Half-Life Coptidis Half-Life Buddha

"Half-Coptidis and Half-Life Buddha: A Hermaphrodite's Road to Buddhahood" starts from the Huaxia Village on the bank of the Yellow River in the Central Plains. It tells the legendary life of a naturally hermaphrodite from the abyss of suffering to awakening and redemption. In the 1980s, Hua Sankui and his wife, who were eager to have a child, welcomed their sixth child despite the heavy pressure of family planning. However, they gave birth to a "freak" who was neither boy nor girl, named "Gou Sheng". He has been stigmatized as a "monster" since he was a child. He has no household registration, suffered discrimination, suffered from illnesses, was alienated from his family, and was bullied by the world. His parents risked their lives to catch eels and went bankrupt to save him. The road to education was thorny at every step. He was rejected from day care and was criticized for entering school. As an adult, he had no way to find a job. He was deprived of even his basic dignity. He wanted to commit suicide on the "hanging river" of the Yellow River several times. When he was desperate, he stepped into Buddhism and became a volunteer. He endured the humiliation and practiced beside the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. He went through all kinds of hardships such as stealing melons and kneeling incense, doing odd jobs in temples, treating diseases and saving people, and tasted all the sufferings in the world. In the Buddhist academy, he adhered to his original intention, sacrificed himself during the earthquake relief work, and used his incomplete body to practice the path of Bodhisattva. He transcended the shackles of gender and worldly prejudices. With the acceptance and redemption of the Gao family, he grew from a spurned marginalized person to a healer and practitioner with great love. The novel uses "difficulty" as its bones and "suffering" as its soul, blends personal destiny with the changes of the times, Buddhist Zen philosophy and the fireworks of the world, and writes about a special life's road to becoming a Buddha after suffering between life and death, and finally achieving perfection. Intent: A story of physical disability, strong will, self-growth, compassion and redemption.
