"Ni Huanzhi" is Ye Shengtao's masterpiece and the only full-length novel he created. Ni Huanzhi is a young man who eagerly pursues new things. After the failure of the Revolution of 1911, Ni Huanzhi put "all hope of saving the country in education" and expected to use "ideal education" to wash away the darkness of society. He also longed for a marriage relationship of mutual help and love, and loved and pursued Jin Peizhang, a woman with similar thoughts and interests as himself. However, Ni Huanzhi encountered obstacles in his educational career many times, and his family life was also far away from his original intention. This made Ni Huanzhi deeply feel the loneliness and pain of "having a wife, but losing a lover and a comrade." With the arrival of the May 4th Movement, Ni Huanzhi was involved in the revolutionary wave, and began to turn his attention to the "public masses" and devote himself to social transformation activities. During the May 30th Movement and the climax of the Great Revolution, Ni Huanzhi participated in intense revolutionary work. From the reformist nature of "education to save the nation", it later turned to revolution. After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary massacre, Ni Huanzhi did not persist in the heroic struggle like Wang Leshan, but felt fragilely that "it had changed too much". He became pessimistic and disappointed, drank and cried bitterly, and died with the question and hope of "when will we see the light?"

"They all say that the auxiliary police officers are only half of the police. With you as the deputy director, we are exactly three and a half." "No, we should say three and a half good police officers!" The police station in the upper half of the city is always a solid camp with soldiers. Everyone knows that the security here is the most difficult: it gathers the city's lower class and migrant workers, and the rules and regulations are connected with the neighborhood. Because of the intricate roads, it has become a transit place for many roving criminals. During this year, five auxiliary police officers with very different personalities joined the police station: Duan Yifei, a motivated young man who has just retired from the army, Long Siwen, a domineering and confused rich boy, Lin Xinrui, a college student who escaped from his original family, Yuan Qiangqiang, a local foodie, and Du Yuhao, a veteran joint defense team member.

"Northanger Abbey" is different from the other five Austen novels in that it uses an open narrator and an exposed authorial narrative voice, demonstrating the author's authority. It was the first novel Austen planned to publish, and the final draft was completed around 1797, when Austen was about 22 years old. In this novel, the author first showed his talents and his writing style took shape. He used "three or four families in a village" as the life background and narrated a marriage story in a very ironic way. Austen's works reflect the various social conditions at that time through the daily dialogue and communication of gentlemen and ladies. They use humorous language to satirize the phenomena of profit-seeking and vanity. Through comic scenes, they mock people's stupidity, selfishness, snobbery, blind confidence and other despicable and ridiculous weaknesses. "Lady Susan" is Austen's first completed novel. It tells an Austen-style story through intricate letters exchanged between relatives and friends, and in this way it takes the story mode of people talking about other people to the extreme. This book tells the story of a widow, Lady Susan, who is looking for a husband for herself and her daughter. Lady Susan is a very attractive and cunning woman, which adds to the watchability of the story.

"The Idiot" is a novel written by the Russian writer Dostoevsky in the 19th century. He began writing in the autumn of 1867 and published it in 1868. "The Idiot" provides a broad depiction of the Russian upper class after the serfdom reform, involving complex psychological and moral issues. This novel expresses that the world cannot be quantified rationally, and is even beyond human imagination. What is inexplicable and unachievable by humans does not require thinking, and those who think about it and practice it are "idiots". This should be a perfect irony of the belief advocated by many Enlightenment thinkers that "man's logical calculations must conform to the laws of nature, and human calculations are equal to heaven's calculations." This kind of logic that overly believes that the world can be calculated and excludes all contradictions and willful movements is actually the arrogance of human beings.

"Sisters" is a novel written by Zhu Mo. Tao Jiang and Tao Ran are sisters. They are eight years apart and have very different personalities. The year their parents divorced, their lives had different foreshadowings. Whether to stay in your hometown or go to a big city, whether to get married early and have children or work hard for your career, whether to swallow your anger and take care of your family or be unruly and be yourself, whether to enjoy a sweet bond or pursue the freedom of loneliness... The dilemmas that women always encounter in life are also the issues faced by the Tao sisters. The two sisters chose different directions at every stage of their lives, and therefore lived completely different lives, each with its own scenery and its own price. They misunderstood each other and quarreled, but they never gave up on each other. The dozens of emails they exchanged were the mark of their growth and allowed them to finally understand each other's choices and re-understand the meaning of home. The experiences described by the two sisters in the first person are also the real lives of ordinary women. The psychological distortion caused by the preference for sons over daughters is passed on between generations, turning women from victims to perpetrators; independent single women, although successful in their careers, still face pressure from family and society in marriage and love... The author does not stop at describing reality, but seeks to transcend. The years-long correspondence between the sisters allows readers to see that there is not only jealousy and secret wrestling between women, but also firm support and protection, and more importantly - mutual understanding.

Like Joyce's masterpiece "Ulysses," DeLillo's "Metropolis" is a story that takes place in one day. Twenty-eight-year-old billionaire Eric Parker is a talented asset manager. His nature is to constantly grab new things from the world. One day in April 2000, Eric was sitting in his limousine, planning to get a haircut. Along the way, he kept receiving experts in various fields and discussed with them the rise and fall of the Japanese currency. He discovers that New York is actually at a standstill: the president's motorcade is passing through the city, a rapper's funeral is underway, a violent anti-globalization demonstration is taking place in Times Square... His limousine is heading toward an increasingly uncertain future. In this novel, plot is not the first thing. For DeLillo, plot is simply a vehicle for his poignant and entertaining observations and reflections on contemporary American society. Through fragmented scenes, the novel shows the relationship between alienation and fantasy, art and commerce, reality and imagination, sex and death, global market and terrorism, and the real world composed of all these is like a kaleidoscope of postmodern discourse.
