After playing for nearly 44 hours, this masterpiece has, in some ways, totally changed my life and worldview.

Through this game, I found answers of a lot of questions that had troubled me for years: How does human civilisation operate? Where do we come from, and where are we go? What is the essence of money and capital? Why do I need to learn? While playing, I often read a lot of books and papers to examine whether the game aligns with reality and to identify any mechanics that deviate from it. It reignited my passion for reading, studying societal issues, and working challenges. I also began to analyse social issues more rationally, considering the diversity and complexity of people and things.

Inspired by this, I started learning new skills, such as writing and public speaking. I became more reflective, noticing areas in my life that could be improved each week. Through continuous practice in decision-making and planning within the game, I gradually began to plan and execute in my own life. (Though it may sound strange, I genuinely started planning my daily schedule, meals, and fitness routines, and then execute plans.) I also began keeping a journal, recording what I accomplished each day, find out what I did well and where I could improve.

When I look back, I realise that life is actually quite simple, and the structure of the world is straightforward and flat. Many individuals have made extraordinary contributions but still faced their own struggles. They are far from saints and have made their share of mistakes and questionable choices. However, humans always have the ability to make better decisions and improve outcomes, just like the regime you control in this game. You can always make your civilisation stronger, and you can always do better.


在游玩了将近44个小时之后，这款艺术品从某种程度上改变了我的人生和世界观。

在这个游戏中，我找到了一些困扰多年的答案：人类文明是如何运作的？我们从何而来，又将走向何处？金钱和资本的本质是什么？我为什么要学习？等问题。在我不断游玩的过程中，我常常翻阅资料来考究这个游戏是否符合现实，有什么机制不太与现实相符。我重新开始看书，研究社会问题和工作问题，并且开始可以合理的对社会问题做分析，考虑人与事物的多样性和复杂性。

受此启发，我开始学习新的技能，比如写作，演讲。我开始不断反思自己，并开始觉得每周我都有做的不足的地方。而在我不断建立做决策和规划的过程中，我也开始逐渐计划并且执行我自己的人生（虽然听起来很离谱，但是确实开始计划一天的安排，饮食，健身，然后强制执行计划）。我开始写日记，记录我一天都在做什么，我什么地方做的好，什么地方可以做的更好。

当我回过头的时候我发现其实人生很简单，世界的架构也很平坦，很多人做出了卓越的贡献但也有着自己的烦恼，并且他们也非圣人一样，他们也曾经做过肮脏龌龊的事情。然而，人总能做出更好的决策，把事做的更好，就和这个游戏中属于你的政权一样，你永远可以让你的文明更强大，你永远可以做的更好。
