Samuel Ullman

Youth is not youth, but state of mind; youth is not peach face, lips, soft knees, but deep will, magnificent imagination, fiery feelings; youth is the deep spring of life.

Youth is a kind of sharpness, which means that courage overcomes cowardice, and enterprising overwhelms Gou An. This kind of sharp hairy boy has it, but the age of the flower armor is more common, the age is increased, not the old age; the ideal is discarded, and the party falls into the twilight year.

The years are long, the aging is only to the skin; the passion recedes, and the decadence will reach the soul. Worry, worry, self-esteem, will certainly distort the mind, and the spirit will be like ashes.

Whether they are over the age of flower armor or the age of two or eight, everyone has wonderful fantasies in their hearts, the hope of a childlike curiosity that will never be extinguished, and the joy and enthusiasm for seeking career victory.

You and I have a radio station in our hearts, and as long as it continues to receive signals of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength from the crowd, from an infinite time, you will be young forever. Once the antenna is down, the cynical, pessimistic and desperate emotions are like ice and snow covering your spirit. Even if he is twenty years old, he is old. However, as long as the antenna in your heart is always erect and you continue to accept optimistic radio waves, you can hope to feel young when you say goodbye to the dust edge in your old age!

So as long as we have the courage to dream, dare to chase dreams, and be diligent in realizing our dreams, we will always be young!

Appreciation of works

The so-called youth does not refer to a certain stage of life, but a state of mind. Outstanding creativity, strong will, sunny enthusiasm, unyielding aggressiveness and risk-taking without ease are all manifestations of youthful mentality.

One hundred and three years ago today, it was a normal day. The mist-shrouded city of Beijing awakens with the shouts of hawkers walking the streets, leaving a jumble of affairs to be dealt with, and people are busy.

This is an extraordinary day for young people who are about to wave their arms and shout the slogans of history. Sleepless throughout the night, they were to shake the printed leaflets, banners and slogans in the sun, waiting for the deafening shouts to spread from Tiananmen Square to the entire sleeping country.

At noon on May 4, 1919, more than 3,000 students in Beijing gathered in front of Tiananmen Square, and the surging and high-pitched declaration aroused layer after layer of applause: "Fight for sovereignty abroad, eliminate the national thief at home", "Cancel the twenty-one articles", "Return me to Qingdao", "Curse the traitors Cao Rulin, Zhang Zongxiang, Lu Zongyu"!

The cry of youth inspired the masses, who gathered around the road, either clapping and cheering, or contemplating, and the people were equally enthusiastic and confident in the face of such a powerful demonstration movement. As soon as the clarion call of change sounded, it spread throughout the country, and for a time, workers went on strike, merchants went on strike, and endless flames of hope sprang up on the land of China, burning more and more fiercely to the point of burning.

The May Fourth Movement became an epoch-making event in the history of the modern Chinese revolution, gave birth to the great May Fourth spirit with patriotism, progress, democracy, and science as the main contents, and was of landmark significance in the historical process of the Chinese nation's pursuit of national independence and development and progress in modern times.

"The awakened people of China have shouldered the floodgates of darkness and sent them to a place of wide light."

The initiators of the May Fourth Movement blamed the shortcomings of the times, turned grief and indignation into reflection, bid a deep farewell to the declining past, looked for the key to open a new look, and announced to the world with this huge movement: A new era is coming!

"The Chinese dream is historical, realistic, and future; it belongs to the broad masses of the people, and even more to the younger generation." When I was a teenager, the journey of finding knowledge and building dreams had just begun, and it was time to continue to struggle. ”

New young people who have the courage to practice should rely on their extraordinary courage and rich knowledge to break through the fog, move forward courageously in the midst of setbacks, closely link their personal future with the destiny of the country, undertake the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation in the era of change, and ignite the torch to a better future.
