Content introduction (within 10,000 words) "A Thousand Cranes" contains four classic novels by the world-famous writer Kawabata Yasunari, "A Thousand Cranes", "Cangha Plover", "Dancing Girl of Izu" and "Hot Spring Hotel". Among them, "One Thousand Cranes" was one of the three novels mentioned when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. It tells a story involving two generations. Mitani Kikuji's father is a famous tea ceremony master. Many years after his father's death, Kikuji and Ohta met unexpectedly at a tea party held by Chigako. The novel expresses the conflict between love and morality, and depicts Japanese scenery and psychology to the extreme; "Cangha Plover" is the sequel to "A Thousand Cranes", telling the story of Kikuji and Inamura Yukiko after their marriage, and also presents a lightly sentimental aesthetic of mourning; "Izu No Dancing Girl" tells the story of a twenty-year-old boy in Tokyo. In order to relieve the unspeakable melancholy and anguish in his heart, he traveled alone to Izu, met a group of wandering artists, and had a longing for the innocent and honest little dancer. The four stories, about love, youth and life, are like sad lyrical poems, fully presenting Kawabata Yasunari's aesthetics.
