"Strong people" and "light people" are always suitable | Written in "May 4th", enterprising life
This spring, the discussion about "what kind of life do you want to live" has extended from a movie to a broader field. Director Hayao Miyazaki spent most of his life after his youth answering this question with actions: he announced to stop writing again and again, and picked up the brush again and again to continue creating. When the young viewers in front of the screen are undergoing soul torture, they must also know that your values, ideal pursuits and action choices will directly affect the development direction and destiny of the country.
On the occasion of the May 4th Movement, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a message to the young people to strive to be good young people in the new era who have ideals, dare to take on responsibilities, can endure hardships, and are willing to work hard. They should show their youthful deeds and highlight their youth in promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation. style, contribute the power of youth, and strive to write a youthful chapter that is responsible for Chinese modernization.
The ridicule of "strong people" and "light people" was once popular among young people. Some young people announced that they were "officially diagnosed as light people". Their emotions were light and there were no major fluctuations; they had light hobbies and could ask anything; they spoke light words and received good things... Compared with those who are full of vitality and habitual standing. The "rich people" who are at the center of the stage and try their best to live their lives, and the "light people" philosophy is "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with yourself."
Being a "strong person" or a "light person" are different life choices, but they are not absolute. People who seem to be "indifferent" to their work may also be "indifferent" to their own goals; people who work and live with high concentration of enthusiasm may also need to reduce their mental burden. Behind the flow of "thin and light", the essence is still the pursuit of self-realization, which ultimately points to progress and struggle.
On another "May 4th" Youth Day, what we want to express is that young people can show their progress and struggle in various forms, but at the core they have the same goal. Whether seeking from outside or from within, young people must answer the questions of the times and take root in the land of China and the real world.
Revolutionaries a hundred years ago used "China Youth" as their front and enthusiastically called on young people to "go among the people" to make in-depth connections with, unite, educate and study workers and farmers, and to understand factories and rural areas. Only by understanding the real China can we deeply understand the social reality and truly transform society and promote the development of the revolutionary cause.
At the meeting to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the May 4th Movement, the General Secretary once said, "Any self-admiration without the needs of the motherland and the interests of the people will fall into a narrower and narrower world." The youth of the new era should use hard-working hands and honest Labor creates a better life, "refuse to be opportunistic and stay away from being smart".
This also points out the path of struggle for contemporary youth - young people should organically unify individual development and social development in order to establish positive and achievable life goals, continue to grow themselves, and realize their life ideals. There is no shortcut to success. Only through unremitting efforts and continuous struggle, sowing hope with hard-working hands, cultivating the future with honest labor, and with unremitting efforts and firm faith, can we create a better life that belongs to ourselves and the whole people.
In Li Dazhao's eyes, the civilization of youth is an enterprising civilization and a creative civilization. "There is no word 'difficulty' in the dictionary of youth, and there is no word 'obstacle' in the language of youth; they only know leaps and bounds, they only know their free spirit, their strange thoughts, their keen intuition, their lively Life, to create the environment and conquer history.”
Today's youth do not lack the qualities of tenacity, enterprising, innovation, and acumen that Li Dazhao said. To make them work without distraction and boldly, we also need to actively guide, accept, and inspire young people, and tolerate all kinds of " "Concentration" of young people, allowing them to continue moving forward despite being busy, frustrated, and learning, or they can play with cats, relax, and enjoy life; let them have and be able to successfully find the track they like and are good at, and truly achieve their best. Everyone shows their talents and abilities.
Yun Daiying once said, "The most important spirit of youth is to fight against destiny." In other words, those who work hard will stay young forever. History will never stop writing, every day is the first day of a new era. For young people, they should take a long-term view instead of getting caught up in temporary gains and losses. They should not sit back and look at the sky, nor should they belittle themselves. They should grow in practice and write answers with actions.
