The Lord Of The Rings (books and movies) are easily among the most beloved and influential stories in Western popular culture. But if you know nothing about them, it's all good! Ricky's got your back and we'll have a great discussion!

What does it mean to be truly devoted to a cause or duty? How do characters’ devotion to their duty, families, missions and agendas lead to death, drama, glory and more?  How do our own devotions lead us in certain direction in our lives?

How do different cultures and stories reflect the idea of loyalty and sacrifice for the greater good? Whether you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings or completely new to the story, this discussion will explore these timeless themes across cultures and literature.

Let's have a thoughtful conversation hosted by Ricky, where we’ll dive into The Lord of the Rings and focus on the powerful theme of devotion to duty. Ricky will guide us and share key characters and moments from the story that highlight this theme, while also inviting you to reflect on how duty and loyalty are depicted in Chinese stories or other cultural narratives. Whether you’re familiar with Middle-earth or simply interested in discussing universal ideas of honour and sacrifice, let's have an engaging and thought-provoking conversation! Let's explore, share, and connect together!

《指环王》（书籍和电影）无疑是西方流行文化中最受喜爱和最具影响力的故事之一。但如果你对它一无所知，也没关系！Ricky会为你解答所有疑问，带领我们进行一场精彩的讨论！

真正忠于一个事业或责任意味着什么？角色们对职责、家庭、使命和目标的忠诚如何引发死亡、戏剧性冲突、荣耀等结果？而我们自己对某些责任的忠诚又是如何引领我们的生活方向的？

不同的文化和故事如何反映忠诚和为更大利益而牺牲的观念？无论你是《指环王》的粉丝，还是对这个故事完全陌生，这场讨论将探讨这些跨越文化和文学的永恒主题。

让我们在Ricky的引导下进行一次深思熟虑的对话，深入探讨《指环王》中的强大主题——对责任的忠诚。Ricky将为我们分享故事中的关键角色和时刻，展示这一主题，同时也邀请你反思在中国故事或其他文化叙事中，责任和忠诚是如何展现的。无论你是否熟悉中土世界，还是只是对荣誉和牺牲的普世观念感兴趣，让我们一起参与一场引人深思的讨论！让我们共同探索、分享和交流！
