Mu Shiying's "Black Whirlwind" is one of his early representative works of popular literature. It was first included in the novel collection "North and South Pole". It takes the violent resistance and emotional dilemma of the bottom workers as the core, and presents a distinct color of social criticism. The novel tells the story of the worker "Black Tornado" and his sworn brother Wang from a first-person perspective. Brother Wang admires Wu Song in "Water Margin", compares himself to Liangshan heroes, and falls in love with Xiao Yu'er, the daughter of the dairy shed owner. However, Xiao Yuer was pursued by college students in the town and gradually alienated Brother Wang. Black Tornado witnessed his brother being cuckolded, and out of anger, he beat Xiao Yuer and the college student in public, and was eventually arrested by the patrol police and jailed for three months. This plot of the novel continues the narrative pattern of "failed resistance to oppression" in the author's earlier works - under the double blow of material deprivation and emotional betrayal, men at the bottom choose to vent their emotions through violence. However, violence did not change their fate, and their final imprisonment only strengthened the unshakable nature of class oppression; such tragedies will only be repeated in the future. This episode also includes "Reiko" and "The Man Used as a Pastime", overlaying the theme of emotional alienation. The survival plight of lower-class workers highlighted throughout the article is still a warning to read today.

"Business Woman" reveals the salvation of the soul by the spirit of Christian fraternity under marital betrayal and cultural conflict through the ups and downs of the Nanyang Chinese who cherish their official positions, embodying the integration of religion and human nature. "The Gills of the Iron Fish" portrays the tragic image of the scientist Mr. Lei, using the "Gills of the Iron Fish" to symbolize the disillusionment of the ideal of scientific national salvation and the loneliness and perseverance of intellectuals in turbulent times. There are sharp criticisms of social hypocrisy in the book, such as "In Prime Minister Fei's Living Room", and bitter satires on intellectuals - "The Three Doctors" uses the vanity of those who have returned from studying abroad as a mirror to reflect the exaggeration of the times. "Mother of All Creations" depicts the persistence of motherhood and the cruelty of war machines through the mental trance of a mother who lost her only child during the war. "The Lone Star on the Cape" uses the life and death of a poor couple to tell the story of the impermanence of fate and the poignancy of love. Xu Dishan is an erudite and "spiritual" writer who integrates religious philosophy into narratives, such as the questions about life and death in "After Dusk" and "Farewell", which have a spiritual depth that spans a hundred years.

"Wandering" is Lu Xun's second novel collection, which includes a total of eleven novels written from 1924 to 1925. The writing period of "Wandering" coincided with the ebb of the May Fourth Movement, and divisions occurred within the New Culture Movement camp. On the one hand, the author "felt lonely" and "desolate" because he "became a wanderer and could not form an array", but on the other hand, he "summed up past experience, looked for new comrades, and deployed new battles." "Wandering", which came out under this background, compared with his first collection of novels "The Scream", "Although the technology is better than before, the thoughts seem to be less restrained, but the will to fight is much colder." "Wandering" is full of concern for the peasants and intellectuals living under the heavy pressure of feudal forces who "sorrow for their misfortune" and "are angry for not fighting". The artistic techniques of "Wandering" are "sophisticated" - the profound and broad historical picture; the narration of the characters' fate permeated with emotions; the line drawing method of "drawing eyes" and "soul hooking", and the plump characters are of typical significance.

The work takes women as the center and focuses on the intense, long-lasting and tough complex relationships between women. With gentle and fresh words, he captures the violence and resistance that are ignored under the calm water. The women in the story fight against similar fates and become each other's support. In the many cages that want to oppress and imprison them, they resolutely carry out mutual rescue and support - the female teacher who uses her own clothes to help the female students during their menstruation in "Even with the Weakest Light", the company female employees who silently listen to each other's concerns in the cold and unfair workplace in "One Year" Seniors and interns, the sister in "Reply" who chooses to protect her sister from domestic violence even though she is in jail, and the aunt in "Letter to My Aunt" who has lost her fertility and endures the glare of her family but still devotes herself to raising her niece... They are close and distant, relying on each other and independent of each other, like small light spots flickering face to face, telling the trembling and touch of finding the same kind in the dark night. They were infinitely close and then suddenly drove to different distances. In the end, they could only reconcile each other with light across a long distance. Even if they never met each other, even if they were extremely weak, as long as they knew that the other party existed somewhere, they could keep walking.
