Episode 2: Nuwa·Where do I come from?

In the long history of mankind, life and death have always been an unavoidable theme.You, me, and we, as part of all living beings, witness the birth and death of life together, and participate in this eternal replacement of life.In ancient Chinese mythology, the cycle of life and death is endowed with mysterious and sublime significance, becoming the source of the beginning of the world.

In mythology, the image of Nuwa stands at the beginning of time. She is not only a god of creation, but also a symbol of the cycle of life and death.The death of Nuwa is not the end of life, but a new starting point.Her body turned into mountains and rivers, her breath turned into wind, clouds, thunder and rain, and her blood flowed into rivers, lakes and seas.From her “death”, all things come to %life.This philosophical thought of interdependence between life and death and endless reincarnation is deeply rooted in the cultural tradition of the Chinese nation.

In the myth of Nuwa, we can see mankind's profound thinking on the issues of life and death.The end of life does not mean the disappearance of everything, but the beginning of another form.This cyclical process is the embodiment of the orderly replacement of life.The death of Nuwa and the birth of all things form a perfect closed loop, symbolizing the eternity and immortality of life.

For every individual, life and death are equally important topics.The birth of life means a new beginning, a future full of infinite possibilities.The end of life is the end of a cycle, a process of returning to nothingness.But in this process, we should not only see the opposition between life and death, but also the connection and transformation between them.

In the journey of life, we may not be able to change the facts of life and death, but we can choose how to face it.We can cherish every moment and live out the value of life; we can also leave our own traces at the end of life and become the memory of future generations.
