在生命的长河中，我们追寻着存在的终极意义。向死而生，这不仅仅是对生命本质的深刻诠释，更是一种哲学的沉思。在这片广袤的思想原野上，我们将开启一段探寻之旅，试图触摸那生命之光的边缘。

In the long river of life, we pursue the ultimate meaning of existence. To live in the face of death is not only a profound interpretation of the essence of life but also a philosophical contemplation. On this vast plain of thought, we will embark on a journey of exploration, trying to touch the edge of the light of life.

1. 死亡这个重要的课题，值得我们认真的深入的去思考。

6. 一个人活在这个世界上，100年不过一瞬间的时间，几十年的生命倏忽而逝，然后被人推进火葬场的焚尸炉，在熊熊烈火之间化为缕缕青烟，随风飘散，这个世界不会留下你的任何痕迹，知道你的最后一个人去世后，这个世界连提起你名字的人都不会有了。你拥有的名利金钱，职务地位，都是一场梦。

6. A person's life on this earth is just a moment in 100 years, and several decades of life slip away in a flash. Then, you are pushed into the crematorium's incinerator, turning into wisps of smoke amidst the raging flames, and being carried away by the wind. This world will not leave any trace of you. After the last person who knows you passes away, there will be no one left in this world to even mention your name. The fame, fortune, money, positions, and statuses you possess are all just a dream.

7. If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my familyFrom their in spiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country,and who knows, I may have even changed the world

7. If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to improve my country, and who knows, I may even have changed the world.

8. 生活的那种“没有选择”的幻觉会散去，觉知我们拥有人生的选择权，我们可以去谱写自己的人生脚本。

8. The illusion of having "no choice" in life will fade away, and we will become aware of our right to choose in life, allowing us to compose our own script for living.

9. 我想你可能会的离开自己不喜欢的工作，会和爱慕许久的人表达爱意，甚至可能做以前从来不敢做的事情。

10. 最后她说： “生命生而自由，在自由的基础上，有无限可能性。”

10. Finally, she said, "Life is born free, and based on freedom, there are infinite possibilities."

11. Death is not the opposite of life; death is a part of life. Death teaches us how to live, to cherish everything we have, and to treasure our lives.

12. 向死而生，首先说的是人生存的客观状态。人都会死，实际上是面对终究要死的宿命而活。其次要表达的是人生态度，既然知道人不可避免的宿命，所以要豁达洒脱，不要太执着较真。还有另一种意思，就是面对绝境而发出的大勇。这是后来延伸的意思。

12. To live in the face of death primarily refers to the objective state of human existence. Since everyone will die, it is actually to live in the face of the inevitable fate of death. Secondly, it expresses an attitude towards life; knowing that human destiny is unavoidable, one should be magnanimous and carefree, and not be too obsessed with being picky. There is also another meaning, which is the great courage shown in the face of dire straits. This is an extended meaning that came later.

13. （练习说出心里的真实感受吧。我们无法控制他人的反应，或许当你刚开始尝试这么做时，旁人会被你的坦白吓到。但这也是一个机会，能让你们之间的关系上升到全新而且更健康的境界；或者，这也是一个好时机，帮你过滤掉一些其实你根本不需要的虚伪关系。不管怎样，你都为自己赢得了一个不后悔的人生。）

13. (Practice expressing your true feelings. We cannot control others' reactions, and perhaps when you start trying this, people might be startled by your openness. But this is also an opportunity to elevate your relationship to a new and healthier level; or, it could be a good time to filter out some false relationships that you really don't need. In any case, you have won for yourself a life that you won't regret.)

14. The Fixed-Investment Practice contains a section on happiness, with a lecturer being a dance teacher who lost both legs, named Liao Zhi.

15. 向死而生，明白苦难对于人生的意义。德国哲学家马丁海德格尓提出了人都是“向死而生”的哲学概念，人从出生的那一刻起就己经开始迈向死亡的边缘，每一秒、每一分、每一刻、每一天无不是走向死的过程，而“亡＂则代表着这一过程的最后终结，即人作为一个生理物体的彻底消失。

15. To live towards death, and to understand the significance of suffering in life. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger proposed the philosophical concept that humans are all "living towards death."

