Never Thought About the Meaning of Life 生命的意義，以前從未想過

生活從來不只是柴米油鹽的日常瑣屑，它亦有詩歌與遠方，有對未來的深情期許，也有對往事的悠遠回眸。千百年來，無數哲人與尋常百姓皆曾叩問生命的意義，而每一個靈魂，都給出了獨一無二的解答。
這部繪本選擇以一雙純真的孩童之眼出發——海市上琳琅滿目的待售鮮魚，悄然觸動了稚嫩心靈的深處，繼而將目光推向孩子所熟知的萬物穹蒼，也輕輕喚醒讀者內心對自我的凝視。翻開前蝴蝶頁，是深邃而靜謐的海洋世界，那是生命的搖籃與起點；合上後蝴蝶頁，則是浩渺無垠的星空宇宙，萬物終將於此歸於永恆。前後呼應的視覺詩學與文字交織共鳴，引人駐足，向內沉思。
 
Life is never merely a matter of daily bread and salt; it also holds poetry and distant horizons, deep aspirations for the future, and gentle retrospection toward the past. For centuries, countless sages and ordinary souls alike have questioned the meaning of existence, each sketching a unique answer of their own.
This picture book looks through the innocent eyes of a child. Amid the dazzling array of fresh fish sold at the seaside market, a quiet question stirs within, rippling outward to embrace the familiar world of all things, and awakening the reader’s own contemplative gaze. The front endpapers open into a deep, serene ocean—the cradle and origin of life. The back endpapers unfold into a vast, boundless cosmos, where every life ultimately finds its way back to eternity. In subtle harmony with the text, this visual poetry lingers, inviting the reader to pause and journey inward.
