"Kindness" is a collection of short stories and short stories by Hungarian writer Krasnohorkaj Laszlo, which includes eight stories including his masterpieces "The Trap of Ruz" and "The Barber's Hands". His works are obscure and have gloomy themes, and are often classified as postmodern novels. The sentence structure in the story is weird, the location is ambiguous, the meaning is elusive, the plot is extremely jumpy, the structure is often radioactive, the narrator is always unclear, and the ending is full of mystery. In addition, the preface written by teacher Yu Zemin for the work is also very exciting. It not only details the author's creative process, but also analyzes Laszlo's almost crazy "Chinese complex" with first-hand information based on his own experience. There is no doubt that this will shorten the distance between readers and the work.

What Hitchcock contributed to the art of film is definitely not just pure film techniques.

Hitchcock's movies are a contradictory unity of life and death, crime and punishment, reason and madness, innocence and temptation, repression and resistance. They are poems that directly address the dark hearts of people. He has been called the "Freud of film."

From 1914 to 1945, the world experienced the catastrophes of two wars, and people have never been so eager for peace. From February 4 to February 11, 1945, when the dawn of peace began to emerge, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, together with their shrewd negotiators, held a secret meeting in Yalta. In just eight days, the three giants held chips of varying sizes, sometimes joining forces in pairs, sometimes betraying each other, sometimes being tough, sometimes compromising, swinging between ideas and reality, morality and interests, ideology and geopolitics. They want to end the war as soon as possible, they want to protect the interests of the victorious country, and they also want to curb the root causes of all wars, and all of this is at the expense of the interests of small countries. Poland, Germany, China... The post-war trajectories of many countries changed. At the end of the meeting, the participants were full of optimistic hope. They had achieved what they wanted, and believed that the compromise and understanding represented by the Yalta spirit would become the basis of post-war Allied relations. However, in 1947, the Iron Curtain fell and the Cold War began. Yalta became a symbol of missed opportunities for peace. Shahili Ploki, an expert on Eastern European history at Harvard University, wants to rectify the name of the Yalta Conference. He combed through declassified Soviet archives, government documents from various countries, participant memoirs and unpublished diaries to vividly illustrate this highly controversial and far-reaching meeting. He reconstructed the situation at that time, starting from the choices, calculations, interests, and ideas of the participants in the meeting, and proved that although Yalta was an important step on the road to a divided and dangerous world, it was by no means the cause of the Cold War.
