筆者的故鄉是台灣，台灣以前信仰著傳統價值，有些人受到了傳統價值的打壓，然後他們試著尋找新價值，卻一直找不到。筆者證明了：「生命真的有意義，生命的意義是多元。」當筆者跟台灣分享我的答案後，台灣的教育部長高興地喊著多元，台灣通過了同性婚姻法，但生命有意義嗎？所以本書的內容包含了這四個題目：「同性婚姻法與生命的意義」、「生命的意義與傳統價值」、「生命的意義與完整的答案」、「生命的意義與筆者的目標」。筆者想要告訴大家：生命「真的」有意義。The author's hometown is Taiwan. Taiwan used to believe in traditional values. Some people were suppressed by traditional values. Then they tried to find new values, but they never found them.The author proved: "Life is really meaningful, and the meaning of life is diversity." When the author shared my answer with Taiwan, Taiwan's Minister of Education happily shouted diversity. Taiwan passed the same-sex marriage laws, but is life meaningful?Therefore, the content of this book includes these four topics:"Same-Sex Marriage Laws and the Meaning of Life","The meaning of life and traditional values","The meaning of life and the complete answer","The meaning of life and the author's goal." The author wants to tell everyone:Life "really" has meaning.
