A generation of heroes were brutally killed, but they are tall and majestic statues standing on the ground, surrounded by flowers, bathed in sunshine, and people offer their most revered feelings.A group of ghosts and ghosts, gnats and dogs, although alive and dead, are all puppets carved out of rotten wood. People cast cold eyes, contempt and ridicule at them.In his world-famous (hereinafter referred to as "Report"), the immortal work of the Czech national hero Fucik profoundly reveals the greatness and insignificance of human beings - the fundamental difference between statues and puppets.After reading it, we deeply love those heroes who sacrificed all their strength and even their precious lives for the advancement of human society, and hate those ugly people who are despicable, cruel and shameful.

Fucik is the loyal son of the Czech working people and a member of the Central Committee of the Czech Communist Party.On the eve of World War II, after the German fascist army occupied the Czech Republic in March 1939, the Communist Party was forced to go underground, and Fucik resolutely stayed in Prague to lead the struggle.In the spring of 1941, not long after the party's first underground Central Committee was destroyed, he took the initiative to establish a second Central Committee with two other Central Committee members with strong perseverance and fearless spirit.In those years, Hitler's Gestapo frantically hunted down the underground leaders of the Communist Party.Thousands of communists and patriots were arrested, tortured, and massacred.Due to the betrayal of the traitor, on April 24, 1942, Fucik was arrested in Prague. The "Report" was written on scraps of paper with the end of a pencil with the help of a Czech guard when he was tortured and tortured in the Gestapo Prison in Pankratez, and he was about to be hanged at any time.This is a magnificent poem written by an excellent communist fighter with blood.

Death, for the cowardly, is extremely threatening.However, in front of the heroes, it is so simple and ordinary.This is the case with Fucik and his comrades: "We have enough estimates of death. We all know: once it falls into the hands of the Gestapo, there is no hope of survival. Here we act on this basis Yes." From the day Fucik was arrested, he was tortured and beaten so cruelly that he was on the verge of death, and his fellow sufferers prayed for him on his deathbed.But with strong perseverance, he endured the unbearable torture of ordinary people, and woke up from the bed of death.Seeing that the sticks and shackles failed to subdue Fucik, the enemy tortured him mentally: he brought his beloved wife to "confront" him, beat his comrades in front of him, and took him to "walk" in the places he loved. Golden Prague... All these methods are nothing more than trying to induce him to waver for a minute, hesitate for a moment, and fear for a moment, so as to destroy his lifelong faith.However, the enemy's tricks failed. Fucik never flashed a single distraction. He was full of confidence in the cause of the people and fought against the enemy every day he lived.He organized and led the "collective in prison" to fight against the Nazi bandits. "In order to connect today behind bars with tomorrow of freedom", he also used pens as knives and insisted on writing in prison.

In The Report, Fucik talks about "the prison collective" with love and gratitude.The fraternal love of tortured people has a centripetal force that binds them all into one whole.Fucik used many vivid examples in the "Report" to illustrate the power of this kind of friendship, which can penetrate walls and embrace all cells.This is an unconquerable force bought with blood and life.In the "Report", Fucik wrote the true characteristics of the many heroes in this group with extremely deep love.For example, the Communist Party members Yelinek and his wife, who were born in the working class, usually do not appear to be heroes, but they are as strong as steel in front of the enemy.They stood shoulder to shoulder when the Gestapo broke into their home.The wife asked her husband, "What should we do now?" The husband replied, "We're going to die." She didn't yell or shake, but faced the guns aimed at them, and handed him her hand in a very graceful gesture. s husband.She used to love to cry, but she never shed a single tear in prison.Her last words were: "Please tell your comrades outside, don't feel sorry for me, and don't be scared by this incident. May I do everything the working class asks of me, and I will die according to its demands."

Fucik made a request to those who survived this disaster: don't forget these good people, and love these people who sacrificed for others and themselves.He praised with all his enthusiasm: "Everyone who is faithful to the future and sacrifices for a better future is a stone statue." Yes, people love and respect them.Fucik sculpted tall statues of heroes in the "Report".He risked his life and faithfully recorded these daring heroes with fiery enthusiasm.The heroes in his works are simple and unpretentious, and all of them show the strong character that gold is not afraid of fire.Their heroism is selfless and humble.They really deserve the title of "person" with a capital letter.

