The 1950 film "Rashomon" directed by Akira Kurosawa was based on the short story "In the Bamboo Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. In this novel, there is no so-called truth, only the use of one's own narrative to deconstruct the narratives of others, dominated by egoism. It is this darkness that obscures the truth of the murder and constitutes the fog of "In the Bamboo Forest". "Rashomon (Chinese-Japanese Bilingual)" selects and translates two works by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Grove" that are widely known to readers. The short story "Rashomon" with the same name as the movie is based on the 23rd chapter of Volume 29 of the Japanese Buddhist story collection "The Story of the Past", "A man with a wife traveling in Tamba was bound to the mountains in Ojiang Mountain." "Rashomon" is said to be the door to hell, so the word also has the meaning of "wandering between life and death".

"Mr. President" is a novel written by the famous Guatemalan writer Miguel Ángel Asturias, winner of the 1967 Nobel Prize for Literature. It is one of his most important masterpieces. This book uses Estrada Cabrera, who was in power from 1898 to 1920, as the prototype, using comic exaggeration to create an image of a vulgar, cunning, cruel, and sinister autocratic tyrant. Under his clutches, the entire country was shrouded in an atmosphere of ignorance, poverty, terror, and despair. In many chapters, readers can only identify the ghost-like shadow of the dictator from the words, deeds, psychology and descriptions of other characters' fates. He is invisible, but he is everywhere. He is a god living in everyone's heart. The novel uses this method of focusing on anti-object and combining fiction and reality to cast a layer of mysterious fog on the image of the tyrant. The gloomy and depressing atmosphere carefully designed throughout the book is reminiscent of hell under the rule of the devil. "Mr. President", together with "The Funeral of the Dictator" by Usral Petrie, "The Decline of the Patriarch" by García Márquez, and "The Tyrant Banderas" by José Luis García Sánchez, are collectively known as "the four major anti-authoritarian novels in Latin America".

"I" is an ordinary person in Fengliang Town. From childhood to adulthood, "I" has met many different kinds of people, and almost every one of these people has left a precious impression in "me"'s heart. "Love", "marriage", "family" and "interpersonal relationships" all require people to constantly tinker with in their lives. The characters appearing in the novel are purely fictitious, and the brands appearing are all required by the plot. When writing this novel, the author wanted to write about those people living in hardship at the bottom of society. They are ordinary, but extraordinary; they are trivial, but complete. It is precisely because of the existence of people like them that life feels so unsightly.
