What they say

Experienced technicians in their 50s and 60s are treasures for enterprises. It would be such a waste of their skill and experience and a great loss for the enterprises if they retire early and just dance in the square. We hope the policy of postponing the retirement age could be issued as soon as possible. It will help ensure the skills of the experienced will be passed on to the next generation.

Our top-level cultural relics need first-class management and preservation. Where is the root of the traditional Chinese culture if we tear down all the relics? Our descendants would blame us.
