唐代著名诗人李商隐有句名言:“历览前贤国与家,成由勤俭败由奢。”勤俭节约是中华民族的传家宝。今年“两会”期间,某报社记者在采访全国政协委员梁从诫时发现,这位72岁高龄的历史学教授所使用的名片,竟是最薄、最简陋的,是“随处可见的一张废纸”;他擦手时所使用的也不是时髦的纸巾,而是近年来已很少有人使用的手帕。 The famous poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty famously said: “Looking at the former honourable countries and homes, Cheng Di was defeated by the extravagance.” Diligence and thrift are the heirlooms of the Chinese nation. During the “two sessions” this year, when a reporter from the newspaper interviewed Liang Cangyi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the 72-year-old history professor used a business card that was the thinnest and simplest. It was a piece of waste paper that was everywhere. “His hands are not trendy paper towels, but handkerchiefs that have rarely been used in recent years.”
