Who can recommend some good books?

This is a novel that shows the contemporary urban and rural social life in China in a panoramic way. This book has three parts. In the past ten years, the author has created many images of ordinary people from all walks of life through complex contradictions and entanglements. Labor and love, frustration and pursuit, pain and joy, daily life and huge social conflicts are intertwined, which profoundly shows the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have gone through in the historical process of the great era. In addition to Henan people, villagers from poor counties in the loess plateau in the north and the plain in the south are also an important part of Tongcheng. Since the coal industry came into being, it has become Alaska in the west of China, attracting countless people looking for a way out. In this "United Nations" with various accents, because there are the most people in Henan, the public communication language is generally Henan dialect. People living in Tongcheng can speak a few words of Henan dialect and hum a few words of Henan opera. The city is surrounded by mountains. There are many rocks and thin soil on the mountain, which is not suitable for farming. The agricultural population is far less dense than the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, let alone the crowded central plain. Because there are few farmers and there is no shortage of fuel here, dense firewood and even some treetops grow on these hilly areas, which are more beautiful than other places on the Loess Plateau. Whenever autumn comes, some mountains are full of red leaves and flowers ... between the ridge and the headland, holes are formed due to excessive excavation of the stratum depth, and the surface sometimes sinks. Shocking large cracks often tear several ridges, and even large roof caving leads to the collapse and collapse of the whole mountain, triggering an earthquake with a magnitude of about Richter scale. One or two hundred miles north of the mountain is the Yellow River, which breathlessly flows eastward with thousands of tons of sediment ... The city can only build one main street in this narrow ravine. Along this winding street, along both sides of the railway, along the Qishui River, which usually has a small flow, rows of shops and buildings are stacked on top of each other, as dense as beehives and ant nests, stretching for ten miles from south to north. The railway station is located in the city center. A rectangular waiting room is painted yellow, which looks magnificent in this dusty city. Apart from the military-civilian airport in the southern suburbs, the square with a small railway station is probably the most open place in the city. The train goes south from here, crosses the green central plain, and reaches the provincial capital in five or six hours. In the west, east and north, there are highways extending to neighboring provinces. This railway station has two express trains from the provincial capital every morning and afternoon, and the rest are trucks carrying coal. The last section of the branch line of Longhai Railway did not end at this station. This steel ladder forks here again, climbing all the way through the hole and stringing together more than 20 mining areas on the east and west sides. When outsiders mention copper city, they all know that it is a place where coal is produced, so imagine that this city is probably full of coal. In fact, there are only one or two small coal mines on the edge of Tongcheng, and the rest of the large mines are in the ravines on both sides of the east and west. When you turn into these gullies along the railway branch line, you will know what a huge world it is. These coal mines, which are only ten miles apart, have tens of thousands of workers in each mining area, plus their families, which almost exceeds the size of a mountainous county. Dense population, dense houses, towering derricks, rumbling machines and noisy sounds are unbelievable. How can these small canyons and bays bear such a big load?

"The writer's labor is not only to please the contemporary, but more importantly to give a profound explanation to history." This is a meaningful remark made by writer Lu Yao when reviewing the creation process of Ordinary World. "Ordinary World" reached the top of the third Mao Dun Literature Award and was nominated for the first National Book Award. This is the only novel that won this honor. As the editor in charge of the book Ordinary World, Li Jinyu was still crying about something when I asked her to tell me about the publishing process of this book. /kloc-in the spring of 0/986, Li Jinyu, who was assigned to the publishing house for more than two years after graduation, went to Xi 'an to solicit contributions. The primary goal that the publishing house paid her attention to was Jia Pingwa's impetuous creation. But Jia Pingwa's manuscript was taken away by another publishing house, so she went to Lu Yao, who was writing the first part of Ordinary World (then called The Road of Ordinary People). She made a draft for Lu Yao, but Lu Yao didn't make a clear statement. In order to edit Lu Yao's manuscript, she went to Xi again in May and stayed there for more than a month. In mid-June, she finally returned to Beijing with more than 300,000 words of manuscript. However, when she returned to the publishing house for the manuscript assembled by Lu Yao, some leaders thought that she had "lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds". At that time, although Lu Yao's thrilling scenes and life won the first and second national excellent novella awards successively, and his life also aroused strong repercussions in the literary world and society, compared with Jia Pingwa, who was in full swing, Lu Yao's name was obviously not a golden signboard. In fact, it is mainly because some people in the society are not confident that Lu Yao can complete this three-part six-volume novel with nearly one million words. Because although Lu Yao wrote such an influential novella as "thrilling scene" and "life", he had never written a novel before. At that time, there was a conclusion that "life" was the height that Lu Yao could not surpass. Lu Yao adopted the form of three books, one written and the other published. The publishing house is also worried that Lu Yao's novel will become weaker and weaker like some novels. In addition, Lu Yao's "dirty" creative technique also makes the publishing house lack confidence in Lu Yao. Lu Yao still used the realistic technique of "life" to construct his representative works, but at that time, some critics thought realism was an outdated expression technique, and Lu Yao used this writing technique again, giving the impression that he was opinionated and ignorant of current affairs. It is for this reason that before Li Jinyu, a famous publishing house and an authoritative publication had rejected this work. At that time, Li Jinyu really felt a lot of ideological pressure, and she could understand the concerns of the publishing house. But this did not shake her determination, because when she got the first copy of Ordinary World from Lu Yao, she was deeply shocked by the magnificent spirit and profound connotation of the work. She thinks this is the spirit and style of Lu Yao, and it is a rare "big hand". Moreover, through more than a month of communication and observation, Lu Yao's solid preparation for creation and careful conception of the structure of the book have strengthened her confidence.

