"Ether Channel" is a concrete depiction of the "future new world". This new world is not impossible to achieve materially. The real problem lies in how to find the channel in the spiritual world. So the writer extended his brush to history and created "Yepifan Water Gate" and "Station Village", using "historical reality" to think about the roots of the people's spiritual home and explore the methods of transformation of the spiritual world. "Happy Moskva" is an attempt to integrate spirituality and materiality in the new world. However, after a long period of exploration, the final result is the tranquility of reality, and the transformation of the spiritual world is still difficult to achieve.

Fusang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the invitation. I'm scared to death. You can have your meal now. But it's not Da Lang, it's Senior Sister." As a lover of novels, I have read hundreds if not thousands of novels. Yesterday I accidentally saw a novel about Immortal Cultivation Dragon Aotian's slap in the face. I clicked on it for some reason, and then I found that the vicious senior sister in it had the same name as myself! ! Help, I just made a joke with my friend about wearing a book to warn me to go to bed at night, and the next second I opened my eyes, the warning actually came true. She looked at the beautiful boy holding a dark bowl beside the bed and gritted her teeth, "Junior brother, can you not drink it?" Xu Muyang wanted Fusang to die, he wanted to break her bones and muscles, he wanted to destroy her spiritual veins, he wanted to throw her into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, he wanted to return everything he had suffered to her... However, he couldn't bear to let her truly die. He slowly wanted her eyes to be all about him, her heart, her brain, and everything to be all about him. He knew that he was crazy, but he was crazy from the beginning, wasn't he? The young man held the girl in his arms and whispered, "Sister, you rescued me. I am yours. You should also be mine, right?" The senior sister who eats and waits for death vs. The crazy junior brother Heilian Light is not salvation, you are. Note: The male protagonist is not a pitiful person, he is a pretending boss!

This book is a collection of short stories, consisting of 27 short dialogues between mythological characters. It is a strange book with a special form and a representative work in the collection of Pavese's short stories. Through dialogues between characters from ancient Greek mythology, the writer talks about universal experiences of the world: childhood, family, sexuality, poetry, love, struggle, failure and resistance. The selected mythological characters are closely related to the author's personal troubles, interests, and concepts, and are his Jungian prototypes and poetic endorsements. One reference for this book is Leopardi's "Moral Pieces" (19th-century Italian poet and philosopher), but "Dialogues" focuses more on mythology than philosophy. In his interpretation and rewriting of traditional mythology, Pavese presents fundamental themes such as fate, tragedy, childhood, and failure. These mythological characters are closely related to the author's personal troubles, interests, and concepts, and are his Jungian prototypes and poetic endorsements.
