This is a commemorative handbook for graduates of Wenguang Middle School run by shanghai in the 1960s. Flipping through this old commemorative book, paragraph by paragraph, people feel the spirit of the graduates who were young and fiery.
The cover of the mimeograph is a torch pattern in hand, flanked by a commemorative manual text, all hand-engraved and colored, the torch logo originates from the "Torch Newspaper" that this class once ran, and there is a red flag pattern and the words 1920-1963 underneath.

The second page is a group photo of the graduation, the photo of 37 students, it is the age of the wind and prosperity, everyone shows a smile full of yearning for the future. The third page is a quotation: "We will be a good seed of the revolution, and wherever the party and the state scatter me, I will take root, blossom, and bear fruit, and sprinkle it on the desert, and we will grow into a green Great Wall, sprinkled in the fields, and we will grow into a fruitful crop, sprinkled on the barren mountain, we will turn the barren mountain into a mountain of flowers and fruits" - "How to spend the life of a man plucked"
Then there were messages from the principal, the class teacher, and the math teacher, encouraging the students to work hard in anger and shoulder the glorious and arduous burden of changing the "poor and white" appearance of the motherland. High hopes are raised for graduating students.
All the following pages are parting messages written by students and excerpts from "Youth Daily".
In the parting message, there are thanks to the teacher's sincere teachings and regret parting feelings. Such as "my teacher", "thank you to the party and teacher", "you - respectable teacher", "wish you...".
One of the articles titled "Lamp":
In the office of the alma mater,
Shine day and night.
It is like an eternal star,
It is like the sun that never sets in the universe,
As if the sun also shines through your light,
Only to illuminate the silver lantern of the snowy mountain.
It shines into the atrium of everyone's heart,
It also warms everyone's heart,
It is like a torrent stirring in our hearts,
Why we can grow up here,
It is with a sincere wish,
It's like a child growing up day by day,
Like a mother's caress,
…
There are also students who write parting feelings for their alma mater, "farewell to their alma mater", "good words of parting", "eve of leaving school", "a letter to congratulate the graduating classmates", "wish you", "I am with you" and so on.
As a class newspaper, the torch pattern appeared on the cover of the memorial book, and the students were impressed, and one of the students wrote, "I want to inherit you - torch." torch! Although I will not see you, but I will never forget you, I want to carry your light, where the party needs me to run to wherever I want, I want to take it, take root and sprout in the motherland where it is most needed, I want more people to see your brilliance, I want more people to recognize the situation and get more new knowledge.
I want more people to rejoice in loneliness as soon as they see it, the torch of love, your spirit spread in all directions, and let it contribute to the construction of socialism." Other students also wrote "Farewell to the Torch Report" and "Inheriting and Carrying Forward the Combat Role of the Torch Newspaper".

Some wrote about their desire to respond to the party's call and go to the places where the motherland is most needed and to go to the countryside to Xinjiang to support the construction of the motherland. For example, "Farewell".
Say goodbye with your hands tightly and inspire outspokenness.
To be a red successor, the motherland needs to volunteer.
The Party's teachings will never be forgotten, and wherever there is hard work, there will be no end.
He ran to the frontier with confidence and was determined to treat the peasants as a farmer.

There are many excerpts from the youth newspaper: there is a poem excerpt "The burden has never been put down on the shoulders"
A song floats in the blue sky, and the green seedlings of 10,000 acres reflect the smiling face,
Ambition soared, undiminished.
Pick up manure this morning, flattened like a flying swallow,
It was as if 13 years ago, a cannonball was sent through the smoke of war.
At that time, the smoke of war had dissipated, and the mist had completely covered the cauliflower,
From your military exploits to the countryside, the burden has never been lowered.
Armed with guns to kill the enemy, hanging hoes to plant grain and cotton,
A good soldier of the party is always on the front line.
It can be seen that the newspaper published poetry articles in that year to encourage graduates and veterans to go to difficult places to participate in the construction of the motherland.
There are also excerpts of "parents will not hinder children" and "love thousands of parents", which shows that in that era, there were many parents who supported their children and graduated to the most difficult places to exercise and grow.
Another excerpt:
"It is impossible to do the revolution without studying Chairman Mao's writings", "sowing the red seed", "Happy revolutionary fool", "First, we must have the correct purpose", "The inspiration of the nail spirit".
On March 5, 1963, all major newspapers prominently published Mao Zedong's inscription "Learning from Comrade Lei Feng" on the front page, setting off an upsurge of learning from Lei Feng's advanced deeds.
In this context, the commemorative book excerpts several articles about Lei Feng, encouraging the students to listen to the party's command, carry forward the spirit of nails, and do a line of love.
The back cover of the cover of the commemorative book is written "The Fourth Graduate of Shanghai Wenguang Middle School", and the back cover is written "Edited by the Working Group of the Commemorative Manual".
This graduation commemorative handbook has witnessed the simple feelings and friendship between the principals, teachers and students on campus in the past three years, and also recorded the graduates' determination to go to the countryside to the frontier and use their youth to build a great motherland.
