The Path to Ultimate Truth: A Philosophical Novel on Human Nature and the Meaning of Life

This is a full-length philosophical novel that revolves around three core philosophical propositions: Ultimate Truth, the essence of human nature and the meaning of life. Taking literary narration as the carrier, it deeply analyzes the complexity and diversity of human nature, probes into the spiritual course of individuals seeking life value and Ultimate Truth in the world, and systematically expounds the feasible paths to reach Ultimate Truth and solve the ultimate confusion of life. It attempts to respond to the eternal thinking of human beings on their own existence and the essence of truth, and provides a new literary philosophical perspective for understanding the internal connection between human nature, life and truth. It's definitely not something you can grasp just by reading, you really have to put it into practice. My writing builds on Dostoevsky's ideas, so it’s no surprise if few people understand it—it’s indeed a tough journey. If people think I’m idealistic, naive, intellectually immature, or simple-minded, well, I’m used to such comments, but I certainly don’t agree. Perhaps those who think my ideas are too simple are actually the ones overcomplicating things. Although Asia has its developed countries and regions, even in this age of advanced information, there isn't a single nation that has truly experienced an intellectual awakening—the whole of Asia is still asleep. Ancient Greek philosophy was like a genetic mutation in human civilization, separated from other civilizations by barriers that are hard to break through. Meanwhile, the silent philosophies of the East—Buddhism, Laozi, and Zhuangzi—also face an insurmountable divide with Ancient Greek thought. It's incredibly difficult, yet paradoxically simple! When reading Western philosophical texts, I can genuinely feel the spiritual anguish of those philosophers and their yearning for ultimate truth. Since wise men have told us that the wisdom gained through Zen can free us from suffering and lead us to supreme truth, why not give it a try? My experience is limited, and living in a 'Truman Show' world, I lack a broad international perspective. My original intention in writing this was twofold: to narrate my own process of escaping a mental predicament and seeking the truth, and to express the hope that democracy can be achieved in a more peaceful way. I hope to have the opportunity to publish the full content someday. I've been learning English all along. Once I'm good enough, I'll translate this piece myself again.
