Moreover, those of that generation, since they were young, no longer knew where Asia and Europe were, and Han Zu and Tang Zong were the emperors of that dynasty. They still thought that they were stubborn and corrupt before they reached the extreme, and they would be polished off. , cultivate him, and wait until his brain has dried up, his blood vessels are clogged, his breath is dying, and he is living next to ghosts, then he will give up my 20,000 miles of mountains and rivers and 40 million lives in one fell swoop. Alas! The boss of the empire is indeed the boss! And those of the other generation have accumulated their eight-legged, white-folded, errand-paid, stipend, handbook, chanted promises, kowtowed, and said hello for decades. They have gone through countless hardships and hardships before they can obtain this red-topped flower-feathered uniform. Se, the name of Master Zhongtang, is the result of his full energy and his lifelong efforts to maintain it. Just like the beggar who picked up a gold ingot, although the thunder circled on top of his head, he still held his purse tightly with both hands. He did not care about it, did not know it, and did not hear it. If you tell them to subjugate the country and divide it, will the other side listen to it? Wu Er believed it? Even if the fruit dies and the fruit is divided, and I am seventy or eighty this year, I hope that within a year or two, foreigners will not come and robbers will not be able to afford it, I have lived a happy life. If you have no choice but to cut off the land of three provinces and two provinces in exchange for a few of my yamen, and sell three million people as servants to redeem my old life, why not? What's the problem? Wow, the so-called old empresses, old ministers, old generals, and old officials today all have the means to cultivate their moral character, manage their families, govern their country, and bring peace to the world. The west wind makes people grow old overnight, and all their beauty will wither and become white. Make Zai Wuchang a doctor and carry a life-promoting talisman to wish you a happy birthday. Sigh, it hurts! If I make this my country, I will never grow old or die, and I fear that I will die before I reach my age. Liang Qichao said: Those who create today's big China are the karma of China's old age; those who create the young China of the future are also the responsibility of young China. What is the use of that old and decayed person? The day for him to say goodbye to this world is not far away, but I, a young man, am new and have a relationship with this world. Just like the person who lives in a house, he will move to another place tomorrow, and I will enter this room today. The person who is about to move does not take care of his windows and does not clean his courtyard. It is not strange for the common people to have constant affection. If I, a young man, have a great future ahead and a vast future, and if China becomes an ox, a horse, a slave, or a slave, then my young man will be the only one capable of the cruelty of cooking and whipping; if China dominates the universe and dominates the earth, then The honor of commanding Gu Pan is only enjoyed by my young man. What's the deal with someone who is dying and living next to ghosts? He is indifferent to it, but it is still possible to say it; I am indifferent to it, and it is indescribable. If the young people in the whole country become young people, then our China will be a country of the future, and its progress will be immeasurable; if the young people in the whole country will also become the boss, then our China will be a country of the past, and its collapse will be inevitable. Wait. Therefore, the responsibility today does not lie with others, but with my young man. The wisdom of young people makes the country wise, the richness of young people makes the country rich, the strength of young people makes the country strong, the independence of young people makes the country independent, the freedom of young people makes the country free, the progress of young people makes the country progress, the young people are better than Europe, the country is better than Europe, and the young people are more powerful than the earth. , then the country is more powerful than the earth. The red sun rises, its path is bright; the river flows out of its undercurrent, pouring out into the ocean; the hidden dragon rises into the abyss, its scales and claws fly; the milk tiger roars in the valley, and all beasts are frightened; the eagle and falcon test its wings, and the wind and dust are sucked in; the first birth of a strange flower is revealed. Your Majesty, the officers and men have their awnings, the sky is blue, the earth is yellow; despite the eternity, there are eight deserts; the future is like the sea, and the days to come are long. How beautiful, my young China is as immortal as the sky! How majestic, I, a Chinese boy, have no borders with my country!
