The spirit of the May 4th Movement can be summarized as patriotism, progress, democracy and science. Although it has been 89 years, we must advocate and carry forward this spirit until today.
The May 4th spirit is not only the crystallization of the wisdom and strength of the May 4th youth, but also the embodiment of the ideals and goals of China youth. Today, while inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, we also need to keep pace with the times and inject new connotations.
Inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement means constantly strengthening study. We should make full use of today's good opportunity and favorable conditions to learn science, technology, management and theory, master skills, correct our thinking, standardize our behavior, raise our awareness and contribute to the rejuvenation and prosperity of our motherland.
For more than half a century, with the progress of the motherland, thousands of young people in Qian Qian have followed the Party in the forefront of the times, devoted themselves to the great practice of socialist modernization with infinite love and loyalty to their mothers, fully played the role of fresh troops and commandos, and contributed all their youth, wisdom and strength to the construction, reform and development of the motherland, writing magnificent youth chapters everywhere on the land of China.
Lei Feng, Zhang Haidi, Li Xiangqun, Qin Wengui, Yang Liwei ... On the occasion of commemorating the 86th anniversary of the founding of the China Youth League and the 89th anniversary of the May 4th Movement, and on the occasion of the China Youth League's "I * * forge ahead with the motherland", let's sing softly "How wonderful it will be for us to meet again in 20 years!" This touching song meets the requirements of young people in the history of People's Republic of China (PRC). ...
For thousands of years, we have been living in the tradition of consensus. Grand narrative has occupied an absolute position, and the collective voice has replaced everyone's voice. We can't have anything but the same voice as the group. We have been silent, like bare branches in winter, silent and pointing to the sky.
Until the May 4th Movement, the influx of western culture gradually made China culture break through the original paradigm, resulting in modern changes, the collision between Chinese and western cultures, and the emergence of various doctrines, resulting in the coexistence of cultural diversity. As a result, the May 4th new cultural landscape, in which a hundred schools of thought contend, emerged, which changed the historical and cultural pattern of "unification" of China's traditional culture and advanced in pluralism, tolerance, competition and change. Self-awakening, the voice of "people-oriented", we have our own voice.
However, for a hundred years, we have been pursuing the so-called modernization. In the process of modernization, we have made great achievements in the economy, but because of this, we pay too much attention to material, so that everything is alienated into material evaluation. As a result of materialization, we gradually played down the construction of humanistic spirit.
Compared with the rapid development of science and technology and the expansion of consumption consciousness, the humanistic spirit is relatively shrinking. In the face of fierce social competition, many things can no longer be adhered to and humanistic spirit can no longer appear. On the university campus, while people enjoy a series of achievements brought by high technology, the humanistic spirit floats in the university campus at the opposite pace to economic development.
We ignore the pursuit of human nature, the lack of humanistic spirit, the decline of moral standards and the emergence of public utilitarianism. During the May 4th Movement, the voices condemning the society drifted away, and we no longer pursued the publicity of individuality. We don't have our own voice.
Of course, some people will say that the humanistic tradition and cultural atmosphere of a university determine the value orientation and spiritual pursuit of its students and attribute the problem to education. But is this the case? The Chinese teaching syllabus of middle school "stipulates" a series of required books. These books include China's ancient classics and works of western philosophers, aiming at cultivating students' humanistic quality, but how many people have read one or several of them carefully? We talked endlessly about Jin Yong Gu Long and the infinite yearning for the Internet. We pursue fast food culture and succumb to the temptation of our senses. After entering the university, the original situation that students' psychology was rigidly confined to a narrow field was broken, and the abundant time and free and open atmosphere did not let us swim in the deep sea of humanistic tradition. On the contrary, we chose not to pursue it and muddle along. The lifestyle of "sitting on the clock day by day" is adopted by most people. We gave up our voices.
Pragmatism and utilitarianism are on the rise in our thinking system and concepts, so we can't have a correct attitude to accept the baptism of humanistic spirit, and we can't understand the role of humanistic spirit in purifying the soul and cultivating sentiment. What makes people feel terrible is that this kind of "lack" of humanistic spirit has become an unwritten "tradition" on the university campus, which has been passed from seniors to younger siblings. We have never reflected on the status quo again and again. What is even more frightening is that a group lacking humanistic spirit will be the backbone of the future society, even the elite in some fields.
Now our society has entered "postmodernism", and humanistic education has been put on the agenda. Looking at the whole modernization process, we lose more than we gain. Because even in the contemporary society where industrial civilization is extremely developed, western industrial society pays more and more attention to eastern civilization, while we ignore our own human culture, which is sad. At present, the degree of industrial civilization is not very high. It is precisely "paying equal attention to material civilization and spiritual civilization" to build a value system and moral framework for it earlier.
If our spiritual home needs to be completely rebuilt, then we really need to find the cornerstone in China's humanistic tradition. If the neglect of the humanities in the past is a kind of helplessness, then the indifference to the humanities in the future is an evasion of responsibility. As contemporary college students, we should shoulder our own responsibilities and expand our horizons to the whole social history.
"I want to go from south to north, and I want to go from white to black. I have these feet, I have these legs, I have this Qian Shan, I want it all, but don't hate it, don't regret it. " Jeff Chang Shin-Che's lyrics are meaningful to us after all. The sky is ours, although the sky is not so blue, the sea is not so blue, and the motherland is ours, though not yet. We still have to continue. Four years in college, whether it is pink or blue, whether it is happy or depressed, we should seriously examine ourselves, what we are doing, what we should do, and whether we are willing. We always have to face this reality and bear the pain of cocoon breaking, but we are facing this cruel reality and bearing this painful cocoon breaking. We should have the courage not to die but to face it. Even if there is nothing now, at least we can dry our tears, hold our heads high, hold our chests straight, and rush forward with a smile.
