On February 7th, 1812, Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England. Charles was the second child in the family. The Dickens family often had money troubles, so they had to borrow money from their friends and relatives. What's more, Charles' father's job required the family to move from place to place quite often.
In February 1824, his father owed（欠） money and was put in prison. The Dickens family had to sell all their things. Charles was sent to work in his uncle's factory to make money. There were many rats in the factory, and Charles hated this job very much.
Two months later, Charles' grandmother died. His father used the £450 she left to pay

back his debts（债务） and was set free from prison. Charles went back to school and studied at Wellington House Academy for two years. However, his father got into debt again, so he had to leave school to work. This time, he worked in a lawyer's office, but he didn't like the job. So he left and became a reporter for newspapers. He travelled around the country to collect news, and wrote his reports on an uncomfortable stagecoach（驿站马车） when he was on his way back to London.
In 1833, Charles Dickens sold his first short story, and his works soon became very popular. In 1836, he married Catherine Hogarth. When Dickens walked around London to look for ideas for his novels, people could easily know who he was. He even went to America to speak about his works. He put all the things he had seen in real life into his books, telling people how hard and unhappy the life of poor people was.
In 1865, he was in a serious train crash. Although he was not hurt, ten people died and Dickens helped the wounded. This frightening experience left him so nervous about travelling by train that he hardly ever took it for the rest of his life. He passed away at his home on June 9th, 1870. Following his wishes for a simple ceremony, only 12 people went to his burial（葬礼）. At the time of his death, he was still working on a new novel.
