Describe Rou Shi's works and creative background in detail, and select classic works.

"Mother of a Slave" is one of Rou Shi's classic masterpieces. The author uses the wife bonding system of the old society as a clue, uses sharp language to describe the unfortunate stories of people of the era, and calls on the people to rise up to resist and revolution. This book tells the story that after Chun Bao Niang gave birth to Chun Bao, she was pawned into the scholar's family as a slave to carry on the family line. At the scholar's home, he endured the bullying from the scholar's wife while missing his son Chunbao. When Chun Baoniang gave birth to an heir, Qiubao, for the scholar, she was expelled by the scholar's eldest wife. I can see Chun Bao, but I can't see Qiu Bao. The whole story uses Chun Baoniang's longing for her two children as the conflicting point and her eventual inability to see each other again. It tells the story of Chun Baoniang's tragic fate of being "imprisoned" and criticizes the corruption of the old social system. In addition to "Mother of a Slave", this book also includes Rou Shi's only novel "Death of the Old Era", which was recommended for publication by Lu Xun. It mainly tells the story of Zhu Shengyu, a young intellectual from the bottom who was infected with the "disease of the times" and was unable to find the meaning of life and a personal way out. He eventually committed suicide due to being unable to adjust due to various depressions.

Among the writers of the 1920s and 1930s, Rou Shi was unique in his style. His creations paid special attention to the living conditions of rural areas and farmers in old China, especially women. Their miserable lives, tragic fate and spiritual suffering were truly and vividly expressed in his works, reflecting the nature of an era when suffering was profound and the people were in dire straits. This book selects two representative novellas and sixteen representative short stories by Rou Shi. Through the many words, it seems that we can still see a wandering figure carrying a deep feeling of family and country, exploring hard in the darkness.

The peaceful atmosphere in my family may be broken from now on. My mother used to love me the most, but now she doesn't love me anymore because I don't want to listen to her. When I was extremely depressed, I would run to my mother for no reason, lie in her arms and cry. My mother would ask me why, but the more I was asked, the more I cried, until I seemed to have run out of tears. At this time, my mother asked me why, but I asked her breathlessly: "There is no reason, Mom, I just feel like I'm going to cry!" My mother also asked: "What are you thinking of?" "I don't think of anything, I just feel like I'm going to cry!" I leaned on my mother's face, and my mother patted my back and called me "crazy daughter" several times. So I went to bed and slept, or slept all day and night from then on. In this way, my depression will be reduced.
