The title of the novel is taken from the Bible as an inscription to refute "You are all lost generations": "One generation passed, and another generation came. But the land will last forever. The sun rises, the sun sets, and you hurry back to where you came from. The wind blows south, turns north, keeps spinning, and returns to the original road. All the rivers flow into the sea, but the sea is not satisfied. Where rivers flow, they still return. "
It not only reveals the irresistible natural laws in the universe, but also emphasizes the eternity and self-value of all things, implying that the "lost generation", as a passer-by on the historical stage, is bound to disappear. They must accept the pain and tragedy that have been constantly emerging, endure great pain, bravely face the failure, death threat and harsh reality of life, and continue to live in an empty life.
