to give this talented young man a chance to have his own stage and become a singer.

1one day in February 1999, Wu Zongxian called Jay Chou to his office and said very solemnly, "Allen, you still have 10 days. If you can write 50 songs and I can pick out 10, then I will help you make a record. " Jay Chou was so excited that he ran to the street and bought a big box of instant noodles. He thought that even if he tried his best, he would make a final struggle. Because he knew that the boss might give him the chance. During that time, he almost wrote one song after another. Whenever he was tired, he took a nap in the corner of the room and woke up to write the next one. In this way, in just 10 days, Jay Chou really produced 50 songs, and each capital was beautifully written and composed. After more than half a year's careful production, Jay Chou's first album "Jay" was completed. It was a blockbuster as soon as it was released. Not only did it sell well, but it also won two Taiwan Province pop music golden melody awards: Best Pop Album, Best Producer and Best Composer. Since 2000, his first album has sold out, and now his album sales are unparalleled. It seems that the Chinese pop music scene was almost ruled by Jay Chou's voice overnight.

From a waiter to a household name, Jay Chou said in an exclusive interview with Time magazine: "The dream of a star is not out of reach. In fact, anyone can do it as long as you are willing to work hard. The reason why I am today is because I don't admit defeat. " Jay Chou hopes to be a musician of the times in the future, not a flash in the pan. Indeed, a person who doesn't want to be a coward should climb up step by step like a snail.
