On the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, I made a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes and went to my boyfriend's house to celebrate the festival. On the high-speed train, a child pointed at my plate of mooncakes and cried loudly, insisting on eating it. The child's mother looked matter-of-fact: "The child is young and immature, just give it to him, isn't it just a few mooncakes?" The aunt on the side also said, "It's a holiday, don't worry about the child." Her boyfriend, who has always been a good man, handed over the bag when he picked it up. I held his hand and my voice was as cold as ice. "If you dare to give him this mooncake, we will break up immediately." The boyfriend was confused. "Are you crazy? It's a big holiday, what's the big deal for a few mooncakes?" I looked at the child who was still acting and rolling around with a determined look in my eyes. "I don't care, just give it to him and break up!"

In the delivery room of the hospital, my mother-in-law, who had just given birth to my brother-in-law, threw three gold-gilt receipts in my face. "Shen Yu, this is my prenatal check-up fee, top-notch confinement nanny's nutrition fee and the horoscope fee calculated by a master. It's a total of 1.08 Million. Just give me one million." Before I had time to react, my husband next to me pushed a cup of bird's nest in front of my mother-in-law. "Mom, you have worked hard. Shen Yu deserves to pay this money." I looked at the mother and son in amazement. As they sang and harmonized, the mother-in-law got even more addicted to drama, and her eyes turned red on the spot: "Xiaoyu, you can't be heartless! If you hadn't refused to give me a big fat grandson, would I still be alive at this age?" "It's fine now, you don't need to have the child anymore, you and Ayi can just raise him as your own!" I looked at the mother and son singing the double act, and suddenly smiled. I slowly took out another document from the Hermès bag, gently placed it on the table and pushed it over. "Mom, what a coincidence, I just came back from the hospital." I held my chin, admiring the sudden change in their expressions, and added word by word: "The B-ultrasound showed that the twins are both daughters."

It's not that you "can't" have children, it's that society "doesn't allow" you to have children. The entire social environment is telling women: "If you are so worried about your children, let the mother stay at home." What is the fundamental reason why young people are unwilling to have children? How to change the social status quo of low desire for childcare? From the perspective of women such as the unfair treatment of pregnant women in the workplace, the shortcomings of obstetrics and gynecology in hospitals, and the problems in child care institutions, the author provides an in-depth analysis of the social factors of low fertility. The author Miki Kobayashi won the Poverty News Reporting Award in 2013 for her "report on the structure of a 'society that does not allow childbearing' and a series of discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace." In the last chapter, the author describes the ideal form of a "society capable of giving birth," but changing the status quo still requires the joint efforts of all levels of society.

"The Scholars" is a novel with intellectuals as the main description object, and it is also a typical satirical novel. It describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the eight-part imperial examination system. For example, it is written that Zhou Jin and Fan Jin spent their entire lives trying to pass the examination, and even when their beards turned gray, they still failed to pass the examination. Although life was extremely difficult, he still couldn't forget the imperial examination. Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He was touched by a lifetime of bitterness and pain. He burst into tears and was so sad that he could not help but feel miserable. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, he took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, and things turned around. When he passed the exam, those who had ridiculed him in the past came to flatter him and praised him as the most knowledgeable person. Another example is Fan Jin. Before he passed the imperial examination, his family was so poor that he had no rice to cook with, so he went to the market to sell an old hen. When he learned that he had won the election, he was so happy that he became a madman. Fortunately, his father-in-law Hu Tuhu slapped him and he regained consciousness. At this time, the local squires and other prominent people all looked at him with admiration. Some gave him houses and some gave him property. Fan Jin's life immediately changed... And so on, which reflected the corruption of the secular customs at that time. On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officialdom at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals.

Temptation of Saint Anton

H

"The Temptation of Saint-Antoine" is the masterpiece of the great French writer Flaubert (1821-1880). The first draft was in 1849, the second draft in 1856, the third draft in 1872, and the full text was officially published in 1874. It spanned 25 years, during which Flaubert completed three novels, "Madame Bovary", "Salangbao" and "Emotional Education". The writing of this book almost ran through the writer's entire creative career. The novel is based on the legend of the saint, that is, the story of the Egyptian monk Anton (about 251–356) who resisted various temptations in the desert. There are many works based on this in Western art. In 1845, Flaubert's sister Caroline traveled to Italy as a newlywed, and Flaubert accompanied him. At the Balbi Palace in Genoa, he saw the oil painting "The Temptation of Saint Anton" said to be by the Dutch painter Bruegel the Elder, and gained inspiration for writing. Byron's poetic drama "Cain" and Goethe's poetic drama "Faust" he had read when he was young also gave him a lot of inspiration. The novel is divided into seven chapters and describes in detail Anton's spiritual vision one night. The devil, the Queen of Sheba, and Anton's own disciples placed countless huge temptations in front of him: wealth, power, pleasure, and even more tempting ones: gods, rituals, scriptures, oracles... In the name of science, the devil created obstacles and hid the secrets of the universe. From sunset to dawn, dreams continue. In the end, Anton emerges from the confusion and moves towards new life. The novel is written in the form of prose poetry (or poetic drama), reflecting the rebellion against religious delusions and the rejection of the materialistic society. It is a work in which the writer devoted himself to "mania".
