The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, in the prime of life, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is pinned on you.
Mao Zedong was born in 1893. At this time, he was 64 years old when he spoke, and he was in his old age. After many battles and political changes, he knows that his time is running out, so the first sentence is that the world is yours. Accustomed to the dialectical mode of thinking, he also understood that the world belongs to us, because it belongs to everyone.
But in essence, he knows very well that the world belongs to future people, that is, teenagers, because these people have more time and energy to change the world and strengthen the motherland, just as they did when they were young.
This sentence is also correct, which objectively shows that the mainstream people in the changing world will always be people in the new century, that is, young people. Some people may question that young people are not necessarily more capable than Mao Zedong, but as a person who has witnessed the ups and downs of new China for decades, Mao Zedong himself must be very tired.
He said this, on the one hand, to encourage young people to make progress, on the other hand, to show that it is time for them to quit the historical stage, because young people have more hope and strength than themselves, and the world needs young people to change, which is in line with the historical trend, just like a poem:
There are many talented people all over the country, and their poems and popularity will last for hundreds of years.
