Both China and West had answered the question “where I am going” in their own ways. This chapter re-examines the question and confirms the fundamental cultural faith of “survival,” common to China and in the West, in the traditional and in the modern ages. We must die sooner or later: the answer to the question “what happens when we die?” has become the key issue in answering the question “where I am going?” The secular answer, represented by Confucianism, is that “we don’t know”, an answer that inspired a cult-like worship of longevity in traditional Chinese culture. The religious answer, both in China and in the West, is that human beings are either invited to heaven or condemned to hell after they die. The religious answer once sustained the social order. However, it has been largely discredited with the development of modern science. An alternative way to understand death is through reproduction. Our children carrying on our lives in such a way that while the individual dies, the family, and at a larger scale, the species of which it was a member, survives. This line of reasoning resulted in a key faith of traditional Chinese culture that encourages one to “have children and to have as many children as possible.” In the West, it is also strongly believed that to have children is to be blessed. The modern scientific corollary is that our children are indeed carrying on our genes. There is yet another way for an individual to escape death: that is to serve the society either by their deeds or their words, building a lasting legacy in the surviving culture they leave behind. In fact, ideas can determine the lives of individuals even more powerfully than the genes they carry from their parents. In answering the question “where I am going”, we can find the cultural faith, both in traditional and modern Chinese culture, that human beings, as individuals and as a race, must survive, and that, paradoxically, the survival of the race is ensured by the “passing on” of the individual.
