退休是一种贡献，有其特殊的价值和意义。从原来的岗位上退下来，既空出了职务又空出了职称，让较为年轻的同志补上去，这不是一种贡献？譬如我，原系大学教授，研究生导师，学科带头人，还有其他一些职务. 如今一退，名额的紧张状况便可缓和一点，提拔年轻学子的机会就增多一点，梯队建设规划（Planforteambuilding）即可顺利付诸实施。若能真正地认识这一点，便可获得一种充实感和欣慰感.

　Retirement has its contributions with special value and significance. When a person retires, his/her position and academic title will become available again, so that a younger person may take them up. Isn’t that a contribution? Take me for example, I was a professor from a university, a supervisor of postgraduate students, a leader in my field of research and so on. Now that I have retired, shortage of academic positions in my university can be eased a bit; some younger scholars may have one more opportunity of promotion, and the university plan for team building can be implemented smoothly. Those who came to see this point may have a feeling of living a full and satisfied life.
