Wearing Nung clothes,

Hand holding a rattan stick,

Mouth holding a smokeless cigarette,

Long beard, both white and black,

Agile like a young man...

The old man smiled and waved to the person waiting to greet him.

…

He said, people heard every word clearly –

"Want the revolution to succeed quickly!

We must unite like a bundle of chopsticks...!”.”
