To portray life as it should be. This was writer Anton Chekhov’s purpose, and nothing deflected him from it. Through writing, Chekhov, who was born #OnThisDay in 1832, illustrated the miseries of life around him in order to point to a better life ahead.
Despite a short creative life spanning over less than two decades, Chekhov managed to secure his status as one of the greatest contributors to world literature. Known as the master of the short story, his work continues to inspire to this day.

《契訶夫傳》還是讓我找到些Suvorin的資料
In many ways, the right-wing Suvorin, whom Lenin later called "The running dog of the Tzar" (Payne, XXXV), was Chekhov's opposite; "Chekhov had to function like Suvorin's kidney, extracting the businessman's poisons." Wood, 79 .
