Kafka is known as "the magician of modern literature" and "one of the best writers of the 20th century."

The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, flowers bloom and fall, and poems have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Love and hate are always similar through the ages, the only difference is the changing "protagonist" in the story. Probably everyone has had a love flower blooming in their heart, for a person or a love. Every little thought, every trace of tenderness is engraved on the fluttering love flower in the world. The hollow ones are petals, and the full ones are deep feelings. Life is full of love and obsession, and lingering is bound to be a passionate place. People today love Song poetry and love flowers, probably because they cannot escape the word "love". She encompasses all things, and produces all kinds of impermanence in all things. Song Ci is the gorgeous flower of love that blooms in the valley of despair, and we have all been poisoned by it.

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.

At the same time, by analyzing the causes, methods and means of war, the author examines how war has affected human society, and how changes in our political structure, technology and ideology have affected the conduct of war. This book focuses on a number of controversial topics: When did the war begin? Why is war an organized part of human activity? Why are warriors almost always men? Was war ever under our control? The author also shows us the many aspects of war in the book - the languages ​​we speak, the individual memories we have, and the great cultural treasures all reflect the glory and pain that war brings to human society. As a disturbing and challenging topic, Macmillan also reveals through fascinating observations and examples how war vividly embodies the evil and noble sides of human nature.

This is a groundbreaking work that examines the history of British expansion and colonization from a new perspective. At a time when Britain was emerging as a globally influential empire, large numbers of Britons were still being held captive outside Europe. The author makes these captives the subject of a historical narrative that re-evaluates the rise of the greatest empire in global history.

He also quotes the captives' personal works, allowing readers to truly understand their mood at that time. At the same time, this book also has a macro aspect. Exploring these forgotten extraterritorial British captives elicits a history of the frustrations of the early British Empire, inviting people to rethink an old story that is often told in the same way.

From the "September 18th Incident" in 1931 to the end of World War II in 1945, Japan used the name of "national system" to shroud the entire Japanese empire, including its colonies, under the control of a strong national ideology. It was extremely fanatical about war, the emperor, and the country, and further deepened its Greater Asiaticism and jade-breaking ideas. By examining the seclusion and inferiority complex of the Japanese, the ideological process of intellectuals, the coercive power of the state, and the relationship between the state and the people, Shunsuke Tsurumi incisively analyzes how Japan transformed from a country that became prosperous, strong, free and open in spirit during the Meiji period to a conservative, narrow-minded and aggressive country with rampant fascism. He went on to explain why Japanese intellectuals failed in their struggle, introspection, and resistance to nationalism, and how they succumbed and "turned" after being oppressed and became "accomplices" of militarism. Finally, when the country launched a war, they propagandized and justified militarism and supranationalism, leading Japan to a path of destruction.

This play was created in 1900. It uses 10 dialogues between men and women to convey the moral decadence of Austria at that time, and reveals the fundamental human nature of pursuing desires that are immediately satisfied. Ten characters from the upper, middle and lower classes of society, including prostitutes, soldiers, civilians, artists and nobles, appear in turn in the form of AB-BC-CD-DE-EF-FG-GH-HI-IJ-JA. Different people are connected together through the theme of "sex", presenting a recurring, end-to-end structure, which also implies the interlocking relationship between different social classes. Schnitzler deliberately introduces characters only by stating their identities and status. It was 20 years after the script was published that it was all put on the stage. It caused an uproar during the performance and was later banned from being performed as a pornographic play.

Become a place of love, meet you, and become an opportunity for us to get closer to Rumi and explore our inner self! "There is a place beyond the concepts of right and wrong. I will meet you there. When the soul lies down on the grass there, the world is too full to talk about. Concepts, language, and even the word each other have no meaning." I think the place Rumi is talking about is a non-dual world, transcending all good and bad, right and wrong, right and wrong. In the end, each of us can return there. If you can reach that grassland while alive, it means you are enlightened. There is no need for language because all thoughts, words, each other, etc., Belong to the world of duality. Likewise, joy, sadness, happiness, and sorrow cannot be found there. One day we will all meet there. Before that day comes, let us enjoy the beauty and ugliness, good and evil, right and wrong, good and bad of the dualistic world. Who knows whether impermanence or tomorrow will come earlier.
