The modern world is prosperous in science, but the richness of human spirit may not match it. Laozi, Zhuangzi, Liezi, and today's Elon Musk, people are exploring the possibility of exceeding the length of life in their own way.

This is a story about simmering soup and gradually getting better. It requires you to have certain text reading skills and a curious heart to explore mysteries.
