Read the book as a Chinese.

There's a theory in Chinese culture: Life never stops in this world. There's something called "道" keeps everything works. And life also circulates with it.
Sounds a bit hard to think it through, right? We all feel the same way. To learn how ancient Chinese thought is part of our curriculum. Sometimes it's interesting to me, but I am a little tired of being confused with some frustrating tests.
Anyway, this stroy is an easier version, so I enjoy reading it. I DO believe that the greatest and the most miraculous power is LIFE. Money and beauty are concerned as the most important thing for people, but they fade away sooner or later. That's part of theory I believe in.
Maybe you can find more in books in the library of your school. Trust me, reading it helps you to think and learn how live a meaningful and happy life.
