The whole universe is regarded as a process in which people's lives and desires are constantly satisfied. It is put forward that "desire" is the foundation, which endows the concept of "life" in China's traditional philosophy with the meaning of ontology and modern biological evolution.

Personal evaluation:
Yu-sheng Lin, a famous scholar, thinks that Liang Shuming and Lu Xun are the most creative thinkers in China in the 20th century. The rural construction movement led by Liang Shuming is a grand social transformation experiment, which attempts to combine the advantages of western modernization with those of China culture, and has made positive and valuable explorations. ?
Famous scholar Xu Jilin:
Nowadays, the vast majority of intellectuals are scholars and experts. They are very professional, but they no longer have the responsibility of taking the world as their own responsibility. China society is still in transition, and we still need Liang Shuming-style figures.
