Features: This book fully considers the different reading habits of Japanese and Chinese, with Japanese vertical and Chinese horizontal in layout. The Japanese text is placed above and the Chinese text below, both contrasting yet independent. The font used is also the commonly used font for both Japanese and Chinese, with slight differences in printing colors. To achieve the effect of facing pages, the word spacing and line spacing of the Chinese text on each page are slightly adjusted, with two spaces replacing paragraph breaks and line returns. This maintains the integrity of the Japanese text while preserving the literary and artistic quality of the Chinese text.
Jane Eyre lost her parents at a young age, and her difficult life made her introverted yet strong-willed. While working as a governess at Thornfield Hall, she fell in love with her employer, Rochester. Rochester's eccentric personality and the mysterious nights at Thornfield Hall left Jane bewildered until the truth was revealed at their wedding. It turned out that Rochester was already married to a woman suffering from a hereditary mental illness, who had been locked away in the attic. In despair, Jane left Thornfield Hall, but she still loved Rochester in her heart, and Rochester was also searching for her. After a series of twists and turns, when she returned to Thornfield, it had already been reduced to ruins.
Written in a lyrical and melancholic tone, the novel tells a heart-stirring love story. It was a sensation upon its publication. Many of the characters and plot in this novel were based on experiences and familiarity she had from her own life. Even the story of the mad wife was one she had heard at Miss Wooler's school. The publisher accepted the novel with great excitement, and the reviewer read the manuscript through the night.
The writing of this novel reflects the tragic circumstances of women in England at that time and also reflects their demand to break free from the oppression and discrimination of men. This was a pioneering achievement in English literary history, and it was precisely this reason that the novel caused such a strong reaction in society at the time.
