A Deliveryman's View of the Universe: From the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the Stars Beyond

People are born of people, and monsters are born of monsters. Everyone has parents, and each time you go back one generation, the number of ancestors doubles. By that logic, if you trace back a million years, one person would have 2^50000 ancestors more than all the elementary particles in the universe combined. Clearly, that is impossible. Fu Qingyi, born into a prestigious family, discovers that someone she cares about has been stumped by this paradox. She immediately decides to track down the “source of this scourge” and put an end to it once and for all! But she never imagined that the person who came up with this mind-bending theory would be a food delivery driver with only a high school education. Even more outrageous, everything this delivery driver says is an astonishing insight she has never heard before: Where exactly is Kunlun? Why is Luoyang called “the center of the world”? How do you “scare a big black fish” in the sea? How should humanity land on Mars? And what is the ultimate answer to the universe? An ordinary delivery driver, armed with unorthodox insights into ancient texts and the cosmos, crashes headfirst into Beidu’s top academic circles. From the primordial mists of the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the far side of the galaxy. Amid the bustle of everyday life lie the answers that lead to the universe.
