In the context of a linear time, Fan Xiaoqing opens two worlds with moderate intensity: one is philosophy and the other is reality. The theme of the minimalist story: I lost my brother, and I went to find him again. In the narrative of the story, the mentally retarded younger brother is like a tornado, sucking all the characters into it. The rich and complex plot, the repetitive entanglements, and the endless interrogations of delirium make the story's confusing path feel salty and mild. The unique way of starting with the light of fireflies and ending with ruins and ashes shows the writer's outstanding artistic skills.

In recent years, "Xiao Hong and Lu Xun" has become an ambiguous and meaningful topic. We talked about it for a while around the 70th anniversary of Mr. Lu Xun's death in 2006; now, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Xiao Hong's birth, this topic has become lively again. Regardless of the print media or the Internet, people continue to write frivolous articles asking "What is the relationship between Lu Xun and Xiao Hong?" Most of the commentators are based on the level of the relationship between men and women, either based on assumptions, imagination, or intuition, and the result of their efforts is to conclude that there must be a love affair between Xiao Hong and Lu Xun, two modern writers of different generations.

The introduction to Tang Nuo's mystery novels has now become a whispered legend among some mystery fans, almost like a rare bird specimen, or a top-notch cellared wine of a certain vintage, or something like a fantasy. The text jumps gracefully like a samba step between classical humanistic education, city maps, poetic appreciation pedigrees, and a huge maze-like modern crime scene where "all deaths shuttle between incomparable magnificence and incomparable danger and cruelty." Bullock's characters like Matthew Scudder, a private detective, and Bernie Rodenbart, a natural-born thief, who are like his best friends, use their cold and sarcastic human images to face the injustice of modern cities that have lost sympathy and understanding. "A lonely man fights against a huge world of injustice."

Mr. Chen Xiaoming, the editor-in-chief of "Mo Yan Studies (2004-2012)", is a leading figure in the study of Western literary theory, especially modernist literature, in my country. He is at the commanding heights of academics and has a high position to select the most in-depth research results at home and abroad in one volume, showing the solid power and brilliance of Mo Yan's works. As he said frankly in the "Preface": "The selection of articles in "A Study of Mo Yan (2004-2012)" starts in 2004, and the lower limit ends when Mo Yan wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. After winning the award, the critical evaluation of Mo Yan will be different, and the lower limit of "A Study of Mo Yan (2004-2012)" is precisely to avoid intentional or unintentional hindsight."

Stendhal's classic drama course, interpretation of Shakespeare's plays and Racine's tragedies. Understanding Racine and Shakespeare is the cornerstone of understanding European literature. Wang Daoqian's classic translation is highly praised by Wang Xiaobo and has been published again after being out of print for many years. "Racine and Shakespeare" is a collection of two pamphlets published in 1823 and 1825 on the polemic against academic classicism. It is an important theoretical work of Stendhal and one of the French realist documents. As representatives of romanticism and classicism respectively, Shakespeare and Racine symbolized the opposition between the aesthetic views of the rising bourgeoisie and the old art of the feudal aristocracy in the rising period. What Stendhal proposed in this work was the artistic principle of realism, which paved the way for the development of realist literature in France in the nineteenth century. This book also includes Stendhal's "A Traveler's Notes" (selected), the introduction to "History of Italian Painting", the preface to "Armans", and the preface to Stendhal's unfinished novel "Lucien Levan", etc.

Ancient Chinese classic poetry is not only the essence of China's excellent traditional culture and literary and artistic masterpieces, but also the artistic crystallization of the wisdom created by people of all ethnic groups in China in the process of life practice, emotional exchange, and ideological expression.

Learning, inheriting, and promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture are the historical responsibilities and missions entrusted to us by the times. Reading and appreciating these poems are important ways of cultural inheritance, literary aesthetics, law analysis, quality cultivation, including the cultivation of innovative abilities. Bai Juyi's "Nine Books of the Yuan Dynasty" says: "A poet has roots, emotions, Miao language, Hua Sheng, and real meaning." Writers use various creative elements and different artistic expression techniques to create works with different styles and profound connotations. Ancient Chinese classic poetry embodies distinct characteristics of the Chinese nation in terms of temperament, language, form, connotation, imagery, artistic conception and realm.

Mr. Okuno talked from "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" to "Water Margin" and "Red Mansions", from the prose of the Six Dynasties to poetry and drama, from the legends of the Tang Dynasty to the chapters of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, from "Journey to the West" to "The Plum in the Golden Vase", from Wang Zhaojun to the White Snake, from Wang Yanhong to Lin Yutang...

"The Birth of the Gangster World" is a critical study of Jin Yong's works, and it is also an in-depth interpretation of Chinese traditional culture. "The Birth of the Rogue World" summarizes the world of Jin Yong's works into four worlds: through the world of official history, the world of unofficial history; through the world of unofficial history, the world of Buddhism and Zen; and through the first three worlds, the world of rogues. The book "The Birth of the Gangster World" believes that "The Deer and the Cauldron" and its protagonist Wei Xiaobao are Jin Yong's major contributions to Chinese culture in his reflection and creation. It profoundly reveals the inevitable trend of Chinese traditional culture. "The Birth of the Rogue World" also puts forward some other concepts, such as "Jianghu Utopia", "Grudge\u002F Killing Mode", etc., Which well supports the logical rigor between the four worlds.

This work includes film reviews, music reviews, current reviews and book reviews. I hope that the "Ten Life Reviews" I wrote can be regarded as a practice of cultural studies. Matthew Guo's "History of Western Literary Theory" introduces the origin of "cultural studies" and analyzes the cultural background of "cultural studies" and points out: "At that time, the British elitist culture and literary criticism tradition (represented by Leavisism) was impacted by the new popular culture, and a new stance was needed to look at the elitism that had been excluded in the past. Popular culture phenomenon, pay attention to the power contained in popular culture, and analyze its complex structure and ecology." In fact, Leavis himself said from his elitist stance that "serious interest in literature should not be limited to the careful observation of the small relationships of 'words on paper', but should also include interest in people, society, and civilization."
