"The Mission of "Morning Bell"" by Li Dazhao.

Original text paragraph:

The wisdom of the elders is obscured by experience, but there is no such thing as experience in the minds of young people. The spirit of the elders depends on the environment, but in the eyes of young people, the environment does not matter. The civilization of the elders is also the civilization of reconciliation, reconciliation with the situation, reconciliation with the times, and reconciliation with experience. The civilization of youth is also the civilization of struggle, struggle with circumstances, struggle with the times, and struggle with experience.

Therefore, young people are the king of life, the spring of life, and the glory of life. 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, and their lively life. , to create an environment and conquer history.

The elders should also respect the morality of young people, their spirit, their thoughts, their intuition, and their life, and should not suppress their spirit, their thoughts, their intuition, and their life. For the elders to discipline the youth with the righteousness of being submissive and obedient, in order to curb their ambition to move forward, and for those who are bold and talented, is tantamount to urging the youth to commit suicide. If the elders do not know how to resurrect or transform, but still go against the destiny of the universe and throw their young people into ruins, our young people have the right to raise the flag of resistance.
