China News Entertainment, Beijing, May 4th (Liu Yue) Today is the May Fourth Youth Day.

A hundred years ago, Mr. Li Dazhao wrote to the young people at that time in "New Youth": "The civilization of youth is the civilization of struggle, struggle with the situation, struggle with the times, and struggle with experience."

  The stars have changed, and generations of Chinese youth have passed through the prosperous years, and they have also written different footnotes for their own youth.

Post-60s

"Looking at success or failure in life is just starting from scratch"

  Mr. Liu, born in 1965 from Nanning, Guangxi, is now a manager of a manufacturing company.

He used the lyrics of Liu Huan's "Start Over" to describe his youth, "Looking at success or failure, life is heroic, it's just starting all over again".

  "This lyric sums up my mentality from youth to the present." Mr. Liu did not take the college entrance examination that year. After graduating from junior high school, he entered a technical secondary school and was assigned to a large state-owned enterprise to engage in technical work: "I spent more than ten years in a state-owned enterprise. In 2008, the company restructured and ushered in a wave of layoffs. At that time, it was the outlet of reform and opening up. I was a little confused and a little entangled. I wanted to have a very stable job and wanted to start a business. Later, in order to reflect my life value, I resigned and went to sea, Start all over again."

  Mr. Liu has experienced countless falls and stood up countless times.

At the most difficult time, he worked as a driver for three months of motorcycles, just to save for his daughter's tuition.

Talking about those years, he now has a happy family and children, and he is very grateful for his past struggles.

  At that time, many people made the same choice as him.

Mr. Liu believes: "We, the post-60s generation, hope that through our own efforts, we can learn a skill. Those who work in the unit are hard-working and dedicated; the other wave of people who do not have a fixed occupation are very adventurous. . This is the look of our generation."

  When it comes to contemporary youth, Mr. Liu said: "Integrity, motivation, and diligence are qualities that young people must have."

Post-70s

  "

Let's hope tomorrow will be better"

  When I received a call from the reporter, Teacher Zhang, a junior high school Chinese teacher, was correcting the exam papers in the office.

She has been rated as an excellent class teacher every year. She is anxious about the upcoming high school entrance examination: "This year's children are too partial." Senior, responsible and experienced, this Tao has been standing on the podium for more than 30 years. When I was young, I worked hard for my dreams.

  "I was graduating from secondary school at that time, and after working for seven or eight years, I took the ordinary college entrance examination again." While writing hard in the college entrance examination room, Teacher Zhang was still pregnant, "When I went to take the college entrance examination, I was pregnant for five months. Big child. Many people say, you are already married and have children, why go to school? A waste of time.”

  Teacher Zhang is very grateful for his perseverance.

After graduating from college, in order to prepare for the job exam, she took her children to review while she did not sleep: "I remember my daughter slept in the same room with me at that time. In order not to disturb her, I didn't dare to turn on the light in the room, so I went to the toilet to read. She was surprised when she woke up. My daughter was young at the time, maybe she didn't understand that studying is a very difficult thing."

  Teacher Zhang said that the social atmosphere at that time was very good: "At that time, young people basically participated in sports in their spare time, and seldom went to bars and dance halls outside. Everyone was relatively simple, living a simple life, having a peaceful mind, and being serious and responsible for their work. , with hope for the future.”

  She believes that the song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" can well represent the youth of the post-70s: "The future and life will get better and better, and tomorrow will be even better. This song reflects the pursuit and longing of the post-70s for ideals. I also hope that contemporary young people can be active and motivated and devote themselves to work and life with the highest enthusiasm."

80's

  "

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?"

  Twenty years ago, Nurse Pang was just an ordinary nurse.

  "I was working in intensive care in neurosurgery when I first graduated. At that time, a child who was only three or four years old suffered a cerebral hemorrhage because of a fall and was in a coma for several days." At that time, nurse Xiao Pang, who was in her early twenties, was in charge of the observation. Nursing him, "I will wash his face and body, and observe his pupils every half an hour. Although he does not respond, I will insist on chatting with him. Later, on the fifth day, this critically ill child opened his eyes. , woke up. At that moment, I felt that my work was very meaningful."

  At that moment, Nurse Pang seemed to hear the sound of life blooming again.

Since then, her determination to save lives has become stronger and stronger.

In 2003, she took the initiative to apply to participate in the fight against "SARS"; in 2020, she stepped on the train to aid Hubei again. "At that time, Wuhan was in urgent need of medical staff. I have fought against SARS before. With such experience, I should assume such a responsibility."

