Later generations used it to refer to the capital in general, so "Chunming Foreign History" means "A Grand View of Beijing's Strange Current Situation". The author takes society as the warp and romance as the weft, "using the method of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to write "The Scholars"". It has a broad background and touches all walks of life, showing the various human emotions of the three religions and nine streams in Beijing. It is a genre painting and shady picture of Beijing in the 1920s.

The novel "The Wine of Loneliness" was first published in 1935. The autobiographical text is both cold and hot. Nemirovsky used the protagonist Elena in the novel to tell the story of his disgusted childhood: a Russian middle-class family that suffered changes, endless escapes, a speculative businessman father, a greedy and selfish mother, absent family ties, abnormal love, and an isolated situation where only the tutor was warm. After her mother drove away her tutor, the precocious girl decided to use love to avenge her mother. When successful revenge could not stop the absurdity of her original family, she made another choice... "I am lonely, but my loneliness is bitter and intoxicating." About the author The legendary female writer Irène Némirovsky (1903-1942) was born in 1903 in Kiev to a family of Ukrainian Jewish bankers. After the October Revolution, she moved to Paris and entered the French literary scene with her debut novel "David Goedel". Her powerful writing style made it difficult for readers to believe that the author was a young woman. Later, she wrote many novels such as "The Ball", "The Kurilov Incident", "Isabel" and "Prey". After the outbreak of World War II, Nemirovsky began to flee, and creation became both difficult and dangerous. In the summer of 1942, she was murdered in Auschwitz. The unfinished and ambitious work "Suite Française" followed her eldest daughter Denis through the war. It was published in 2004 and won the Renaudot Literary Award that year. Nemirovsky became the only writer to win this award with a posthumous work.

Austen began writing the first draft of "Northanger Abbey" in 1798, completed it in 1799, and then shelved it for several years. In 1803, it was revised again and named "Susan". In the spring of that year, the copyright was sold to a London publisher for 10 pounds. However, for unknown reasons, the book has never been published. In 1816, his brother Henry Austen bought back the old manuscript of "Susan" and asked Austen to revise it. At the end of December 1817, "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion" were published together. The story tells the story of Catherine, the daughter of a country priest who is obsessed with gothic horror novels, and sometimes treats real life as a virtual world in legendary stories. She was taken to social occasions to see the world, and made friends with the hypocritical Thorpe brothers and sisters. She fell in love at first sight with the upright and handsome rich boy Henry, and was later warmly invited by Henry's father, Admiral Tierney, to visit his home. In the deep and ancient house of Northanger Abbey, Catherine's mind was filled with horrific scenes from horror novels, which led to scenes of ridiculous adventures. Admiral Tierney, who disliked poverty and loved wealth, listened to Thorpe's slander and coldly ordered Catherine to be expelled. But the two young lovers did not give in. After some twists and turns, they finally got married. Like several other Austen novels, "Northanger Abbey" is also a comedy full of humor. The characters are written with flesh and blood, vivid, and the dialogues are vivid and full of personality. Reading it is like hearing her voice and seeing her person. No wonder critics often compare her with Shakespeare.

"Mansfield Park" was started in February 1811, two years before the publication of "Pride and Prejudice", and was completed "shortly after June 1813". It is speculated that it should be published at the end of May 1814. Like several other Austen novels, "Mansfield Park" takes the love and marriage of young men and women as its theme, but the plot is more complex, the emergencies are more concentrated, and the social satire is more intense, revealing the artificiality and absurdity of the British upper class. Judging from the publication time, "Mansfield Park" is only one year later than "Pride and Prejudice", but the tone and atmosphere of the two works are quite different. "Pride and Prejudice" is both light and bright, while "Mansfield Park" is more solemn and has a more obvious moral preaching color. However, it has a major breakthrough in psychological description and narrative skills. It is a milestone in the history of the development of British novels, indicating that Jane Austen was already a quite mature female writer when she wrote "Mansfield Park".

"Shakespeare's Sonnets" is a representative work of poetry by the famous British poet and dramatist William Shakespeare. Liang Zongdai's translation of "Shakespeare's Sonnets" is a model work of Shakespeare's sonnet translation. Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong believes that "Liang's translation has a deep understanding of the original text and a euphemistic interpretation... It goes in deeply and comes out very pure." This book is bilingual in Chinese and English, making it convenient for translation enthusiasts, poetry lovers and researchers to read and study the original text.
