Xiao Hong is a talented female writer famous at home and abroad in the 20th century. She is known as the "Luo Shen of Chinese literature in the 1930s". He began to publish his works officially in 1933 and died of illness in 1942. His creative career lasted only 9 years, but he left us with a precious cultural heritage of more than one million words. Xiao Hong has written a large number of novels and essays, but few people know that she also published some poems and is a talented and prolific writer. This book is a collection of Xiao Hong's poetry works. Although Xiao Hong's poetry works are not many, each one is full of spirituality.

Lu Xun's words are like throwing spears and daggers, piercing hypocrisy; and like morning bells and evening drums, awakening a sleeping soul. Reading Lu Xun is not only reading the criticism of an era, but also reading a spirit of never compromising. This book selects the most penetrating famous sentences from Lu Xun's articles, each of which embodies cold insight and fiery struggle. Facing the current situation where nihilism is spreading and value judgments are out of focus, Lu Xun's sobriety of "listening to the thunder in the silent place" and his role as a "rebellious warrior" are just a good way to wake up the mind. The selection will highlight its constructive dimensions (such as "The infinite distance, countless people, are all related to me") and break the stereotype that "Lu Xun only criticizes".

Lu Xun's character commentary has unique "archaeological" qualities. He is like an ideological physician holding a scalpel, always able to accurately cut through the surface of a character and get straight to the spiritual core. Regarding Sun Yat-sen, what he saw was not the deified "Father of the Nation" but the essential existence of "the eternal revolutionary"; in his commentary on Taiyan, he deplored his life path of retreating from a revolutionary to a scholar, but still regarded his "achievements in the history of revolution" as his position; regarding Cai Yuanpei, he had both a cold judgment of a "puppet" and a warm description of "nostalgia for old acquaintances." This dual style of writing that both tears away pretense and retains warmth constitutes the unique tension of Lu Xun's style of character criticism. This book specially collects Lu Xun's different evaluations of the same character, aiming to show the complex aspects of his thoughts. Readers can see not only his admiration for Chen Duxiu as the standard bearer of the New Culture Movement, but also his reservations about his political choices; both recognition of Hu Shi's academic status and more criticism of his political tendencies. These seemingly contradictory expressions exactly constitute Lu Xun's three-dimensional cognitive picture.

In this book, Margaret Atwood dissects key questions that have long plagued many writers. She reviewed her childhood and writing trajectory, using personal experience as a mirror to examine the various metaphors novelists and poets use to explain their creative activities, the costumes writers have historically worn, the "talent" required for writing, the conditions for obtaining such "talent", the relationship between writers, social and political power and readers, etc. She quoted extensively and eclectically, talking about a large number of living and deceased writers, as well as a lot of anecdotes from the Canadian and international literary circles. Underneath her relaxed and humorous writing style is her serious attitude towards the purpose and pleasure of writing, as well as her familiarity and deep understanding of the Western literary tradition.

This book is the only non-fiction work in the life of the great Russian writer Chekhov. However, "Travel to Sakhalin" occupies an irreplaceable position in Chekhov's literary legacy. It can even be called a manifesto of Chekhov's world view and literary practice throughout his life. The Sakhalin region has long been a barren land in Russia. Most of the people living here are hard labor exiles. The living conditions here are extremely difficult. However, what is more terrifying than the harsh natural environment is the human factor: the prevalence of bureaucracy, which destroys human dignity and kindness. Chekhov's records present these bloody facts to every reader, but the value of "Sakhalin's Travels" does not lie in its truth, but in the "human conscience" that shines between the lines. The ultimate purpose of Chekhov's writing is not to criticize and expose, but to protect everyone and fight against "violence and hypocrisy."

This book is hailed as one of the greatest literary works of Russian literature in the 20th century. It uses the devil's visit to Moscow as a clue to integrate magic, history and reality into three time-spaces. They are independent of each other in narrative and logically causal. Incomparably wild magic, true and false history, true love and ordinary reality are intertwined and stacked to form an extremely exquisite world. The author uses a playful writing style to outline the absurdity of the world, and reveals the complex relationship between good and evil, love and hate, truth and lies in the symbiotic opposition between good and evil, love and hate, truth and lies. The work breaks through the shackles of time and space and has eternal artistic charm, becoming another peak in the history of Russian literature.

