Mercy and Roses
by Xiong Peiyun
About This Novel
Leave space to the world and time to yourself. This is a book for those who struggle alone. It focuses on exploring the possibility of a better life and a better society from an individual perspective. Faced with the double pressure from the state and society, the author analyzes "selflessness means no morality", "pessimistic rationality", "incomplete compassion" and "the tyranny of the majority", and criticizes the popular concepts such as "refined egoist". The author believes that the passion for beauty is the basis of man's divinity. In its attitude towards suffering and absurdity, this book is full of tender sympathy for the individual's situation. Joy and pain are all plants and trees in the garden of human destiny, and they have the same weight. Here, Sisyphean futility is bliss. When a living person sees life, he not only pushes the stones on the ground, but also the roses in the sky. True compassion, in addition to sacrifice for all sentient beings, also includes self-perfection.

Faced with the double pressure from the state and society, the author analyzes the tyranny of the benevolent majority, which is selfless, pessimistic, and has incomplete rationality, and criticizes the fashionable concepts of refined egoists.
Mercy or rose
There is no need to always emphasize collectivism, the individual is also important. There is no need to mythologize a person, after all, he is still the same person no matter what.
Since then, I have added another book to my recommended reading list.
