There are generally two types of biographies: one is a description of one's own life, called an autobiography; the other is a description of someone else's life, called a biography. Due to space limitations, biographies generally cannot describe the character's life in detail, but they should also give a general introduction to his (her) life experience, more comprehensively display his (her) main thoughts and character traits, and gain insight into the character's spiritual world.
