In accordance with the theory on the value of human life, the so-called human beings are in fact the living creature that pursues its own life values and advances towards the gradual realization of the meaning of life, and the so-called human life refers to the special existing characteristic displayed when value surpass is naturally pursued by human beings on the basis of their physical natural.

We should, on the basis of a good understanding of the value of life, try to relieve death anxiety, to give up the suicide attempt, to understand and accept the meaning of life. In one word, we should make every effort to "rest peacefully and romantically on the earth with great achievements and merits".The fifth chapter explores ways to give instructions on understanding the value of human life. In accordance with the theory on the value of human life, listening should be considered as the premise attitude to take when lecturing on the value of life. Communication should be used as the basic strategy for teaching the value of life. Advancing shoulder to shoulder should be employed as a dynamic process of life value education.All in all, on the basis of building an initial ontology of the value of human life, this thesis examines the root causes of the alienation of human life and current patterns, expresses fundamental concerns on the protection of individual life value, and explores ways to give instructions on the value of human life. Without an intension of providing a ready answer to the issues on the value of human life, this thesis holds that the true value of human life exists on the road to pursue the value of life.
