In his later years, Rousseau revisited the past and examined his life. "The Reveries of the Lonely Walker" is his defense of himself. Together with "Confessions" and "Dialogue: Rousseau Comments on Jean-Jacques", it is called the "Rousseau Autobiography Trilogy". These ten rambler's reveries reveal Rousseau's thoughts of admiring feelings, praising oneself, and loving nature.

From 1776 to 1778, Rousseau, whose reputation fell and was exiled, spent a turbulent time in Paris, France. At the end of his life, without any brothers, relatives or friends, and alone, he put down his disgust for the surrounding environment and in-depth analysis and reflections on himself in the form of prose, creating the last autobiographical work before his death, "The Reveries of a Lonely Walker". The ten "Wanderings" are Rousseau's daydream diaries when he walked on the streets, walked in the fields, studied plants, and recalled the past. They are also Rousseau's attempt to calm his anxiety and soothe his lonely soul over and over again in a state of contradictions and hesitations. He talked with himself and nature, and then conducted a philosophical reflection on human beings and the spiritual world.

"Confessions" is a unique, original and unparalleled work. In the book, Rousseau describes his life experience of more than 50 years from his birth to his departure from St. Pierre Island in 1766 with amazing honesty, frankness and deep introspection. He tells all his thoughts and feelings, and analyzes his behavior and inner world. The advent of the novel opened up the path of romantic literature and profoundly influenced the development of European thought and literature in the 19th century.

"Confessions" (1781-1788) records Rousseau's life experience for more than fifty years from his birth to his forced departure from the Island of Saint-Pierre in 1766. Rousseau recounted the rough treatment he received when he was a child, the abuse he received after joining the world, and all the darkness and injustice he heard and witnessed. He angrily exposed society's "law of the jungle", "might makes right" and the ugliness and decay of the ruling class. "Confessions" is a very candid autobiography. In the book, Rousseau claimed that "I tell my virtues and my sins with equal frankness... Showing myself exactly as I am."

"New Love Louise" describes the love story of the 18th-century aristocratic girl Yuli Datangra and her young tutor and civilian intellectual Saint Pluan. Yu Li's father is an aristocrat with a strong sense of feudal hierarchy and firmly opposes the union of this pair of lovers. At first, Yu Xian listened to his own voice and committed himself to Saint Pluan. Later, he succumbed to his father's will and married de Vollmart, a middle-aged man from the aristocratic class who was well-matched to his family. Saint Pu Luan had to leave Yu Li. After Yu Li got married, she confided to her husband her past love affair with Saint-Pluan. De Volmare showed his trust in them and brought Saint-Pluan to his home. The old lovers spent time together day and night, trying their best to suppress their inner feelings, but they felt deeply painful about it. Later, Yu Li's son accidentally fell into the water, and she threw herself into the lake to save him. The mother and son were rescued, but Yu Li died of illness soon after. Before her death, she wrote a suicide note to Saint Pu Luan, saying that she had sacrificed her life at the cost of her life.
