This lecture is based on "Fate, Responsibility and Freedom - From TragedyOedipus the King>Speaking of" as the theme, it not only tells mythical stories, but also explores the philosophy of life. In the lecture, Huang Yusheng combined his own experience, Western myths and dramas, and the reality of today's society, quoted from many sources, and made witty remarks to explain his philosophical thoughts, so that the students could understand the basic issues and significance of philosophy, and have a better understanding and grasp of life.

At the beginning of the lecture, Huang Yusheng asked a question: Why study philosophy? In his opinion, it is philosophy that solves all the problems that confuse him. It is philosophy that allows him to truly face everything in the world calmly, including the suffering and happiness.

Then, by telling the plot of the famous Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex" and the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the "Old Testament", Huang Yusheng raised the irreversibility and cruelty of fate. He led the students present into deep thinking with a series of questions about fate, rights and temptation.

When talking about the relationship between responsibility and freedom, Huang Yusheng believes that people are born with freedom and responsibility, and while we enjoy our own freedom, we must recognize others, respect others, and recognize that others have the same universal rights and universal responsibilities as ourselves, so that we can truly combine freedom and responsibility. People can decide their actions according to their own will. In Huang Yusheng's view, because people are free, they can break through inevitability, make and keep contracts, and even go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. "People's freedom allows them to be aware of the danger ahead, but still do whatever it takes for the sake of morality in their hearts." Huang Yusheng said.

Finally, Huang Yusheng warned the students present with sincerity: The meaning of people's existence is not to be a mere technical talent, but to survive for their own purposes. The dignity of each person lies in the fact that everyone is a purposeful being and is not just a tool of the country and society. And the philosophical reason for this is precisely that humans are free. "When a stone sinks into the water, we have no reason to condemn the sinking of the stone." He told the students that people have absolute rights and dignity because of freedom, so everyone should safeguard their dignity.

During the question-and-answer session, five students raised their own confusions to Huang Yusheng from aspects such as the role of philosophy in real life, destiny, and freedom. He answered them one by one in a patient, detailed and simple way.