The first book Ordinary World was published in 1986 and broadcast in china national radio 1988. Subsequently, it was replayed by radio stations in more than ten provinces and cities such as Zhejiang, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, causing a sensation. Radio stations, publishing houses and authors have received nearly ten thousand letters from listeners and readers. A high school student in Gansu said that his family lives in the countryside, 8 miles away from the school. After the launch of Ordinary World, he was deeply attracted. In order to listen to the book completely, he runs home after school every day, rushes in the door, turns on the radio, and then calms down and eats while listening. Four months later, his long-distance running performance was among the best in the school sports meeting. A student of the Armed Police College in Langfang, Hebei said: They are a group of 270 people who live in a four-story building and have about 100 radios. The radio is turned on at noon 12: 30 to listen to Ordinary World. An editor who once threw the manuscript aside after reading only one third also lamented in the comments. Lu Yao was unmoved by fashion, insisted on the realistic creative road and climbed the artistic peak again. History and readers finally gave this book real vitality.

brief Introduction of the content

A Muslim family, the rise and fall of 60 years, the ups and downs of three generations' fate, two love tragedies that happened in different times and had different contents but were intertwined.

Liang Yiqing, the owner of Qizhenzhai, an old jade shop in the ancient capital of Beijing, was originally a jade carving artist of the lower Hui nationality. There are two daughters in his family. The eldest daughter, Jun Bi, is good at calculation, and the second daughter, Kethleen, is petite and willful. One day, an elder took a teenager on a pilgrimage to Mecca and passed by Liang's home. The teenager was attracted by the exquisite jade and decided to stay as an apprentice. This is the protagonist of this book, Han. Master and apprentice are making an order, which is the "Zheng He Sailing Boat" customized by Huiyuan Zhai and sold to foreigners. Zheng He is a hero of the Hui nationality. They are determined to do a good job in this work that shines the national spirit. Three years of meticulous carving will be completed in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, Liang Yiqing suddenly fainted on the rotating jade pier, and the treasure ship was destroyed. In order to pay off debts, Zi-Han Qi became an apprentice in Hui Yuanzhai, and after three years of hard work, he became an expert. He returned to Qizhen Zhai and married his eldest daughter Junbi, determined to revive his family business. Ten years later, he became famous in Beijing. His son was named Tianxing and lived happily. However, when the Japanese invasion of China broke out, Han Qi, worried that jade treasures would be destroyed, came to London with British businessman Hunter. His wife and sister Kethleen sneaked out of the house and insisted on traveling with her brother-in-law, regardless of her sister's objection. In London, Kethleen fell in love with Hunter's son Oliver, but Oliver was unfortunately killed in the London bombing. Tze-qi Han and Liang lived together overseas for ten years, and finally they got married and gave birth to their daughter, Crescent Moon. Returning home together after the war, my sister took Xinyue as her daughter, and Kethleen ran away from home. Xinyue grew up gradually and was admitted to the Department of Western Languages in Peking University with excellent results. After school, I fell in love with the head teacher Chu Yanchao. Because Chu was a Han nationality and was opposed by the Liang family, their love became more and more fierce in the obstruction. Unfortunately, however, this beautiful woman died of a serious heart attack. Chu Yanchao was heartbroken.

