The Story of Tolstoy tells the story that Tolstoy lost his mother at the age of one and a half and his father at the age of nine. As a teenager, Tolstoy was not only troubled by his own thoughts, but also despaired of his ugly appearance.
Creative background:
Roland said: "when I say heroes, I don't mean those who win by their own thoughts and strength." When I say heroes, I mean those who have great souls. "
So Roland's heroes are not Caesar or Napoleon, but Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy.
Roland said in Beethoven's biography: "The surrounding air is suffocating. Old Europe groaned in a heavy and sweaty atmosphere. Materialism, which lacks great achievements, suppresses thoughts, and the world is destroyed in the egoism of haggling over every ounce and selling oneself for refuge. The world is dying. Open the window. Let fresh air in. Breathe the spirit of the hero. "
That is to say, Roland wanted to use the heroic spirit to transform the materialistic self-interest plan that existed in Europe at that time, and to save the collapse of Europe with noble morality.
