Where is Robinson's origin?

Robinson was born in a merchant family and likes sailing. When he was sailing, he was hit by a storm and all his companions were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to a deserted island. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship to transport supplies, set up a tent at the edge of the hill and settled down, made furniture such as tables and chairs with simple tools, hunted game for food and drank fresh water from the stream.

In order to solve the food problem, barley and rice were planted on the island, and rough bread was baked by making tools. He captured and domesticated wild goats, let them breed, and made pottery, etc., to ensure his own needs.

Robinson never gave up looking for a way to leave the island, but the boat he made was unusable. Until the 24th year, another group of savages came to the island, with prisoners ready to kill and eat. After Robinson discovered it, he rescued one of the prisoners named "Friday" and then rescued a Spaniard and his father with "Friday".

Soon an English ship docked near the island, and the sailors on board rebelled and abandoned the captain and other three people on the island. Robinson and Friday helped the captain subdue the rebellious sailors and recapture the ship. He left the sailors on the island and left the desert island for England with Friday and the captain.

After returning to China, he got married and gave birth to three children. After his wife died, Robinson passed through the desert island where he lived. At this time, the sailors and Spaniards who stayed on the island had settled down and prospered. Robinson sent some new immigrants, gave them the land on the island, and left them with all kinds of daily necessities, leaving the island with satisfaction.

the creative background of Robinson Crusoe

Defoe, the author, lived in the era when British capitalism began to develop on a large scale. In 172, he published "Shortcuts to Eliminate Different Sects" and satirized the government's religious policy, so he was arrested and sentenced to three times. After he was released from prison, he was engaged in editing newspapers and periodicals, and wrote many political and economic pamphlets. He was arrested three times for his speech.

This novel is based on Alexander Selkirk's real experience on a desert island. According to the British magazine at that time, in April 174, Selkirk rebelled at sea and was abandoned by the captain on a small island called Masatier in Juan-Fernandez Islands, more than 9 kilometers off the coast of Chile. Four years and four months later, he was found by the navigator and rescued. At that time, Selkirk had forgotten human language and completely turned into a savage.

Defoe was inspired by this incident and conceived the story of Robinson. However, in the process of novel creation, Defoe created the image of Robinson with the enterprising spirit of the rising bourgeoisie and the colonial spirit of the 18th century, starting from his own impressions and feelings of the times.
