The Direction of Youth Movement is a speech made by Chairman Mao at the 20th anniversary commemorative meeting of the May 4th patriotic movement held by young people in Yan 'an.
In this article, Chairman Mao discussed four issues closely around the theme style that white-collar workers and young college students must be closely integrated with workers and peasants. First, on the basis of systematic software investigation and comprehensive scientific research on China's national conditions, the concept of China's new-democratic revolution is developing. In other words, China 1 The other half of the new-democratic revolution is imperialism and feudalism, and now China's anti-Japanese war links are Japanese imperialism and traitors; The motive force of China's new-democratic revolution is anyone in the proletariat, the peasant class and other classes who wants to oppose imperialism and feudalism. Among them, workers and peasants, who account for 90% of the national population, are indispensable energy sources and the backbone of technological reform; 3 China's new-democratic revolution is characterized by bourgeois democratic reform. The purpose it needs to surpass is to overthrow imperialism and feudalism and create a 1 democratic republic for ordinary people, so young people all over the country should be diligent; The development prospect of China's new-democratic revolution is from civilian democracy to * * * productism; The bourgeoisie has been unable to carry out this kind of reform, and it must rely on the diligence of the proletariat and many ordinary people. On the basis of the above analysis, Chairman Mao used the definitions of people's democratic revolution and people's democracy for the first time, and clearly put forward the basic relationship between people's democratic revolution and anti-imperialism.
Second, the influence and role of the youth movement in China's new-democratic revolution have been properly evaluated. Chairman Mao emphasized that since the May 4th Movement, young people in China have stood at the forefront of the revolutionary ranks and played a vanguard role, that is, set an example. Paying attention to the youth is the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal army of 1 and the key army of 1. Thirdly, it summarizes the history and successful experience of the youth movement in China since the May 4th Patriotic Movement. Chairman Mao believes that the successful experience of China's new-democratic revolution over the years means that it can fully inspire the people of the whole country. Young people must understand that the backbone of China's new-democratic revolution is workers and peasants, who account for 90% of the country's population. _ With workers and peasants as the backbone and only relying on the army of young intellectuals and college students, it is impossible to surpass the victory against imperialism and feudalism. Therefore, Chairman Mao called on white-collar workers and young college students to join hands with many workers and peasants to carry out unity and the war of resistance to the end. Here, Chairman Mao also pays attention to whether to closely integrate with the workers and peasants as the criterion for judging whether 1 youth is reformed.
Fourthly, it points out the direction of youth movement in China. Chairman Mao deeply analyzed that today's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China is the 1 new link of China's new-democratic revolution, and it is the most prominent, active and vivid 1 new link. In this link, young people have undertaken the historical obligation of lifting the oversized size, but the youth movements in China are still inconsistent, which is a considerable defect of 1. Therefore, all party member must strengthen the consistency of youth work, and only consistency can be dynamic. We should make the youth of the whole country understand the current situation clearly, persevere and unite as one, and fight the war to the end. Chairman Mao praised the youth movement in Yan 'an as an example of the national youth movement. The direction of Yan 'an youth movement is the direction of the national youth movement. This depends on the unity of the youth in Yan 'an and their close ties with many workers and peasants. The political orientation and methods of Yan 'an youth are appropriate. The youth of the whole country should learn and cultivate from Yan 'an youth, adhere to the correct direction of the youth movement, unite the people of the whole country, and strive for the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The direction of youth movement is the reference of the basic program guiding the youth movement in China, which has had a great influence and extensive positive harm in the history of youth movement in China.