With a unique perspective, sincere feelings, rich capacity, profound connotation and cold writing, this novel of more than 500,000 words macroscopically reviews the long and difficult footprints of Muslims in China, reveals their unique psychological structure in the collision and integration of China culture and Muslim culture, and their confusion and pursuit of the true meaning of life in the political and religious atmosphere, and shapes Liang Yiqing, Han Ziqi, Liang Junbi, Liang,. The work is subtle and touching the reader's heart with delicate brushwork, and the end of the song is shrouded, agitated and lingering.

3. Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Forest

This should of course be regarded as Haruki Murakami's masterpiece. Many people know about this Japanese from this book. The book takes memories as a clue to express the loneliness and confusion of teenagers facing adolescence and the helplessness and boredom of growing up. For the first time, Murakami clearly emphasized the theme he repeatedly emphasized in his later works: through the survival pain that young people can't get rid of under social pressure, they show their sadness and powerlessness towards life.

This is a sad, painful and 100% love novel. Watanabe, the hero of the novel, begins his love entanglement with two girls. Watanabe's first love Naoko was originally the girlfriend of his high school friend Muyue, and later Muyue committed suicide. A year later, Watanabe and Naoko met unexpectedly and started dating. At this time, Naoko has become demure and shy, and a shadow that is difficult to capture passes through the beautiful crystal eyes from time to time. They just walk aimlessly in the streets of Tokyo, falling leaves day after day, either before or after, or side by side. On the night of Naoko's 20th birthday, they had sex, but Naoko disappeared the next day. A few months later, Naoko wrote that she lived in a mental hospital in the distant mountains. When Watanabe visited, he found that Naoko began to have the fullness and beauty of a mature woman. Although they shared the same room at night, Watanabe restrained himself and said that he would wait for Naoko forever before breaking up. Shortly after returning to school, Watanabe began to associate with junior Qing Zi because of an accidental meeting. Yoko is just the opposite of Naoko. "It's like a deer jumping into the world in the morning light of spring." . During this period, Watanabe was very depressed and confused. On the one hand, I can't forget Naoko's lingering pain and tenderness, on the other hand, I can't resist Naoko's bold confession and charming vitality. Soon came the bad news of Naoko's suicide, and Watanabe went hiking without soul. Finally, encouraged by Naoko's roommate Reiko Kobayakawa, she began to explore her future life.

Personally, I think the content is more complicated. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to get confused.

Excerpt:

Qing Zi on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, as if all the Mao Mao rain in the world had fallen on all the lawns in the world. This time, I kept my eyes closed and put my forehead on the phone booth glass. For a long time, Glinko said in a calm voice:

"Where are you now?"

Where am I now?

I raised my face with the receiver and quickly looked around the telephone booth. Where am I now? I don't know where this is, and I'm completely at a loss. Where the hell is this? Looking around, countless men and women don't know where to go. In a place where I am not, I call for green children again and again.

4. The Count of Monte Cristo Author: Dumas

1865438+At the end of February, 2005, Edmond Dantès, the young acting captain of the Egyptian ocean-going freighter King, returned to Marseille. The old captain died of illness on the way. Once, he asked Dundees to sail to an island and go to the prison to meet Napoleon. Napoleon entrusted a secret letter to Duncan's cronies in Paris. Dundees' return to China this time can be said to be a spring breeze: he is going to marry his girlfriend who has been in love for many years and then go to Paris together.

But he didn't expect that a bad luck was waiting for him. Dunglas, as an escort on a cargo ship, is bent on replacing Dundees as captain, but his opponent vernan hates his guts. As a result, two people colluded together, and Vernon sent Duncan Lars's tip-off to the authorities.

In May, just as Dundees was getting married, he was arrested. Acting prosecutor Villefort heard the case. He found that the recipient of the secret letter was his father. In order to ensure his future, he condemned Dundees as an extremely dangerous political prisoner and put him on death row on an isolated island.

Stills from the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

Dundees spent 14 years on death row. At first, he was convinced of his innocence and always thought that one day the prosecutor would stand up and declare him innocent in front of him. However, with the passage of time, he was disappointed and even had the idea of suicide. Only the thought of his fiancee sustains him to live.

One day, he suddenly heard someone digging nearby. It turned out that the old priest in the cell next door was digging a tunnel, but because of a calculation error, the exit of the tunnel was in Dundees' cell. After the two met, the old priest helped him analyze his own experience, and Dundees began to realize who was the enemy who framed him.

