The Elixir of Youth

Speaking to the microphones of 北京体育广播 (Běijīng Sports Broadcasting) on Saturday, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) argued that a goal is not worth pursuing without an enjoyment of life and living.

“I think young friends can’t help but embark on their journey to pursue their dreams, but at the same time they must not neglect the many beautiful views all around just because they are chasing their dreams”, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) said. “Although I’m only 30 years old, I feel that the last ten years flew by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, I’ve gone from a young college student to a thirty-year-old. Life is a very brief journey, indeed. We should enjoy it as much as possible, so as to live without leaving regrets”. Photo: LaiTimes.
