The Iron Rat, also known as the Raiha Rat, was one of the favorite themes of storytellers at the end of the Heian period. According to the Yankei version of "Heian Monogatari", Emperor Shirakawa made the daughter of Seki Shirofujiwara Shimi as his queen, and she was known as Nakamiya Kenko. , The two were extremely loving, so they hoped that Xianzi would give birth to a prince. The emperor heard that Mitsuiji Laihao Acharya's magic power was efficacious, so he ordered him to pray on his behalf, and he agreed (if everything goes well, all gifts will be easy). Later, Laihao Acharya prayed wholeheartedly and paid tribute to this wish. Prince Dunwen was born. The Emperor was overjoyed and asked Acharya what reward he wanted. Laihao Acharya replied: "I hope that the Emperor will order Mitsui Temple to build an ordination altar." 〕The emperor readily agreed, but he ignored that at that time Mitsui-ji Temple was located on the side of Mount Hiei, where Enryaku-ji Temple of the Tendai sect was located. Hearing that the emperor had authorized Mitsui-ji Temple to build an ordination altar to symbolize the status of the commanding Buddhist temple, he especially used his political connections to advise the emperor. In the end, the emperor felt that the Tendai sect could not be divided, so he withdrew the previous order. Laihao Acharya heard about this change and said angrily: "I worked hard and prayed hard to get the prince. Now that the emperor has betrayed me, I will take him to the devil's path." 〕After saying this, he would not eat a grain of rice, and would eventually go on a hunger strike and die. At that time, a white-haired monster monk appeared next to the emperor's pillow, standing in front of the bed holding a tin staff, which shocked the emperor. He asked the monks of Mount Hiei to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Unfortunately, Prince Atsubun died before he was four years old. According to folklore, Acharya Laihao locked himself in a secret room without trimming his beard, hair, or nails. He burned incense and cursed without sleep for a hundred days. After he died, he turned into 84,000 giant rats with iron-like teeth and stone-like bodies. They went all the way to Mount Hiei and chewed up all the Buddha statues and scriptures. Because of its iron-like teeth, Toriyama Shiyan called it "Iron Rat" in "Hakugui Night Walk".

"The Dream of Crazy Bones" tells the story of the mystery of bones that spans thousands of years and meanders along the winter seaside. A rhapsody of history and memories, dreaming with fashion. This is a showdown between dark destiny and human fireworks that will last until death. Solve many mysteries, but there is a clean and clear answer. Zhu Mei, a woman who killed her husband four times in a row, is a psychiatrist with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a godless pastor. Dreams and reality are entangled between the three people, and strange things happen again and again. A golden skull drifting in the sea, a mass suicide in the mountains. These seemingly unrelated people are each suffering from weird dreams... The weird events that happen one after another connect them one by one... What is a dream and what is reality? A complicated mystery, but with a clean and clear answer at the end of the book.

The protagonist is Kyogokudo, the owner of a used book store. He believes that "nothing is incredible in the world" and uses careful reasoning to solve various seemingly mysterious and strange events. The story combines folk customs, modern history and the subtleties of the human heart, creating a new pattern of "monster reasoning". The protagonist of "Wind" is the same as "A Hundred Utensils Bag of Use - Rain", the detective Enokizu Reijiro who never reasons or investigates. Because he can see other people's memories, any intricate crime cannot be hidden from him. "A Bag of Useless Weapons" is the last part of Toriyama Shiyan's collection of monster paintings. Various utensils turn into monsters. Toriyama himself said that it was "transformed by dreams." The painter's dream comes to life on the page, and people's memories burst into the detective's field of vision. It cannot but be said that there is some coincidence. Enokizu Reijiro has a bold and unrestrained personality and is good at making trouble. The first-person narrator of the story is "I" who was accidentally involved in various incidents. From "my" point of view, Enokizu is an extremely terrifying person and must be kept at a distance. The story is full of humor.

