A country conceived in a 16th-century novel, whose author lived during the Rose War, Although he did not participate in the war, he was at the center of religious reform, political power transfer, and the conflict between nobles and civilians. While his good friend Erasmus was busy making suggestions for the monarch and trying to perfect the monarchy of the Christian monarch, Moore had begun to question the tyrant rule of Henry VIII. Therefore, his writing purpose had changed from the traditional humanist monarchy design to the design of the People's Republic. Those concepts that seem absurd and unacceptable today actually have real realistic concerns. Torture, class differences, and official encounters are all experienced by Moore as "inside the system."

Then There is Nineteen Eighty-four, when Totalitarianism starts.

Historically, scholars have discussed the social system expressed in utopian and dystopian novels, and different people may have very different feelings about reading such novels. The society shown in the book is mapped into reality by the readers. Under different systems, the development of economy, science, medicine, and public health will be completely different. In reality, each country has its own opinions and it is hard to judge the superiority.

Present, during this severe COVID-19 epidemic, Countries around the world adopted different methods to deal with the epidemic. Does the result reflect whose system is better?
