This not only helps us understand the multifaceted nature and complexity of history itself, but also shows a path to deconstruct history.

The turning point of my unfortunate life happened on the day I stepped into my aunt's yard alone. After my mother passed away, I completely lost the protection of my family. I was forced to make a living independently and felt deeply humiliated by my situation. I spent the night in a desolate place under the night, thinking that the dark warehouse was my destination. I had nothing on my body, almost as when I came into this world naked... I decided to seek refuge with my aunt I had never met. Unexpectedly, I would have a code worth following for my whole life: never be humble, never be numb, never be hypocritical, and always be honest!

There was a squire in La Mancha, Spain, who loved chivalric novels and read them all day long without any poems in his hands. Finally, he lost his mind after reading. He actually wanted to be a knight errant, hoe the strong and help the weak, act chivalrously, and conquer the world. He called himself Don Quixote, and persuaded a farmer in the village to be his attendant. He rode a horse and held a spear, and embarked on an adventure. Don Quixote's mind was filled with the people and things in the book of chivalry, so in his eyes, prostitutes were ladies and inns were castles. He fought with windmills, regarded sheep as an army, and made many jokes and made a fool of himself. He fought and lost again and again, and persisted in his ideals until he died. Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza are two masters and servants. One is tall and the other is short, one is thin and the other is fat. One pursues ideals and the other is very realistic. The two form a strong contrast, producing a strong comic effect and symbolizing the duality of human beings: idealism and realism. Therefore, the work has universal and eternal significance.

"The Waves" is Woolf's work at the peak of her creative power and was published in 1931. This highly poetic, abstract, and stylized experimental work does not have a story in the strict sense, but is more like a musical work composed of nine movements: each introduction is an exquisite prose poem, using the ebb and flow of the sun and waves to correspond to the ups and downs of life; following each introduction are the momentary inner monologues of six highly formalized characters without surnames in their respective life stages-from childhood, studenthood, youth, middle age, to old age. The introduction and the main text map each other, opening up unprecedented and nuanced channels for the readers' senses, and getting closer to the essence of life, time, consciousness and feeling to the maximum extent. This is a work that occupies an important position in modern literature and palaces. To this day, it still stirs our souls with its exquisite text structure and poetic style.
