Through multiple intertwined story lines, this book shows the struggles and hopes of individuals under global issues such as plague, climate change, technology ethics, and family trauma. From the remains of a 30,000-year-old girl found in the Siberian permafrost, to the staff who provide "gentle farewells" to sick children in the City of Laughter; from the research on human organs grown in pigs, to the light-year immigration journey on the starship "Yamato" - each chapter is like a mirror, reflecting the heights we can still climb in the dark.

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.

Although George and Lennie in "Of Mice and Men" make a living by doing odd jobs on the farm, they dream of one day owning a small piece of land of their own and no longer living on the road. This dream is as wonderful as heaven to them, and as far away as heaven. It's a pity that the light of fate failed to shine into the cruel reality at the bottom. "Pearl" is like a fable, exuding a sharp edge that penetrates reality. When the pearl diver Jino picked up the pearl that symbolized luck from the bottom of the sea, he also opened a dark door full of human greed and evil; the stars pointing to dreams eventually became the boulder that crushed fate.

Love not only brings happiness, but also often pain. Especially love that is too persistent can turn into madness. Edgar Allan Poe loved to write stories about the death of loved ones, perhaps because his loved ones kept leaving throughout his life, and loneliness always accompanied him.

The future is not all as far away as science fiction. Every second is a part of the future and the starting point of the distant future. The choices we make at the moment determine what the future will look like. Edgar Allan Poe wrote many works that were defined as "science fiction" by later generations, but perhaps in this genius's mind, those wild futures were just small echoes of the choices made by mankind at this moment.

It is necessary for us to look at Dostoevsky from another angle. If we read his short stories and short stories carefully, we will find that they have a significant impact on him and the world. The three stories included in this collection are among them classics. "White Nights" (1848) is one of the most important masterpieces of the writer's early period (before his exile). Do these four unforgettable white nights leave an eternal and beautiful feeling in the dreamer's heart? Will he find a way out of the conflict between romantic dreams and harsh reality? --The author leaves this question to the reader. "The Little Hero" (1849) is also a love story that takes place in the summer, where dreams and reality are at war. It is worth noting that this is the only complete work written by Dostoevsky while he was in prison before his exile. Therefore, it has incomparable significance. It makes people curious. What did Dostoevsky, a political prisoner at the time, want to tell readers or himself through this childhood memory? Regarding this question, the author once said: "Read it, do you see resentment and pain in that story? It was me who had a peaceful and beautiful dream." The protagonist "The Ridiculous Man" in "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" (1877) is also a lonely dreamer. He thinks that he is the only one who knows the truth: it doesn't matter whether the world exists or not, it doesn't matter whether people exist or not, and it doesn't matter whether all the problems in society exist, so the problems will disappear. These three articles and "Notes from the Basement" can be connected into a vertical section, charting the evolution of the typical character "Dreamer" and confirming the mental journey of the protagonist in the writer's novel. Dostoevsky is a master of depicting lonely souls and portraying dreams and illusions. He throws these very modern problems of spiritual emptiness and alienation into every reader who is suffering from "modern diseases".

However, at this time, a familiar bark came from the back door.

"Jin Se" is a collection of short stories and short stories by Ge Fei, a famous contemporary writer who won both the Mao Dun Literature Award and the Lu Xun Literature Award. It includes nine famous works such as "Green and Yellow", "The Whistle", "Jin Se" and "Fool's Poems". These works are mysterious, hazy and trance-like, like a cloud of mist. The characters in the stories are all struggling to pursue their destiny, and then fatally slip into chaos at the break in the narrative. With his typical experimental narrative, Ge Fei realizes a contrast between classical aesthetics and modern spirit in the looping literary time and space, and uses intellectual philosophy to point to the cruel truth of life: everything starts from pursuit and ends up being lost.

"The Lost Boat" contains seven representative short and medium-length stories from Ge Fei's creative career, including "Remembering Mr. Wu You", "Brown Birds", "Wu Zetian", etc. The novel revolves around memories, like the undercurrent under the surface of a river, quietly pulling the characters, wandering in the passage of time and the closure of fate. The narrative progresses layer by layer, retaining tension but also deliberately leaving blank spaces, just like life itself: it may not be fully understood, but it is always being told. The story slowly unfolds in a rhythm that seems far but not far, seems near but not close, and draws towards the boundaries that reality cannot reach in the mist.
