Rosa's short story "The Third Bank of the River" is widely read in China.

Almost all of Rosa's novels are set in the northeastern hinterland of Brazil, which is full of mountains, river valleys, deep ravines, swamps, and wastelands. The terrain is ever-changing and mysterious. The father who never goes ashore, the quixotic vengeful old man, the little girl with miraculous prophecy, the madman who climbs to the top of the palm tree to trigger a violent revolution, the bandit brothers, the bloodthirsty Indian who merges with the wild leopard... The characters have distinct hinterland characteristics, and their fates are full of magic and absurdity. Rosa not only pays attention to people's real situation and explores the mysteries of daily life, but also has profound insights into existentialism and the essence of human beings. Rosa was fluent in more than 20 languages, and was influenced by popular slang and dialects, and eruditely created a large number of new words and grammar. The translator selected 19 novels from four collections of novels published by Rosa at the peak of her writing, which comprehensively demonstrated the creative style of Rosa's short stories. This book is a version officially funded by the National Library of Brazil and Instituto Rosa.

"Winter Hunting Camp" focuses on the Shilu tribe in the Daxinganling Mountains in northern China.

A hundred people have a hundred different opinions about the same thing. Who should you believe? People are naturally self-interested and are used to saying things that are beneficial to themselves, which makes the truth often confusing and difficult to recognize. "Rashomon" contains nineteen stories by the "genius" novelist Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Each story is an ultimate description of a kind of human nature. Times are changing and people's hearts are unpredictable, but human nature remains unchanged. Understanding human nature is the only way to understand the world. Natsume Soseki commented on Akutagawa's works: "The brushwork is solemn, without gimmicks, simple and natural, humorous, and elegant. Moreover, the subject matter is novel, the concept is insightful, the structure is rigorous, and the writing is very essential, which is admirable."
