When the New Year bell rang in 2010, the youngest post-80s also began to cross the threshold of 20 years old, and the post-80s collectively ran three, and their life status and future prospects were on the cusp of social opinion.
The post-80s generation is not only the focus of social public opinion, they have abandoned the youthful frivolity and immaturity, and have begun to become the mainstay of society.
When the post-80s generation violently impacted our vision and heart, some people asked: How did the term post-80s come about?
The word post-80s was originally only a title for young writers born in the literary circles from 1980 to 1989, first proposed by the young writer Gong Xiaobing, and later gradually borrowed by various fields, becoming a synonym for the generation born in the 1980s.
The concept of the post-80s generation is original to the poetry world, and was first unveiled in the July 2000 "Poetry Reference" column with "Poems of Poets Born in the 80s".
Later, the post-80s generation expanded to the novel industry, and the post-80s concept began to be known to everyone in the literary world. As for the post-80s naming extended to the entire literary circle and even the entire cultural world, it should be attributed to the post-80s poets Chunshu, Li Silly and other post-80s poets who created the literary turmoil and wave vibration under the banner of the post-80s. On February 2, 2004, The Beijing teenage writer Chunshu took the cover of the Asian edition of Time magazine in the United States, and Four people, including Han Han, former hacker Manzhou, and rock musician Li Yang, were considered to be the representatives of China after the 1980s, and the post-80s officially broke into the public's field of vision.

In the face of the surging tide of the post-80s, all sectors of society, including the media, literary circles, education circles, etc., have pointed the finger at the post-80s, and a storm of criticism of the post-80s has begun.

"Time" called the post-80s alternative, believing that they are new radicals in China, so it led a large number of people to criticize the post-80s, saying that the post-80s were the most uneditful, too impetuous, no ideals, and so on.
Due to the special historical background, the post-80s generation has not left a good impression in people's eyes. At that time, public opinion generally believed that the post-80s generation was a rebellious and irresponsible generation, and it had a pessimistic attitude towards it, resulting in a lot of prejudice. In the past few years, various media have been full of "discrimination" against the post-80s, even containing offensive words, and the post-80s have been dubbed "the Beat generation", "the most irresponsible generation", "the ignorant generation", "the most selfish generation", "the most rebellious generation" and other titles.

However, the name Wenchuan clearly shows the true face of the post-80s in front of everyone.

In 2008, in the Olympic flame protection war, the post-80s young people, as a powerful backbone, ignited the patriotic upsurge of the Chinese people again and again, and vigorously publicized the positive ideas of patriotism, speculation, justice and humanity.
After experiencing the Wenchuan earthquake and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the post-80s generation made a name for themselves with their outstanding performances. So far, the positive reports and positive publicity of various domestic media on the post-80s have made people re-recognize the post-80s.
