But in fact Maugham's philosophy is mainly focused on the meaning of life. Here in this book, through the description of Philip's suppressed emotion for the beauty of life and his untouchable passion for the atonement of his imperfectness, Maugham shows us his own philosophy of life that in this futile world, people are so powerless that we could do nothing in changing our fate. All our struggles are not against our fate, but against ourselves. In his mind, life is futile, meaningless, and when people realize this and accept their status quo, they would reach the source of happiness, but this kind of happiness is not for me. The arguments that I really want to show you is not only the pessimistic and cynical predetermination, but the enthusiasm to fight against our life even if we knew nothing would change.展开更多

Since the reform and opening-up, the Chinese government puts the rights to subsistence and development before any other human rights, which effectively guarantees and accelerates a rapid economic development in China. Nowadays, countries along the Belt and Road have joined a "community of common destiny". Inside the "community of common destiny," countries have enjoyed not only the responsibility, rights and benefit of the right to development, but also a win-win cooperation that ensured the right to development. Therefore, the Belt and Road initiative enriches the UN Declaration on the Right to Development, and "community of common destiny" of countries becomes a higher form of the right to development.展开更多

This Nobel Prize-winning novelist and short story writer is acclaimed throughout the world as one of the 20th century＇s greatest writers. A Rose for Emily （1930） is one of his masterpieces. The story describes how Emily, an old South aristocratic spinster, becomes a crazy devil and her inner world and inner struggle after the American Civil War, when the conflict between the Southern tradition is in great conflict with the Northern industry and change. The present paper, first of all, gives a brief introduction of the story. Then the paper mainly explores the root causes of her eccentric, perverse, aloof, and haughty characters in three different aspects： （1） the cause of her father; （2） the cause of the conflict between the Southern tradition and the new change; and （3） the cause of Southern old convention. The paper concludes that Emily is the victim of the cruelty and brutality of the Southern system展开更多
