Wrestling with a Mosquito

Wang Jianping

27K0

A mosquito intervened in my life like a ghost. At first, I didn't mind it very much. It wasn't until it made my life cluttered that it attracted my attention. I am a professional poet and have published eight books of poetry. Although they were all self-published, which cost me a lot of printing fees, this did not affect my popularity in this city. Everyone knows that my real name is Lang Yihao and my pen name is Yihao. I feel like a lonely urban wolf, trying to wake people up from their desires through howling. In the beginning, writing poetry was just a hobby of mine. My profession was once a bank clerk, counting money in the sales department. Gradually, I discovered that counting money and writing poetry were two very conflicting professions - counting money killed the inspiration for many of my poems.

Wang Jianping

208K0

This book examines the interaction and tension between imperial discourse and national narrative in American literature (1832-1918), and explores how American literature, as an ideological representation, reflects the political culture and power relations of the empire. By analyzing regional imagination, representation and myth construction in American literary works, we explore the presentation of imperial discourse and national narrative in American literature. The history of the development of the American nation-state is also a history of intertwined national construction and imperial imagination. The tension between the two runs throughout, making each stage of its development carry the imprint of imperial discourse politics. It not only demonstrates the changes in American social concepts, but also reflects Americans' territorial awareness, imperial imagination, and national identity construction.

Lei Fuhu paced back and forth in the office like a trapped animal, and finally walked to the window. He held the window edge with his hands and took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions. The scenery outside the window was extremely solemn. The rows of thick metasequoia trees had become dry and naked in the late autumn wind, and the ground was covered with dense dead leaves. In fact, Lei Fuhu had already witnessed the ten years of decline and prosperity of the drainage fir tree from the same window. This window belonging to the office of the director of the County Health Bureau gave him a unique perspective. In the past, when he stood in front of the window, he didn't seem to care about the withered trees. The thought that arose spontaneously was that he would stand permanently in his own one-third of an acre of land like those tall and tall trees. But Lei Fuhu felt a little depressed today. He thought that when these trees turn green again, it might be another person standing in front of the window looking at the scenery.
