Lin Shu, a famous translator in the Republic of China, is known as the founder of modern Chinese literary circles. His translations use ancient Chinese, and all of them adopt the form of joint translation, that is, with the cooperation of other people's oral translation, "the sound has stopped when the ears are followed by the hand." With his excellent classical literacy, skillful expression skills and fluent writing style, he has formed a unique style, which is favored by Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren and others, and is rated as better than the original work. This article is a legendary novel, translated today by David Copperfield. It tells the story of the protagonist's life from childhood to middle age. Taking the birth of "I" as the source, the sincerity and darkness of friends, the childishness and impulsiveness of love, the sweetness and triviality of marriage, and the conflicts and harmony of family members are gathered into a stream that slowly flows on the river bed of fate and eventually merges into the tolerant and magnificent sea.

At night, the fox comes, making soft noises, whispering, and panting slightly. The fox is always by our side, haunting us like a nightmare. So, we linger on the people and things in the past: Who will be remembered? And in what way will it be remembered forever? When these disappear from memory, does it mean real death? The eight stories are linked thematically and are meditations on love and memory, life and death. The emotions evoked by those old photos, those lost lovers, missed selves, hurt fools, those fateful encounters, and fruitless love affairs, allow us to collect and reconstruct those sad or lost memories in life. Life only lasts for a moment, originally silent.

Thirteen short stories, the background is suffering, but what emerges are rivers and dusk. The falling dusk in Li Yu's works is a warning of the coming turmoil; the flowing water of the river is the imminent reappearance of history and memory. All kinds of blood, tears and pain, she uses the eyes of an art historian to turn the noise into desolation, presenting a light and distant picture. What connects countless pictures is the "multiple citation" technique proposed by Li Yu as a novelist. The perspective is extended, time and space are switched, and the story comes and goes; the faces that have gone through hardships also change, they are officers, spies, painters, and singers, and they seek the possibility of redemption amidst the chaos and wandering.

She cannot see the goal of life and believes that happiness will never come tomorrow. This is just a female student's random thoughts in one day. There is no profound meaning, no rigorous logic, but it is extremely true: a twenty-year-old girl's "Waiting for Godot".

Nagai Kafeng

"Flower of Hell" is a collection of classic novels by the Japanese aestheticist writer Karika Nagai, including "Flower of Hell", "Sumida River", "Fox", "The Snow Melts", "Sleeping Face", "Enomonogatari", "Song of Fukagawa" and other representative novels. The famous novel "Hell Flower" of the same name reflects the Meiji era women's determination to break through secular concepts and strive for the freedom and happiness of modern people through the experiences of a girl Sonoko who worked as a female teacher in a wealthy family. This work is regarded as the declaration of Japan's "Zolaism" and plays an important role in the history of Japanese literature. Nagai Kafeng focuses on ordinary people, or writes about young people who choose to die due to illness because their dreams cannot be realized ("Sumida River"), or writes about the fox exorcism experience that I experienced as a teenager, which made me doubt the karma in the world ("Fox"), or writes about the confession of the past left by the old abbot of a small temple. A life story ("Enomonogatari"), or a waitress reunited with a father who abandoned his daughter and lived a miserable life ("The Snow Melts"). Even if all living beings live in the mire of the bottom and face the test of sin and evil, they still have "beautiful flowers of human love" and "fragrant fruits of tears." Unlike Junichiro Tanizaki who was keen to oppose the repression of sex and love by feudal ethics through female beauty and sensual beauty, Karika Nagai was better at ridiculing and criticizing the superficial Westernization of Japan after the Meiji Restoration by describing the world's customs. Karika Nagai pays attention to the female group, especially those lower class characters struggling in the quagmire of fate. They represent the slowly disappearing Edo style. His works reveal the hedonistic thoughts of grasping the present and experiencing joy. They also reflect the author's pursuit of truth in the Japanese social situation at that time, and his unique rebellious style of commemorating Edo customs to resist the hypocrisy of society.

The historical novel "Sunset Glow at the Scattered Willow Window" was written in 1913 and was originally titled "The Death of a Popular Novelist". It describes the decline and decline of the famous Edo period popular novelist Yanahutei Tanehiko due to the severe cultural policies of the Tenpo Reform in the Edo period. The novella "Before and After the Plum Rain" of the same name describes the degenerate life of a cafe waitress Kimie from the countryside to the city in Ginza, a busy city in Tokyo, Japan, where the west wind blows from the east. It is one of Nagai Kafeng's masterpieces in his mature creative period. Beauty and retro have become his unique aesthetic style. "The Flower of the Shade" also reflects the mentality of private prostitution. Unlike Junichiro Tanizaki who was keen to oppose the repression of sex and love by feudal ethics through female beauty and sensual beauty, Karika Nagai was better at ridiculing and criticizing the superficial Westernization of Japan after the Meiji Restoration by describing the world's customs.

These short stories are written in a style and character that transcends the boundaries of realism, where familiar instincts mingle with changing, unpredictable wildness, and where the boundaries between human and animal are erased by myth and metamorphosis. Johnson reveals the stories of these protagonists in a new, thoroughly modern voice that challenges the limits of the power of the short story.

