Song Lyrics

The Pride of Being Old - Dedicated to Old Friends Author: Mao Han. Spring says, summer is old, summer says, autumn is old, autumn says, Winter is the time to get old! Is winter getting old? Winter smiled faintly.

Having the dream of beautiful spring, the embrace of enthusiastic summer, and the harvest of rich autumn, the experienced winter believes: there is always pride in being old!

Without the childishness of spring, the impetuousness of summer, and the bustle of autumn, winter is so peaceful, calm, and carefree!

Without the pressure of studies, without the hard work of making a living, without the temptation of fame and fortune, life is so calm, real and beautiful!

Life begins with retirement, friends - every day is a festival, every day is a holiday, every day is a weekend, every day is a free day!

Every day is a fashion festival, every day is a food festival, every day is a tourism festival, and every day is Valentine’s Day!

Life is like a book, the older it becomes, the wiser it becomes; life is like a song, the older it becomes, the more sentimental it becomes; life is like a painting, the older it becomes, the more connotative it becomes; life is like a song, the older it becomes, the more connotative it becomes; Jar wine, the older it gets, the better it tastes!

The dream of spring continues, the enthusiasm of summer continues, and the harvest of autumn continues. What will no longer continue is only confusion, anxiety and trouble.

Young friends, are you a little envious of us and our time-honored brands?

Don’t be anxious, don’t be impatient, after completing your respective life experiences, each of you will get a ticket to the senior citizen club!
