by Haiqing
About This Novel
Under modern rational considerations, "death" has no priority value over "life". Suicide can only be a "short-sightedness". However, people in history have faced a situation where "death" is easy and "suicide" is difficult. Life and death become a topic, often appearing in times of chaos or revolution. This book explores the discussions among intellectual groups from the late Qing Dynasty to the May Fourth era on contemporary issues such as assassination, suicide, and suicidal tendencies, as well as the opinions and imaginations formed on basic life issues such as life and death, self, love, and ethics. The discussion of the problem revolves around violent actions, death events and material cases, trying to trace the era information related to events, public opinions and people's thoughts, and observe the generation and dissolution process of self-worth in the process of China's modern revolution. This is also an explanation of the spiritual form and path choice of modern intellectuals.
