I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the Earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the Earth.

Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the Earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.

By the year 2200, the Earth's water was completely polluted. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the Earth. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体).

So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution. Wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.

 By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the Earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere and everywhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our spaceships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.

So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

The ancient Chinese educator Confucius (孔子) often traveled through all the stales, teaching. 

One day, he took his carriage (四轮马车) and went out on one of these journeys. Seeing a child in the middle of the road, he asked the driver to stop. Confucius said to the child, "Could you please give way to my carriage?" The child didn't answer. Confucius asked again and the child pointed at a small castle (城堡) made of mud (泥) on his own behind himself, saying, "Can't you see that there is a castle here? I only heard of carriages going around castles. I've never heard of castles giving way to traffic." Confucius was really surprised and said, "At such a young age, you seem to know quite a lot."

The child raised his head and looked directly at Confucius. He said, "I heard fish can swim as soon as they are born. Rabbits can run on the third day after birth. You see, age doesn't make a difference." Hearing this, Confucius felt the child's words were right and said, "Oh, young people today are really fantastic." Then he asked the carriage driver to go around the child's castle. 

Later, people use "Hou Sheng Ke Wei" to mean that young people should be considered with respect (尊重) because they are full of new and creative ideas. Sometimes they will often be better than the old.
