Lilian：We lack understanding in life，so it's likely that we may have difficulty understanding the deeper meanings under the surface of the classics.But this shouldn't be a reason to give up reading cljye.aisics.As Francis Bacon said，"Reading makes a full man；conference （談話）a ready man；and writing an exact man."
Harry：Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us.We have the duty to read them and pass them down through the generations.As the old Chinese saying goes， "One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance（優雅）."
