After all, he is the breadwinner of the family, and his work cannot be delayed, and there are people from the company behind him to supervise. However, it was the outside world that found it difficult to adapt to Samsa's changes. His boss fled in fear, his father did not hesitate to hurt him, and his sister's pity became unbearable...

On a cold snowy night, a land surveyor came to the village, only to find that his destination could never be reached in the years to come; on the morning of his thirtieth birthday, a bank executive was suddenly and inexplicably arrested, and all his efforts for trial were in vain; a traveling salesman woke up from his sleep and turned into a beetle, and the whole world became so strange...
