This is the story of three parallel worlds that exist in the same time and space. They rise together, alternate with each other, share weal and woe, and depend on each other for life and death.

If an anthill is like a miniature human society, then human society is also equivalent to a magnificent anthill. The third world is the biosphere, which is the sum of all life, a habitat full of infinite knowledge and mysteries, and the common home of thousands of species. In "Anthill," Wilson tells the coming-of-age story of an American boy named Rafe Cody. In order to escape the conflicts between his parents, little Cody often fled to the Nokobe Lake area near his home, where he observed and studied various animals and plants, and gradually grew into a little naturalist.

When he learned that the Nokobe Lake area might be destroyed by real estate development companies, Cody chose to enter Harvard Law School for further study, became an excellent lawyer, and successfully defended the ecological environment of the lake area using legal weapons. The entire novel can be divided into three main lines, namely anthill, human society and the entire ecosystem.

Confucianism actively engages with the world. Both "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" emphasize "cultivation", and the ultimate goal of "cultivation" is to "govern the world", not for one's own sublimation and liberation.

The book uses a flowing style to describe ordinary life, which is straightforward and frank, with "masochistic truth and triviality", and also shows touching sensitivity in the daily details. This book is the last part of the "Mein Kampf" series. Like a falling boulder, it completely stirs up the reader's memory and understanding of the first five parts. Beginning with the unhappiness and controversy that aroused among family and friends when the first book was published, and ending with his wife Linda's treatment and recovery from depression, it includes four hundred pages of meditations on Hitler, Nazism, and the nature of evil, as well as a close reading of a poem by Paul Celan about the Holocaust. The book intersperses between the individual's external world and the internal world, exploring the irreconcilable tension between literature and reality, private and public boundaries, and individual life and social forces.
