It's hard to feel happy, but luckily there's Woody Allen. Here are eighteen humorous and rhapsodic "literary talk shows" that poke fun at marriage, middle class, anxiety, Hollywood, beauty standards, death and other topics. These anhedonic Allen-esque protagonists show you what they see as a ridiculous and pathetic world, and although they understand Dostoevsky, they cannot handle the absurdity of everyday life. The last sixty-page autobiographical novel, "Growing Up in Manhattan," is a mixture of romance, sentimentality, and confusion. It is another paradoxical mystery in a world "specifically designed to keep him confused for the rest of his life." Now more than ever, we need clowns who can make people laugh, and here comes Woody Allen. "If you want to read casually and be amused, and take a brief break from the bad reality, then this book is a dessert, like my previous works." - Woody Allen

He fought for the anxiety and desire of patients and their families. To fight against the anxiety of the next day's surgery, he went deep into the Saudi desert to admire the night sky. He was decisive in trying his best to repair. Cutting off a dying heart, confronting the medical director to save his life, installing an artificial "battery" heart on a patient "without authorization", and telling cold jokes in the face of crucial surgeries where his life was hanging by a thread... The image of a surgeon with superb skills, full of arrogance and reverence for life is vividly displayed on the page.

He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing". He uses fantasy techniques to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying apsara statue in the Kizil Grottoes mural after surviving a desperate situation; and using a calm and restrained style, he reveals the intricate, pious and peaceful connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture through the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue in the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing when he was a teenager, and also reveals his peeping in books and personal stories with his nanny that were either private or frustrating and embarrassing. Under the clear blue sky, on the shores of Lake Michigan, which is green and purple, he reunited with himself who had regained his study time after the turbulent era, and realized the pursuit of his teachers, friends, and old friends for academic transcendence of politics and personal integrity and independence. Current experiences collide with past memories. "At that moment, we felt that we were all survivors of a madhouse, but many people were not as lucky as we were."

Reinterpreting Japanese History

Yoshihiko Amino was one of the most original historians in Japan in the 20th century, and he single-handedly created a new situation in the study of Japanese medieval history. In this book, he shows the changes in Japan's country and society before modern times from many aspects such as the popularization of writing, currency circulation, class and discrimination, women's social status, the origin of the emperor and Japan's national title, and the differences in culture and life in different regions. He breaks the existing common sense and rethinks and interprets Japanese history. In his writings, medieval Japan was not an isolated island country, and its residents were not just farmers who worked on the land. Nor were they just warriors with strong armor, nobles vying for power, and emperors of the eternal line. In sharp contrast is the dynamic Japanese history driven by trade, circulation and competition. A large number of non-agricultural populations are active on these stages: mountain people and sea people who live on mountains, rivers and seas, various craftsmen who form guilds, various sects of New Buddhism that are deeply involved in social changes, women who enjoy a certain degree of freedom and actively participate in social activities, and fully participate in social activities. Merchants who make use of the land and sea transportation network, geishas, beggars, and witches who run around begging for a living, various "non-humans" with "filth" on their hands, lords and bureaucrats who work hard to run estates and territories... Together with the farmers, they constantly adapt and transform the environment in order to survive and develop, and create an economy, politics, society and culture with their own characteristics.
