AB - The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of finding his identity by the protagonist in three Chinese science fiction films using the philosophy of the Western philosopher Levinas, and to explore the crisis of modern civilization and its alternatives. The real-life theme covered by 『Crazy Alien』 is animal rights. The movie criticizes human brutality through the mouths of aliens who were mistaken for monkeys. 『Yes, I Do!』 deals with a young generation whose social relationship has been cut off. The main character is a young man who has no proper job or future and avoids dating. A female robot from the future was cold on the outside, but she approaches with warm reason inside. Her story symbolizes altruism, and a person can acquire self-identity through altruism. 『Journey to the West』 showed the process of an irresponsible person being reborn as a father. The child is both a different being and me. Being a father is related to this strange being – a child. The father recovers himself through his children.
