Are you really going to save two old newspapers, and then take them out when you're old to tell your grandchildren: 'Back in the day...'?
Others might have this hobby, but Qiao Yu feels that as long as he remains awesome when he's old, he doesn't need to say those three words 'Back in the day...'.
After all, only the weak need to reminisce about past glories.
It's just like when his grandfather drinks with friends, whenever someone at the table starts with those three words, his grandfather would say: 'Keep it to yourself, there are kids here, what do you want to reminisce about! I only believe those rotten folks in prison with real stories. The rest of us old guys, our 'back in the day' stories were only of being dirt poor!'
Although his grandfather's words were rough, Qiao Yu always thought his beloved grandfather was a philosopher, and those seemingly crude words of his always reflected deeper truths. Even his emphatic curses had a certain charm.