Under the guidance of the priest, Dundees also learned several languages and learned a secret: there is a huge treasure buried on an island called Monte Cristo. One day, the old priest died of illness. Dundees had a brainwave and got into the bag containing the priest's body. As a result, the jailer threw him into the sea as a priest. Dundees cut the bag with a knife and swam to a nearby island. The next day, a smuggling ship saved him, and he soon became friends with the crew.

He took the opportunity of wandering around and found a treasure on the island of Monte Cristo: a big cabinet was divided into three parts, which contained ancient gold coins, bullion, diamonds, pearls and precious stones respectively. Dundees became a billionaire. He has only one goal now, and that is revenge. To this end, he will return to society and regain his position, power and prestige. In this world, only money can make people get all this, and money is the most effective and greatest power to dominate mankind. At this time, Dundees was already a newcomer: knowledgeable, elegant, with countless wealth, foresight and hatred.

Before taking revenge, Dundees decided to repay the favor first. The master of the king of Egypt is a loyal, brave and enthusiastic man. He ran around when Dundees was in trouble, taking care of Dundees' old father. Later, he went bankrupt, and in despair, he was ready to commit suicide. When Dundees found out, he paid off his debts, gave his daughter a generous dowry and gave him a new king of Egypt.

Then Dundees said, "I have repaid good people on behalf of heaven." Now the god of vengeance has given me the power to punish the wicked! "After repaying those who gave him selfless help when he was in danger, Dundees began to prepare his own revenge plan step by step.

Through many inquiries, he confirmed the details that Dunglas, Vernon and Villefort framed themselves, and learned that his fiancee had married Vernon, and his old father died of depression due to illness, and his hatred became stronger and stronger, but he still had to prepare for revenge!

Eight years later, Dundees returned to Paris. He is a banker under the pseudonym of Count Kido Mounting. At this time, Villefort was the prosecutor of the Paris court, Dunglas became a banker, and Fernand became an earl and a member of parliament. All three are successful in my official career and have prominent positions.

The count of Monte Cristo's goal is Fernand first. In order to seek all the self-interests, Vernon can be said to be doing everything he can. At this time, he changed his name and surname and lived a pampered life. The count of Monte Cristo has already found out his history, and now he disclose in that newspaper the fact that Fernand betrayed and kil the Greek governor Ali in the name of others in the 1920s, which aroused the doubts of the parliamentarian.

At the hearing, the daughter of Governor Ali, who was adopted by the Count of Monte Cristo, testified, exposing the crime that Fernand not only gave the castle to the Turks, but also killed his benefactor and sold his wife and daughter as part of the spoils for 400,000 francs. The examination committee found vernon guilty of treason and atrocity persecution, which made vernon lose his reputation and face.

Vernon had hoped that his son would fight the Count of Monte Cristo to avenge himself, but his wife (Dante's fiancee) had long recognized that the Count of Monte Cristo was Dante, and she told her son the truth. Finally, regardless of his reputation, the son made peace with the Count of Monte Cristo and decided to abandon the blood-stained property with his mother and leave without saying goodbye.

In desperation, Fernand had to go to the Count of Monte Cristo for a duel. During the duel, the Count of Monte Cristo sarcastically said in a very cold tone, "Aren't you the little soldier Fernand who deserted on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo?" Aren't you the lieutenant Fernand who was a French guide and spy in Spain? Aren't you Lieutenant General Vernon who betrayed, betrayed and murdered his benefactor? And these Fernand add up, isn't it that you are a French aristocrat now? "Finally, the count of Monte Cristo revealed his true identity.

Fernando returned home without soul, just like his wife and son ran away from home-one went to the countryside to live in seclusion and the other went to join the army. Extreme fear and despair made him shoot himself.

The count of Monte Cristo's second enemy is a dunghill. Dunglas made a fortune by supplying munitions when the French army invaded Spain, and his bank can now control the assets of millions of francs. In order to gain the trust of Dunglas, the Count of Monte Cristo took out three letters from big European bankers and opened three accounts with Duncan Lars, which persuaded Dunglas. Later, he bribed the employees of the telegraph office and sent a telegram that lied about the military situation, which induced Dunglas to sell the bonds and damaged a huge sum of money.

