The novel tells the story of Kikuji, who was born in a famous tea ceremony family, and quietly met several women who had a close relationship with his father at a tea party, and was involved in the whirlpool of fate. The work uses Yukiko's cloth bag decorated with thousands of cranes as a symbol of beauty, to metaphorize that the beautiful and pure women in the heart are like flowers in the water, moon and mirror, out of reach. In the conflict between morality and taboo, it touches the cold and warm love, famous objects, life and death, showing an illusory beauty of sorrow. The sin may not be eradicated, but the sorrow will eventually pass. Supreme purity cannot be contaminated by any filth, and it is therefore inclusive of everything.

Osamu Dazai's helpless swan song of life deep in the soul is written to the self in our hearts that was once cowardly but eager to realize. "Disqualified" is the last work of Dazai Osamu's life, and it is also an eternal classic of Japanese literature. The whole book describes Ye Zang's continuous sinking in order to escape reality from childhood, adolescence to middle age. He experienced self-exile, alcoholism, suicide, numbing himself with drugs, and finally walked towards the tragedy of destruction step by step. Through Ye Zang's life experiences and the process of constant self-denial, Dazai Osamu also expressed the depressed emotions buried deep in his heart and the desire to be loved. Therefore, this work is regarded as Dazai's semi-autobiographical work. Through this work, he attempted to raise the most sincere and sharp questions about being a human being to the world. The contradictions and struggles accumulated throughout his life can be seen between the lines. The wonderful thing is that even though Ye Zang mocks himself for "a life full of shame," he is still fascinating, as if he is the only one who truly sees the essence of human beings in the world, shouts out the ugliness of human nature on behalf of the world, and steps towards the road of gradually losing his qualifications as a human being like atonement. After completing this work, Osamu Dazai committed suicide by drowning at the age of 38, marking the final end of his disqualified life.

"Les Misérables" is another magnificent masterpiece written by the famous French romantic writer Victor Hugo after "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It is a novel that represents Hugo's thoughts and artistic style. With outstanding artistic expression, the book shows people a picture of the French Revolution from 1793 to 1832 through the description of the tragic experiences of Jean Valjean and others and a series of touching deeds done by Jean Valjean after he was converted by Bishop Myrière. The brilliant picture of French social and political life during the Paris Popular Uprising in 2006 profoundly exposed and criticized the decadent nature of French society and its criminal phenomena at that time, and expressed compassion and sympathy for the exploitation, fraud and cruel persecution suffered by the poor people under heavy pressure. "Notre Dame de Paris" is set in France under the rule of Louis XI in 1482. It describes the entanglement between a gypsy girl, Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, and the outcast Quasimodo. The truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil, and ugliness of the characters are all magnified. Quasimodo, who is ugly, deaf and mute, has a noble and pure heart. Esmeralda is a beautiful and pure dancer who was framed to death by Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, because she did not succumb to his desires. Quasimodo was desperate for losing his idol, and angrily pushed Frollo from the top floor to his death. He also went to the cemetery and committed suicide next to Esmeralda's body. "1993" Is an important work in the later years of the famous French writer Victor Hugo, and it is also his last novel.

He developed an intricate plot around them, depicting the historical scene of the desperate struggle between the bourgeoisie and the feudal forces in 1793.
