Recently, a 93-year-old high school student in Japan welcomed graduation. He said that he still wants to continue to study computer technology and plans to enter the university and study classical Chinese literature.
In this regard, netizens have talked about it...

93 years old only graduated from high school, such a person you must have never heard of.
According to Japan's "Tokyo Shimbun" reported on March 31, a 93-year-old grandfather named Tomoo Ugaya ushered in his high school graduation day.
The old man had white hair and smiled closely in the face of the media interview.
It is reported that Tsuaya went to Tokyo to work after graduating from the national school at the age of 14. After World War II, he worked as a company clerk and as a self-catering designer until he retired at the age of 85.
After his spare time, Umaya became more and more regretful about his unfinished studies when he was young, so he entered Shinjuku Yamabuki High School through correspondence studies in middle school.
Although it is a correspondence course, Tsuya visits the school every week to ask questions from the teachers. After his wife's death, Tsuaya lived alone, listening to radio lectures such as English every day, studying many kinds of courses such as politics, economics, mathematics, and physical education at school, and his favorite subject was calligraphy. Even under the COVID-19 pandemic, he persevered in learning with a positive and optimistic mindset.
Talking about his future plans, he said that he will continue to study computer technology in April and enter the university in the fall to study classical Chinese and Japanese literature.

The 93-year-old high school student, who is still Japanese, also likes Classical Chinese literature, and this news has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Some people admire the spirit of The Valley:
"Old Ji Futuo, determined to be in a thousand miles." It is also a blessing to have a wish in my lifetime. ”
"It's really a way to live to learn, a role model for my generation!"
"Life really has to keep pursuing, never be afraid of late."
More people turned their attention to the classical Chinese literature in the mouth of The Valley:
"Chinese culture is so profound that even Japanese grandfathers can't help but love it!"
"Chinese and Japanese cultures are of the same origin, and most Japanese people are very interested in ancient Chinese culture. The old man is so cute. ”
Indeed, many people in Japan are particularly interested in ancient China. For example, the culture of the Three Kingdoms, from anime to games, the culture of the Three Kingdoms has a large audience in Japan; for example, in the early days of the new crown epidemic, the materials sent to China by Japan read "Mountains and rivers are exotic, the wind and moon are in the same boat" - they also have a strong interest in ancient Chinese poetry.

Japanese masters at the age of 93 are yearning for classical Chinese culture, which tells us two truths:
First, Chinese culture itself is very attractive, we need to build cultural self-confidence from the psychological point, find a more "global circulation" point, in order to go wider and farther on the road of cultural export.
Second, we need to cultivate more and more extensively the chinese people's interest in traditional culture. If The Valley is a Chinese, let alone 93 years old, even if it is more than 40 years old, if one day he says that he wants to go to university to study classical Chinese culture, it is estimated that it is not a big hot news.
It can be seen that we also need to create a more intense traditional cultural fever.
However, on this road, we must avoid being complacent and blindly self-congratulatory. Therefore, for this 93-year-old Japanese who loves classical Chinese culture, we do not need to pay too much attention and read too much.
Only by not being humble can we show our true colors.
