The world is unkind and the weak eat the strong - this is the eternal law of the jungle.
I saw through it, Confucius broke it, Qin Emperor Xiang Yu risked his life to hack it - generations of torch-bearers went against the will of heaven and snatched away benevolence, righteousness, rules and conscience from the eternal darkness. But the torch will burn out, the great men will die, and the darkness will always return.
And what about them?
Shi An, a farmer from the state of Lu, was illiterate and had never left the county in his life. They were robbed, starved, and watched their loved ones die under the knife.
But he has never eaten anyone, never harmed anyone, or turned into a beast in troubled times.
He passed the four words "live well" to his sons and grandsons, generation after generation...
In the eternal night, the strong hold the torch, and the mortals keep the light.
If you have ever doubted: I am an ordinary person, what is the meaning of living?
This book is the answer for you.
Darkness is eternal, but the glimmer of light never dies.
