"Invasion" is a political fantasy novel, a late work by the American best-selling author Van Loon, and one of his only two novels. Van Loon said that this novel in which he is the protagonist is "a dirty and despicable little book in the style of Goebbels." When this book was first published in the United States in 1940, it was subtitled "Eyewitness Accounts of the Nazi Invasion of the United States." This book dramatically shows how events that have happened in Europe will be repeated on this side of the Atlantic in the United States: New York is invaded by the Nazis, and the American authorities withhold concessions in order not to anger Hitler. To add documentary authenticity to what he wrote, Van Loon placed himself, his family, neighbors, and friends at center stage during the Nazi invasion, referring to them by their real names or nicknames. The sense of crisis that Van Rooster wanted to convey to Americans was not far-fetched in light of subsequent events: the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor using an aircraft carrier and the landing of Nazi saboteurs on the eastern end of Long Island near New York City. In a letter to the editor of the newspaper, Van Loon stated that his fictitious invasion of New York had already occurred in Norway, and that he had simply replaced Oslo with New York. His intention was to arouse people's hatred of the German rulers and the realization that they could no longer retreat into the ivory tower and ignore right and wrong.

It is the first winning work of Xinchaoshe Literature Award. After Yukio Mishima traveled to Greece, he vowed to write a Japanese-style legendary love novel based on the excellent pastoral legendary love novel "Daphnis and Heroa" by Langos in ancient Greece to praise simple and sincere love. This is how the novel "Chao Sao" was born. Chao Sao, the sound of waves lapping at the shore, tells the story of a pure love story in the style of a fisherman's song that happened on Song Island. Shinji, an 18-year-old fisherman, met Hatsue, a beautiful girl who had just returned from overseas, and they fell in love at first sight. Later, we learned that Hatsue was the daughter of a wealthy family, Miyata Teruyoshi, who was fostered out of town. They fell in love unknowingly during their encounters, but they never transcended their moral norms. Anfu, a wealthy boy on the island, also likes Hatsue. Yasuo then spread rumors about Shinji and Hatsue on the island, which made Hatsue's father very angry and strictly prohibited the two from interacting with each other. Later, Hatsue's father entrusted the captain of his company's motorboat to take Shinji and Yasuo out to sea to assess their performance. The ship encountered danger when it returned. At the critical moment, Yasuo was greedy for life and feared death. Shinji stepped forward and risked his life to turn the situation around and save a ship owned by Hatsue's father. Shinji's performance won the approval and praise of Chujiang's father, and the couple finally got married. The author's description of youth improves the purity of love. The novel runs through the dominant ideas of natural beauty and human beauty, embedding the characters' lives, labor, thoughts, and emotions in the natural picture frame of the sea, creating a unique charm of natural beauty.
