"Hmm, 32, that's indeed a very young age. When I became the village chief, I was already 48, and now, I'm turning 60 this year, aren't I? Next month, I'll be stepping down, and just like that, over a decade has whizzed by, heh, it's really like a flick of a finger, isn't it?"
"Uncle Li, can we not beat around the bush here? I won't have time to chat with you later on—my patients here need me. What exactly do you mean? Just get to the point."
