The novel describes the emotional entanglement between the coachman Ding Erhe and the singing queen Yuerong. The plot is twists and turns and exciting. It explores human nature deeply and thoroughly. The psychological portrayal of the hero and heroine is particularly delicate. It should be particularly pointed out that "Deep Night" was originally the title of a piece of "Yu Ji Dance" in the opera "Farewell My Concubine". Zhang Henshui ingeniously integrated this erhu music throughout the novel, becoming a link between the joys and sorrows of the hero and heroine and a clue to the development of the plot. Not only do most of the scenes in the novel take place in the deep night, but the tone of the novel is dark, cold and desolate. The "deep night" symbolizes the tragic fate of Ding Erhe and Wang Yuerong, revealing the cold darkness of society. In terms of the novel's ingenious conception, complete structure and rich characterization, "Deep Night" is superior to "The Cause of Laughter".

Directed by Tom Ford, starring Colin Firth, the original novel of the movie "A Single Man"; the twenty-four hours after a single man loses his beloved; a farewell letter to a profound love, a different minority declaration. "A Single Man" is the masterpiece of the famous British-American novelist Christopher Isherwood. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 2009 and won multiple international awards. The novel describes in detail the life of a single man who has lost his beloved in Los Angeles in 1962. The male protagonist George is a university professor. On the one hand, he is immersed in the pain of losing his lover. On the other hand, he scans the surroundings with a gaze as cold as a camera, pretending that everything is normal, going to work, teaching, attending banquets, visiting patients, and chatting up like a zombie. He plays the role of a decent "normal person", but there is already a turmoil in his heart. Isherwood uses a restrained yet playful writing style to outline the conservative, hypocritical, and suffocating atmosphere of American society in the early 1960s. He writes about people's suppressed emotions due to solidified social roles, the rupture between the inner and the outer world, especially the inner world of marginalized groups who are not accepted by society.
