The Wandering Earth II is a China science fiction film released in January, 2023. The film tells a story that the "solar crisis" is coming, and the world is in a panic. Ten thousand planetary engines are under construction, and human beings will face the double challenges of doomsday disaster and life survival.
《流浪地球2》是2023年1月上映的一部中国科幻电影。影片讲述了“太阳危机”即将来袭，世界陷入一片恐慌之中，万座行星发动机正在建造中，人类将面临末日灾难与生命存续的双重挑战故事。
In fact, the crisis in the film is not an accidental natural phenomenon, but actually a challenge given to human beings by artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence MOSS forced the loose group of human beings to become Community of Shared Future for Mankind by crisis, so as to really save human beings and let human civilization pass on.
影片中的危机其实并非偶然的自然现象，而实际上是人工智能给人类布置的挑战。人工智能MOSS用危机强行使得松散的人类成为人类命运共同体，才能够真正意义上拯救人类，让人类传承下去。
The sentence that touched me the most in the movie was that Ma Zhao told Tu Hengyu at the last moment of his life, "Civilization without people is meaningless". "Civilization" is a vocabulary with a huge concept, but among its various elements, human being is a indispensable keyword. Civilization is created, maintained and continued by human beings. Civilization represents the meaning that why human beings exist, or it is the meaning of human itself.
电影中最触动我的一句话是马兆在生命最后一刻告诉图恒宇的那句话，“没有人的文明，毫无意义”。“文明”是一个很宏大的词汇，可是在其诸多要素中，人类是不可或缺的关键词。文明由人类缔造、维持和延续。文明代表着人类存在的意义，或者说文明就是人类意义的本身。
The concept of "digital life" appeared in the film, and the digital life created by Tu Hengyu bears many people's good wishes for eternal life. But I think that though digital life can make human’s memory and life exist in another form, it can't continue human civilization. Civilization carries human consciousness and spirit, which is derived from human’s emotions. After all, digital life is just a cold code, also a backup and replica of human data. It may be used as a tool to preserve human civilization, but it is impossible to continue and create human civilization. Human beings don't need digital life, and what they need is sustainable development and inheritance.
片中出现了“数字生命”的概念，图恒宇创造的数字生命承载了很多人对于永生的美好愿望。但我认为，数字生命固然可以使人类的记忆、生命以另一种形式存在下去，但它并不能延续人类的文明，文明承载的是人类的意识和精神，文明是在人类的情感中产生的。数字生命终究只是一串冰冷的代码，只是人类的数据备份和复制品。它或许可以作为一种工具将人类文明保存下去，但绝无可能延续和创造人类文明。人类不需要数字生命，人类需要的是生生不息，薪火相传。