"Death" represents the final end of this process, which is the complete disappearance of a person as a physical entity.

17. 死亡看似离我们很远，其实它离我们很近。 因为 “眼睛一闭，不睁，这一辈子真的就过去了”。

17. Death seems far away from us, but in fact, it is very close. Because "when you close your eyes and don't open them, this lifetime really just passes by."

18. As Igrew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country But it, too, seemed immovable

19. 冯唐说：“实在放不下的时候，去趟重症病房或者墓地，你容易明白， 你已经得到太多，再要就是贪婪，时间太少，好玩儿的事儿太多，从尊重生命的角度，不必纠缠。”

19. Feng Tang said: "When you really can't let go, go to the intensive care unit or the graveyard. You will easily understand that you have already received too much. Any further desire is greed. Time is too short, and there are too many fun things to do. From the perspective of respecting life, there is no need to be entangled."

20. 而向死而生中重要的不是“死”是“生”，是我们面对自己终将死亡后，选择生活的方式。

27. Lying on the hospital bed as she was rescued from the ruins, at that moment, all the aforementioned conditions for happiness were not met. Yet, she began to feel happy.

28. 反求诸己，是人向自身内在的探索。就是人对自己的认知、提升，通过这样的自我内省，来化解许多人生苦恼，而不是向外求取。阳明心学和佛学思想都是这样的主张，儒家也特别强调自我的修为。提倡三省吾身。

28. "Seeking solutions within oneself is an exploration into the inner self. It is about the recognition and improvement of oneself, resolving many life troubles through such self-reflection, rather than seeking externally.

It advocates for self-examination through the practice of 'three reflections on oneself'."

30. And look at that little shepherd boy riding a big blue ox along the country lane, blowing a short flute. The green mountains and clear waters are all within his sight, and the cheerful sound of the flute is refreshing to the soul. How pleasant his life must be! Compared to those who chase fame and wealth, though they may think themselves superior and adorned with decorations, their quality of life is not as good as that of this little shepherd boy.

31. 对于一个舞蹈老师来说，失去双腿就好比被剪去翅膀的天使。但，她没有因此被打倒，而是因为这场生死考验之后，她变得更爱且更珍惜生活的每一天。

39. “向死而生＂的哲学意义在于让每个个体都强烈感受到“自我”的存在，深刻地思考自己存在的意义。一个没有经历苦难的人，是不会真正觉醒去思考这一“倒计时＂的过程的。人之所以会感觉到“苦难＂，在很大程度上是因为自己的贪欲没有得到满足，或与自身生命无关的功名利禄的得而复失。这与佛家“色空”的观念很相似，我们看到的物欲世界都是“色相＂，没有什么是永恒的，都是暂时的、无常的。

39. The philosophical significance of the concept of "living towards death" lies in making each individual acutely aware of the existence of "the self" and profoundly reflecting on the meaning of their own existence. A person who has not experienced suffering will not truly awaken to think about this "countdown" process. The feeling of "suffering" is largely because one's desires have not been satisfied, or because of the gain and loss of fame and fortune unrelated to one's own life. This is very similar to the Buddhist concept of "form and emptiness"; the materialistic world we see is all "form," and nothing is eternal; everything is temporary and impermanent.

47. When all the conditions that were later imposed are discarded and only life remains, the love one can feel for oneself then is the true love, and the gratitude at that moment is heartfelt gratitude. True happiness is the genuine gratitude for life, for the people around, and for the world.

49. This has been mentioned in previous speeches and articles titled "Whale Fossil." During an internship, I witnessed a severely ill patient show significant improvement after over half a year of treatment.

54. 几乎每一个我照顾的男病人都会这么说。他们怀念天真烂漫的童年时光，以及爱人的亲密陪伴。他们后悔总是把大把的时间留给工作，却冷落了自己爱的人与爱自己的人。
