It turns out that the downfall and mid-term in life are just to see the scenery and oneself better.

Evie, a girl who grew up in a single-parent family, grew up under the care of her father. She is cunning, smart, and rebellious. After graduating from high school, she suddenly realized: a whole world was open to her, with endless possibilities for her to embrace, but no one told her what to do with the rest of her life. The stoic and fantasy-loving Evie began her own exploration and experiment. But the cramped field life has not changed at all, and the people around her (and her father) are not very cooperative. Even the flamboyant and noisy Christine continues to cause her all kinds of troubles. By chance, Evie found a photo in which the woman laughing at the camera was called Caroline, who had been away from home for many years. Evie began to eagerly inquire about all kinds of information about Caroline. She decided that this (mature) woman who moved from a small town to a metropolis could show her a new life. Not long after, Evie actually met Caroline. Her life has also undergone a completely new change, and a new life is blowing to her with the summer wind.

The street where I live is noisy at night, but during the day I can barely hear anyone's voice. This is the entertainment street, this is the world of night. In the entertainment district, many people do not have what they should have - teeth, sleep or dreams. In the entertainment district, there are countless women carrying envelopes with two million yen in them, which is roughly the same as the number of women who say they want to die. I left home at the age of seventeen and worked in a bar as a virgin. From then on, drinking became my job. I spent half of every day in vague memories, and the other half in almost disappeared memories. Over the years, I've always had friends who wanted to prove that they weren't on the same page as everyone else. As for who they want to prove to, it's a mystery, maybe they want to prove it to themselves. However, unfortunately we are all on the same page, not a millimeter apart. There are people in the world who have high values, and there are people who have low values, and those of us gathered here are exactly the same, perhaps lower than the rest of the world. I lost two friends this summer. One of them had gotten married and had a child five years ago, but she ran away with a man and lost contact. She was my classmate in middle school, and she persisted in keeping in touch with me when I was only interested in hanging out with people on the entertainment street. We were in contact intermittently. However, when one day she stopped replying to messages, and after a while I couldn't even send her messages, I received a call from her husband, and then I learned that she, who often came home late for no reason, finally didn't come home one day. He asked me where she went, but I didn't know either. Another man jumped from his rental apartment in Osaka and left this world. I identified her body at the funeral, so at least I know where she went. Perhaps because I had lost so much during the summer, I readily accepted the request of my mother, whom I had not contacted for many years, to move into my house before late autumn. The lesions in the mother's stomach finally reached the point where it was difficult to sustain life, and she seemed to be looking for a place to die. At this moment, as I waited for death with my mother, I, who had always been silent, suddenly wanted to ask her: "Why do I have no father?" "Why don't you get angry no matter if I smoke or drink?" "Do you know what I do for a living on this street?" "Do you know the lies I told?" "Why did you burn my skin when you didn't beat me or abandon me?" And "Are you lucky to have given birth to me?"

In the context of deepening the reform of the police mechanism, in order to strengthen the grassroots strength, former auxiliary police officer Tai Xiaoyang, who was specially recruited into the police for accidentally solving a major case, was assigned to work in the strike team of Xiaoman Police Station. Tai Xiaoyang's nickname is "Taiyang". As his name suggests, he has a warm and sunny personality. He firmly believes in justice and wants to do everything right. This stubbornness makes him seem a bit different in the eyes of ordinary people. He originally thought that when he joined the strike team, he could punish criminals and eliminate evil and show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he encountered many setbacks. He found that other members of the team had diluted their ideals and beliefs due to various reasons, so the "Sun" worked harder to shine and help his teammates. At the same time, a series of cases occurred one after another, and they repeatedly solved the backlog and brought invisible criminal gangs to the surface. In the end, the strike team shared the same hatred and used their combined efforts to strike hard at crime. The novel uses the perspective of the "sun" to show the perseverance, responsibility, responsibility and belief of the people's police in the great era.

"The Boy" is one of Coetzee's trilogy of autobiographical novels. It describes the protagonist's childhood life in South Africa when he was ten to thirteen years old. All the plots are innocent and gloomy, and full of strange fantasies unique to teenage boys. However, behind all these detailed narratives, a more grand narrative intention can be seen. Through a little boy and an ordinary middle-class family, readers can witness the cultural imperialism of the colonizers that sowed the seeds of conflict between different ethnic groups and races in South African society. Coetzee uses this to lay out the tragic context of the book. Through the inner confusion of the protagonist, the cliché of difficult times unexpectedly interprets a new set of discourse.

"The Master of Petersburg" is a novel by the South African novelist and Nobel Prize winner J. M. Coetzee, with the great Russian writer Dostoyevsky as the protagonist. In the novel, in October 1869, due to the death of his stepson Pavel, Dostoevsky came to the city of Petersburg, where he met a series of characters and intertwined with their fates. All these experiences were transformed into elements in his writing through suffering and suffering, becoming the opportunity and nourishment for him to write "The Demons". By reshaping Dostoevsky's life story and interpreting it in an indistinguishable way, Coetzee shows readers the unfathomable imaginary world in his study.
