Features: The author explains a new issue facing modern society by re-examining the views of thinkers such as Freud and Hobbes, inventing the concept of "masculinity," and interpreting how men and women, despite seemingly having equal rights, actually lead vastly different lives. The sun rises and sets, the tides ebb and flow, life is born and dies, dynasties rise and fall—where the old ends, the new begins; and the new must be born from the end of the old. This cycle of renewal and continuity embodies the essence of the living world. Without beginning or end, the world would stagnate, and life would lapse into eternal silence. The dawn of the new millennium carries a special significance. Although it is merely an ordinary point in the river of time, it carries a profound historical sense in terms of chronology. Because the new has been opened, the old has been closed.
