Starting with the emotional response of university students to Li Bai’s poems after watching the film “The Longest Day in Chang’an”, this paper delves into the concept of entropy and the principle of entropy increase. By introducing the origin and significance of entropy, the paper aims to elucidate the contents and connections of the three laws of thermodynamics. It further explores the implications of the principle of entropy increase on both life and everyday living. The paper reveals that the entire history of human evolution and the development of life is a narrative of combating entropy. To live a meaningful life, one must continuously strive against entropy, breaking free from comfort zones and maintaining self-discipline.
