Speech at the conference on cadre education
I'm sorry for my ignorance. The first time I saw this old saying was a speech in Mao Zedong (Speech at the Education and Mobilization Conference of On-the-job Cadres in Yan 'an). At that time, I felt heroic, comparable to Cao Cao's "old horse, strong mountains and rivers", and a vigorous vitality and combat effectiveness surged out. Later, I checked the source of this old saying online, and there was no exact source. There is a saying that Confucius began to travel around the world at the age of 55, lobbying kings with his disciples and promoting Confucianism. He stayed abroad for 13 years, and didn't return to his hometown Qufu until he was 68 years old. He wrote books, educated and rejuvenated the country, and created Yi Zhuan and Chunqiu, which finally became a model for later generations.

Five thousand years of China, the vast soup, the bright Milky Way, such as Confucius saints, such as aunts, are, after all, a few people, and ordinary people are a little "dissatisfied with their old age", which broadens the boundaries of life. Can you still be a mountain tiger at the age of 55? Chairman Mao gave us a method of cultivation, that is, constant "learning" and mental metabolism.

Chairman Mao talked about why we should study.

One is to lead the revolution without learning or skill. Learning is not only book knowledge, but also the summary and sublimation of social practical experience. If you lead and direct like a fly, you will be in a hurry. Therefore, Chairman Mao has knowledge of leadership and strategic strategy. The second is to overcome the defects of work and avoid panic. Just like a shop, there are not many things. Once sold out, it will have to close down. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase goods and reserve granaries in order to make steady progress. Third, learning helps to build a big and strong party with fighting capacity. If you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be immune. We are all the cells and bodies of the party. Only when the cells are full and of good quality can they thrive.

What are you studying? Chairman Mao also made three points.

First, systematic and practical learning, not scattered and empty learning. My understanding is roughly as follows: institution is institution. If you are interested in history, you must know something about the 5,000-year-old system in history, tell stories, understand the cause and effect of historical events, and have a basic point of view, instead of saying that the "Chen Qiao mutiny" only knew the yellow robe and didn't know the historical background and reasons at that time. Practical learning is thinking after learning. Allusions are not only stories, but also thought-provoking. For example, before the "three factions divided into Jin", how did the kingdom of Chile perish, and what enlightenment did the problems of wisdom and Yao being king have for us now? In this way, learning will no longer be empty. The second is critical summary. The more you learn and broaden your horizons, the more you will not stick to a point of view, and you will learn to criticize and summarize. Sima Qian mentioned the choice of "virtue" and "talent" in Zi Tong Zhi Jian, which makes sense at first reading. Later, I read Bai Yang's "Learning from the Same Resources as a Mirror" in the vernacular, and he commented on a view on the use of talents under a sound legal system, which was refreshing. At this point, I suddenly understand that reading more books can expand the dimension of thinking and not be too narrow. This may be a key summary. The third is to master the characteristics and laws of national wars, study the Party's policies regularly, and integrate theory with practice. Practice produces true knowledge, and theory guides practice. From ancient times to the present, these are all examples that we need to learn.

How to study? Chairman Mao gave two words, "squeeze" and "drill".

During the war years, the war raged and the situation was changeable, so it was not easy to learn real numbers. Nowadays, in peacetime, economic development waits for no one. Many young people are fighting nonstop in the workplace, so that they just want to lie down after work and have no time to recharge. But I still have to listen to Chairman Mao's words and try to "squeeze". The road is long, and there is no end to learning. In addition to "prescribed actions", life will be more interesting if you engage in some "optional actions" that suit you.

Today, Chairman Mao's insights are still shining and thought-provoking. When you are young, you should buy more goods and store more, so as not to die early, which is boring.
