Features: Whenever we encounter sudden social news, whenever we hear or witness the people and events around us—such as land desertification and river floods, children who have lost schooling and abandoned infants, prosperous cities and the figures with backpacks in "red-light districts"—we are often compelled to ask: How much of these events are natural disasters, and how much are man-made calamities? What has happened to "humanity"? When we place the "human," the crown of creation, on the coordinates of "biology" and sort it, we discover... What is a man? Why do some men resemble monkeys, or resemble them in part? Why hasn't the Creator fully transformed them into humans? Of course, such questions may sound sharp, but the conclusions are indeed rooted in facts, unadorned and truthful. This book attempts to place the secrets of the human mind in a broader coordinate system, seeking answers to the so-called "Heavenly Questions." It hopes to progress hand in hand with young friends in our shared learning. When tasting the joy of success, let us also savor our regrets.
