Facing the stubborn Wu Linglan, Principal Mei Yiqi asked why he was studying. Wu said that as long as he was studying and giving himself to books, he felt at ease. Principal Mei asked, “What is authenticity?” Wu was puzzled.
Principal Mei said: “People immerse themselves in busyness and gain a numb sense of security, but lose authenticity. Your youth only has so many days.” Wu then asked what authenticity was.
