Confirmation of birth intentions

🛰Content Introduction
Fifty years later, human fertility technology has reached its pinnacle, with fetuses able to decide for themselves whether to give birth two weeks before their due date. Ultimately, whether a child "gives birth" or "withdraws," parents must accept their child's wishes. If parents insist on giving birth against the fetus's wishes, they will be considered criminals and ostracized by society. "Birth consent confirmation" has become a progressive convention of this brave new world...
In Tokyo, ordinary office worker Ayaka Tachibana is pregnant with a new life. As she prepares to receive her final confirmation of her birth wishes, will she be able to give birth to this child?

【Editor's Recommendation】
⭐When the birth or not is decided by the fetus, natural childbirth becomes a crime for parents?
Another literary adventure for female writers!
With a surprising setting, it reflects on the topic of fertility; with a sharp female perspective, it challenges your common sense.
In the future world described in the novel, before giving birth to a child, his "willingness to be born" must be confirmed.
Regardless of the choice the child makes, parents must abide by it, otherwise they will face legal consequences...
A rare sight! A stunning work beyond your imagination.
Young writers of the new era bravely write about hot topics!
——While we were still discussing whether to have a baby,
Li Qinfeng has begun to discuss more dangerous topics such as "whether to be born" in his novels.
⭐ “Did you get my consent when you gave birth to me?” “Children who were forced to be born are so pitiful.”
Who has the final say on the autonomy of life?
Is the act of giving life an instinct for reproduction, a parental privilege, or a forced initiation?
With bold literary imagination, it challenges the dangerous questions of existential ethics and explores the eternal dilemma of mankind.
When talking about the inspiration for his creation, Li Qinfeng said:
Many concepts are imposed on us by the outside world, including our perspective on childbirth, which comes from our parents. But we are the ones who are born, and the world doesn't care whether we want to be born or whether we live happily. I always find this phenomenon very contradictory.
In this book, the topics she discusses go further and the settings are bolder: from female emperors to reproductive technology, from same-sex marriage to the nature of the family, from the proposition of life autonomy to human free will... creating a dazzling but seemingly close-up dystopian scene, with a depth and ambition that goes beyond the topic.
⭐To be or not to be?
If we know that the future is bound to be difficult and painful, is our life still worth living? Can we still celebrate the beauty of life?
Facing the eternal question of Hamlet, responding with new-age novel creation might be something like "Birth Confirmation."
In the novel, birth or not is entirely up to the fetus's "self-determination." But does free will really exist?
At the same time, the fetus's strong desire to be born depends on the "difficulty" of its future life. But how should "difficulty" be measured?
Li Qinfeng writes a "brave new world" that is unique to our time - when "free will supremacy" is written into the law, the collusion between technology and the state apparatus makes all this still seem like an illusion.
As with the best literature, this book offers no answers to the questions about the nature and illusion of life, yet it nonetheless celebrates the nobility of life. Its Japanese title literally translates as "A Prayer for Life."
⭐Surreal aesthetics + imported pearlescent paper!
A small-format commuter book! It's easy to read in one sitting, yet leaves you with a complex and endlessly sweet aftertaste.
Designed by the well-known designer Xihe, the cover is printed on imported pearlescent paper and superimposed with light-sensitive UV technology; the text is made of smooth-grained book paper, which is easy to turn and does not yellow.
This small-format book is a light read for your commute, yet it can bring you a complex existentialist aftertaste.
【Recommendation】
This book hits the nail on the head with everything I've always wanted to say to others but haven't! It's shocking, unsettling, and agitating—but also reassuring. —Ryo Asai / Writer
