This book tells the story of how a girl explores her own path in life and becomes her own story when faced with all kinds of doubts and oppression. Sometimes it is so funny that it makes you laugh, and sometimes it is so sad that it is almost cruel. Life is an alternation of sorrow and joy. Being confused will make you miss opportunities and ultimately be frustrated. Courage leads you to row forward and swim upstream. The stubborn child in everyone's heart is the source of our strength to fight against injustice, oppression and threats. We receive instruction, we receive knowledge, we receive boundaries between right and wrong, truth and fiction. One day, we will discover: the wall collapses, and it turns out that there is another world, another destiny, and other possibilities outside. And oranges are never the only fruit.

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. Winterson reveals the lightness of life and the weight of responsibility through this story of loss and recovery. Where does the weight come from? After reading this book, you will find an answer; however, many years later, after experiencing so many gains and losses in life, you may give another answer.
