The old tend to worry, the young tend to enjoy pleasure.
The more worry, the more discouragement; the more pleasure, the more confidence.
The more discouragement, the more cowardice; the more confidence, the more heroism.
The more cowardice, the more carelessness; the more heroism, the more adventure.
The more carelessness, the more annihilation; the more adventure, the more creation.
The old people easily tire of things, while the young often find pleasure in things.
Tiredness results in people who think nothing is possible; Pleasure results in people who think everything is possible.
If the old are like the setting sun, the young a rising sun.
The old are like a lean ox, the young a tiger cub.
The old are like a monk, the young a heroic knight.
The old are like a dictionary, the young a play script.
The old are like opium, the young, brandy.
The old are like a falling meteorite, the young a coral island in the ocean.
The old are like a willow, the young the grass in spring.
The old man is a dead sea that retains, the young the source of the Yangtze River.
From this, we know that the aged and the young both have their own merits and uses."
With that, Zhang Ye summarized.
"If they cast away their prejudices and work together for the country, their services to the people shall be immense!"
Old people are cowards?
Old people hate the world?
Old people did not dare take risks?
Old people are like old oxen? They are like people taking in opium? They are like crashing celestial bodies?
There were many old professors and lecturers from Peking University present. The moment they heard this, they were all glaring with anger. No one liked hearing that!
Yan Jiantao was erupting with anger. The other elderly people were still fine, as they knew Zhang Ye's words were not directed at them, but these words were definitely scolding him, Yan Jiantao!
Su Na exclaimed in a daze, "Teacher Zhang is mad! Why is he scolding people?"
Professor Zeng excitedly slapped his thigh, "He isn't mad! He is also not scolding people!"
"But, but...there are words of contempt!" Su Na could not understand.
Professor Zeng chuckled and said, "If 'old people' like us can't even endure the words of contempt for the children, then we would truly be the type of people mentioned by Little Zhang! Nicely said, Little Zhang! This kid always broadens everyone's horizons every time he speaks!"
All the youths felt their blood boiling with excitement!
