Loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. In 1895, Wilde was taken to court by the father of his homosexual lover Percy, and was sentenced to prison and ruined. Distraught, he wrote a long letter in prison and entrusted his former lover Rose to deliver it to Percy. This letter is the secret emotion and deep reflection deep in his heart when his destiny was at a low point. In 1905, five years after Wilde's death, Ross published this letter with the title "De Profundis", taken from Psalm 130: "O Lord, from the depths of my heart I pray to you! Lord, please hear my voice!"

In the first article, he defends the Marquis de Sade. Beauvoir starts from the privileged class's understanding of their situation, taking the old aristocracy as an example: the aristocrats defend their rights without considering the rationality of this right. Sade was born into a noble family, but he had the courage to take on his own uniqueness, violated the moral standards followed by the nobles, and used the most extreme method to demand his own pleasure as an absolute law. Although he failed in the end, his flamboyant behavior revealed that the egoism of the privileged class could only be wishful thinking and could not give itself legitimacy in the eyes of everyone. The second article "Merleau-Ponty and the Pseudo-Sartre Doctrine" is also written from the perspective of the privileged class. In the French environment of the 1950s and 1960s, some intellectuals stood on the side of the greatest interests, tried to confuse the general interests and the interests of the bourgeoisie, and had a debate with Sartre. Beauvoir defended Sartre and wrote this article.

Santiago de Compostela (Santiago de Compostela, meaning "Santiago of the Starry Fields") is the capital of the autonomous region of Galicia in Spain, with a population of less than 100,000. According to legend, James, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, is buried here and is one of the Catholic pilgrimage destinations. Since the Middle Ages, pilgrims have come here in an endless stream, and even formed a famous pilgrimage road, the Way of St. James. In 2011, after retiring from his position as ambassador, Lufen decided to embark on a journey to Santiago. "Immortal Journey" is a true record of Lu Fen's pilgrimage. The humorous, self-deprecating and emotional writing style shows not only the basic common sense of pilgrimage, but also the magnificent scenery, interesting things along the way, portraits of unexpected characters, and even the boundless thoughts of a lonely walker between heaven and earth. From the joy of freedom on the Basque coastline to the loneliness, exhaustion and self-doubt bred in the monotonous industrial landscape of Cantabria to Oviedo, where religious inspiration flashes near the end, Luffen finally achieves physical and spiritual transformation. This transformation, as he said, is not about religious piety, but about forgetting, forgetting the constraints of daily life, forgetting the fatigue and bad weather of long distances, forgetting industrialization and material scarcity, and then being spiritually sublimated. This applies to all people with different purposes but walking on their own "pilgrimage paths."