  From oneself to others, the post-80s young people in Nurse Pang's heart have a youth background called "responsibility and tenacity": "Our generation's living conditions are not as good as those of the post-90s and 00s, so they are more resilient. We bear a lot of pressure, and we first find our own reasons when encountering problems, not so extreme, and have a strong sense of responsibility.”

  She shared a classic inspirational song "Sailor" that grew up with the post-80s generation - "He said that this pain is nothing in the wind and rain, don't be afraid to wipe away your tears, at least we still have dreams".

Head Nurse Pang said that the contemporary young people in her mind should be aggressive, aggressive and resilient. "They are in much better conditions now, and they can use their advantages to train themselves to be stronger, and be a little more 'rolling' on the existing basis. ."

Post-90s

"It was as pure as the plain face back then."

  "Resolutely oppose involution." The post-90s girl Xiao Chen Qinglang's laughing voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was shouting with Nurse Pang across the air.

  Perhaps as Nurse Pang said, the thinking of the post-90s and post-00s is very different from that of previous generations.

Xiao Chen teaches in a high school in a township and is recognized by students as the "most individual" teacher; in the eyes of some relatives and friends, Xiao Chen is a bit "salted fish".

  After returning from studying abroad, she is full of talents and has a bright future. She chose to quit her job in a big city and returned to her hometown to live a dull life of two points and one line: "At that time, I returned from studying in Guangdong and worked hard in Guangdong, and I tried very hard to express myself, but the stronger the ability, the more commitment. More responsibility."

  Last year, Xiao Chen's relatives died suddenly. Because of the epidemic, she couldn't come back as soon as possible: "After that, I think life is more important than money." This episode of life prompted Xiao Chen to leave home and become a professional A young man from a small town: "Whether it's studying abroad or resigning and going home, I have encountered incomprehension from the people around me. I think other people's words can be used as a reference, but the person who makes the decision is still me, and I let my heart make the choice. "

  Xiao Chen realizes that people of different ages think differently: "The post-60s, 70s, and 80s lived in relatively difficult times, but the post-90s are different. The world of young people is broader, and the wealth of material life makes us pay more attention to spirituality. The abundance of the world. It is also a manifestation of social progress.”

  Different from the previous painting style, Xiao Chen shared a song "Su Yan" by Xu Song. She laughed and said that this is a lot of youth born in the 90s: "In those days, when the plain face was facing the sky, it was as pure as possible." At the same time, she also I hope that young people who are fledgling can keep their inner purity and affirm their self-worth.

"Run forward and keep running with the pride of a child"

  "There are still 41 days before the college entrance examination. The mock test scores came out a few days ago, and I am 39 points away from my ideal college score." The last interviewee, Xiao Zhong, is working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination.

On the phone, the teenager encouraged himself with a childish voice: "Give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, I think I can do it!"

  The idea of ​​this post-00 boy can be described as "weird and cute".

He wanted to drop out of school to play e-sports, but his parents seized the equipment (a smartphone) before he left the house, and he almost liked to mention a mixed doubles; his childhood dream was to become a basketball player, and he lost to height.

He laughed at himself, "I can't even touch the rebound when I jump up."

  Talking about the special features of the post-00s, the teenager who was determined to study hard gave this answer: "I think we are all patriotic and more confident. When we see the five-star red flag dropped on the road, we will pick it up. Hang it up again, and you won't feel how round the foreign moon is."

  Xiao Zhong's favorite song is "Chasing the Dream of a Child", "Keep running, with the pride of a child".

He believes that the patriotism of the post-00s stems from the strength of the motherland: "We were born in a very good era, everything is prosperous and full of vitality, and our family and country feelings are very strong. We do not worship foreigners, but we will not put foreign It's useless to belittle them. We have to learn their advanced technology, advanced ideas, and learn from each other's strengths. This is true self-confidence."

  The world is beyond my generation.

In Xiao Zhong's view, loving the motherland, life, and learning is what contemporary young people should look like most.

  A generation has a long march for a generation, and a generation has the responsibility of a generation.

Although young people of different eras have different attitudes to life and struggle goals, the spiritual core is the same in different ways.

  The post-60s are dedicated and hard-working, the post-70s are hardworking, enterprising and brave, the post-80s are self-sacrificing and responsible, the post-90s are self-aware and spiritual, the post-00s are hard-working and home-country...

  Songs of youth sang different melodies in different eras, but they all converged into the core content of the May Fourth spirit in the end.

This is - "patriotic, progressive, democratic, scientific".
