Therefore, this collection was selected according to the changes of time. There are a total of 18 short stories in the "Story of Smoke Village" series, 8 of which are selected here. What I write about in this series is mostly my childhood rural memories, those people struggling to make a living in the pure natural scenery. Some commentators believe that my novels continue the tradition of lyrical novels by Shen Congwen and Wang Zengqi. In this group of novels, I write more about farmers who endure hardships and live in poverty. I have no intention of singing an elegy of rustic innocence.

Compared with "The Story of Yancun" which looks at life through a child's eyes, the boy in "Bell-bottomed Pants in 1983" has a half-understood understanding of life. He has witnessed the tragedy of his teenage brother's fate - the process of idealism being shattered by real life. Looking back at this novel, I still burst into tears when I read that the young brother cut off his bell-bottoms to use as diapers for him. The child who looked up to his brother back then is now in his fifties and still fighting against life to protect the idealism in his heart. Now, my heart is filled with desolation and coldness. Life is oppressive, but I no longer have the courage to stand up. The narrator of "Boy's Journey" has grown up from the twelve-year-old child in "Bell-Bottoms Floating in 1983" to the age of a teenage brother. He is now eighteen years old and is also facing the same problems that the teenage brother once had. I have ideals in my heart, but I am stuck in the countryside. He is struggling hard to get rid of the future written by fate. This novel is written about the process of struggle. He didn't know what he wanted, but he knew exactly what he didn't want. So, at the end of "Youth Journey", he left the countryside and headed for the city of his dreams. He came to "Guanwai" in Shenzhen. This was something he had never expected when he was young. He tried his best and was unable to enter from outside the pass. Pass, here, is the actual reference of Nantou Pass in Shenzhen, and undoubtedly it is also a symbol. He fled the countryside and dreamed of entering the "Guan Nei", but he was unable to enter. This period of life is a true record of his youth life. "Root-seeking Group" is written about his middle age. When he fled the countryside and wandered outside the Shenzhen customs, he began to look back at his hometown and returned to the village he had fled as a successful person. He wanted to find his roots, but his hometown was left to them, only to be disappointed and escaped again. He spent forty years living as a lost soul in urban and rural areas. He is not a farmer, but he cannot accept the city like a serious city dweller. It's him, of course, it's me. It is the history of my life and the history of my soul. The process of selecting and compiling this collection of novels relives how a sensitive, young and innocent heart can turn into a tough old soul under the temper of life. I would like to show this process to my readers. I also borrowed this book to pay tribute to my old soul.

This book tells three interesting fantasy stories, which are science fiction, suspense novels, and romance novels. These stories happen around us, and they are filled with the flavor of the times.

The first work of Carlos Fuentes, the leader of the "Latin American Literature Explosion", takes us to peek into the secrets behind the mask that we don't want to reveal to others. The six stories have different styles and are full of whimsical ideas. When it was first published in 1954, it sparked heated discussions in the Mexican literary world at the time. The collection of short stories "The Day We Weared the Mask" was first published in 1954. It is the first work created by Carlos Fuentes, one of the four protagonists of the "Latin American Literature Explosion" and a master of Mexican literature. The book is composed of six short stories full of text and ideological vitality. There are macro thoughts on human civilization, a political allegory pointing to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, a tragic identification with foreign invasion and enlightened monarchs, a bizarre metaphor for the Panama Canal, awe of the Aztec gods, and a mockery of consumerism that ultimately destroys civilization. The whole work is full of whimsical ideas, and the opening chapter "Chuck Mohr" is one of Fuentes's most acclaimed short stories.

"Periodic Table of Elements" is a collection of essays by Italian writer Primo Levi with a strong style. It has autobiographical elements, but also combines fables, imagination, and even history. By explaining the characteristics of twenty-one elements, the author narrates his own growth and life before and after World War II, and conducts a profound and moving inquiry into the hidden relationship between human morality and the material world. The two identities of chemist and Auschwitz survivor coexist so strongly in Levi. For Levi, chemistry was "a political school". The material world of chemistry presented him with many subtle ethical and moral metaphors, helping him face the various displacements he experienced as an Italian Jew during the fascist years. Levi used the inert gas "argon" as a metaphor for the separation between the Jewish community where he grew up and other ethnic groups in the Piedmont region; he used "mercury", an unstable and volatile gas, to refer to the Italian intellectuals who followed Hitler at the time; and the element "zinc", which is "inert and requires impurities to carry out chemical reactions", effectively satirized Hitler's absurd statement that "Jews are an impurity that must be removed". The stories of "cerium", "vanadium" and "gold" vaguely restore the painful memory of the author's experience as a "chemical engineer" in Auschwitz; and Levi's views on life are also fully revealed in the last chapter "Carbon". The author uses a super-historical perspective to restore the transmission and circulation of a carbon atom among all things in the world and the human body. Every reader is forced to face the same thinking as Levi: Since life is the accident and reorganization of matter, then must life be nothingness?
