Harry could have chosen to go on, but he didn't. He chose to go back, chose to take on Voldemort to try and destroy him, so the people and community he loved so fiercely could live better, safer, and more peaceful lives free from fear.
Because Voldemort took Harry's blood for the resurrection potion in Goblet of Fire , and took in Lily's enchantments, Lily's enchantments in Voldemort's blood kept Harry tethered to life as long as Voldemort was himself alive. Voldemort destroyed the piece of his soul when he cast Avada Kedavra on Harry in the forest with Lily's protections keeping Harry from being killed ; Harry did not kill that piece of Voldemort's soul. The piece of soul didn't protect Harry from death; the fact that both he and Voldemort shared Lily's protective enchantments kept Harry alive. So, no, the fact that Harry survived Avada Kedavra in the forest does not have to do with possessing a portion of Voldemort's soul.
It has to do with Harry being tethered to life through Voldemort and Lily's enchantments, and Harry's choice to no continue down the path of death at King's Cross.
This implies that since Harry is the true owner of the Elder Wand, killing curses directed at him from the Elder Wand simply won't work. Voldemort's soul-piece died for the same reason Voldemort died the next time he tried to kill Harry: As for the King's Cross scene mentioned in the other answer, at this point Harry can be considered to be unconscious.
I don't think we can take anything that happens when he's in this state to be factual, and we certainly shouldn't take it to be literal. At best, it's a cryptic spiritual experience; at worst, it's just a dream. Plus, there's too many questions about whether or not Harry is actually the master of Death; he dropped the stone, wasn't carrying the wand, and wasn't wearing the cloak.
This answer, on the other hand, is based on a direct quotation from the narrator , who is onmiscient and, to my memory, has never lied. Also, coming from this answer is a supporting quote from the author herself:.
Also, since Voldemort is using the Elder wand, which actually belongs to Harry, neither the Cruciatus or the killing curse work properly. The curse also disables Harry severely enough that he could have succumbed to death if he had chosen that path. So you could say it was partly Harry's decision that saved him, but it was the Elder Wand that gave him the choice in the first place.
Again, Voldemort violated deep laws of magic he did not understand, but there is more to it than that. Voldemort has unwittingly put a few drops of goodness back inside himself; if he had repented, he could have been healed more deeply than anyone would have supposed.
But, of course, he refused to feel remorse. He took into his body a tiny part of the enchantment your mother laid upon you when she died for you. The second part is that the Dark Lord used the Elder Wand, a wand that saw Harry as its master, againt Harry, so none of the spells he tried to cast on Harry worked. It does not work properly against its true owner; no curse Voldemort casts on Harry functions properly; neither the Cruciatus curse nor the Killing Curse. The curse also disables Harry severely enough that he could have succumbed to death if he had chosen that path again, Dumbledore says he has a choice whether or not to wake up.
However, the choices that both Harry and the Dark Lord had made had a large part in the final outcome of events.
Like hunters in a "dark forest", a civilization can never be certain of an alien civilization's true intentions. The extreme distance between stars creates an insurmountable "chain of suspicion" where any two civilizations cannot communicate well enough to relieve mistrust, making conflict inevitable. Therefore, it is in every civilization's best interest to preemptively strike and destroy any developing civilization before it can become a threat, but without revealing their own location, thus explaining the Fermi paradox.
Forced by the UN's successor organization to work for them, Luo Ji is given a project to track the other probes that will shortly enter the solar system. Project Snow is intended to create a screen across the solar system, which when crossed will reveal the trajectories of incoming probes.
Luo Ji quickly realizes the futility of this project, but throws himself into it anyway. Three years pass, and Luo Ji falls from favor and descends into alcoholism.
He travels to the grave of Ye Wenjie, the woman who first sent the message to Trisolaris and who told Luo Ji about the axioms of cosmic sociology. He digs his own grave and places a pistol to his heart. He then issues an ultimatum to the Trisolarans: He is wearing a biometric watch as a dead-man's switch , and has positioned the bombs of Project Snow such that they can selectively block light from the sun, creating a message that will broadcast to the galaxy the exact coordinates of Trisolaris and, by extension, Earth.

I think this is really important: In the flashback, Taylor is sitting with the Wall Breaker, who is very polite, and they discuss the war strategy for establishing an independent earth fleet and space weaponry development. Luoji was the only one of the Wall Facers to live differently during that time. Bill Haynes speaks first about his own strategic plan researching brain science, while Leidiyazi introduces his own strategic plan on some sort of star type nuclear warhead mathematical model.
