The Jazz Age in the United States gave birth to "jazz", Liang Wendao explained in detail.

Fitzgerald's creative period was a special period in American history. The First World War was over (1918), the Great Depression (1929) had not yet arrived, traditional Puritan morality had fallen apart, and hedonism was beginning to flourish. In Fitzgerald's own words, "It was an age of wonder, an age of art, an age of spending, and an age of mockery."

Fitzgerald called this era the "Jazz Age" (generally referring to the decade after World War I and before the Great Depression), and he himself became known as the "chronicler" and "poet laureate" of the Jazz Age. As he himself enthusiastically devoted himself to the glamour of this era, he keenly felt the desire for romance in this era, as well as the emptiness and helplessness behind the superficial luxury, and reflected these emotions vividly in his works. In his writings, the subtle emotional entanglements between the young people of the upper class who go out and go to golf courses, country clubs and opulent mansions are a constant theme, and their frustration and melancholy that cannot be dispelled by money are everywhere.

His works often featured themes of youthful longing and idealism, as he believed to be characteristic of Americans; His works often involve the vagaries of feelings and a sense of loss, because this is the fate that people of that era cannot escape.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States, into a merchant family. He became interested in writing in middle school, and during his studies at Princeton University, he also wrote for the school's publications and drama club, and after dropping out of school to join the army in 1917, he began writing long-form novels in the barracks. In 1918, while stationed near Montgomery, Alabama, Fitzgerald fell in love with Zelda Sayre, an 18-year-old southern girl, and developed a stronger desire than ever to succeed in writing.

After being discharged from the army, he continued to write, and finally published his first novel, This Side of Heaven, in 1920.

The publication of "This Side of Heaven" made Fitzgerald, who was not yet 24 years old, a dazzling new star in American literature overnight. A week later, he married Zelda in New York. Fitzgerald and Zelda are young, charming, with money and fame, and an enviable pair of golden boys and girls.

They were active in the social scene of New York, indulging in love, young life, and the joy of success, living a life of singing and squirming, and later living in Europe for many years. However, due to the emphasis on pomp and extravagance, their lives are gradually stretched. Zelda was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for multiple episodes of psychosis, and Fitzgerald also contracted the vice of alcoholism.

On December 21, 1940, Fitzgerald died of a heart attack in Los Angeles at the age of 44.

In his more than two decades career, Fitzgerald published such long stories** as "The Great Gatsby", "The Tenderness of the Night" and "The Last Giant", as well as more than 160 short stories**. The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, was the culmination of Fitzgerald's writing career. This first-class portrayal of unfulfilled desires under the cover of wealth and success, reflects the shattering of the "American Dream" in the 20s, profoundly reveals the contradictions and inner conflicts of the characters' personalities, and also vividly shows Fitzgerald's outstanding talent and writing skills.

The Great Gatsby has been hailed as one of the best American figures of our time, establishing Fitzgerald's place in the history of literature.
