When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Another aspect could be the idea of theme. The short story can convey a powerful theme in a condensed manner. It might explore universal human experiences like love, loss, or the search for identity.

How did Brander Matthews' 'The Philosophy of the Short Story' influence modern short story writing?
His philosophy might have also affected the choice of themes in modern short stories. Since he talked about the power of condensed themes, modern writers are more likely to pick themes that can be explored deeply in a short span. This leads to stories that are both thought - provoking and accessible, appealing to a wide range of readers.

A short story with a little philosophy, a philosophy of life! Thank you!
An example of a short story with a bit of philosophy and life philosophy was as follows: There was a little rabbit in the forest. It liked to sleep in the tree hole. Every day, it would jump into the tree hole and curl up inside to enjoy the warm sunlight and quiet environment. One day, the little rabbit's mother warned it,"Little rabbit, you should learn to live in the outside world and explore more animals and plants to learn more knowledge." The little rabbit listened to its mother's words and decided to leave the tree hole to explore the outside world. It bounced through the forest and saw many beautiful things. It saw a bird jumping on a branch, a flower swaying in the breeze, and a squirrel climbing on a branch. The little rabbit felt very happy. It felt that it had learned a lot of knowledge. But when the little rabbit was about to return to the tree hole, it got lost. It walked for a long time and finally found a tree, but the tree hole was not as warm as it had imagined. The little rabbit was very depressed. It began to wonder why it had left the tree hole. It remembered its mother's words. Her mother told it that although the outside world was beautiful, it was not the most important thing in life. Finally, the little rabbit returned to the tree hole and found warmth and peace again. It understood that the most important thing in life was to find its own goal and meaning, not to pursue the external world. This short story contains some philosophy of life, telling us not to blindly pursue external beauty, but to find our own inner goals and meaning.

However, as the investigation unfolded, it turned out that her mother was behind the so - called 'abduction'.
