  "As a young man in the new era, I feel that we must have faith, dreams, and dedication, and strive to be the tide of the times."

  "When people come, they have to leave a little bit of something. They can't keep the spirit of the red fire, and it's good to leave a little bit of positive and kindness."

  "I want to use voice and words to convey love and hope, and become a dancer who dances on the blade of life."

  16-year-old Jiang Zhang Ziyi is a high school student at Shangrao Middle School in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province.

Ten years ago, when she was only 6 years old, she lost her legs in a car accident, but this did not obliterate her faith in life and vision for the future.

  Now, in order to be able to go to school, Jiang Zhang Ziyi's mother rides an electric car to take her to school every day.

In school, when she is inconvenient to move, except for the help of teachers and classmates, she can basically rely on skateboarding to move forward with both hands proficiently.

  Entering high school life, Jiang Zhang Ziyi, who once loved dancing, decided to focus on his studies, and gradually fell in love with broadcasting and writing.

On the occasion of the May Fourth Youth Day, Jiang Zhang Ziyi wrote this text and recorded a section of her youth confession with her mobile phone.

Jiang Zhang Ziyi's youthful confession

  Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Zhang Ziyi and I am 16 years old this year.

In 2005, I was born in an ordinary family in Shanghe Village, Huangbai Township, Dexing City, Jiangxi Province. I am now a high school student in Shangrao Middle School in Jiangxi Province.

  Ten years ago, when I was only 6 years old, I lost my legs in a car accident.

I'm still young and I can't understand what my parents are arguing and worrying about. I just think the smell of the hospital is unpleasant, which is not as good as home.

  "Then go home." Mother said.

With the permission of the doctor and in order to catch up with the school curriculum as soon as possible, I returned home as I wished forty-two days after admission.

  I am too young to understand the meaning of amputation, but I still feel pain every day.

  My mother felt that staying at home every day was not a way, but at my request, she went to the school to give feedback on the situation, which gave me a chance to learn.

  I don't know how much effort my mother took, but I only know that I can study again and she is very happy.

  But the first thing I did when I went back was to face the strange eyes of my classmates.

I was very scared, and retreated many times in my heart.

Class was okay, but after class was whispering and giving pointers, I was less than six years old at the time.

  So my mother encouraged me and told me that, in fact, I was no different from ordinary people, just as beautiful and cute.

I was skeptical, and reluctantly nodded.

  In my mind, in terms of being beautiful and cute, it is still the cutest in the first place in the dance competition on TV.

Dancing, warm and cheerful, very dazzling.

  This can be regarded as the front edge of my relationship with dance.

  By chance, my father helped me sign up for the Children's Talent Competition, saying that it would be good to see the world.

  Is it true that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or do I really love that dazzling moment?

I became the cutest one and unexpectedly took the first place.

  During that period of time, the process was very long, and it was hard to say.

Leaving my hometown, my mother took me to dance alone, and was even pushed to the front line-dancing with me.

  Vomiting, sore feet from the mat, and poor balance. Various problems have become our difficulties. Losing our legs makes these difficulties even more difficult.

  Fortunately, I have my mother.

She has always encouraged and accompany me. Although she is not good at singing and dancing, she is good at making her children happy and hopes her children will be happy. She feels that there is nothing to sacrifice.

  It is also because of this competition that I have gained a lot of love from people from all walks of life, and even have the opportunity to come to Shangrao to learn dance and broadcasting.

  I am now sixteen years old.

  After becoming a high school student, I got up at 6:20 every day for dinner and went to school with my mother.

The inconvenient things are solved by skateboarding. Here, the teachers and classmates care about and help me.

  Entering high school life, compared with junior high school, academic status and mentality will be more positive and uplifting.

In terms of life, I can't talk about more independence, but I feel and feel the spirit of not abandoning and not giving up.

  Looking back, I still feel that my mother and myself at that time are worthy of my admiration.

Because I never give up, I am always confident and cute.

Will give up everything to pursue for the sake of desires and ideals; will sacrifice my time and energy for the daughter's dreams, and then lightly and indifferently say that you are happy.

  In my heart, when it comes to being beautiful and cute, my mother is still the cutest.

  As a young man in the new era, I feel that we must have faith, dreams, and dedication, and strive to be the tide of the times.

When people come here, they have to leave something behind. They can't keep the spirit of the red fire, and it's good to leave a little positive and kindness.

  Today, more than a hundred years ago, the countless youths of the Chinese nation who were resented by China’s humiliation at the negotiating table, and distressed by the precarious wind and rain and unprecedented crisis, determined to twist into a rope, knock on the door to independence and freedom, and asked. "Where is China going?" crying bitterly, "Struggling for sovereignty abroad, punishing national thief internally."

  They only rely on their thin bodies to carry the backbone of this nation.

They have also become the backbone of the rapid rise of this nation-the "backbone of China."

  Youth lasts forever because of constant pursuit.

During his spare time, Jiang Zhang Ziyi will go to the school's broadcasting room once a week to broadcast programs for the whole school.

  As a young man in the new era, I want to use voice and words to convey love and hope, and I want to be a dancer who dances on the cutting edge of life.

When it's not as good as you want, I carefully consider the shining May Fourth spirit of the ancestors and look back at their enthusiasm and strength; in positive moments, embrace life and love life, and forever engrave the spiritual traditions of the ancestors like a raging fire.
