As we grow older, those of us who were born in the 1960s and 1970s have unknowingly entered the age of forty, when we are no longer confused, or even fifty when we know our destiny. In these aging years, you will find that it is easier for us to recall the most romantic childhood days that are far away. When people of the same age gather together, they no longer point out the country with high spirits, but collectively recall so many of our past and past events, and then invariably sigh with emotion: Alas! We are all old. However, we were once young and we were romantic.
