In the late 1970s and early 1980s, in order to study Germany under Hitler's rule, young Timothy Garden Ash stayed in East and West Berlin for several years to collect information. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts in East Germany were considered espionage activities, and he was tracked by the secret police and informants, leaving behind a 325-page secret file. After the reunification of the two Germanys, East Germany's secret police files were opened. The author revisited East Germany. Based on the files established for him by the East German Ministry of Security and his own diary, he searched for those who monitored him one by one and reconstructed a memory of his youth. He was surprised to find that people with different standpoints often have completely different or even contradictory memories of the same experience. Therefore, going through the fog of various memories and exploring the truth of the history of which he is a part became the driving force for writing this book, which ultimately led to such a touching book.

Let's go back to three years ago, which was also autumn. I came to Luohu, Shenzhen from Dongguan. Don't wait for the car to stop. The car door opened with a crash. The tailpipe of the car that was not turned off was still spewing hot steam, and the chaotic flow of people and vehicles was passing back and forth. No one would give in. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, making it dazzling wherever you looked. The most chaotic places in the city are train stations, especially Luohu in Shenzhen. The bus station, train station and Luohu Port are all in one, criss-crossing each other like a maze. People were pouring out from nowhere. The long-distance passenger terminal is located on the lowest floor. The shabby, rough, noisy and disorderly atmosphere at the bottom exposes the city's weaknesses. Only by stepping onto the escalator can you be free. The marble floor has a nice luster. Having the illusion of floating.

"Underground 2" is Haruki Murakami's second documentary work after "Underground". Most of the space is the shady story of the cult dictated by former cult members. It is as detailed, realistic and shocking as "Underground". In search of healing, why did they create "Subway Sarin", an indiscriminate killing without redemption? Why do they find it difficult to live a normal life in this world? Where is the dream country they pursue? Thorough interviews with Aum believers and unguarded conversations with Mr. Hayao Kawai reveal the dark side of the heart enveloped by modern society. This book is the sequel to "Underground", also based on interviews compiled from audio recordings. After interviewing the victims of the Tokyo Sarin gas incident, the author conducted interviews with many former Aum Shinrikyo believers in 1997 to understand the internal situation of the cult organization and the spiritual world of the believers, and put forward suggestions for healing.

If there are five bullies, they all believe that they only bear one-fifth of the responsibility, while the bullied person has to bear five times the pain. I visited parents of children who committed suicide to understand what it was like for children who were bullied. Because the victims are no longer alive, we cannot directly listen to their voices. However, through repeated visits to the parents of the victims and listening to their laments, the world of contemporary schools that pushed their children to suicide, or failed to fulfill their responsibility to save their lives, and the cruel and indifferent children gradually emerged. Even the cruelty of bullying people to death spread to the victim's parents after the incident, turning into a problem of isolation of the victim's family in the region. This is simply beyond our imagination.

This book is a four-act tragedy created by Albert Camus. It is based on the life of the ancient Roman tyrant Caligula and profoundly reflects Camus' existentialism and absurd philosophy. In the play, Caligula begins to question the meaning and value of life after experiencing the shock of the death of his beloved lover. He found that personality, dignity, and even pain were meaningless in the face of death, which triggered his extreme use of power and destruction of the existing order. He became a tyrant who wantonly trampled on the original human system, good and evil, and emotions, trying to find truth and eternity through power and expose the hypocrisy of the world. Through the image of Caligula, Camus explores the way humans deal with themselves in the face of an absurd world, showing the destructive consequences of abuse of power and personal madness. At the same time, he also put forward profound thoughts about human existence and freedom, and explored how to find personal meaning and value in an absurd world.

The Outsider (chinese Translation of World Literature Masterpieces Series)

H

"The Outsider" uses an objective record-type "zero style" to describe the protagonist Meursault's various absurd plots and experiences from attending his mother's funeral to accidentally becoming a murderer, and then to being sentenced to death. Meursault seems to be indifferent to everything, existing rationally and irrationally indifferently, maintaining an excessive honesty and unvarnished and flattering frankness. Even if this kind of catering is to avoid unnecessary trouble, or even to obtain favorable conditions related to life and death, he categorically refuses to regard false scams as the eternal hope. He fully acknowledges the limitations of life and lives a sober, unflinching life based only on honesty and courage. Living in truth to preserve the dignity of life, this "outsider" style that is incompatible with society eventually led to his death, or in other words, made him freely move towards his own destiny. Meursault's experience promotes the absurdity and meaninglessness of life, and also shows the free and passionate spirit of resistance. "The Outsider" is one of Camus' famous and representative novels. It can be called one of the famous novels with epoch-making significance in the entire Western literary world in the 20th century. "The Outsider" has thus become the most classic character image and keyword in Western literature and philosophy.

During my eighteen-year playing career, I have developed a mixed feeling of love and hate towards the double bass that I have been with day and night.
