Janet Winterson, a talented British female writer, is well-known in China for her "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit". This Whitbread Award winner has created many classics with her outstanding writing style and outstanding talent. She said in the preface of "Weight" that "choosing a subject is like choosing a lover, it is such a private decision." Her choice to retell the story of the hero and Hercules stems from her unique thinking about fate, responsibility, freedom, etc. Atlas turned his back on the sky and Hercules picked the golden apples. They all had the opportunity to live another life, but in the end they all returned to the origin.
