Who is Truman

Truman, Truman, true man. I have been watched by the world since I was born, and I have been living in the world created for him by the producer. Is it an honor to have the largest studio only for him? Just imagine, if your food, clothing, shelter and transportation are monitored for 24 hours, it would be terrifying. If it hadn't been for someone to tell him the truth, he might have been Chu Menxiu all his life, and the world would watch him grow old, sick, and die. After learning the truth, he questioned his wife, questioned his best brother, and went so crazy that the person who played his wife resigned. When he saw his father who had disappeared for many years, he thought he was dead, he seemed to calm down and the ratings reached a climax. Everyone relaxed their vigilance and thought he was normal. Unexpectedly, he drove the boat and set foot on the waters he feared the most. Driving on, drove to the "sky", the edge of the studio. The producer told him how dark the outside world was, and he walked out resolutely. There is no accident and time without sorrow is good, but his own destiny is always in the hands of others. He can change whatever actor he wants. Sunrise and sunset, squally rain, all the shocking scenery is artificial, is it meaningful? The outside world is full of lies, deception, and accidental setbacks, but isn’t this the meaning of life? Even if you are mocked, deceived, and endured suffering, you can never forget to grow toward the sun. This is the true meaning of being a human being. The unknown represents fear as well as hope. Sometimes I wake up suddenly, what am I pursuing, what am I busy with, what am I worrying about, sometimes your ceiling is really someone else’s floor, your hard work in this life may not be as good as someone else’s meal, how? Talking about fairness? Every time I see people with disabilities or people who have been teased by fate, there will be a burst of sadness in my heart. Why do you want to? But to be alive, you are lucky. There is no earthquake, no tsunami, no experience. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can still see the tomorrow that those who died yesterday have extravagant expectations. If you complain, you will find how unfair the world is; if you are open-minded, you will find how lucky you are. The meaning of true man is waiting for me to explore in a lifetime.
