A toast at a friend's 80th birthday dinner.
Dear friends:

The ancients said, "Life is 70 years old." But I want to say, "Eighty is not unusual now." Tonight, everyone came to the moon and gathered here to celebrate exemptions' eighth birthday. At this moment, in this case, I present a pair of birthday couplets. First of all, I wish him a happy life: healthy and healthy in August, always in spring and autumn, and healthy and healthy in all seasons. (Show you the first couplet)

Brother Shi and I are fellow villagers. When we were young, we were very good playmates, with a friendship of * * *, and we were old friends who knew the root of the matter. I think, in our generation, he is an example for us to learn and follow.

He, a poor and ambitious man, was born in a poor family when he was a teenager, but he was very studious. With the support of his relatives, he finished normal school and went to the podium at the age of 16 to teach and educate people.

He, who dares to be the first, participated in the "Heroes' Meeting" of Hunan's cultural, educational and health system in his thirties and became a provincial model worker. At that time, there was a slogan in the provincial cultural and educational system-"Learn from Shi Qing, catch Shi Qing, catch Shi Qing, and go to Beijing", which is still in my ears, giving birth to infinite admiration.

He attaches great importance to feelings and justice. In the extremely "Left" era, he did not hesitate to blame himself, broke through all kinds of resistance, fell in love with a fellow countryman with a poor family and got married. He suffered cold reception and supercilious look, but he never regretted it.

He raised his children well. Although his life is hard and often bumpy, the five men he raised are all handsome, successful and hard-working, creating their own career world.

He remained the same and enjoyed peace and prosperity in his later years. He could have enjoyed his retirement, but he still worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. He lived a frugal life every day and remained clean and frugal after retirement.

Confucius said: Benevolence leads to longevity. I sum up that Brother Shi's longevity can be summarized by "four gains": "Suffer hardships, stand hard, endure hardships and endure hardships." As the saying goes, "you have to suffer to be a master." Brother Shi Qing worked hard all his life. Although he didn't become a "human", he became a "fairy among people". This is also a blessing from God. Good people are rewarded!

Philosopher Feng Youlan once said on his 85th birthday, "More than rice?" The stage is tea. "Tonight, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave this sentence to Brother Shi Qing, wishing him a long and healthy life. I hope and believe that when he celebrates "Mi Shou" and "Cha Shou" (Editor's Note: 88-year-old Mi Shou, 108-year-old Tea Shou), everyone can get together to celebrate the bright moon, invite the breeze, raise a glass to celebrate Nanshan Shou and drink for the Millennium.

Thank you! (Hu Mingbo)
