What Does the Republic of China Look Like? Old Photos of Talented Scholars and Beauties
The Republic of China, what does it look like to you?
Padded cheongsam, fluttering tassels,Or the extravagant splendor of a beauty's thousand-flower arrangements?
Or the legendary stories from the small Western-style teahouses,Or the golden sunsets in the old streets?
Let us revisit that golden age,
Peering through old photos,
Engaging in conversation with renowned scholars,
Paying homage to the bygone glories!
▵ Xu Zhimo
Many years ago, when I boarded the train,
I hadn't realized,
that my hometown no longer had springs and autumns, only winters.
The noise was theirs, and I had nothing.
▵ Lu Xun
When I am silent, I feel fulfilled,
When I speak, I feel empty.
Always like this, and then what?
▵ Liang Qichao
Life must be responsible and earnest,
Only then can you appreciate the joy of fulfilling your duties.
▵ Lin Yu Ting
Life is fleeting, cherish it,
Be your own protagonist,
Don't always play a supporting role in others' dramas.
In life,
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we let others laugh.
▵ Hu Shi
The meaning of life is how we look at life,
Afraid of the truth being boundless,
Every inch gained is a joy.
▵ Qian Zhongshu
A young man hasn't become extravagant until he's 20,
When he's 30 and still extravagant,
he's a failure.
▵ Chen Yinke
The spirit of university lies in,
Independent spirit,
Free thinking.
