Contemporary Chinese youth are a generation that walks in the same direction and advances together with the new era, and is born in a prosperous world and shoulders heavy responsibilities.
On April 19, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection at Tsinghua University that the vast number of young people should love the country and the people, temper their moral character, be brave in innovation, and study and do practical work. From the snowy plateau to the north and south of the great river, from the field to the front line of scientific research, a generation of "new youth" has closely integrated personal growth and talent with the future and destiny of the country, pursuing ideals with sincerity and defining youth with pioneering spirit. There was a surge of vitality in them, and a dazzling light shone in their hearts.

【New Youth】
Name: Dawa Yundan
Age: 32 years old
Position: Squadron Leader of the Traffic Police Brigade Order Squadron of the Amdo County Public Security Bureau in the Tibet Autonomous Region

【My Story】
The Tanggula Pass, which is 5231 meters above sea level, is the highest traffic police duty point in China, and it is also my "home" for camping and camping all year round. There are more than 120 days a year where there are 8 winds of magnitude, which is called the "forbidden area of life".
More than 80 percent of the transportation of materials in and out of Tibet is undertaken by the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Once the road is cut off, the whole of Tibet may face the risk of shortage of materials and rising prices. My job is to guard the "lifeline" of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.
In the Spring Festival of 2019, there was a rare snowfall and strong wind in the Tanggula Mountain section of National Highway 109, the temperature was as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the deepest snow was 1.5 meters. For a time, the vehicle was congested more than 10 times, more than 600 vehicles were blocked, and more than 1,300 people were stranded.
I was going home and immediately organized a rescue team to carry out rescue. In order to clear the snow and keep it smooth, many colleagues worked for several days and nights continuously, and their hands, feet, and ears were frozen. Some colleagues couldn't help but cry, but none of them chose to go down the mountain.
That's 59 days.

Every September, Tanggula Mountain is wrapped in silver, attracting self-driving and photography enthusiasts from all over the country to come to collect wind and adventure.
The more beautiful The Tanggula Mountain, the more nervous we are. Because no matter whether it is a large truck or a small car, it is easy to slip on the road at this time, and a little carelessness may occur dangerously.
I have been stationed here for 9 years, and my family persuaded me to transfer to work at a lower altitude. But I think that if my efforts can facilitate more people to come to Tibet and build Tibet, then the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is not only a road to transport materials, but also a road to happiness.
I'm not so much guarding the highway here as I'm guarding happiness.

【Definition of My Youth】Loving the country and the people is the original intention and responsibility of young people. Stationed in the alpine frontier, I will always watch over the motherland.
Name: Yingying Zhang
Position: Director of Swift Care Center for the Disabled in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province
Suffering from polio, muscle atrophy in both legs, unable to walk out of the house, surrounded by endless loneliness – this is what I was like as a child.
In 2016, in order to help disabled friends like me, I set out to establish the Shenzhen Swift Disabled Care Career Development Center. The name "Swift" is intended to break the restrictions of the body and mind, fly up, and bravely pursue dreams.
In 2018, I had the opportunity to be responsible for the operation and management of the entrepreneurship and employment base for the disabled in Longhua District, Shenzhen. 90% of the employees here are disabled or dependents of children with disabilities. We provide incubation services for persons with disabilities who are willing to start a business, including legal counseling, psychological intervention, and personnel recruitment.
Under the background of "Internet + employment", we have tapped the potential of the disabled, accurately matched their needs, and explored a diversified employment and entrepreneurship model. More than 10 kinds of positions such as makeup artists, software development programmers, and operators have the figure of the disabled, and the visually impaired disabled are highly recognized by enterprises in the field of AI artificial intelligence.
We also develop our own barrier-free products, for example, to study how to put wheelchairs in the trunk, how to modify blind canes, etc. These inventions are based on our own needs, and the ultimate goal is to make everyone better integrate into society.
With our help, more than 2,700 partners with disabilities have been successfully employed, and 16 enterprises have started to grow. We encourage each other and together we prove with our actions that we can not only support ourselves, but also contribute to society.
【My definition of youth】 Be a "swift", not afraid of the storm, flying with dreams. This is the character that young people should temper, and a tenacious life will eventually meet more wonderful.
Name: Li Zhanpeng
Age: 25 years old
Position: Master student of School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Harbin Institute of Technology, Technical Director of Harbin Zero Sound Technology Co., Ltd

