"The God of Murder" is the representative play of French playwright Yasmina Reza. On an ordinary day, two 11-year-old boys had an argument in the park. The former broke the latter's mouth with a stick. This minor dispute over children brought together two couples who had never had any contact with each other. Starting from the negotiation of the child's injury, they uncovered the undercurrents surging under the surface of peaceful life one by one. The laughter, anger, and cynicism between families, between husbands and wives, and between men and women are not only doubts and refutations about the two cognitive concepts of civilization and roughness, but also the collision of Western values ​​​​: killing or peace, heroism or silence. After the release of "God of Killing", it has been performed in many countries around the world. The film of the same name adapted by Polanski won the 2011 Boston Film Critics Award for Best Ensemble, the 2011 Venice Film Festival Little Golden Lion Award, and the Caesar Film Festival Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

General Macbeth, cousin of King Duncan of Scotland, returned from serving the king in countering rebellion and resisting invasion. He met three witches on the way. The witch told him some prophecies and cryptic words, saying that he would be crowned king, but he had no heirs to inherit the throne. Instead, the descendants of his colleague General Banquo would be the king. Macbeth is an ambitious hero who murders Duncan at the instigation of his lady and becomes king. In order to cover up others' eyes and prevent others from seizing the throne, he gradually killed Duncan's guards, Banquo, and the wife and children of the noble Macduff. Fear and suspicion make Macbeth more and more evil and cruel. Lady Macbeth went insane and committed suicide, which was also a great stimulus to him.

It can be said that he is the same tyrant as Richard III. Such a tyrant deserves his suffering and death.

This set of books is the first complete work of Shakespeare in verse in the Chinese-speaking world. The original form of Shakespeare's drama is a verse drama, which is a verse drama with blank verse as its basic form. Translating poetry into verse, trying to make the translation closer to the original appearance of Shakespeare's drama in terms of tone and language rhythm, is the ultimate appeal of this version. "Tragedies Volume One" contains three of Shakespeare's tragedies. "Romeo and Juliet" is one of Shakespeare's famous dramas. The story tells the story of two people who fell in love at first sight at a dance and then learned each other's identity. In order to be together, Juliet first took fake poison and woke up to find Romeo committing suicide, and he also committed suicide one after another.

This set of books is the first complete work of Shakespeare in verse in the Chinese-speaking world.

Translating poetry into verse, trying to make the translation closer to the original appearance of Shakespeare's drama in terms of tone and language rhythm, is the ultimate appeal of this version. "Historical Drama Volume 2" contains three English historical plays written by Shakespeare. "Henry VI" is Shakespeare's first work, written around 1590-1592. Henry VI had a 14-year history in which the British feudal rule suffered a series of major blows. In France, the Anglo-French war was still going on; in England, the Royal House of Lancaster and the Royal House of York launched the protracted "War of the Roses." "Richard III" is a work by the British playwright William Shakespeare. It realistically describes the short reign of Richard III. The play is believed to have been written around 1591. After Shakespeare completed "Henry VI", he understood that the audience expected a beginning and end of the War of the Roses on the stage, so he wrote "Richard III" following the historical trajectory of "Henry VI". "Henry VIII" is a historical drama created by Shakespeare in his later years after the legendary plays. It is different from his early historical dramas. It has no bloodshed of revenge, no conspiracy to riot, no coup, no war. Some Shakespeare scholars call it "a historical drama without corpses."

With the establishment and development of the liberated areas, the literary and artistic movement in the liberated areas also flourished. Comrade Mao Zedong's speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art formulated the line and policies of the revolutionary literature and art movement, and profoundly answered a series of long-standing questions in the development of revolutionary literature since the "May Fourth Movement". As a result of implementing Mao Zedong's literary and artistic line, all aspects of literature and art in the liberated areas have taken on a new look. At the same time, although the environment and conditions of literature in the "Kuomintang-controlled areas" are different from those in the liberated areas, the progressive literary and art circles also have climaxes in lashing out darkness and calling for light, rushing towards New China and towards the great meeting of people's literature and art. Every scholar has his own "history of modern Chinese literature" in his heart. Different people have different opinions and can interpret, discuss, argue, and even be incompatible with each other. In fact, perhaps it is precisely because of the numerous authors and diverse opinions that readers are given the opportunity to judge, choose, and ultimately form their own independent opinions. Therefore, I believe that one should never boast that this series of books is superior to others.
