Black doesn't know how to study hard early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late.

Midnight is the best time for boys to study every day. When they are young, they should know how to study hard and study hard. But if you only play and don't study hard, you will regret why you didn't study hard when you were young. I didn't regret why I didn't know to study hard when I was young until I was old.