Having said that, it's just what we should do. I think everyone has their own experience, their own ideals and their own pursuits, but at least as mentioned above, ships sailing at sea will not despair, because they have their own direction and beliefs, and all the reasons are interlinked. Everything in nature is interrelated.
Compared with 85 years ago, great changes have taken place in China today. The country needs talents, but now, the source of talents can only be our generation. The goal of "peaceful rise" is long-term and arduous. At that time, Premier Zhou "studied for the rise of China!" It is time for us to study and strive for the peaceful rise of China, which has become our bounden mission. The spirit of the May 4th Movement should not only be a slogan, but also turn its firm belief into our firm action.
Contemporary youth are facing a great era. China has stood at a new historical starting point and entered a critical period of reform and development. Adhering to scientific development and building a harmonious society has become the main theme of our social life. The times have provided a broad stage for young people, and the party and people have placed infinite hopes on them. Contemporary youth actively participate in this great era, closely link their personal destiny with the destiny of the motherland, and integrate their pursuit into the common ideal of the whole nation, so as to better realize their own value and sublimate the meaning of life. The times require us to forge ahead with the motherland, struggle with the people, develop with the times, devote our youth to building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country and contribute our talents to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Striving together with the motherland has become an unchanging theme for the vigorous growth of contemporary youth. The development of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation are the basic prerequisites for young people to achieve their careers. Putting the interests of the motherland in the highest position and making unremitting efforts for national rejuvenation is a truly valuable life, and such youth is a truly beautiful youth. In this "May 4th" festival full of vitality and future hope, let's * * * encourage our young friends:
Make progress with the motherland and always firmly adhere to the political belief of following the party. Under the new historical conditions, the majority of young people should persist in arming their minds with the latest achievements of Marxism in China, resolutely implement the Party's line, principles and policies, constantly enhance their confidence in Marxism, the Party and the government, and the socialist modernization drive, and further strengthen their belief in taking the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road. Establish lofty ideals and firm beliefs, you can stand the test of difficulties and storms, and you will not lose your way under any circumstances.
Struggle with the motherland and always be with the people. The people are the driving force to create history, and the rich creative practice of the people is the fertile ground for the healthy growth of young people. Without people and practice, personal growth can only be passive water and trees without roots. Contemporary youth should persist in fighting against the people, always bear in mind the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, firmly establish the consciousness of serving the people, and on the basis of learning theory and book knowledge well, consciously go to the grassroots and the masses, where the motherland and the people need it most, endure hardships, exercise their talents and increase their talents.
Struggle with the motherland and develop with the times forever. Youth is the most energetic and creative group, and it is also the most active group to lead the social atmosphere and practice the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. Facing the new situation and new tasks, we should establish the mainstream values of "eight honors and eight disgraces" and the benchmark of moral construction in the new period. Only by having ideals, morality, culture and discipline can we adapt to the requirements of the times. The majority of young people should not only base themselves on their posts, embody the pragmatic spirit in all specific work, strive for first-class, but also show their innovative potential and talents in the trend of economic and social development.
The future of the nation lies in the youth, and the hope of the party's cause lies in the youth. Under the guidance of party flag and inspired by the grand goal, contemporary youth will be able to inherit and carry forward the glorious traditions of the May 4th Movement and the Communist Youth League, and constantly create brand-new achievements worthy of the party and the country, the people and the times.
To carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement and carry out great practice, we must be politically qualified and closely follow the Party. The healthy growth of teenagers can not be separated from the guidance and training of the party. Only by unswervingly following the Party can young people play an active role in social development. We should persist in arming our minds with Theory of Three Represents Theory, strengthen our belief of always following the Party, and strive to grow into people with ideals, morality, education and discipline, and make contributions to the Party, the country and the people. It is necessary to deeply understand the connotation of railway leap-forward development, unify thoughts and actions with the overall goal of railway reform and development, and strive to be a new force in reform and development.
To carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement and engage in great practice, we must pay attention to learning and improve our quality. The main task of youth is to study. Social development needs high-quality young people to build the army. Young people should firmly establish the concept of lifelong learning, learn from books and practice, study hard new knowledge and technology, and learn all other knowledge that is conducive to improving their quality and doing a good job. We should make great efforts to apply what we have learned and apply what we have learned, focus on the rational thinking of the work of the Communist Youth League under the new situation, focus on the improvement of ideological and theoretical level and the ability to serve the overall situation, and strive to achieve the unity of learning and application, unity of knowing and doing, perseverance and perseverance, so as to adapt our knowledge reserve, theoretical accomplishment and working ability to the requirements of the times and promote the new development of all work in grasping and serving the overall situation.
To carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement and carry out great practice, we must forge ahead and innovate. Innovation is an inexhaustible motive force for the prosperity of enterprises. Young people are the most energetic, conservative and creative. In the process of the leap-forward development of the railway, the young people of the West Railway should dare to surpass their predecessors, constantly enhance their innovation ability, actively participate in innovation practice, and further promote technological innovation, management innovation and service innovation. We should combine the enthusiasm for innovation with a scientific and realistic attitude, combine the requirements for innovation with our own work, strive to discover, innovate and forge ahead, carry forward the work spirit of hard struggle, turn the enthusiasm for loving the party, patriotism and the road into practical actions for making contributions, and realize our own life value in the great practice of social development in China.
Only when young people make contributions to the motherland and the people will their youth be better. We believe that in the great practice of participating in socialist construction, the vast number of young people will unite and work hard, persevere, write a better new chapter with wisdom and youth, and create new glories. Young friends, let's continue to carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement and redouble our efforts to build a beautiful and harmonious tomorrow in China!
