"Unfinished Echo" only asks one question: What is the meaning of existence? Lin Sheng lost all awareness of his daughter after the tunnel collapsed - he knew that he had a seven-year-old daughter named Lin Zhao, and could deduce her existence from crayon drawings, birth certificates, and height scales, but he could not remember her face, her voice, or her standing in front of the wall waiting for him. A person calls you alone, but you cannot sense it - is she still there? Are you chasing someone, but you have no way of knowing who she is, whether she is there or not? The entire novel responds to a father's tracking across three universes: from abnormal frequencies in the laboratory, to the governance of benevolence, to the collapsing alien network, to a predator that has devoured seven universes. At the end of the trail, he heard his daughter call "Daddy." Then he could never leave - he became the core of the collapsed universe, "all there" but never able to leave. She answered "in" by waiting, and he answered "in" by not leaving. Eventually the three of them dispersed into the wind, purple and base fields. No eternal life, no victory. After passing through, they dispersed back to the front of the structure. But the song in the alley is still ringing. An old man sitting on a bamboo chair said: The ants are alive, the grass is alive, and the wind is alive. You don't need a reason to live. This book is not about giving you an answer. After asking more than a million words, it tells you: the answer is only three words. "It's enough to be here." The person who said it was a seven-year-old girl. She waited alone in a foreign land for twelve years, waited, and then let go.