"Paradise Tour": In the final chapter of my life, I embarked on a journey. Driving a tattered van through dozens of cities, tearing through the rainy days and sneaking into foreign lands, the end is paradise. The light blue sky, purple clouds, and street lights are embedded in the sunset. The mountain road was filled with 10,000 tons of water vapor, the wind blew through the dense forest, and I broke into the endless night. She said it would always be bright. So, let's record together our life before dawn. "Passing Through Your World": This is a heartwarming story dedicated to you by Zhang Jiajia. At first, it was widely circulated on the Internet in the name of the "Bedtime Stories" series. Within a few days, it had been forwarded 1.5 Million times and read over 400 million times, attracting huge sums of money from film investors, who signed the film rights to five of the stories in a blink of an eye. Every minute, someone sees themselves in Zhang Jiajia's story. Anyone who has read Bedtime Stories will know that this is a messy book. It's like a friend narrating to you late at night, describing the thousands of mountains and rivers he has traveled through. There are so many chapters, some are warm, some are bright, some are lonely, some are crazy, some are boring, and some are nonsense. When you have insomnia, when you need comfort, when you are waiting for the train, when you are lazy in bed, when you feel sleepy after a meal, you should be able to find a suitable chapter. I hope to write a book that you can keep by your pillow, put on your bookshelf, or give to someone important to you. Passing by your world, just open an article. "There is a Canteen in the Clouds": Let Liu Shisan accompany you into the spring, summer, autumn and winter of Yunbian Town, and witness every encounter and parting. "Some people are unforgettable and will be forgotten within a few years. Some people will stay with you whether they live or die." Platycodon flowers bloomed all over the town, and dandelions flew higher than the pomegranate trees and floated into the rice sea at the foot of the mountain. In most people's minds, their hometown will later become a point, like an eternal island. Grandma said, what is hometown? Our ancestors are buried here for generations, so it is called hometown. Liu Shisan just looked at the little girl, with ponytail and delicate features, walking towards him like she was in a dream. There is no doubt that Liu Shisan believes that this scene will be remembered for a lifetime. Love must give. Like ordinary young people, Liu Shisan has nothing to offer, only the future that has not yet come. This side of the mountain is Liu Shisan's childhood, and the other side of the mountain is Grandma's sea. The mountain breeze is gentle, like waves swaying under the moonlight, some, some, not, gentle and soft, staying behind time and becoming a story I heard when I was a child. Live for others, but also live for yourself. Hope and sadness are both rays of light. One day, we will meet again. "Let Me Stay by Your Side" is a collection of heart-warming stories written by Zhang Jiajia from the perspective of her adopted dog daughter Mei Xi. This book is also a special work by Zhang Jiajia. It has been revised for a whole year and has been completely supplemented. It tells the story of Maisie, a golden retriever dog bought in installments. Each of these stories seems to be time and distance, possession and disappearance in Mai Qian's eyes, but it is also a story that Zhang Jiajia tells millions of people, and is a warm gift from dogs to people on earth. Maisie's friends are like friends around us. Maisie's daily life seems to be happening around us at zero distance, and Maisie seems to have always been by our side.

Mr. Zhang Rongchang, a senior translator and professor at Peking University, has studied Kafka's authoritative translation for decades. Different versions of some articles have been collected together to restore the fragments deleted by the author. This set includes all of Kafka's novels in three volumes. "The Metamorphosis: A Collection of Short and Novels" includes all of Kafka's short and short stories, among which "The Metamorphosis", "In the Penal Colony", "Before the Gate of Law", "The Hungry Artist" and "The Country Teacher" are all popular masterpieces. They all use symbols, metaphors, exaggeration and other techniques, with vivid plots and concise and smooth language; the stories are weird and bizarre, with no definite time and place, no cause and effect, giving people a dreamy, mysterious and strange feeling. The protagonists of the works are almost always in a situation where they can't help themselves. They all have their own goals in the bizarre world, but they often end up failing. "The Missing" is Kafka's first novel, and "The Proceedings" is the first novel for which the author was well-known in the literary world. Each has its own distinctive characteristics, and has begun to show Kafka's unique creative style in the future. "The Castle" is the last of Kafka's three novels, and it is also Kafka's most distinctive and important novel. It was first written in 1922. Through the land surveyor K's encounter when he tried to enter the castle but failed, a seemingly completely unknown world of experience was constructed, but it showed unusual reality.

"Summer Nights: The Complete Works of Duras 2" is the second volume of "The Complete Works of Duras". It contains three novels "The Sailor of Gibraltar", "The Pony of Tarquinia" and "Half-A-Ten on a Summer Night" written by the French writer Duras between 1952 and 1960. It is a work in which the writer is in a period of transformation, transforming from traditional writing to personal style writing. Duras no longer focuses on telling stories in a straightforward manner, but instead expresses subtle moods and emotions in seemingly dull dialogues. The novel still has a relatively complete plot, but with the addition of magic and black suspense novel colors, the boundaries between fiction and reality begin to blur, and the rhythm of language and narrative begins to become fractured.

Most of the stories in "Seven Not Too Dark Nights" occur in desolate corners of bustling cities. These lives are always considered "shallow" because they are "remote" and "mediocre" because they are "difficult." But when we look closely at these desolate corners, we can see the vastness from the smallest difficulties and troubles in life, and we can see their prosperity in these desolations. This kind of inner energy can emit a faint light. A night with this kind of light is not a dark night. The lives in the story exist around us and in us: the janitor, the patrolling security guard, the cheating liar, the most inconspicuous intern in the company, the newly divorced man upstairs, the stay-at-home mother downstairs, and even the stray cats and dogs in the community... Behind these trivial identities, they have their own deep feelings, their own dreams, their own glory and loss.
