More diverse, more abundant
At the end of 2020, the first season of "China Teenagers Say" was broadcast, which received the attention of many families. At that time, the program invited 30 outstanding children from all over the country into the studio, they were either super Chinese character fans, who took the eighth level of calligraphy; or cultural relics fans, who were familiar with the stories of cultural relics and the history behind them; or artificial intelligence masters, invited to participate in the Baidu AI Developer Conference; or brave boys who stepped forward and volunteered to go down the well to save people; or Peking Opera xiaodas, who are already the fourth generation of Peking Opera Meipai... Their stories, their personal experiences and feelings, let people see the knowledge, insight, feelings and responsibilities of the new generation of Chinese teenagers.
After a year of preparation, the second season of "Chinese Teenagers Say" returned to a blockbuster, with more diversified topics and richer content. This season, the 30 selected young speakers include enthusiasts of Beidou Satellite, loyal fans of Oracle, small Internet celebrities who perform classical dance, speakers of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and players of the Earth Science Olympiad... They represent the healthy and upward life state of adolescents, focusing on love and shining with hard work. A self-composed rap, an improvised dance, a ceremonial movement, a model of a bridge, or a demonstration of a small invention can trigger a topic of thought. Zhang Weidong, producer of CCTV Children's Channel, explained the original intention of the program: "Under the background of the 'double reduction' policy of compulsory education, a more colorful life should be paid attention to, and more young voices should be listened to. ”

More level-up and more realistic
Compared with the power of example brought by the previous season of the show, the perspective of the second season of "Chinese Teenagers Says" is more straightforward. For example, Shi Zexing, a teenager who debuted in the first phase of the program, a 10-year-old boy used the balcony of his home as an insect kingdom, and took grasshoppers, spiders, scorpions, lizards, and praying mantises as friends, and raised, observed, and recorded every day, determined to become an insect expert; for example, 16-year-old "Beidou enthusiast" Zhao Yixin, by introducing the Beidou satellite navigation system and participating in the research and development of unmanned inspection robots, shared with the audience the application of Beidou technology in life; and Hou Tianle, a rap boy from Shanghai's Huangpu District, Because I often pass by Xingye Road after school, I searched for red imprints before the arrival of "July 1" last year, stirred up the new voices of the times, and created an "alternative" main theme.
In the fifth episode of the program updated last Saturday, a 14-year-old young painter Zhang Yueyang came. He spent more than 20 days drawing the Water Margin 108 general on the most ordinary toilet paper. "By chance, I accidentally spilled ink on toilet paper, it felt like a painting, I tried to paint some paintings, and found that the more I painted, the better, and then I decided to paint all of The Water Margin 108." Zhang Yueyang said, "At first, I painted very slowly, and it took me half an hour to complete a detail of each character, sometimes a painting is about ten hours. Later, he used his own paper and pen to copy the Qingming Mountains and Rivers for more than two months, "The rice paper I copied was 138 centimeters long and 67 centimeters wide, and I drew a total of 11 pieces of rice paper, and I drew several brushes." "The teenager's brush is actually immature, the teenager's speech is inevitably tense, Zhang Yueyang's story is true and full of power, he said that the process of painting is actually a process of learning, and he feels the excellent traditional Chinese culture in copying.

Immediately evaluate | role models around
Regarding "China" and "youth", what jumps into our minds may be such a sentence, "When the youth is prosperous, the country is prosperous; if the youth is strong, the country is strong." "So, are Chinese teenagers in the new era happy? Strong or not?
From poetry and song to Beidou satellites, from dance and singing to artificial intelligence, from Taiji Bagua to Guochao Cultural Creation, "Chinese Teenagers Say" is showing us the role models of contemporary China. They have colorful, healthy and uplifting living conditions and stories, but they are also the most ordinary Chinese teenagers. It can be said that the "talkative" in the show is the brothers and sisters or younger siblings around each child, and the children who are trying to light up their own shining points.
They are role models, but they come from real life, are within reach, and are not so distant role models. This makes the role model more powerful, makes the show more warm, and resonates. Zou Yiming, vice president of the Performing Arts Work Committee of the China Cultural Management Association, said that "Chinese Teenagers Say" is an excellent program that can be used as a textbook for ideological and political science: "Li De Shu people cannot blindly 'feed' empty concepts and boring words into the mouths of children, but must attract children to take the initiative to 'eat' in an interesting and lively form." ”
"Chinese Teenagers Say" does exactly that. If the ideological and political science class of many years ago was still based on "teachers speaking and students listening", then today's ideological and political science class can introduce more excellent content like "Chinese Teenagers Say", forming a new model of "program broadcasting, teachers speaking, and classmates discussing".