Non-destructive testing is an important means to ensure industrial safety. In the past, due to the lack of domestic testing products, many enterprises relied on imported products. These products are expensive, and the key technologies in them will not give way to us.
In December 2015, in line with the wave of mass entrepreneurship and innovation, my brother established Harbin Zero Sound Technology Co., Ltd., which is one of the earliest enterprises in China to get involved in the industrialization of electromagnetic ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology.
At that time, I did it with him. My main direction of attack is electromagnetic ultrasonic automated detection technology, that is, in the high temperature and low temperature environment, to achieve nondestructive testing technology automation.
For science and technology enterprises, products are the foundation of enterprise survival, and innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for development. As the technical director of the team, I led the team to open the reciprocating cycle of "requirements investigation - scheme design - experimental verification - improvement and optimization".
Many people ask me if I have ever thought of giving up when I encounter difficulties. I said that difficulties are not terrible because our teams exist to solve them.
In fact, innovation is not unattainable, but accumulated little by little. From entering the laboratory in my freshman year, to participating in major scientific research projects at the graduate level, to deciding to start a business, and committing to the transformation of scientific research achievements, in addition to learning this professional knowledge, I also taught myself multidisciplinary knowledge of machinery, materials, mechanics and so on. With solid theoretical accumulation, many problems are easy to find breakthroughs.

Over the past few years, my team and I have developed a variety of electromagnetic ultrasonic testing equipment, obtained more than 20 patents, many of which have been successfully applied to various enterprises such as petroleum and petrochemical, metallurgy, wind power, etc., and even replaced manpower to operate in dangerous environments, helping enterprises improve efficiency and reduce costs.
It is worth mentioning that under our "persecution", some imported products have dropped their prices by about 50%, which is my proudest thing.
【My definition of youth】Innovation is not easy, entrepreneurship is bumpy, I firmly believe that dare to be the first, dare to break through, will definitely make youth shine in the struggle.
Name: Guo Zihan

2019 is a year that I will never forget. This year, my father fell into a poverty alleviation post. It was also this year that I walked from the city to the Taihang Mountains and became a relay father.
My father was the first secretary of Taipei Village, and this is where he fought. Why is he so persistent in the countryside and so righteous about poverty alleviation? I was desperate to find out.

When I first arrived in the village, I was afraid of dogs, and I didn't even dare to go to the villagers' homes. Slowly, in my father's poverty alleviation diary, I learned that he wanted to develop poverty alleviation projects and wanted the people to get rich and live a good life. This simple sentence, he wrote it an unknown number of times. Between his lines, I seemed to have found courage and learned the method.
The village's forsythia tea processing poverty alleviation workshop has just been established, and the baking equipment is running unstable and needs to be watched. I stayed in the workshop for 4 days in a row and conducted baking experiments. The high temperature of more than 50 degrees Celsius baked me sweaty, and on the 3rd day, I finally couldn't bear to faint. After resting for half a day, I dragged my tired body and walked into the workshop again.

Drinking the water cup after cup, I thought of my father over and over again. Thinking about whether he would insist on it if it was him, how he would grope. In this way, I gritted my teeth and completed the debugging of the equipment and became familiar with the performance of the equipment. Soon, medicinal tea industries such as mulberry leaf tea and dandelion tea were established, and the villagers had income.
Looking at the smiling faces of the villagers, I understood my father.
Later, the village's reservoir was built, the coal-to-electricity project landed, the "toilet revolution" was promoted as scheduled, and the road my father built was connected with the road I built, making it more convenient for everyone to travel.
More than 700 days and nights have passed, and I want to tell my father: "Rest assured, take your wish, I will definitely go on firmly." ”

【My definition of youth】Practical learning is true learning, it is tireless, and it pursues excellence all the way; hard work is real work, real knife and real gun, and achieves a career.
"I would like to guard this prosperous China with the youth of my generation!" The youth of the new era have sounded the horn. China's giant ship set sail on a new journey, more and more "back waves" chased the "front waves", anchored the goal, determined to move forward, and ran towards a better future.
