For example, people always believe that problems can be solved by using their brains, that stories are originally told by humans, and that liars will have no good end... These all stem from the lies made up by the Spider God. The Spider God's lies are certainly abominable, but without the humor behind his lies and the wisdom behind his tricks, the world would be so boring, dark, and ordinary. The truth is also false when it is false. Only by tearing apart the Spider God's web of lies can we see the true meaning of life...

"The Burning Ocean: 1941-1942, from the Assault on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway": In the early morning of December 7, 1941, the residents of Honolulu, who were used to military exercises, woke up to the noisy sound of artillery fire as usual. They did not realize that a magnificent symphony that staked the fate of the country had already been played... The arrogant Japan declared an undeclared war on the United States. The two giant ships of Pearl Harbor soared into flames, and the unsinkable legend disappeared into the towering black smoke. The battle situation in these six months not only determined the direction of the Pacific War, but also affected the entire situation of World War II. If the balance of history moves even a little bit, the world we know will be completely different. "The Burning Ocean" writes about the gripping initial stage of the Pacific War. From it, we can not only appreciate the strategizing behind Roosevelt and Churchill's chatting and laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku's arrogant gamble, but also the despair of the pilots who narrowly escaped death when faced with the relics of their fallen comrades, and the despair of the fleet commander when he received unfavorable information just after issuing an order. Along with the ups and downs of the characters in the book, history is no longer out of reach. "The Fury of Conquest: 1942-1944, from the Battle of Guadalcanal to the Battle of the Philippine Sea": In early June 1942, the Japanese army, eager to win, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway. The desire for a quick victory was completely shattered. The Pacific War has since turned into a protracted war of attrition. After the Allied forces sounded the clarion call for counterattack, the beautiful Pacific islands, from the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands to the Marshall Islands, all turned into blood-filled Shura fields.

"Hot Night Dreams": In the 19th century, on the eve of the Civil War, the Mississippi River was filled with the dreams of all boatmen. Countless steamships chase each other on this arterial waterway, competing for money and honors, with long whistles and white smoke billowing. Just when a snow disaster almost destroyed Captain Abner Marsh's shipping career, he received a letter from a mysterious man. The promise of gold and a magnificent new ship that could make history made Captain Marsh irresistible. Joshua York came to seek cooperation and wanted to cross the majestic Mississippi River. He hoped that Marsh could help him. The only requirement was to respect his privacy and not doubt his decision, no matter how bizarre, arbitrary or abnormal his behavior seemed. Although Marsh instinctively sensed that the proposal was fraught with dangerous secrets, he decided to go all-in. They built a steamboat called "Hot Night's Dream" that perfectly matched all of Captain Marsh's dreams. It wasn't until the new ship made its maiden voyage that Marsh realized what had happened... Along the way, the "Hot Night's Dream" turned the Mississippi into a river of blood; and it itself gradually turned into a blood ship. "The Passing of Light": The protagonist Dirk is summoned by his lover who has left him long ago and comes to the planet Voron. However, Voroun is a world completely outside of Dirk's experience, and Gwen is no longer the woman he is familiar with. Surrounded by conspiracies, Dirk is increasingly unable to distinguish between his allies and enemies... In this unforgettable space opera, George R. R. Martin unfolds a chilling eternal night - a turbulent world filled with cultural conflicts, a lack of honor code, and the identities of hunter and prey are often interchanged.

Khazar Dictionary: Yang Version (classic Translation)

At least once in his life every man becomes part of Adam's body, that is the moment of revelation. Only this short period of time is light and belongs to oneself. The rest of the time is darkness and is used by others. This moment of revelation is what the Khazars call a "dream." The purpose of the Khazar dream catchers is to collect these moments and piece together the body of Adam... The Khazar king wanted to convert to a religion and choose one of the three religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, so representatives of Christianity (Orthodox), Judaism, and Islam in Constantinople gathered in the Khazar capital and held a "Khazar Debate." The three religions each have their own opinions on the outcome of the debate. Since the history written by the Khazars themselves has been lost to obscurity, the results of this great debate can only be supported by Christian, Jewish and Islamic documents. However, the results recorded by the three religions are contradictory, and they all believe that their religion has won the victory. So at the end of the seventeenth century (that is, hundreds of years later), a Khazar dictionary came out, which included records of debates between the three major sects. The book was divided into three parts, namely the Red Book, the Green Book, and the Yellow Book, which recorded the respective opinions of the three major sects.
