"About Love" - ​​Love and life in Chekhov's works. This book collects ten Chekhov short stories with the theme of love. By depicting the subtle psychology of men, women, old and young when facing love, it explores how love occurs and how it ends. Chekhov described various forms of love that have disappeared, imagined, and are about to come, ranging from expectation and warmth to absurdity and ridicule, as well as powerlessness and embarrassment. In these stories, we can see the dilemmas faced by people's hearts and their perceptions of life under the context of love. Chekhov tells us through his novels that facing love is facing life, and whether the ending is happy or unsolvable has been unpredictable since ancient times. However, the most important thing is whether you can capture the touching moment when love first comes, because that may be the opportunity to seize the opportunity to renovate your life. As to what the answer is, Chekhov leaves it up to the reader to find out.

The landowner is on the verge of bankruptcy and the cherry orchard will soon be auctioned off. The only rescue measure is to cut down all the cherry trees, build villas and collect rent. The landowner grew up here and was so attached to his homeland that he couldn't bear to cut down the cherry trees and was still reluctant to make up his mind. Eventually the cherry orchard was purchased by a former servant. The landowner's family left forever, living in a foreign land. At the end there is the sound of logging. This drama collection includes Chekhov's masterpieces "The Seagull", "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters", "The Cherry Orchard" and the one-act play "Swan Song". Chekhov's plays are more like prose. There is no conflict, no position, and no ending. The dialogue is ineffective, and the monologues tend to be arbitrary. The characters here are kind and noble, but they are all obsessed with fantasy, stumbling and becoming ridiculous in the rapidly changing life. But as long as they still exist, there is still hope for the world to get better, because among the cruel laws of nature, the most admirable thing is precisely "the survival of the weak."