"Hundred Utensils of Vain Bag - Rain" is a three-part novella with one of the protagonists in the main story, Reijiro Enokizu, as the core character. In the main story, Enokizu relies on his special ability to see other people's memories, and works with Kyogokudo to break through obstacles and eliminate evil spirits. In this novella in which he is the protagonist, Kyogokudo takes a back seat and cooperates with Enokitsu's whimsical ideas for solving crimes to complete the three mystery stories of "Narukkama", "Bottle Chief" and "Shan Hao". Enokizu's performance in this work is more unrestrained and unrestrained, making people feel both happy and healed. The word "in vain" means "time passes slowly" in Japanese. Toriyama Shiyan named his monster atlas "Hundred Weapons in vain bag", which means both "stories of hundreds of utensils collected at different times" and "one hundred utensils that have become spirits through the passage of time". The "I" in the story was indignant because of the misfortune that befell my niece, but because of my own meager strength, I was unable to compete with the murderer and even the prejudice of the entire society. It was not until I got to know Enokizu that I relied on his "god"-like power of action to successfully resolve the incident. Running around that seemed futile before finally showed its meaning. "In vain" may not be in vain. The power accumulated over time can still give people something to look forward to. This is the heartwarming part of this work.

Teacher Tatara, a monster researcher, has a fat body and endless useless knowledge.

The journey to explore monsters that he embarks on is doomed to be full of disasters...

Miss Marple, who was living a peaceful old life, suddenly received a letter from an old friend who was willing to give her a huge inheritance if she did something for him.

She was convinced that the task was related to a crime, so she wanted to "discover the crime" first. She must suspect everyone and everything, and this unexpected crime-solving journey looks increasingly dangerous...

In the end, he found that all the answers had already appeared in front of him. As Bob Dylan once sang, Blowing in The Wind.

5 stories of reversing stereotypes × 5 children who grew up hard = 5 times the miracle of warmth. How do we overcome teacher stereotypes? Socrates said: "The only thing I know is that I know nothing." How do we get rid of our prejudices against our classmates? "The Godfather" said, "Don't hate your enemies, it will affect your judgment." How do we overcome our cowardice? Parents are humans, so they can be angry and depressed; teachers are also humans, so they can be depressed and cowardly; but Optimus Prime is not a human, but people can make a 180-degree change from depression to optimism just like him. How do we respond to life's challenges? The basketball coach told me: "If you believe in yourself, it is not a gamble, but a challenge. It is your own right to challenge your life." How can we achieve happiness? My mother said: "The ones who laugh last are always serious and honest people." Stereotypes are like a huge wall erected in everyone's life.

"Istanbul: Memory of a City" is not only a personal history, but also the sadness of the city. The unique "Hüzün" of this city has already penetrated into the young Pamuk's body and soul.

Following his memories of growing up, we can witness his personal lost good times, understand the history of the city where tradition and modernity coexist, and feel the sentimentality of Turkish civilization. "Istanbul: Memory of a City" contains a total of 450 black and white photos. Compared with the original version, there are 230 new pictures, all of which were personally selected by the author. Pamuk connected the pictures with his memories, the Turkish "Hüzün", the black and white urban architecture, the poor people in provincial towns, the post-imperial melancholy and the desolation of architectural ruins. Pamuk himself said: "The previous version of "Istanbul: Memories of a City" was a text-based book; while the new version of "Istanbul in Light and Shadow" is a visual-based book. In the previous book, the photos were attached to the text; but in this version, I can say that the words interpret the emotions carried by the photos. Reading this book from right to left will also be full of interest."

The girl Kawashima Minami's dream of Koshien seems a bit pale - not only does her baseball team have a poor foundation, but it can't even organize daily training, and the probability of entering Koshien is almost "zero". The miracle happened due to Xiaonan's encounter with a book. By chance, she read Peter Drucker's famous book "Management". It was this "encounter" that made everything incredible. "When a Baseball Girl Meets Drucker 1" is a best-selling work by Japanese writer Natsumi Iwasaki. It is not only a beautiful campus novel, but also an easy-to-understand entry-level management book. The author uses Japan's unique comic style and light novel writing techniques to transform the profound "Management" into an interesting story, which brings a lot of inspiration to readers in the contrast. When a baseball girl reads the works of management masters, what sparks will emerge from this cross-time, space, and cross-field ideological dialogue? Will this baseball team finally reach Koshien? On the way to the bottom team's counterattack, they have already achieved the most important thing.
