Confessions of a humorist

Maggie's gift: In order to give her husband a platinum bracelet as a Christmas present, her wife sold a head of hair. For the same purpose, the husband sold his ancestral gold watch and bought his wife a set of hair combs. Although the other party's gift has lost its use value, the feelings gained from it are priceless.

Maggie's gift, dedication of love, rented house with furniture and gyro of life are unforgettable love hymns. "The Last Ivy Leaf" and "The Turn of the Neck" praise touching sincere friendship and kind humanity; "The Police and Hymns" wrote that a tramp tried to avoid going to prison to avoid suffering from the cold and hunger in winter, but failed several times. When he stood in front of the church, listening to the hymn and determined to cheer up and get serious, he was framed and imprisoned. The ending of the story makes people feel ridiculous. Waiting for the bus shows the vanity of city staff; "The Romance of Busy Brokers" and "The Road We Choose" attack mercenary brokers and intrigues; God of Wealth and Love of God satirize money worship and capitalists who hold the idea that money makes the mare go. "Twenty Years Later" shows the behavior of the police in enforcing the law impartially and without favoritism. Turn over a new leaf and confessions of a humorist try to explore complex human nature.

O Henry's short stories reveal the social evil that money is omnipotent and mercenary, describe the hardships of the "little people" at the bottom of society, praise their human beauty, and reflect the writer's strong yearning and pursuit for healthy humanity and healthy society, thus reviving the people's spirit and curing the chronic social diseases. The "upper class" and "proud people" were mercilessly exposed and whipped because of their extortion and greed. The author chooses expressive life scenes from the side of social life, and expresses the style of his time with whimsy and teasing style.
