Xiang Shan did not agree with the philosophy espoused by the Hermit of Heavenly Machine.
However, he was willing to acknowledge that within this twisted logic, there were traces of "correct" elements.
Human "modernization" was supposed to be like cutting through the chaos to break the gloom of old days and bring the light of reason and civilization, making life happier for more people.
At least that's what Xiang Shan, someone with a certain faith in "modernity," believed.
"Modernization" should be an earth-shattering event.
But Xiang Shan knew that in reality, this was not the case.
Human modernization was magnificent. But that did not stop it from being a piece of shit.
"Modernization" was entangled with capitalism. Science and imperialism supported each other, and the undead of the old days quietly infiltrated the very foundation of society. Errors that had persisted for thousands of years remained uncorrected.
