Chapter 290: Seasons (Four Changes)
Read the following passage and answer the questions:
If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak about the old and young of the people. The elderly often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past is also nostalgia, thinking about the future is also hopeful, nostalgia is also conservative, only hope is enterprising, only conservative is eternal, only enterprising is new. Thinking about the past, everything is what it has done, so it is only known as usual, and thinking about the future, everything is what it has not done, so it often dares to break the rules. The old people are often worried, but the young people are always happy. Only sorrow is discouraged, only happiness is so magnificent, only discouragement is cowardly, only grandeur is heroic, only cowardice is reluctant, only bold is also risky, only reluctance can destroy the world, only adventure can create the world. The elderly are often tired of things, and the young people are often happy. But those who are tired of things often feel that everything is impossible, and those who are always aware of everything that cannot be done are good things. The old people are like the sunset, the young people are like the rising sun, the old people are like the barren ox, and the young people are like the milk tiger. The personality of this old man and the young man is very different, Liang Qichao said: People are inherent, and the country is also appropriate.
