Why Did Tolstoy Leave Home?
托尔斯泰为何要出走?
我就是俄国大作家,托尔劳动保护泰,我一生写了不少小说。我有着一颗平凡而又善良的心,贵族的身份并没有阻止我去同情那些贫苦的农民。人们都说我傻,谁又能理解我呢?
I am the famous Russian novelist—Tolstoy. I’ve written quite a few novels in my life. I was kind warm-hearted. My noble status cannot prevent me from having sympathy for those poor peasants. Everyone calls me stupid, but who can truly understand me?

古知道俄国大作家托尔斯泰晚年的生活并不幸福,他被迫离家出走,最后客死他乡。为什么会这样呢?找他问个究竟吧。
Gugu learned that Tolstoy wasn’t happy in his old age. He was forced to leave home and died elsewhere at last. Why? Gugu decided to find it out.
(G=Gugu ) T=Tolstoy)
古古:我不明白,您已经年迈体衰了,为什么还要离家出走?
托尔斯泰:大概人们都把我当做一个任性的老人吧。谁又能理解我的苦衷呢?
古古:您到底有什么苦衷呢?
托尔斯泰:我想把家产分给穷人,并放弃著作权无偿出版,将所有的作品献给社会。
古古:这我是好事啊!
托尔斯泰:可是我妻子不同意,她地。我太失望了!
古古:她或许有自己的理由啊。
托尔斯泰:她的理由无非就是为了维持一个家而已。
古古:我理解她。
托尔斯泰:我知道你们都偏袒她。可是我为了那伟大的社会理想,为了整个人类的幸福,又有什么错?
古古:我也能理解您。你们只是理想不同而已。
G:I don’t understand. You were so old and poor in health. Why did you leave home?
T:I know that I’m taken as a willful old man. But nobody can really know my difficulty.
G:What is it?
T:I’d like to give my wealth to the poor and publish my works for nothing. I wanna distribute all of them to society.
G:So noble!
T:But my wife disagreed with me. She was firmly objecting to it. I was so disappointed!
G:She might have her own excuses.
G:That would be no more than supporting? the family.
T:I know you all think she was right. But why am I wrong? My great ideal? Providing happiness for the whole of society?
G:I can understand you, too. It’s just that you two are for different things.
