The Soul Can Only Walk Alone
by Zhou Guoping
About This Novel
Happiness is a matter of the soul, but modern people are so uneasy. When people no longer pay attention to their inner world, their souls become increasingly shrunken and empty, leaving only a body busy in the world. There is nothing more tragic for a person than this. Zhou Guoping explores the common dilemmas of people's spiritual life from many aspects such as life and spirit, life and death, suffering and faith, truth and ideals, will and emotions through thinking about social reality, interpretation of the Bible, elaboration of Chinese spirituality, and comparison of Eastern and Western cultures. He gives unique interpretations of love and hate, failure and success, talent and character, mediocrity and hypocrisy, nostalgia and pursuit. Philosophy is more than just comfort, it is the fulcrum of spiritual life, bringing us a broad way of thinking and preventing us from sinking into mediocre daily life.

Why does the author say that animals have no souls?
Everyone has a soul, why don't animals have souls?
"The so-called maturity of many people is just that the edges have been smoothed away by customs and become worldly." There are countless good sentences, and they are enlightening and I have benefited a lot!
After reading this, I gradually feel that my existence seems to be illusory, and I don't know what words to use to describe my existence. I have no faith, and I don't seem to know the meaning of my existence. Facing everything around me, I seem to be just a cold bystander, even so insignificant that I am insignificant. Being so superficial makes me feel a little ashamed of myself.
The quality of life lies in the presence of the soul
Very nice. But I also have different opinions.
Or rather thinking. Question Confucianism does not know life, so how can it know death; Taoism is concerned with life and death, but refuses to face death. Confucianism entered the world and Taoism emerged, both avoiding the terrible edge of the world. Confucianism is actually the art of living in the world, Taoism is actually the art of cultivating the body, and the integration of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is actually the art of governing. Aren't Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism also a fusion of ideas? How did Su Shi explain? His broad and romantic yet lonely and silent attitude, could it be fake? The problem is not the doctrine, but the role of the individual. If it is from a national perspective. Maybe it means top-down promotion like in the Li Shimin era. In fact, I don't object to that. Each has its own merits. Mr. Zhou Guoping has his own opinions when he evaluates some people, and I also have my own opinions. I hope the world understands and tolerates us.
A very good book, I learned a lesson.
Kindness, richness and nobility are needed in every era, not just now. There were a lot of bad things going on in the past.
A very good book, I recommend everyone to read it
I have read one or two of Zhou Guoping's books, they are so heavy and thick.
We, the post-90s generation, move forward bravely with gratitude! As an only child, we are not timid or compromise! As the transition between the old and the new century, we are working hard! No matter where I am, I like to read a book Go through some mental journeys that you have never experienced before No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will still move forward with all our strength
