Chapter 69 Poland with lots of waves

Dear Xiaowen: Have you ever played the works of Frederic Francois Chopin (1810-1849)? Chopin is Polish.Only lived to be thirty-nine years old. Chopin played the piano in public when only eight years old. He began to compose soon afterward. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatory from 1826 to 1829 before leaving Poland in 1830. He settled in Paris in 1831, and, except for some travel, he lived there the rest of his life. Sandwiched between Germany and Russia, Poland is always invaded, divided, and divided ([of a county] to be divided or split like a melon or a bean; to be partitioned). Chopin music arouses patriotism among Poles.

The poles also have an unsatiable appetite for translations of Moliere and Shaw and for their own 19th-century dramatists who wrote from exile, when their country was partitioned among three neighboring empires. The plays, novels, and music of this period helped keep the Poles sense of nationhood alive. One composer, in particular, has stirred polish pride through the dark years, He, of course, is Chopin, whose birthplace at Zelazowa Wola, 28 miles west of Warsaw, is a national shrine. here, every Sunday in the spring and summer, the public is invited to a Chopin concert. Poland was partitioned four times around 1772, 1793, 1795, and 1939.After the partition in 1914, Poland was no longer on the map.In 1945, the Soviet Union (Russia/USSR) divided the eastern part of Poland, but supplied the eastern part of Germany to Poland.So Poland "to suffer a loss in one place but make a gain somewhere else" (to suffer a loss in one place but make a gain somewhere else).

This style of work in the Soviet Union is called "generosity or unselfishness by another's wealth" (to show generosity or unselfishness by another's wealth; to be generous at the expense of others).Dad talked to you in the four or six letters, the English name is Rob Peter to pay Paul (rob Peter to pay Paul). The capital of Poland is Warsaw, Warsaw, Warsaw, Warsaw really saw war.During the Second World War, the city of Warsaw was completely destroyed, and a quarter of the people died. Gdansk, known as Danzig in German, is a shipbuilding center, and the city and the Polish Corridor used to be big news in the world because they were always confused with Germany.

POLISH CORRIDOR is a historic strip of land that was once the ancient polish province of Pomorze. Poland lost the province to Prussia in 1772. When Prussia became a German state in 1871, the area fell into German control. After World War I, the Versailles Treaty established the corridor of land to give Poland free access to the Baltic Sea. The corridor separated East Prussia and the port city of Danzig from the rest of Germany. In 1939, Germany regained control of the area when Nazi troops invaded Poland. After World War II, the corridor was returned to Poland. Poland has been a Christian country for 1,000 years. Most Poles are Roman Catholics, and religion is important in their lives. Poland has been a Christian country for 1,000 years.

Poland's porcelain is very famous, and porcelain is also called China, so it can be said that Poland's China is very famous. Xiaowen, do you still remember a kind of pig called Poland China that Dad told you about? Poland Chinas gain weight rapidly and make excellent meat hogs. Farmers in Ohio developed the Poland China breed. Krakow is the cultural city of Poland. It used to be the capital (Krakow is the traditional capital of polish culture). The Polish astronomer Copernicus (Copernicus) was born in this city. Copernicus skillfully applied this new idea in his masterpiece, Concerning the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres (1543). In this book, Copernicus demonstrated how the earths motions could be used to explain the motions of other heavenly bodies. His theory laid the foundations for the Telescopic discoveries of Galileo, the planetary laws of Johannes Kepler, and the gravitation principle of Sir Isaac Newton.

Copernicus was born in the city of Thorn (now Torun, Poland), and attended the University of Krakow. Poles went abroad to become famous: ①In France, there is Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934), Polish chemist and physician in France, wife of Pierre Curie, Madame Curie. She was born as a daughter and studied hard to succeed.She is the only scientist who has won the Noble Prize twice.Her eldest daughter, Irene, later also won the Nobel Prize; her younger daughter, Egrave Eve. Her life of her mother, Madame Curie (1937), had a great and immediate success, as did Among Warriors (1943). ② In Britain there is Conrad Joseph Conrad (1857-1924).

Joseph Conrad's father and an uncle were arrested by the Russians for resisting Russia and died in prison (exiled to Siberia).He used to live in Cracow (that is, Krakow) with his father. When he was less than four years old, his father was arrested, and he and his mother followed him to Siberia (Siberia) in Russia—political prisoners can bring their families with them. When he was eight, his mother died, and when he was eleven, his father died. He wandered to Europe and has been a sailor. He could not speak English before the age of twenty, but he became a great British writer. His best-known novels are Lord Jim and Heart of Dark.We have them at home.

③In the United States there is Artur Rubinstein, the great pianist that Dad talked to you about. The most famous Polish writer is Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916). He used Rome's Nero as a story and wrote "Quo Vadis, also called "You Where are you going?"), you should read this book and the Madame Curie written by Mrs. Curie's daughter to her mother.We have them at home. dad October 26, 1975
