Anton Chekhov died in 1904 on this day. He was a good person and a great writer.

But he was a bad prophet: a month before he died, he said people would read his stories for 7 years at most.

122 years later, people are still reading. Here's why (link in comments):

A sultry, stifling midday. Not a cloudlet in the sky.
The sun-baked grass had a disconsolate, hopeless
look: even if there were rain, it could never be green again.

“Chekhov's gun” - every element in a story should be necessary; remove irrelevant elements. From Anton Chekhov: if a loaded rifle is placed on the stage in the first act, it must absolutely go off by the second or third act. If it isn't going to be fired, it shouldn't be there.

"There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when you’re angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when you’re asked."
~ Anton Chekhov

to understand life,
then stop believing
what they say and write,
but observe
and feel.”

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
