The empirical study of Western psychology’s meaning to life (Meaning in Life) has been around for more than 40 years. Especially with the rise of the positive psychology movement, the research on the meaning of life has shown momentum of revival. The meaning of life is considered to be an important component and/or source of psychological well-being. A large number of empirical studies have found that the meaning of life plays an important role in alleviating examination anxiety, disease response and stress regulation. In addition, the meaning of life can continuously predict mental health. In order to measure the meaning of life, American scholar Steger equals compiled the Life Meaning Scale in 2006, which includes two factors: life Meaning Experience and Life Meaning Search. The experience of life meaning refers to the degree to which an individual currently experiences and perceives the meaning of his own life, while the pursuit of life meaning refers to the degree to which an individual actively seeks the meaning of life or goals of life. Each factor contains 5 entries. The questionnaire showed good reliability and validity in the sample of American and Japanese college students. In order to study the sense of meaning of life in the Chinese college students’ group, Liu Sisi et al. introduced the sense of meaning of life (MLQ) compiled by Steger et al. and tested the applicability of this scale among Chinese college students. Finally, they formed the Chinese version of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (C-MLQ), providing a measurement tool for domestic research on the sense of life. The meaning and value of life are fundamental issues about human existence, involving individual goals, goals and pursuits. This issue involves thinking and discussion in the fields of philosophy, religion, psychology and ethics. In the field of philosophy, the meaning and value of life have always been one of the core issues that philosophers pay attention to. Different schools of philosophicalism and thinkers have put forward various theories and opinions. For example, existential philosophy believes that the meaning of life is established through free choice and responsibility, and that every individual needs to find their own meaning in a meaningless world. Utilitarianism emphasizes that the value of life lies in the pursuit of the happiness and interests of the most people. Religious philosophy believes that the meaning and value of life come from its relationship with Gods who transcend themselves, religious beliefs and the fulfillment of moral obligations. From a psychological perspective, the meaning and value of life are closely related to the individual’s psychological sense of happiness, self-realization and satisfaction. Finding and experiencing the meaning of life can bring people a sense of purpose, satisfaction and happiness. Psychological research also shows that people with clear goals, values and sense of meaning are more likely to cope with challenges, overcome difficulties and improve mental health. In addition, the meaning and value of life are also related to ethics. Ethics explores how people should act and pursue a meaningful life. Ethics provides moral codes and principles that help people think about what a good, upright and valuable lifestyle is. Some famous golden sentences for life meaning, which summarize people’s profound thoughts and inspiration for the meaning of life: 1. ‘The meaning of life is not to discover yourself, but to create yourself.’ - George Bernard Shaw 2. ‘The meaning of life is to live for others.’ - Albert Einstein 3. ‘The value of life is not to hold powerful power, but to use power for kindness.’ - Nelson Mandela 4. ‘The meaning of life is to discover your talent, and the meaning of goal is to use it for the benefit of others.’ - John Hopkins 5. ‘Success is not the meaning of life, but a response to meaning.’ - Frank Ert 6. ‘The meaning of life is to find your mission and pursue it with all your heart.’ - Robin Shama 7. ‘The meaning of life is to continue to grow and progress, and to constantly pursue higher realms.’ - Gorky 8. ‘The meaning of life lies in experience, not just existence.’ - Friedrich Nietzsche 9. ‘The value of life lies in selfless dedication, giving love and care.’ - Martin Luther King 10. ‘The meaning of life lies in establishing a deep connection with others, sharing joy and dilemma.’ - De Simond Tuto These golden sentences provide different perspectives and ways of thinking, which can inspire people to think about the meaning of life and encourage them to pursue a meaningful and fulfilling life.
