This is a collection of works by O. Henry, one of the fathers of the three great novels in the world, and you will be impressed by his biting satire. But after I read this collection of works, I felt the author's trenchiness and merciless performance in exposing the ugly reality of the society. In those Vanity Fairs, people trample their consciences underfoot, intrigues, extortions, intrigues. However, some of them not only reflect the social reality, but also show the downtrodden little people at the bottom of the society. Although they live a difficult life, they still show their sincere love and care for others, and even make precious sacrifices. This is a simple language, humorous, but thought-provoking; The conception is novel, the plot is vivid, and the implication is far-reaching; Through the description of a flesh and blood vivid characters, reflect the deep social reality problems at that time. O 'Henry is particularly adept at using the language of the task, the relationships between characters, and some small things or details in life to create conflict in order to achieve unexpected and thought-provoking effects. Cruel meets malicious, small cheater meets big cheater; Robbers and swindlers are brilliant, but they are no match for wily financiers. What is more tragic is that in the pursuit of money and fame, people's souls are also corrupted. Young girls who are working as cashiers in restaurants are putting on AIRS and pretending to be upper-class ladies. Busy as a top like the broker actually forgot the day before just married, proposed to his wife again; In a world where money talks, the father's god of wealth can create a traffic jam at the most critical moment, so that his son can get the chance to marry him, and love can do nothing about it... O Henry's works are such a stage of human nature, where all kinds of human nature's good, evil, beauty and ugliness can be shown incisively and vividly. But O. Henry's work taught me more than anything else
