Due to his own fate,Shi Tiesheng started exploring the knotty problems in life.He was a seeker after literature,philosophy and religion.From a microscopic to a macroscopic view,he wrote on individuals and mankind,difficulties and transcendence.He faced the hardships of life,made bold exploration of puzzling questions and replaced literature with writing.His writing is human-oriented literature,which highlights humanistic concern and aims at developing human spirit and finding a good destination for souls.His literary creation is permeated by the concept of existentialism.He depicted all sorts of trouble people met in reality,discussed the causes of the trouble,and looked for remedies.His works are existentialist literature,with a strong implication of existentialism.He studied existentialism,probing into different forms of existence,such as the origin and desires.He believed that the world involves both subjective and objective factors,and the relation between the universe and humans is that between a whole and parts,between infinite and finite.He identified with the idea that mankind is an integral part of nature and the fusion of flesh and spirit.He investigated the relationships among truth,goodness,beauty and honesty,as well as the time dimension.He explored the journey of human destiny composed of the original sin and repentance,misery and confidence,desires and hope,and disability and love.Besides,he presented the hypothesis of “multiple dimensions” and his own unique“view of time” and “view of reality”.In terms of religious belief,as an agnostic theist,he was sure of the existence of “the God” in the world,and believed that the infinite God created the universe and mankind and set rules for the universe.From his writing,we can see the dualistic nature of the God determines that he not only created the world but also gave people enlightenment on their destiny;“Buddha” and “completeness” are not nouns in the lexical sense,but can be used as verbs to describe the process of human practice in keeping going and pursuing spiritual sublimation.“Both the heaven and the hell are in the human world.” The heaven or the hell only depends on one's attitude toward life and choice between good and evil.The heaven is not a retreat away from the turmoil of the world,but the human world in peace and happiness.This world is the entrance to the other,both of which we can see and get infinitely close to.When finding no way out of misery,hardship and despair,humans will get lost in the confusing intelligence,philosophy and science.Humans have to stick to religious belief,believe in the God,keep pursuing and finding the meaning of life,and understand the implication of trials and absurdities.Only in this way can we get rid of the worries about human destiny,and can our souls and fates be redeemed.The redemption of humans is an endless journey,during which we explore mysteries and approach divinity.On this road of faith,we move forward and upward,for the pursuit of goodness and beauty.On our way,we must be accompanied by “faith”,“love”,“love for fate”,“hope” and “transcendence and breakthrough”,to fulfill individual life construction and continue to rotate the wheel of human destiny.Shi Tiesheng had religious faith,though he could not be included in any specific religious sect.He was the one getting closest to the other world.
