Lucas's "Picking Up Things", selected and translated James Joyce's "Eurystheus" (i. E. Ulysses), inserted three sections, and selected and translated "Lei Xing's Autographs" from "Hamburg Drama Review" (Lei Xing's Autobiography) Lessing), Rilke's "On the Criterion of Taste" by Rilke, the philosopher Hume's "On the Criterion of Taste", the famous Renaissance art researcher Giorgio Vasari's "Anecdotes of Leonardo da Vinci" and an abridged translation of the famous "Evidence of Aristotle's Poetics" by Italian drama theorist Castel Vitro. In terms of poetry translation, the twenty-seven Rilke poems selected for translation from the Sino-German Comparative Edition of "Selected Poems of Rilke" (now commonly translated as Rilke) produced by the Sino-German Society at that time were supplemented by Wu Xinghua, as well as "Copy of Shelley's Poems", "Copy of Tennyson's Poems", "Copy of Moore's Poems", "Copy of Poems of Scotto", etc.