Fucik also called on people to be wary of "corrupt and outdated people who try to hold back the revolutionary tide" - puppets big and small.They are soul-sell-out, conscience-stricken beasts, who use other people's lives to maintain their positions, and other people's blood to fill their lusts.If you have milk, you are a mother, and it is their philosophy of life to live in peace.Fucik's extremely keen eyes and senses awakened from the resurrection of the dead can best detect this group of scum.Like the traitor Milek, who once braved the hail of bullets, but now under the whip of the Gestapo, he lost his courage, so he betrayed his organization, comrades and his lover to save his life.He was finally rejected by the collective.In the "Report", Fucik denounced those executioners who were not worthy of being Czechs.Those who sold their souls to the devil became more hateful than the devil.They are all extremely sinister, cunning, and cruel puppets, puppets influenced by fascism and various reactionary forces.It was these puppets that formed the backbone of the reactionary Nazi regime, the bane of the Dark Ages.

Fifty years have passed since Fuchik died heroically. The "Report" is not only a classic work in Czech proletarian literature, but also the common spiritual wealth of progressive people all over the world. Widely circulated in China.In our country, as early as the 1950s, two versions translated from other languages ​​were issued successively, which played a great role in educating and encouraging our readers.Today, when I reread this brilliant work that I translated from the original Czech text in 1979, it seemed that I could hear the "Internationale" that Fucik sang loudly when he was taken to the execution ground. There are tall hero statues standing majestically, but at the same time, the shadows of puppets shaking in some dark corners of the earth are also seen.I think that all honest people who have read or will read Fucik's "Report" will always remember Fucik's earnest instruction with blood and life: "People, I love you. You can Be vigilant" Yes, all those who have dedicated themselves to the cause of human progress are all grateful to Fucik for his sincere reminder: no matter when and where, we must be vigilant against those who are open and hidden, cruel and insidious, of all kinds puppets.

Fucik, the excellent communist fighter, revolutionary journalist, writer and critic, was born on February 23, 1903 in a working family in the Smikhov working district of Prague.Since his youth, he has lived a miserable life of the working class and is determined to fight for the cause of the proletariat all his life.Inspired by the great October Revolution, he actively participated in revolutionary activities.He had just turned eighteen when he joined the nascent Czech Communist Party.In 1921, he entered the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague to study; at the same time, in order to maintain his life, he worked as a day laborer and a street advertiser.

While in school, he wrote articles for the party newspaper and other progressive publications.He was later appointed by the party as the editor-in-chief of the weekly literary and political review and editor of the party's central organ "Red Rights".He has been to the Soviet Union twice, wrote many reportage works, and enthusiastically praised the world's first country under the dictatorship of the proletariat.For this reason, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Czech reactionary authorities.After he was released from prison, he actively participated in the miners' strike in the northern Czech Republic in the spring of 1932, and reported the truth about the miners' struggle.After 1936, Czech independence was increasingly threatened by Nazi Germany.The Munich agreement betrayed his country.With strong patriotic feelings, Fucik wrote many political articles, leaflets, manifestos, and letters to the people, exposing the treachery of enemies at home and abroad and the aggressive ambitions of the Nazi bandits, and calling on the people to fight.

On March 15, 1939, the entire Czech Republic was occupied by Hitler's Germany.While actively participating in and leading the underground struggle, Fucik continued to study Czech literature of the nineteenth century.He has written monographs on writers who occupy an important position in the history of Czech literature, such as Nemcova and Jan Neruda.These literary research works written from the standpoint of Marxism have contributed to the cause of literary criticism of the Czech proletariat. Fucik was unfortunately arrested in April 1942 due to betrayal by a traitor.The enemy used all kinds of torture, both soft and hard, but he withstood the most severe test physically and mentally, and did not waver in his belief.He was imprisoned for 411 days in the Nazi German Gestapo Prison in Pankrates, Prague, and was killed in Berlin's Blochens Prison on September 8, 1943.

Fucik's glorious fighting life will forever be engraved in the hearts of the Czech people, becoming a symbol of the victory of the Czech nation, and will always inspire people to fight bravely and tenaciously for freedom, national independence and a better future.
