70





In our new NTUMC class book, which is updated since thirteen years ago, “70” and “老” are the popular number or words. In the “感言” section, the classmates rush to share their “senior moments”, or their thoughts and feelings that are sometimes hard to communicate verbally.

Some submit their family photos revealing their 70th birthday celebrated by their children and grandchildren. Many of the classmates show no sign of slowing down at the grand age of 70. To them, 70 is just a number, just as the Google Web definition: “Seventy, being ten more than sixty”, or “ 70 (seventy) is the natural number following 69 and proceeding 71” per "Wiki". They think that “the best is yet to come”.

 Classmate ACW gives his best wish: "但願人長久, 千里共嬋娟”. Yet the general consensus of  classmates' 感言s is: “ 善待自已, 自求多福, Enjoy your golden years.”

    孔夫子曰: 三十而立 四十而不惑 五十而知天命 六十而耳順 七十從心所欲不逾矩

    孔夫人曰: 三十而立 四十還可以 五十感激不盡 六十毋(勿)忘在莒 七十而永垂不朽
