In the late period of his life and creation, he deliberately calmed down and recounted his life and ideological experiences from the beginning, thus creating two masterpieces in the field of autobiography: "Life Was Like This" (1971) and "The Road to Escape" (1980). "The Guardian" and "The Times Literary Supplement" honestly praised it as "one of the most outstanding achievements in autobiographical writing".

"The Cat, Shozo and Two Women" is a classic collection of novels by Junichiro Tanizaki, a representative writer of Japanese aestheticism, and includes representative short and medium-length novels such as "The Cat, Shozo and Two Women", "Boy", "Horror", "Ex-Con" and "Yanagi Bathhouse Incident". The novella "The Cat, Shozo and Two Women" was written during the period when Tanizaki was translating "The Tale of Genji" (1935-1938). It uses the similarity between women and cats as a metaphor to tell the subtle, complex and interesting relationship between men and women through a cat, allowing men who are overwhelmed by the situation to perform a family comedy with them that makes people laugh. The world of Tanizaki's novels is full of absurdity and weirdness, seeking beauty in ugliness, affirming goodness in praise, and thinking about the meaning of survival in death. Whether it is the world of beautiful snow that expresses his demonic "ugliness as beauty" or the oriental culture that pursues Japanese classical traditional beauty, Junichiro Tanizaki's works are permeated with a strong sense of human emotions and psychology. Yukio Mishima once evaluated Tanizaki Junichiro's works as "the peonies blooming brilliantly against the gloomy background of naturalistic literature".

One day, "my" domestic kitten suddenly spoke and directed "me" to an actress named "Mariko". The actress and "I" seemed to be old friends, but we both had completely different memories of the past. The actress took "me" to a restaurant "Cherbourg" that was clearly closed in my memory, and then her mother suddenly appeared in front of her. Mixed with various voices, a large number of memory fragments began to intertwine and emerge: my mother's experience in North Korea, the alienation of the painter's father from the family, "I" and the actress's travels in Rome, as well as German shepherd dogs, azaleas... "My" consciousness fell into a maze, wandering in the ruins of memory, unable to distinguish between past and present, reality and imagination, and the boundaries between advancement and retreat. Finally, guided by my mother's voice, "I" finally remembered the reason why I became a novelist: "Depression is like a twilight that never ends. I can only rely on fiction to continue to survive."

This is a true story in human history, a story about how plague shaped our cities and even the world today. In the 19th century, during the era of Queen Victoria in England, London, as a modern metropolis, suffered from disease pandemics every few years, with each outbreak claiming thousands of lives. Doctor John Snow conducted a series of studies and discovered and proved that cholera exists in water. When no one believed it, the Reverend Henry Whitehead helped Snow plot the number of people who drew water to drink versus the number of people who did not draw water to drink on the same graph and label the number of deaths in each neighborhood. It was found that the further away from the water pump, the fewer deaths occurred. It turned out that the water pump was the source of pollution. This great discovery saved the city of London from the last cholera outbreak in Britain. This neighborhood map has deservedly become one of the most influential maps in history, as important as Columbus's early maps that led navigators around the world. It created a new way of life, and people began to build sewer systems, create urban public facilities, and ensure clean water for the benefit of everyone. And this period of history that ushered in a new era of medicine is also deeply recorded in the immortal monument of the progress of human civilization.
