Born in the early 20th century and died in the 1990s, Gray belongs to a bygone era: as a person who has experienced the air raids on London in World War II, the post-war independence wave of former colonies, the Middle East war, and regional conflicts, the most indispensable thing in life should be danger. But contrary to ordinary people's thinking, Green's escape is precisely to the most dangerous, turbulent, and war-torn places, and many times he is on the line of fire. He once spent a whole day in the precarious French military camp on the eve of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu (Shortly thereafter, Dien Bien Phu was engulfed by artillery fire and the French army was wiped out). He was once accidentally shelled along the Suez Canal during the Middle East War. He listened to dense shells passing overhead and exploding behind him for four hours. During World War II, he served as an agent for British intelligence and spent two full years doing counterintelligence work in Sierra Leone, West Africa. These legendary experiences certainly provided him with a lot of important novel material. What is he running from on this journey that may lead to no return? Gray didn't say it clearly, but judging from his personality, he was most afraid of repeating life, writing, and himself. And in our time, how many people can confidently say that they are not prisoners of a predetermined fate?

Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature 21 times, the true "uncrowned king" of the Nobel Prize, the work of Graham Greene, the master British novelist of the 20th century, the legendary life of a famous British writer, a shocking group painting of the turbulent fifty years of the 20th century, and a masterpiece in the field of writer's autobiography. For many writers, writing is an escape from real life; for others, an adventure-like life is an escape from boring writing. Graham Greene clearly falls into the latter category. This is also the origin of this autobiography. The curse of his personality prevents him from stopping to look for danger - obviously, a boring, monotonous and peaceful life is more terrifying than the shadow of death. There is no doubt that Gray is a brave man and has his own principles of justice; his escapes are not only bizarre adventures, but also fighting in his own way.

Graham Greene is a master British novelist. He is extremely pessimistic and world-weary, but he is most concerned about the struggle and redemption of the soul; "evil" is everywhere in his works, violence, crime, betrayal, and fall are everywhere, but the most thrilling thing is the inner moral and spiritual struggle of the individual; the characters in his works are despicable and desperate At the top, the brilliance of humanity can bloom in the mud; he can be called the most serious, pessimistic and religious writer of the 20th century. He is also a master of storytelling. He is one of the most star-studded writers in the entire Western world in the 20th century and one of the most read novelists. Greene divides his works into two categories: "serious novels" and "entertainment novels". "A Case of Self-Infected Virus" is one of the most famous "serious novels". It is set in the Congo colony and the leprosy hospital, showing the mental journey of a European hermit who is extremely spiritually empty and desperate and gradually moves towards new life, focusing on exploring the possibility of spiritual redemption.

In "Life Was Like This", Green recalls his student days and Oxford years, how he encountered psychoanalysis and Russian roulette in adolescence, his marriage and conversion to Catholicism, and how he hurriedly resigned from The Times after the publication of his first novel to become a professional writer. "Writing 'Life Was Like This'... is essentially a form of psychoanalysis. I have traveled a long distance through time, and I am one of the characters I write about."

What this book tells is not a fictional story about a distant continent, but the real daily life around you and me. We are all more or less like the protagonist, burning ourselves out hysterically and then falling irresistibly into the void. The architect Querrey suffered from a disease - a disease that burned out his passion for life. The limbs are healthy and sound, but the spirit is incomplete; living tiredly while helplessly looking for a way out. He left behind the glitz and hustle and bustle of the city and exiled himself to the jungles of Africa. Facing dilapidation and poverty, he felt happiness and prosperity for the first time in a long time. He thought he was about to recover, but he didn't expect that everything was just a precursor to the coming storm.