The Count of Monte Cristo disguised himself as the son of an Italian prince and the illegitimate son of a fugitive, Villefort and Madame Dunglas, and introduced him to Dunglas. In order to avoid bank failure, Dunglas married her daughter to the "son of the prince". At the wedding, the military police arrested the escaped prisoner and made Dunglas look like a fool. In desperation, Dunglas stole 5 million francs from a poor institution and fled to Italy. On the way, he fell into the hands of the robber friend of the count of Monte Cristo.

They starved him to death first, and then sold him a meal at a high price of 65438+ million francs until all his 5 million francs were drained. Dunglas was forced to repent for his crimes. At this moment, the count of Monte Cristo appeared, identified himself to him and said, "I am the one you betrayed and slandered. My fiancee was forced to remarry and my father starved to death because of you. I should let you starve to death, but I forgive you. " Dunglas let out a cry and fell to the ground huddled up. Subsequently, the Count of Monte Cristo gave him 50,000 francs to make a living. Dunglas was so tortured and frightened that his hair turned white.

The count of Monte Cristo's greatest enemy is Villefort, and he decided to completely destroy everything in Villefort by even more cruel means. He first bought an old house in Villefort, who had tried to bury his illegitimate child with Mrs. Dunglas in cold blood. Then he cleverly led them here and pointed out the scandal between them. As a result, Madame Dunglas fainted on the spot, and Villefort had to breathe against the wall. After a contest, Villefort doubted the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo. He asked two close friends of the Count of Monte Cristo, but both of them were played by the Count of Monte Cristo alone. Naturally, he got nothing.

At this time, the count of Monte Cristo noticed a flaw in Villefort's family: Villefort's stepwife tried to let her children inherit the inheritance alone. So he pretended to inadvertently reveal a poison formula to her. She used this poison to poison Villefort's former mother-in-law and old servant, and plotted to poison his ex-wife's children. Because of the previous karma, the count of Monte Cristo secretly protected the latter and let her secretly observe the process of stepmother's poisoning. Finally, the count of Monte Cristo sent the child to the island of Monte Cristo.

In the murder trial of the fugitive who almost became Dunglas's son-in-law, the prosecutor was Villefort. At the order of the Count of Monte Cristo, the escaped prisoner told his life in public. Knowing that he fell into the hands of the god of revenge, Villefort was forced to admit that "there is no evidence, what this young man said is true ... from now on, I am at the mercy of the next prosecutor." At this time, Villefort's face was as pale as a dead man, and his teeth chattered like a man with a cold and a fever.

He went home in a panic, trying to find a safe haven here, only to find that his wife had died of poison and poisoned her beloved son. Under the great blow, Villefort went crazy.

The count of Monte Cristo has avenged himself, and he is deeply grateful to God. In his view, everything he did was in line with God's will. He said, "Now my work is finished and my mission is over. Paris, farewell! " So Governor Ali's adopted daughter Heidi flew away.

5. Godfather Author: mario puzo

The Godfather is a masterpiece of modern American novels. Since the publication of 1969, it has distributed more than 20 million copies worldwide, making it a well-deserved super best seller.

Pu Zuo's ancestors were Italian immigrants. He was born and raised in New York State. He participated in World War II and was demobilized. ......

The Godfather is a masterpiece of modern American novels. Since the publication of 1969, it has distributed more than 20 million copies worldwide, making it a well-deserved super best seller. The story of the ups and downs of the mafia family makes fans want to stop, and they have been looking forward to the sequel. However, perhaps the original work was so famous that mario puzo didn't write until his death, because he was afraid that the dog would end up as a mink when he went to the front again.

1945 In the summer, Vito Don Corleone, the leader of the Corleone mafia family, held a grand wedding for his little daughter Connie. The godfather has three sons: Sonny, the horny eldest son, Fred, the cowardly second son, and Mike, the youngest son who just returned from World War II. Among them, Sunny is the godfather's right-hand man; Although Mike is smart and capable, he is not interested in his family's career.

The "godfather" is the leader of the mafia and often engages in illegal activities. But at the same time, he is also the patron saint of many weak civilians and is deeply loved by people. He also has a rule that drug trafficking will never harm people. Therefore, it rejected the request of Suluozuo, a drug Lord, and intensified the contradiction with several other mafia families in new york. On Christmas Eve, Suluozuo kidnapped Tom, the godfather's eldest son-in-law, and sent someone to assassinate him.

