As Wilde's only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is his artistic autobiography and the prelude to his unfortunate fate. Crime, thriller, ambiguous feelings between the male protagonists... Behind this exquisitely conceived and richly imaginative story lies Wilde's insight into art, love and life. Most of Wilde's widely circulated classic quotations come from this book. After "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was published in 1891, it was criticized by the British press as "a poisonous book, full of the stench of moral and spiritual decay." Later, when a homosexual love affair caused Wilde to be involved in a lawsuit, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was one of the evidence, and he was eventually convicted of "gross indecency" and imprisoned for two years. Today, more than a hundred years later, we are surprised to find that a sentence written by Wilde in the book can be said to be the best annotation of the incident: "What the world calls immoral books actually shows the shame of the world itself." This version of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was translated by senior Wilde scholar Sun Yixue. The translation is faithful to the original text, beautiful and fluent.

Wang Yuejin, who came from a lower class, studied hard and was admitted to university. After graduation, he was assigned to the city. He has high aspirations, but lives a lonely and lonely life. He got married by accident, and his emotional life was certainly not of high quality. By chance, he embarked on the road of officialdom and was promoted to mayor. With the promotion of his position, Wang Yuejin felt a sense of separation and anxiety deep in his heart. The quality of emotions is also clouded. Shao Li focuses on the emotional life state of such a special group of people. It is cold and flirtatious, warm and cruel. It is a kind of torture and a kind of compassion. The writer takes the officials who have risen through the ranks and responded to every call down to the "human" level for observation, and calmly looks at those who have lost their aura of power. Behind her interesting line drawings are the contradictions and embarrassments of human nature.

Among Lao She's works, "Cat City" is second only to "Camel Xiangzi" in popularity overseas. It has been translated into Japanese, French, English, German, Russian and Hungarian. While it won Lao She prestige, it also hid hidden dangers: many of the author's experiences in his later years were foreshadowed in the second half of the novel. The year after the September 18th Incident, 33-year-old Lao She published a long satirical novel "Cat City", using an absurd cat city on Mars to tell the truth about China at that time with black humor.
