Talking about his understanding of youth, Wang Lao said with deep affection: "1949, New China was founded. In today's words, our group of' post-30s' has just entered adolescence, and so has our motherland. In that environment, we are full of hope, happiness and simple beliefs about everything. As I wrote in my novel,' All the days are so beautiful!' But when I grew up, I gradually realized that people also had a very negative outlook on youth. For example, Milan Kundera, a Czech writer, thinks that youth makes people too fond of fantasy, unrealistic and easy to do stupid things. I have been writing the song of youth for 57 years. I think long live youth is not enough. We should cultivate it slowly and accumulate our own experience. Embracing youth requires not only romance, but also enough knowledge, wisdom and patience. "

"There are no peanut beans with teeth, and there are no teeth with peanut beans." In "Some Suggestions for Contemporary Young People", Wang Meng, who is humorous, quoted lines from "Teahouse" to compare people's different states in youth and old age. "Peanut beans are objective conditions, such as knowledge, experience, patience and even self-defense ability, which will gradually accumulate with age. Therefore, we can't look down on the elderly, otherwise we will have passion and ideas and become shallow and ignorant. People of all ages have their loveliness, so they should learn more and communicate more. "

In a warm and relaxed atmosphere, a post-90 s college student boldly questioned how young people can shout out long live youth and enjoy the beauty of youth in today's society with high housing prices and high pressure. Wang Meng said with a smile: "Don't set your ideals too low like seaweed in Dwelling House, and don't idealize everything, and don't give up the pursuit of beautiful ideals easily. I can only write a mansion for you in literature, but I believe that you will all have your own land when you accumulate slowly. " He also revealed that he lived in a humble residence until he was fifty years old.

Wang Meng, once nicknamed "old boys" by Tie Ning, repeatedly told a group of over-realistic young people that young people in every era have their own "Long live youth", but they should stick to their own bottom line. Whether it is youth, ideal or love, we should not only take material as the standard, but should stick to our own spirit, be down-to-earth and realize our own value step by step.

Wang Meng has a modern vision that college students should master three skills: driving, skillfully operating computers and mastering a foreign language. "But you can't have three good habits or three hundred or three thousand. I hope that 57 years later, when you return to campus like me and look back on your youth, you can feel full, satisfied and worthy of yourself, and then you can also get your own' youth'! "