Godfather was shot and admitted to hospital. Sollozzo asked Tom to try to get Sonny to agree to the drug deal and renegotiate. Sonny is brave and reckless. He vowed revenge, but there was nothing he could do. Mike went to the hospital to visit his father. He found that the bodyguard had been bought, and the police were in cahoots with Sollozzo. The contradiction between the two families is explosive. Mike came up with a plan to lure Sollozzo to negotiate with the sheriff. In a small restaurant, Mike killed Sollozzo and the sheriff with a pistol hidden in the toilet beforehand.

Mike fled to Sicily, where he married the beautiful Apollonia and lived an idyllic life. At this point, the vendetta between new york's black-handed families intensified. Sonny was betrayed by Connie's husband, Carol, and was badly beaten. "Godfather" came back from injury and arranged family reconciliation. Mike who heard the bad news was also attacked. Febino, the hired bodyguard, put a bomb in Mike's car. Although Mike survived, he lost his beloved wife. Mike returned to new york on 195 1 and married his ex-girlfriend Kay.

The old godfather passed on the position of family leader to Mike. After the "godfather" died, Mike began a long-simmering revenge. He sent people to assassinate the leaders of two other rival families and personally killed fabrizio, who killed his ex-wife. At the same time, he ordered someone to kill Carlo and avenge Sonny. All the enemies were cut off. Connie rushed into the house because her husband was killed and tore at Mike crazily. Mike coldly ordered Connie to be sent to the madhouse. He has become a new generation of "godfather"-Don Colijn.

6. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye is Salinger's only novel. Although it is only a few hundred thousand words, it has had a great influence on American society and literature. At 195 1, the novel immediately caused a sensation. The hero's experience and thoughts aroused strong repercussions among teenagers and were warmly welcomed by readers, especially college students and middle school students. They all imitate the clothes of the protagonist Holden and speak "Holden-style" language, because this novel tells their hearts and reflects their ideals, anguish and wishes. After more than 30 years' test, it has been proved to be one of the "modern classic novels" in contemporary American literature. At present, most middle schools and universities list it as a must-read after class. As some critics have said, it has "almost greatly influenced several generations of American youth".

In this book, holden, the hero, tells about his experiences and spiritual feelings of wandering in new york for nearly two days and two nights after he was expelled from school. It not only vividly and meticulously depicts the depressed, confused, lonely and cynical spiritual world of a middle-class child who is uneasy about the status quo, but also criticizes the hypocrisy and affectation of adult society. Holden is a typical teenager with complex and contradictory personality. He has a pure and kind heart and pursues a better life and lofty ideals. He hates those who are keen to talk about women and wine, and hates the hypocrisy and snobbery of the principal. When he saw the dirty words on the wall, he erased them angrily, and the nuns raised money for the victims, and he also gave generously. He sincerely loves and takes care of his sister Fei Xin. In order to protect the child from falling off the cliff, he is also eager to be a "catcher in the rye" all his life and make a sound like "save the child". However, the negative resistance brought by cynical thoughts and the adolescent psychology of sensitivity, curiosity, anxiety, uneasiness, venting and impulsiveness made him refuse to study, pursue excitement and be cynical; He smokes, drinks, fights, flirts and even plays with prostitutes. He thinks that teachers and parents want him to learn and progress just to "get ahead" ... so that he can buy a fucking Cadillac in the future. He thinks that no one in adult society can be trusted, and they are all "hypocrites". Even the only teacher he admired later discovered that he might be gay and taught him that the sign of an immature man is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is willing to live humbly for a certain cause. He doesn't like secular human feelings in real society. What he longed for was simplicity and sincerity, but all he met was hypocrisy and deception, and he was unable to change this situation, so he had to be depressed, hesitant and indulgent, and finally even wanted to escape from this real world and pretend to be a deaf-mute in the hinterland. After World War II, under the pressure of social alienation, political pressure and conservative culture, the United States formed a "silent decade", and the first to rise up against it was the "Beat Generation". Holden, the hero of this book, is actually a "beat-up" and the earliest "anti-hero", but he hasn't sunk to their level and is confused to their level.

The Catcher in the Rye has such a great influence because the author has created a novel artistic style. Through the first person, the book narrates what he thinks, sees, hears and does in the tone of a teenager, and also criticizes the hypocrisy and deception of the adult world from the perspective of a teenager.

7. Fifteen Years of Wanli by Huang Renyu

The fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, namely 1587, was originally an extremely ordinary year in the history of China. The author put the historical events around this year and lived at that time.
