The Western civilization should accept the teaching of the Chinese philosophers. The reason for this is that when a baby is born, the baby is already one year old!
So, when you ask a Chinese for his age, he will ask you Chinese age or non-Chinese age?
It is too bad the Koreans forgot their Chinese heritage.
