As our motherland becomes more prosperous, each of our young people must learn to take responsibility in the endless river of time, persist in struggle, keep in mind the original intention, and fulfill our mission. Only in this way can our motherland have hope and our nation have a more brilliant future.
This is an era of pursuing dreams, an era of great changes, and an era full of opportunities and challenges. Indeed, while we cheer for the wonderful living conditions, we must not forget diligence. Of course, it is particularly important for young people in the new era to carry forward the spirit of labor and constantly surpass themselves.
Currently, our country is in a critical historical period to realize the Chinese Dream. The burden of realizing national prosperity, national rejuvenation, social development, and people's happiness falls on the shoulders of young people in the new era. The wisdom of young people will make the country wise, and the strength of young people will make the country strong. As a youth in the new era, we must shoulder the heavy historical responsibilities and deeply understand the importance of the spirit of labor.
The spirit of labor can enable young people in the new era to strengthen their bodies and sharpen their minds.
For a country to prosper, young people must have a healthy mind and body and a strong body. Middle school students are in a critical period of physical and mental health development. Strengthening physical exercise and having a positive attitude are important ways to hone a strong will and cultivate good moral character. For any country or nation, physical and mental health and physical fitness are always important indicators of the strong vitality of the nation. They are an important reflection of the current and potential comprehensive strength of the country, and are an important foundation for a country to become a powerful country in terms of human resources.
At the 11th Olympic Games in 1936, China applied for nearly 30 participating events and sent a delegation of more than 140 people. In all the participating events, except for the pole vaulters who entered the semi-finals, everyone else was eliminated in the preliminary round and was eventually wiped out. When the Chinese delegation passed through Singapore on its return trip, a foreign cartoon was published in a local newspaper to satirize the Chinese people: Under the five Olympic rings, a group of skinny Chinese people with long braids, long robes and mandarin jackets were carrying a big duck egg on a stretcher. It's titled "The Sick Man of East Asia." Since then, "sick man of East Asia" has become a derogatory term for the Chinese people by foreigners. We must not forget these bloody histories, we must not forget these humiliations we have suffered, the Chinese tradition of hard work and advocating labor cannot be lost, and the Chinese spirit of enduring hardship and daring to be the first must be remembered and passed on continuously.
The spirit of labor can make young people in the new era noble in virtue and have sound personality.
"Compassion for the Farmers" by Li Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, is a poem familiar to middle school students and known by heart. This work is easy to understand, but it profoundly and accurately interprets and presents the difficulties and hardships of farmers. There are two sentences that read: "It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drops from the crops to the soil." Doesn't this describe the vivid scene of our fathers still insisting on working in the fields at noon under the scorching sun? Every night, I ask my five-year-old son to recite ancient poems repeatedly, and "Compassion for the Farmers" is a must-recite chapter. Let children feel the shock of labor deep in their hearts from an early age and learn to respect labor and form labor aesthetics. Let them cherish food and remember the flesh-and-blood and far-reaching mottos and ancestral precepts such as "Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work?" It is of great and immeasurable significance.
I remember when we were in elementary school, the school had two plots of land. During the autumn harvest in the second half of the year, the students would use their extracurricular activities to help dig potatoes for the school. After half a day of hard work, the teachers rewarded the students by cooking a big pot of potatoes. The scene of everyone rushing to eat the potatoes is still vivid in my mind, just like yesterday. This is the most profound and beautiful memory of my childhood.
Through labor, students can experience the hardships of labor, thereby cultivating the quality of frugality. Only by practicing hard can students truly empathize with others and continuously improve their character. Through labor, students can feel their own value, and the diligent and optimistic character of young people will naturally form.
The spirit of labor can enable young people in the new era to master life skills, learn to cope with difficulties, and continuously strengthen their hearts.
In fact, we can often see news in many media about children who are under great pressure and lead to tragedies. What is even more shocking is that some children actually self-mutilate or commit suicide because their parents took away their mobile phones. . Turn off the computer, walk on the road alone, and think about it again and again. In fact, the answer is obvious and clear at a glance. As life improves, some parents neglect labor education for their children, and have even forgotten the importance of labor to their children's education. Therefore, when these children are slightly stressed or have a slightly unsatisfactory life, their hearts will naturally be vulnerable.
Some people have said that the 21st century is a century of intense competition, and intense competition makes people scared. This sentence has a very clear warning meaning for teenagers. This sentence warns young people in the new era that the era of only academic qualifications is over, and the era of ability first is coming. Today's teenagers should learn to do some labor within their ability and do their own things after studying. Basic life skills must be mastered and cultivated in advance. A high-scoring college student who can't even do laundry or cook will simply not be able to gain a foothold in the future society, or it can be said that it will be difficult to move forward. Through labor, students can adjust their mood and relieve stress, which is a "healthy" lifestyle, which many parents need to learn from and refer to.
Nowadays, teenagers are living in a society with diverse values. It is easy for them to form a one-sided and wrong understanding of happiness, distort their values, and mistakenly believe that meeting their material needs is the unshirkable responsibility of their parents. As everyone knows, happiness comes from struggle. Only in the sweat of labor can you have the true experience of pleasure and happiness. This kind of value recognition is particularly important and valuable.
Labor education is weakened in school education, softened in families, and downplayed in society. Labor is simply separated from intelligence, labor is linked to physical and dirty work, and physical labor is discriminated against. Today, students have a heavy academic burden, their families basically do not participate in housework, and parents do not advocate their children to participate in labor exercises. This further leads to a lack of work spirit, reduced labor opportunities, lack of labor awareness, students who cannot work, despise labor, let alone work. Know how to cherish the fruits of labor.
Facts have proved that labor is the source of all happiness. The beauty of life and the progress of society all stem from ordinary and hard work. Regaining labor education, discovering the beauty of labor, and promoting the spirit of labor are the general trend and crucial. Paying attention to labor education is a concrete manifestation of responsibility for young people and the country. Actively promoting the spirit of labor can enable young people to strengthen their bodies, acquire skills, improve their abilities, and improve their personalities. It can also help young people know how to be grateful, learn to care for and cherish life, and can make all sources of social wealth inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Contribute more wisdom and strength to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Only labor can make dreams come true. Hard work never goes out of style. Today, the value of labor is returning, and the connotation of workers is constantly expanding. Let's work together.
