I have down several essays with this topic during my growth process. Each of them is different. By reviewing these essays I have down before, I get a conclusion that might be the answer to the question. Life is changing or moving, life is not invariable, experiencing changes in life is the meaning of life.
When I was about 10 year-old, a primary school teacher asked me to write the first essay to explain what is the meaning of life. I did not write it very simple, I gave many answers to the question. I thought there are many different lifestyles, and there is no single answer can answer the question. I did not know what the society is, how
I wrote the second essay with this topic after I just entered junior high school. I forget what exactly I wrote down that time, but it should be a very big ideal, such as to be a successful scientist or businessman, like most Chinese students do. I was expected to be a successful businessman by my father, and I really liked economics during that time, I could not imagine I would study mechanical engineering in university.
The last essay was written when I was in high school. Chinese high schools are incredible strict, and there is no freedom, students have to study day and night, they cannot do anything else but study. I suffered a lot from that, so I wrote the essay with the answer that the meaning of life is freedom, people should do whatever they want, legally. I wrote this essay with great passion. I thought most Chinese schools should be burned since they keep destroying students’ creativity and self-esteem. However, I only wrote it with passion, there was no logical or fundamental thoughts in it. It is more like a behavior that vent my anger.
In conclusion, I think all the answers above I wrote to the question are right, there is actually no absolute answer for this question in general. Nevertheless, experiencing the changes is the most enjoyable and fantastic part
