This book takes the development history of American urban novels as a vertical line and the three metropolises of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles as a horizontal line, and makes a detailed review of the development history of American urban novels from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The book is divided into three chapters: New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. New York in literature presents various forms: old New York, lower-class New York, modern New York and multi-ethnic New York. Chicago literature has experienced three literary waves, from Henry Fuller to Nelson Algren. Chicago literature has gone from prosperity to decline, from the center to the periphery. It wasn't until the 1920s that Los Angeles literature really began. In two of the most important genres, the Hollywood novel and the hard-boiled detective novel, Los Angeles appears as "the city of fantasy and violence." By combing through the cities in American literature, we found that no matter which urban model, ultimately did not bring a true sense of paradise city to mankind. Where is the future of human cities? We are always looking.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the writing of Zishu showed another extremely active situation since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States. Only from the relevant records in the Zishu of Sui Shu·Jingji Zhi, we can get a glimpse of the variety of works by its writers. Due to the long history and the frequent occurrence of various natural and man-made disasters, the writings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties have been seriously lost, which has caused great difficulties for future generations to explore. Therefore, for a long time, few people have been involved in this research field as a whole. This book is an overall review of the books of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. The study of this book believes that the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties generally belonged to the prosperous period. Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, Zishu in the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the rise. Regarding the classification and summary of the writings of various schools of thought in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the author reveals the active trend of Wei and Jin thought from different aspects. The book's discussion section discusses the school affiliation, ideological connotation and literary factors of the extant Wei and Jin zishu works, covering a total of more than 50 relatively complete or only a small amount of lost works by the 46 zishu writers of the Wei and Jin dynasties. This paper analyzes the differences in the writings of Zishu in various specific periods of this period, and reveals that the authors of the more important Zishu of the Three Kingdoms were mostly military and political ministers. Their works mostly dealt with political strategies and governance, or criticism and reconstruction of social atmosphere, as well as character appreciation. In analyzing the school positioning of Wei and Jin Zishu and its similarities and differences, this book focuses on exploring its literary value.

One night in the late 1920s, before dawn, two young men, one tall and one short, walked out of Aozhong Village in Dongxi in the dark. They were carrying umbrellas on their backs as if they were going on a long journey, but instead of taking the official road out of Aokou to the county town, they turned around and climbed up the Fairy Pit in the mountain behind the village. "It's still dark... It's still dark!" The short and fat one was called Fang Chong, and he stuttered a little, "Wait a while... Before we go..." "No matter how dark the sky is, it will still be dark. When you step out of this land, there will be bright sky in front of you! Today must be a clear and bright day." The tall and thin one is named Shi Liang, but he is eloquent and full of passion. Recently, the principal of the county middle school said that he had radical thoughts and organized a doujin club where "you and I are of the same mind and are comrades with each other" and was suspected of being a communist, so he was expelled from school. Shi Liang was so angry that he simply went to Shanghai to find the Communist Party.
