Eighty years ago, in order to drive away the darkness, strive for the light, and strive for the independence and prosperity of the motherland, a group of high-spirited young people wrote the most magnificent song of youth and drew the most magnificent picture of youth with their blood and lives.
Today, the May 4th Movement has entered the history of the Chinese nation as a glorious page. However, the May 4th Movement is not only a historical event, but also a spirit, which shows young people's ardent love for our nation, their concern for the future and destiny of the country, and their responsibilities and missions.
Today, our generation of young people are fortunate to live in the great era of reform and opening up and stand at the intersection of the century and the Millennium. We are lucky. Facing the new century, we have a great responsibility. We look back and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement and seriously think about what kind of youth and life we should have. I remember that I first learned about the May 4th Movement from the history class in primary school. At that time, the teacher told us about the May 4th Movement, all kinds of bullying of China by imperialist powers, and all kinds of feats of young people's sacrifice for the motherland. At that time, although we could not fully understand the profound truth, it was like a ray of dawn illuminating the ignorant wasteland, and the seeds of patriotism had been sown in our young hearts. Gradually, we grew up, we became young people in their prime, and we had a deeper understanding of the tradition and spirit of the May 4th Movement. Think of those May 4th youths who used to be about our age! Their immature shoulders have taken on the heavy responsibility of saving the nation from extinction, but today, the heavy responsibility of building the motherland will fall on the shoulders of our generation without any choice. Should we devote everything to the greater prosperity of the motherland?
Yes, we are not young. We can't stay under the broad wings of our parents forever. On May 4th this year, we will attend the swearing-in ceremony for adults. This means that we will hold up a blue sky with our parents.
Elders often say that our generation is a big child in a honeypot, lacking a sense of urgency and responsibility. Indeed, compared with them, our life is more comfortable and comfortable. But this does not mean that we can relax our efforts and reduce our responsibilities.
When people talk about our old areas in northern Jiangsu, they are always filled with emotion. Northern Jiangsu is a beautiful and magical land, and our Yanfu area has left a glorious page in the revolutionary history of China. In the military hectic years, this hot land once paid a high price for the China revolution. After the founding of New China, people here have made great changes in their hometown with their own hands and Su Beiren's diligence and wisdom. Speaking of all this, our hearts are always full of pride. However, we should also see that there is still a big gap between here and other developed areas of the motherland, and poverty in some places here needs further governance. The overall economy here needs to take off further. As young people in northern Jiangsu, what should we feel first? You should feel responsible. "I was born in this land and grew up in this land." We love this hot land under our feet. We must shoulder the responsibility of building and prospering our hometown.
In my hometown, there is a man the same age as my father. He is Jiang Deming, a country-famous rural science and technology iron man who is physically disabled and determined. Based on farmland, he tirelessly studied how wheat and cotton can have a higher total output in his hometown. When his research achieved initial results, cancer attacked him again. Instead of falling down, he stayed in the field on crutches and visited farmers. Through unremitting efforts, the fine varieties he cultivated have been popularized, planting techniques have been popularized, and the total grain output has been greatly improved. Farmers welcome such agronomists with both hands. Call him "the iron man of agricultural technology". He is a good example for the youth in our old liberated areas. Last year, at the swearing-in ceremony for young people in our city, he earnestly warned us that we should study hard, master scientific and cultural knowledge, base ourselves on our posts, have a pure heart, and walk an inch less for the economic development of the old areas! We remember the iron man's words, we realize our responsibility, and our young people in the old Yanfu area will work hard.
Yes, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of each of us young people. Looking forward to the new century, rejuvenating China and building our homeland, we will not shrink back.
Li Dazhao once wrote in the article "Youth": "Break the shackles of history, cleanse the filth of history, create a new life of the nation and save the crisis of the nation." Today, although we don't have to face the decline of our country or bear the smoke of war, the task before us is equally arduous. We should strive to become what Lu Xun said, "creating the third generation that has never been seen in human history." "I am humble and dare not forget to worry about my country", taking the world as my responsibility, dedicating my youth and blood to the motherland, working hard and selflessly, and contributing all my wisdom and strength to the prosperity of the motherland. Today we are the fragrance of peaches and plums, and tomorrow we will be the pillars of society, which will set off a huge wave of China soaring.
Let's revisit General Secretary Jiang's hope and request to the contemporary youth during the discussion with the representatives of the 14th All-China Youth Federation: "Cherish time, study tirelessly, strive to draw knowledge and wisdom from the excellent culture of the Chinese nation and all outstanding achievements of civilization created by human beings, combine innovative spirit with scientific attitude, combine ambition with down-to-earth, be brave and good at innovation, and constantly contribute to the modernization of the motherland." Yes, this is the responsibility entrusted by history to contemporary youth, and this is the ardent expectation of the people. Let's take action, write life with the blood of youth and sing the most magnificent song of youth. Dear teachers and students, perhaps you have all heard of the saying "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". When the country is in danger, when society calls us, we will not hesitate to give our money and materials.
The society is progressing, and the era of blood and fire has gone away from us. We don't have to frown anymore, but the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the country is not blowing in the wind, and the responsibility is still on our shoulders. ...
Perhaps we have heard that peace and development have become the theme of the times, and the competition between countries is the competition between science and technology and talents. Whoever has skills and talents will be in an invincible position. Reform and opening up have brought us unprecedented opportunities for development, and we should be able to use this opportunity to create our bright future. This is the call of the times and the wish of the people.
As the younger generation, what should we do at this time? This is our greatest concern. Students in the past studied hard. "They turn a deaf ear to things outside the window and only read books by sages", vying for fame and fortune. It is not advisable for them to do so only for their own benefit. We should abandon this narrow-minded thinking and get out of our personal circle. Confucius has a saying: cultivate one's morality, keep the family in order, govern the country and level the world. This means that we should first cultivate good moral sentiments and learn rich knowledge, and then use them to manage the family, govern the country and make the world peaceful. I think this sentence is still instructive today. Our young students are in the stage of increasing their knowledge of ergonomics and what Confucius called "self-cultivation". Therefore, our greatest responsibility now is to cultivate good ideology and morality, learn all subjects well, arm our minds with science, and strive to cultivate ourselves into a young man with both ability and political integrity who is ready to contribute everything to the motherland and the people. "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of hearing, family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world, and care about everything", so that we can be in a leading position in science and technology and be invincible in international competition.
Comrade Mao Zedong once said, "You are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. The world belongs to us, but it is your after all." Yes, the world belongs to us, to our younger generation. Our responsibility is great. A little negligence or slackness will be sorry for the expectations of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries. However, there are still many students who don't realize this. They don't study hard, they just muddle along and do their homework carelessly. Absenteeism in class, doze off during exams, look around, and wish you had a clairvoyance ... If you have these situations, you should wake up, and if you continue like this, you will be behind the times. History has reached 2 1 century. As a cross-century generation, aren't you ashamed? A great man once said, "Youth is the golden age of life, which belongs to people only once." Is this youth as precious as gold, even more precious than gold, so wasted? No, you can't! "When you have flowers to fold, you have to fold them. Don't wait until there are no flowers to fold. " Paul Kochakin once said, "This is how one should spend one's life. When he looks back on the past, he won't regret it because of mediocrity ... "If we want to regret our youth. Students, let our great mission be devoted to vigorous modernization, study hard scientific knowledge, contribute our strength to the prosperity of society, make our youth glow with infinite strength, make our youth valuable and let our youth fly!