At that time, the writer Xiao Hong was in Tokyo, Japan. When she learned the news late, she was shocked and deeply saddened. I wrote the article "In Tokyo" to express my condolences. After that, Xiao Hong returned to China and often met with her wife Xu Guangping. They went to her home to reminisce about old times. There was a gray-blue vase in her home with evergreens planted in it, which would last through the winter. Every time Xiao Hong went there, the flowers were always green, but the vase was placed anywhere, and finally placed in front of her husband's portrait. After the war broke out, people moved away from Peiping, and the vases were placed in Mr. Lu Xun's cemetery. Because people moved south, the cemetery lost care, and the tomb grass grew very tall, burying the vases and covering Mr. Lu Xun's porcelain statue. But no matter how far we go, the past is still young, and the people who have passed away will be remembered in our hearts. The last article in the collection, "Memories of Mr. Lu Xun", is the longest. It tells every detail of Xiao Hong and Mr. Lu Xun's family, their deep friendship, and plain records. It is a precious first-hand information to understand that era, Mr. Lu Xun, and the living conditions of his family.

If today's youth want to start from me, cultivate a sound personality and shape qualified citizens, "Chinese Cultivation" really has important guiding value.

The seventeen essays on the right are part of the original manuscript of "Yiyou Wenbian". After being compiled in the winter of 1952, it was hidden at the bottom of the box for a long time. Three years ago, Mr. Cao Juren traveled to the north for a visit, and as a token of appreciation, he took him to Hong Kong and published several articles in magazines, which were later published in a volume, namely "Past Work". For the remaining part, he used the name "Yiyou Wenbian" in order to sort it out. Mr. Cao is really grateful for all his kindness. Speaking of Yiyou Year, this was already fifteen years ago. The social situation is different now and then, so some of the complaints have become outdated. This requires the readers' forgiveness, but the author is very happy. The few articles that talk about famous objects and folk customs may not have much importance here, but some readers prefer these. After liberation, I also wrote many short articles to supplement newspapers and periodicals. This year, I selected fragments and compiled a book "Leaves of Grass", which will be available to readers in March or April.

This book contains about 50 prose essays by Zhou Zuoren, such as "About Bitter Tea", "Old Notes", "Analects of Confucius", "Changdian No. 2", "Scientific Essays" and "Modern Prose Short Preface", which contain the author's sober thinking about tea and life. The whole book gives people a sense of artistic freshness. Reading "Essays on Bitter Tea" is like tasting a cup of real bitter tea.

This book contains 47 essays by Zhou Zuoren, which can be regarded as his cultural criticism works. The author chose "articles that combine sound physics and profound human thoughts, and mix the simplicity of prose with the beauty of parallel prose", establishing a new style of "Book Talk", which takes reading as an opportunity, relies on the extension of knowledge and the collision of ideas, and expands into the fields of culture, history and society; in terms of method, he excerpts large sections of the original work and adds a few notes. Therefore, Zhou Zuoren also called himself "Wen Chao Gong". This book embodies this characteristic of Zhou Zuoren.

"The Book on a Rainy Day" is a very famous and representative collection of Zhou Zuoren's prose collection. It includes such well-known masterpieces as "Wild Vegetables in Hometown", "Tea Food in Beijing" and "Drinking Tea". The text in the book is plain and natural, leisurely and harmonious. It is the current peak of Chinese prose.

"Talks after Holding a Candle" mainly collects Zhou Zuoren's works from April to October 1937. As the author said, "There are many leisurely topics in the articles in this book." However, they are all leisurely topics, but the content can be divided into two categories. One expresses interest, and the other is false. The author continues to criticize the dark phenomena in Chinese and Western cultures in articles such as "Talking about Literary Inquisition". In Literary Prison, the author pays special attention to the category of "killing people with thoughts" and points out that the essence of ideological tyranny is that people generally lose their ability to think and judge, and consciously converge towards tyranny itself. Zhou always maintains a clear understanding of traditional Chinese culture, carefully distinguishes it, and does not let go of the bad side.

"Gua Dou Ji" contains thirty-three essays by Zhou Zuoren, written from May to December 1936. In addition to essays such as "The Bean" and "Talking About Raising Birds", there are also several works recalling characters. Moreover, Zhou Zuoren also put forward his own views on family and women's issues, reflecting his consistent sympathetic attitude.

"Talk about Wind and Rain" contains thirty-seven essays by Zhou Zuoren, written from November 1935 to May 1936. Most of them are articles written by Zhou Zuoren after carefully reading his own collection of Ming and Qing notes, such as "Miscellaneous Records of Duyin" and "Yanjing Chronicles". Based on the principle of "emphasis on emotion and reason", he "picked out gold from the sand" to rediscover the literary and ideological value of these Ming and Qing notes.

"Bing Candle Talk" contains thirty essays by Zhou Zuoren, written from November 1936 to April 1937. In his later years, the author looked back on his writings and emphasized the concentration of cultural criticism works such as "Fu De Mao". The materials he draws do not avoid ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries. It can be said that discoveries are made because of knowledge and interesting because of discoveries.
