"Orwell Classics" includes two novels, "1984" and "Animal Farm". Among them, "1984" tells the story of an "Oceania" under totalitarian rule. People's thoughts are suppressed. No matter what they are doing or where they are, they are subject to various surveillance: telescreens, thought police, patrols, and the youth team whose thoughts have been completely controlled. Life is always in fear. The protagonist Winston Smith lives in this country. His main job is to tamper with previous history every day in the "Ministry of Truth", working and surviving in lies. "Animal Farm" is known as one of "the best books ever written by mankind". In an exaggerated and absurd form, the work tells the story of animals who have been enslaved on a farm for a long time. In order to achieve freedom and liberation, the work successfully carried out a revolution and established an equal animal society. In the end, the fruits of the revolution were usurped by the animals' leader, the pig, and they returned to their previous miserable lives.

"Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's outstanding works. It is a dystopian political allegory that penetrates the heart. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more dictatorial and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts.

A pig in the farm of "Animal Farm" died after proposing the theory that "human beings exploit livestock, and livestock must rebel." A few days later, a rebellion led by pigs broke out in the farm. The original exploiters, the farmers, were driven away. The livestock realized their wish to be "the masters of the country" and tasted the joy of a successful rebellion. The farm was renamed "Animal Farm" and the constitution of the farm, the Seven Commandments, was formulated. But soon, the pigs leading the rebellion split, and one pig was declared an enemy; thereafter, the pigs that gained leadership had more and more power and more and more special treatment, gradually separated from other animals, and eventually transformed into livestock exploiters exactly like humans, and the name Animal Farm was also abandoned.
