Every human disaster is a new opportunity for the advance of civilization, and the global COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. Three years of the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, and the order we had built collapsed. From the objective world to the spiritual world have experienced unprecedented suffering. Why did the pandemic happen? When will this disaster end? How will the future be rebuilt? We are living in pain, but at the same time, we are looking forward to rebirth after the pandemic. We see this pandemic as an opportunity to rise from the ashes.
