Author's Preface
Note: The author's self-translated English version from the original Chinese (consistent across all chapters).
Ever since memory began, one question has persisted: why is human life so saturated with conflict? From quarrels over nothing to street brawls, from venomous debates to wars that devour millions, the pattern repeats, endless.
Now, past forty, I begin to discern the machinery behind.
As we grow, we each forge a private lens through which we read reality. In the single mind, it hardens into bias; in religion, it becomes faith; in nations, it crystallizes into ideology. Every conflict on Earth—and beyond—stems from a fundamental disagreement about the nature of reality itself.
And yet, almost no one truly desires bloodshed. Reality simply continues to disappoint.
So how do we break the cycle?
This question drove me to write this science-fiction trilogy, Voyaging.
I offer no final answers, only to hold up a mirror—wider, colder, more honest.
If, when you close the last volume, the lens you carry has shifted even a millimeter, these books have done their work.
And perhaps, together, we will have moved the species one millimeter closer to a future where understanding arrives before the missiles.
自序
注释:以下为中文原版（其他章节同）
自记忆萌发之时,就有个问题如影随形:人类为什么总会陷入无休止的冲突?从鸡毛蒜皮的争吵到街头斗殴,从唇枪舌剑的论战到死伤无数的战争.
而已年过四十,方才窥见其背后冰冷的运行法则.
在成长中,我们各自锻造着一副私人的透镜,透过它来解读世界.于个体,它硬化成偏见;于宗教,它演变为信仰;于国家,它结晶为意识形态.地球上——乃至地球之外——的一切冲突,都源自对"现实本质"的认知裂痕.
然而,几乎没有人真正渴望冲突和战争,可现实,却总是一再让我们失望.
那么,我们该如何打破这个循环?
正是这个问题,催生了这部科幻三部曲"远航".
笔者不敢妄言提供了终极答案,只想举起一面镜子——一面更宽广,更诚实,因而也更为冰冷的镜子.
若当您合上最终卷时,所持有的那副透镜哪怕仅仅向前挪动了一毫米,那么这部作品就算达成了它的使命.
也因此,我们共同将人类文明向那个"理解先于导弹"的未来,又推进了一毫米.
