George Orwell, the author of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and Animal Farm and the forerunner of anti-utopia, has always been a firm socialist in his life.This may confuse the contemporary readers who do not understand the changes in the political spectrum, but for Orwell, this is a natural choice. In 1930s, commissioned by a left-wing book club, Orwell went to the northern industrial area to investigate the real situation of the working class.What Orwell did was not just an investigation; he went down to the deepest part of the mine, lived in a crumbling, dirty worker’s house, and described every aspect of the life of the coal miners with the pen. 80 years later, when reading the book, it is still really enlightening.The despair and poverty conveyed by this book is a terrifying force that transcends the times and borders.At the same time, The Road to Wigan Pier is Orwell’s socialist road to examine his own heart.Born in the middle class of England, he reviewed how he gradually suspected and hated the strict class barriers that broke the British society at that time.Because in his mind, socialism only means a concept in the final analysis:"Justice and freedom".
