From the Paper:

"The characters in Man's Fate each have their flaws and secrets, and these mirror those seen in humanity as a whole. As Ch'en murders for the first time, he fears for his own soul and sanity, and these fears allow him to complete the suicide bombing with such apparent exuberance. Ferral, in contrast, possesses a primal need for control that he acts out upon everything around him. Old Gisor's addiction to opium and his love for his son underlie his own emotions and actions, while Kyo's behavior stems from his patriotism and drive to fulfill his people's cause. Katov sacrifices himself in order to relive the suffering of his comrades before his own."
