The collection of poems includes Rumi's poems that are widely circulated in China and new classics that have never been circulated or published in China.

I hope this book will become a place of love, meet you, and become an opportunity for us to get closer to Rumi and explore our inner self!

The way of love is a road to annihilation, a road to bliss "as if it had never existed." All of Rumi's poems can be seen as poems of love. They tend the blooming of the flower of the soul by sorrow, by every current of emotion that flows through the inn of consciousness.

Haiku is an extremely important literary genre with Japanese characteristics, and Matsuo Basho is known as the "Saint Haiku". He is the first master of classical haiku and the haiku artist who pushed the art of haiku to its highest peak. Basho is to haiku what Du Fu is to Tang poetry. Basho's haiku not only inherits the classical tradition of Chinese poetry and Japanese waka, but also does not shy away from mixing in daily colloquialisms. It captures the essence of comedy and is full of the spirit of free creation. Basho is good at capturing the absolute loneliness in daily life and the colors of sound and fragrance in quiet moments, such as the fragrance of leaves when they are heated by sunlight in the morning and dusk, or the faint sound of cold water when a frog leaps into an ancient pond. The poet uses this to show a passionate glimpse of nature in the eternal flow of time. The spirit of mourning for things in later Japanese literature and the spiritual sensitivity to all things in nature were mostly influenced by it. In his writing, the harmony of elegance and vulgarity in haiku has reached an unprecedented height. This book selects more than 300 haiku sentences that Basho wrote throughout his life, arranges them chronologically, and includes the original text, pronunciation and brief notes to aid appreciation.

"Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics (Symbols of the World)" is the first non-systematic poetry theory masterpiece written by the famous American sinologist Yuwen Suoan after ten years of research on the literary history of "Poetry of the Early Tang" and "Poetry of the Prosperous Tang". Although the original book was published earlier, many of the literary concepts he later developed can still be seen in it. In "Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics (Symbols of the World)", Yuwen Suo'an put forward the important proposition of China's "non-fiction" poetic tradition and made a comprehensive analysis and discussion. To paraphrase Feronosa's discovery that Chinese characters are the ideal language of poetry, it can be said that Yu Wensuo'an discovered that Chinese poetry in the tradition of non-fiction poetry is ideal poetry, which comes from the diversity of nature and is a subversion of poetry in the Western literary tradition as the second nature created by divine poets. To read Chinese poetry, one must give up the concept of analyzing poetry as a language structure, and instead dwell in the context of contemporary poetry and listen to the true voice.

For this seemingly local problem, we are willing to put it into a broad and in-depth academic perspective and look forward to getting a gratifying result.

"Dark Continent: Europe in the 20th Century" is a new masterpiece by Mark Mazoll, an expert on European issues, who deeply explores the issues of the European era and world development trends. In June 2016, the United Kingdom announced its departure from the European Union. This event set off a global upsurge of research and discussion on Europe. From World War I to the founding of the European Union, Mark Mazoll examines Europe in the 20th century from a new perspective and develops incisive analysis. "Dark Continent" delves into 100 of the continent's bloodiest and most violent years. Following in Mazoor's footsteps, we will discover a real Europe that has always been trapped between two evenly matched forces: acceptance of aliens on one side and racial discrimination on the other; imperialist ambitions on the other and calls for national self-determination on the other. At the same time, Europe has always been caught between left and right, freedom and tyranny. The "Western values" such as democracy, freedom, and civil rights that Western societies have long pursued originated in Europe. "Dark Continent" leads us to search for the source of this value, and at the same time we are constantly thinking and asking: How is this value reflected today after several generations of battles? What's left? In Mazower's writing, Europe is not the home of democracy and freedom, but a laboratory of social and political engineering. Europe was constantly reborn and reshaped through wars, revolutions, and ideological battles, and the process was often shocking. "Dark Continent" has vivid writing and bold arguments. It not only details the historical changes in Europe over the past century, but also provides reference and inspiration for China in the current transition period. It is known as "a beautiful European history book".

After my name, for the first time in my life, I had the title of "locksmith". The biggest similarity between this job and my previous job is that both require opening strangers' door locks. Almost everyone thinks that a few more locks will make it safer. In fact, they don't understand at all. Even if there are a thousand lock points, there is only one lock core. If one breakthrough is made, all the lock points will pop open in unison, like a group gymnast performer. My former partners have built countless psychological defense lines for themselves, but in the eyes of the old police, they are completely useless. They will find your "lock cylinder" quickly and accurately. The feeling at that moment was like a needle stabbing into the heart, every rib was useless.
