Features: At forty, Chinese people often say one has reached the age of "not being confused anymore." I noticed that after reaching that age, people start paying attention to the meaning of life, the value of actions, and other issues now called "ultimate concerns." It's not that most people at this age think this way, but the proportion of those who do among people at this age is certainly much higher than among the young. This is also very natural. Young people don't have that extra time to engage in such luxurious thinking. Young people are very busy, facing many practical problems. It's exhausting to think about these things, and when they get a rare moment of free time, wouldn't it be better to have some fun? "Raise your cups and sing, for how long will life last?" For young people, the important thing is to establish their own position in the social coordinate system.
