Liu Jingchong is a successful businessman, he went from a poor rural teenager, with his diligence and wisdom, step by step to the peak of his career, and realized the dream of wealth freedom. He has everything that ordinary people envy: mansions, famous cars, beautiful women, fame. His family also seemed happy: he had a beautiful wife, a bright son, and wealthy parents.
But when he had it all, he felt empty and confused. He no longer has enthusiasm and passion for life, he no longer has motivation and interest in work, he no longer has affection and responsibility for his family. He began to think about the value and meaning of his life, and he began to look for what he really wanted.
He found that he had lost his feelings for money, which to him was just a bunch of numbers and of no practical use. He thought about the ideals and ambitions of his youth, and he thought about why he was working hard. He recalls his initial motivation: to make a good life for his family, to change his destiny, to realize his own value.
But now what? He has achieved these goals, but he has not received the satisfaction and happiness expected. Instead, he felt more stressed and annoyed. He found himself losing a lot in his pursuit of money: losing his health, losing his friends, losing his family, losing himself.
He began to doubt his choices and decisions, and he began to regret his efforts and sacrifices. He felt that he had wasted his most precious youth and time for something inconsequential. He wanted to rediscover himself, to rediscover the meaning and joy of life. But he didn't know what to do and where to start.
He felt like a ship lost in the middle of nowhere, with no direction and no purpose. So, he began to ask for help and guidance. He began reading a wide variety of books, from philosophy to psychology, from religion to science. He hopes to find answers and inspiration in it. But he found that the books did not bring him true satisfaction and comfort.
Each book has different perspectives and theories, and everyone has different experiences and feelings. No book can fully match his situation and needs. So, he began to experiment with various activities and methods. He started traveling, sports, games, music, art, and much more. He hopes to enrich his life through these activities, release his stress, and find his interests.
But he found that these activities did not bring him real joy and achievement. Each activity only brings him temporary stimulation and relaxation and does not solve the underlying problem. And these activities also cost a lot of time and money, and he felt that he had fallen into another form of luxury and waste.
So, he began to look for something deeper. He began to think about the nature and purpose of life, and he began to think about his soul and his faith. He wanted to find something that would calm and tranquilize his heart, something that would allow him to transcend the material and physical.
But he found that these things were not easy to find. He tried different religions and beliefs, but none of them convinced and accepted him completely. He felt that each religion and belief had its own strengths and weaknesses, its own truths and contradictions. He could not fully believe in any of them, nor could he completely deny any of them.
In this way, Liu Jingchong fell into a predicament that he could not get out of. He felt more lost and confused than ever. He didn't know what to do and where to go. He began to doubt whether his existence was meaningful, and he began to doubt whether his life had value. He began to get bored and disappointed with himself. He began to feel hopeless and helpless about himself.
He wants to escape from this life, he wants to change this state. But he didn't know how to escape, how to change. This is the story of Liu Jingchong, the story of a man who has billions of fortunes but feels lost. The story of a man who seems to succeed but actually fails. The story of a person who needs help but can't find it.
Have you had a similar experience? Have you ever felt lost? Have you ever looked for answers? If you had, then you might be surprised or curious about Liu Jingchong's later choices. Because Liu Jingchong later made a decision that was difficult for everyone to understand and accept: he chose to become a monk.
