Spiritual Echo

Lin Zhiyu, a master's degree student, returns to his hometown with the AI ​​"Jigu". He just wants to be an ostrich escaping from the city. However, she unexpectedly discovered that the endangered ballads, paper-cuts, and agricultural proverbs on the ancient Loess Plateau could resonate with modern technology and contain the key to solving real-world dilemmas. However, just as she was using the "Jigu" bridge to revitalize local wisdom, the shadow of the global cultural hegemony organization GCPI quietly loomed over her. The "Gaia Ark" they built was intended to purify diverse civilizations into cold digital specimens. An ultimate showdown regarding cultural ownership, interpretation rights and development rights begins. Lin Zhiyu must prove that the value of culture lies in its flesh-and-blood connection with land, history, and human relationships, and in its organic and even "chaotic" growth process. This is a practice of using the most cutting-edge tools to protect the oldest values, and it is also a profound inquiry about the future of human civilization. With a unique "loess technology style", this book integrates the wisdom of "harmony in diversity" into science fiction narratives, and explores how the fire of civilization diversity will survive under the wave of globalization and digitalization.
