Someone who has lost everything

This is a story about a person searching for utopia. Anarres and Urras are twin planets, both inhabited by humans.

One person, in pursuit of an ideal, flees Anarres and goes to the ideal world of Urras. There, however, he discovers another cruel reality. Caught between reality and ideals, where should he go?
