Youth means vitality, creativity, and unlimited possibilities as well as future and hope. Young people have great potential and they will outperform their predecessors. Therefore, elders should treat, reward, and promote the younger generation with respect and an open mind. This is the norm for governing intergenerational relations established by Confucius (551–479 BC), a norm that has been observed by later generations. The view young people should be highly regarded contains hopes for the new generation and respect for the future. It also demonstrates a firm belief and optimism in the continuous advance of humanity and its future.
