British national writer McEwan's latest novella, When Kafka Encountered "Brexit", is a tribute to "The Metamorphosis"; a bilingual masterpiece, an authentic appreciation of McEwan's elegant and wise writing style; exquisite structure, bold innovation, inheriting the legacy of Jonathan Swift. "Cockroach" is McEwan's latest novella, which describes the magical experience of a cockroach: after crawling from the Houses of Parliament to the Prime Minister's residence, after waking up, the cockroach found that it had occupied the body of Prime Minister Jim Sams, and at the same time became the most powerful man in Britain. As the British Prime Minister, Jim Sams's mission is to realize the will of the people - to implement "reversalism" in the UK and even to promote it around the world. Neither opposition outside the party, dissidents within the party, nor the principles of parliamentary democracy can hinder the new prime minister from completing his mission. In addition to the novel's obvious tribute to Kafka's classic work "The Metamorphosis", McEwan also inherited the mantle of Jonathan Swift and used the ancient form of political satire to express his feelings about the dilemma of Britain's "Brexit" and brought the art form of irony to an unparalleled height. At the same time, this novella, which is exquisitely structured and boldly innovative, still displays typical McEwan wisdom and smooth writing style. The bilingual text in Chinese and English allows readers to appreciate McEwan's elegant and wise words in an original way while appreciating the Chinese translation.

"Chamber of Commerce" closely revolves around the ups and downs of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. The story originated from the Qing government's establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce on the basis of integrating various merchant guilds in Shanghai in response to pressure from the British to amend the Treaty of Xinchou according to its terms. From the beginning, this association became a platform for various business gangs in Shanghai to compete with each other. The two increasingly powerful business gangs, Guangdong merchants and Ningbo merchants, fought against each other for dominance in the chamber of commerce. In the end, they both became pawns of the Taiji merchant gang led by Lord Shang Ding, a senior official of the Qing government, and Taiji merchants. Remember that after the fall of the Qing government, we finally lost control of the Chamber of Commerce, which allowed our protagonist to integrate the Chamber of Commerce according to an ideal model that conforms to the development of the times. Eventually, the Chamber of Commerce gradually transitioned from an authoritarian platform with exclusive authority to a democratic platform where various merchant guilds coexist harmoniously. This line explains the core of the drama from beginning to end, that is, the dignity of a group does not come from the authoritarian or dictatorial power of any gang or government or individual, but from the legitimacy of the system or procedure that ties the group together. "Chamber of Commerce" focuses on shaping the four male protagonists, Wu Jingju, Fu Shun'an, Chen Jiong and Zhang Hu. The four male protagonists respectively represent the four realms of dignity: the first male represents complete dignity, which is symbolized by complete independence of personality; the second male represents the lack of dignity, which is symbolized by complete dependence of personality; the third and fourth males represent , represents the incompleteness of dignity from two extremes, one from the perspective of the revolutionary party and the other from the perspective of the underworld. What they have in common is that both have independent personalities and lack of personality, because both of them seek benefits for some people, rather than standing on a higher dimension and seeking benefits for everyone in the world like Male One.

The two increasingly powerful business gangs, Guangdong merchants and Ningbo merchants, fought against each other for dominance in the chamber of commerce. In the end, they both became pawns of the Taiji merchant gang led by Lord Shang Ding, a senior official of the Qing government, and Taiji merchants. Remember that after the fall of the Qing government, we finally lost control of the Chamber of Commerce, which allowed our protagonist to integrate the Chamber of Commerce according to an ideal model that conforms to the development of the times. Eventually, the Chamber of Commerce gradually transitioned from an authoritarian platform with exclusive authority to a democratic platform where various merchant guilds coexist harmoniously. This line explains the core of the drama from beginning to end, that is, the dignity of a group does not come from the authoritarian or dictatorial power of any gang or government or individual, but from the legitimacy of the system or procedure that ties the group together. "Chamber of Commerce" focuses on shaping the four male protagonists, Wu Jingju, Fu Shun'an, Chen Jiong and Zhang Hu. The four male protagonists respectively represent the four realms of dignity: the first male represents complete dignity, which is symbolized by complete independence of personality; the second male represents the lack of dignity, which is symbolized by complete dependence of personality; the third and fourth males represent , represents the incompleteness of dignity from two extremes, one from the perspective of the revolutionary party and the other from the perspective of the underworld.
