How to staying alive just for sake of living could be the meaning of life?
Note "meaning of" "life".
Thus the striving to stay alive is the
basic meaning of 'life'.
I know what you are saying but that is not the meaning that I am looking for.

The next task is how to make life more meaningful by understanding the basic mechanisms of life and align with the mechanisms to avoid sufferings, optimize pleasure and a sense of peace.
Peace is good but provided that there is a meaning to it.

There are many other variables to life and the meaning of life up of the levels of peak performances and achievements etc. to be optimized according to one's physiological and psychological state within one's environment.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one's sense of time.
Apparently you seem to be seeking merely a single variable to represent 'what is the meaning of life' and you will never find a meaningful life.
You will never find one if you don't look for it.
Your OP is destined to fail.
How can you find "it" if you don't know what you are looking for?
Are you familiar with
Meno's Paradox, in particular this line;
- "If you don't know what you're looking for, inquiry is impossible. "
Whatever the meaning or fact, it has to be conditioned and qualified to some specific Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK].
For example, what is meaning to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, sociology, anthropology, mathematics, logic, politics, legal, customs, traditions, language, etc. has to be qualified within its specific FSK.
In this case, you need to qualify what is the Framework and System and Knowledge of 'What is life' specific to yours' or a groups' expectations before you can establish what is the meaning of life.
Note in your OP, nothing is specified clearly.
To go somewhere, you need to at least state some compass point and the specific variables, else yours will be a never-ending search.
Even in Science, you have to start with some hypothesis, then prove whether it is right and if wrong to change the variables in the hypothesis or abandon it.
I have tried to impute by sense of rationality into your question but you're just not receptive to anything rational.
To be more credible you have to ensure your conclusions are verified empirically and justified with sound philosophical reasonings.
In your case, your seeking is 'infected' with Meno's Paradox and you will forever be lost in this pursuit.
