Shakespeare breaks through the network structure of traditional historical dramas in which multiple clues intertwine and develop, and adopts a structure in which two clues develop in parallel - the clue of court life represented by Henry IV and the clue of city life represented by Falstaff. In the play, the relaxed, mediocre, happy city life full of mischief is in sharp contrast with the tense, complicated palace life full of bloody conspiracies, making the content of the work not only exude a strong flavor of life, but also have a certain historical depth.

"The Man Without a Father", also known as "Platonov", is a work written by the great dramatist Anton Chekhov when he was studying at the age of 19. Although he was a little immature, he already showed his amazing creative talent. The translator, Mr. Tong Daoming, is a famous drama critic and an industry-recognized expert on Chekhov. The script describes the decline of provincial aristocratic estates and depicts the image of a group of intellectuals, represented by the protagonist Platonov, who have nothing to do and spend their days in melancholy. It is the precursor of a series of "superfluous people" characters at the end of the century created in Chekhov's later works. As the book's introduction author and well-known director Wang Xiaoying said, "Platonov's excellence and sensitivity make him like the nerve endings of the organic whole of human beings. He feels and bears the spiritual distress that belongs to us all before us and is stronger than us... Is Platonov noble or despicable? Tragic or tragic? Is it comic? Will it make people cry or laugh? Should we sympathize with him or despise him? ... The 19-year-old Chekhov leaves today's people at a loss, and the modernity of "The Man Without a Father" may lie in this. "This book is the sixth volume of the "Famous Guide Edition" of "The Complete Works of Chekhov's Plays", with audio interpretations of famous scenes from Chekhov's plays.
