His creation began a new era of world proletarian literature, and his name "represents a new period in the history of world literature" (Lu Xun said). At the beginning of the 20th century, his works began to be introduced to our country and had a huge impact on our country's literature and our country's revolution.

Gorky was born on March 14, 1868 in Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga River in Russia. His father is the son of a soldier, and his mother is the daughter of a dye house owner. My grandfather once served as an army officer, but was demoted by Tsar Nicholas I for brutally abusing his subordinates. My grandfather was so strict with my father that my father ran away from home five times, and the last escape was successful. After escaping, he worked successively as a carpenter, a steamship company office manager, a worker who decorated interior curtains and wallpaper, etc. He was a smart, kind and very pleasant person. Later he contracted cholera and died when Gorky was 3 years old. After his father died, Gorky lived with his mother at his grandfather's house. He spent his childhood in his grandfather's home, which was full of philistine sentiments. During this period, my mother remarried and died of tuberculosis a few years later, and my grandfather went bankrupt. The 11-year-old Gorky was forced to live in the world and began to make a living independently. He picked rags, worked as an apprentice and a handyman, suffered bullying and abuse, and experienced the suffering and hardships of life. He only attended elementary school for three years, but he loved reading. He took advantage of every opportunity to read whatever books he could find and studied hard on his own. In 1884, he came to Lushan with the intention of going to university, but he failed to do so and finished his social university at the bottom of society. He has worked as a dock porter, baker, grocery store clerk, gardener and night watchman. At the same time, he got acquainted with advanced populist intellectuals and Marxist writings, further realized the ugliness of reality and the suffering of the people, and gradually established his determination to reform society. In 1888-1889 and 1891-1892, Gorky traveled to Russia twice in order to understand the motherland and its people. It ran from Nizhny to Tsaritsyn, through the Don River region, Ukraine, to Bessarabia, and from there along the southern coast of Crimea to Kuban, and then to the Black Sea. The journey and arduous experiences broadened Gorky's horizons, tempered his will, accumulated rich knowledge and life materials, and inspired him to have a strong desire to engage in literary creation.

When Alyosha (Gorky in childhood) was very young, his father fell ill and died, and his mother took him back to his grandparents' house.

The arrival of Alyosha's mother caused a fight between his uncle Mikhail and his brother-in-law Yakov. They were afraid that their mother would come to ask for dowry, so they broke up and broke into a fight. Alyosha initially realized the atmosphere of mutual hatred permeating his grandfather's house. The uncle teased the old tailor Grigory and asked his nephew to put a hot thimble in Grigory's hand. Unexpectedly, the grandfather accidentally put it on, and the grandfather whipped his grandson. Alyosha was severely beaten by his grandfather for putting the tablecloth in the dye bucket. During the beating, everyone was gloating about his misfortune. Even his mother was afraid of grandpa and did not dare to stop him. Only grandma protected Alyosha. Liao Sha. After beating Alyosha, his grandfather came to see him and told him about the time when he was a tracker on the banks of the Volga River when he was young. Alyosha felt that his grandfather had grown up quickly like a cloud, from a skinny little old man. Become the strong man in the fairy tale.

This is completely different from the creative approach of some of his earlier romantic works such as "Song of the Petrel". "The Song of Haiyan" is filled with the spirit of romanticism, showing readers a magnificent picture of the heroic struggle between the revolutionary people and the reactionary forces on the eve of the revolutionary storm: on the vast sea, dark clouds are gathered by strong winds, and thunder rumbles , the angry sea set off huge waves and rushed high into the sky, fighting fiercely with them; the flying petrel shouted loudly as a victorious prophet: "Let the storm come more violently!" This work is different from "Childhood". The author did not describe real life truthfully, but used symbolism to express strong subjective feelings through exaggerated descriptions of the majestic natural phenomena.

In "Childhood", Gorky also successfully used a variety of artistic techniques to create a series of lifelike characters under the guidance of realist creation principles. The cruel, selfish, insidious and irritable grandfather, the uncle who is greedy for money, the cold and ruthless mother, the kind and kind grandmother, the happy and capable Gypsy, the hard-working and capable old craftsman Grigory, and the cheerful and lovely nanny Yevgenia. Among the creation of these characters, grandma and grandpa left the most profound impression on readers. The image of grandmother is one of the most distinctive and poetic images of women in the history of Russian literature. She is a symbol of the great mother and a symbol of Russian suffering life. She likes to sing, tell stories, and dance. She is loving, kind, and strong, and can attract people to her even in very noisy and chaotic situations, adding a joyful atmosphere to a hard and suffocating life. In the book, Gorky comprehensively portrays her image through her appearance description, language, actions and quoting a large number of folk songs, fairy tales, stories and other forms. Gorky described her appearance this way: "Grandma talks like singing, which is very beautiful. Every word she says is like a blooming flower, gentle, fresh, fresh and easy
