Youth: the hope of realizing the rise of Jiangxi

Students and comrades:

Youth is the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. At any time, young people are the most energetic, creative and vital group in society. The party and the people have high hopes for the youth. In the great practice of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the vast number of young people have made outstanding achievements for the motherland and the people with youthful vitality and enthusiasm!

The May 4th Movement, which broke out 90 years ago, set up a monument to promote China's historical progress and gave birth to the great May 4th spirit of patriotism, progress, democracy and science. Today, we solemnly commemorate the 90th anniversary of the May 4th Movement. We must profoundly grasp the historical position of the May 4th Movement and fully understand its far-reaching historical significance and great practical significance.

The May 4th Movement was a thorough anti-imperialist and anti-feudal patriotic movement. At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the aggression and bullying of imperialism and the corruption and incompetence of feudal autocratic government, the land of China was tottering and the Chinese nation suffered a great disaster. Thousands of warm-blooded young people shouted for saving the country and rejuvenating China, and actively explored the truth and path of saving the country and the people. 19 19 On May 4th, in protest against the imperialist countries' support for Japan's invasion of China at the Paris Peace Conference, thousands of students in Beijing poured into the streets, shouting slogans such as "Fighting for national rights abroad, punishing national thieves at home" and "Abolishing Article 21", which set off a wave of mass struggle across the country. The May 4th Movement is the continuation and new development of China people's past struggles. It clearly runs through the patriotic theme of thoroughly and uncompromisingly opposing imperialism and feudalism and plays the main theme of loving the motherland and rejuvenating China. On the third day after the May 4th Movement broke out, that is, on May 7th, it quickly won the support of Jiangxi, started from Jiujiang, and spread to Nanchang, the provincial capital, on May 2nd, 12, and then spread to cities under the provincial jurisdiction, and continued until May 1920. After 1927, Jiangxi became the center of the armed revolution of China's * * * production party, and it was also a huge testing ground for a large number of young revolutionaries with an average age of only 20 years to realize the ideal of becoming a powerful country.

Jinggangshan Road has finally walked out of the socialist road, and the seedlings of Ruijin Soviet regime have finally grown into a towering tree of "China people and country". Patriotism has been the banner of the youth movement in China since the May 4th Movement. In their own exploration and practice, young people in China have made great efforts to learn and inherit the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, absorb and spread the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and constantly enrich and develop the connotation of patriotism. As Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out: "The patriotism embodied in the May 4th Movement is a vivid portrayal of the indomitable and self-reliant national spirit of the Chinese nation. This eternal great patriotism has been an important source of strength for China's development and progress for thousands of years. All Chinese sons and daughters should cherish and vigorously carry forward this precious spiritual wealth. " At present, the broad masses of young people inherit and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, that is, to observe the future and destiny of China in the world pattern, closely link the development of China society with the progress of the whole human society, adhere to the unity of patriotism and socialism, and turn patriotic enthusiasm into practical actions to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics; Young intellectuals and young students should join the people of the whole country in the great cause of national rejuvenation and never live up to the historical mission and people's expectations.

The May 4th Movement is a profound ideological emancipation movement and a new culture movement. Every liberation of human thought will inevitably bring about social development and progress. As a profound ideological emancipation movement and new culture movement, the most important contribution of the May 4th Movement is to violently impact and clean up the feudal old ethics, morality, ideas and culture for thousands of years, paving the way for the wide spread of new ideas and new cultures in China and bringing earth-shaking changes to the development of China society. After the May 4th Movement broke out, "democracy" and "science" became the two banners of this great movement, and they were also called "democracy" and "science" figuratively. Democracy, first of all, is to overthrow the old autocratic system and realize the liberation, democracy and freedom of the overwhelming majority of the people; Science, first of all, is to explore the scientific truth and development path that guides the people of China to fundamentally change their enslaved and oppressed status. Under the guidance of the two banners of "democracy" and "science", young people and people who love the motherland and pursue progress begin to look at China and the world with new eyes, and think seriously from the recognition of various social thoughts, political opinions and political forces. Less than a year after the May 4th Movement, there were more than 400 new periodicals and more than 300 new progressive societies in China. It can be said that without the May 4th Movement, there would be no ideological enlightenment and liberation of the new culture. Comrade Mao Zedong once praised: "The May 4th Movement was the greatest and most thorough cultural revolution in China's history. At that time, opposing old morality, advocating new morality, opposing old literature and advocating new literature were two flags of the Cultural Revolution and made great contributions. " For our contemporary youth, to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, we must give full play to the advantages of youthful vigor and active thinking, vigorously carry forward the tradition of pioneering spirit, enhance their vigorous vitality, pioneering spirit and adventurous spirit, break through all the cages that bind their thoughts, strive to be at the forefront of emancipating their minds, and constantly create a new situation in career development.

The May 4th Movement was a great movement in which Marxism was spread unprecedentedly. A modern history of China is a process in which advanced elements in China constantly explore the truth of saving the country and the people. However, neither the Reform Movement of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao nor the Revolution of 1911 can save the Chinese nation from dire straits. The May 4th Movement declared the end of the old democratic revolution led by the bourgeoisie and the beginning of the new democracy led by the proletariat, which directly promoted the widespread spread of Marxism and the choice of socialist road by advanced people. After the May 4th Movement, there was a strong call to "transform China". A large number of intellectuals, such as Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and Cai Yuanpei, finally chose the Marxist road through introduction, research, comparison, argument and experiment. During the May 4th Movement, the young working class in China, with its unique firmness and organization, entered the historical stage for the first time in an independent manner, and played the role of the main force in the later period of the movement, which promoted the expansion and deepening of the movement. It is precisely because of the participation of the working class that the May 4th Movement moved towards a broader scope. More importantly, a group of progressive intellectuals emerged in the movement began to consciously publicize Marxism among workers and organize and lead the workers' movement. In this way, Marxism is combined with the workers' movement through the intermediary role of advanced intellectuals in China. It is this combination that laid the ideological and organizational foundation for the establishment of the China * * * Production Party. Since then, Marxism has not only had a reliable material carrier in China, but also

From revolutionary theory propaganda to revolutionary practice, it opened a new era in the history of China in the 20th century. Today, in order to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, young people must always adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, persistently arm their minds with the latest achievements of Marxism in China, earnestly study and truly believe in the Party's innovative theory, thoroughly practice the Party's innovative theory, become firm young Marxists, firmly establish the lofty ideal of striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the firm belief of taking the Party's Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, and grow up healthily in the right direction. The 90-year history since the May 4th Movement has proved that youth has always been the most active, active and vital force in our society. Any achievement in our cause is inseparable from the hard work of young people. It has been held in the north since last year.

In the face of a series of major events, such as the Beijing Olympic Games, the fight against freezing rain and snow, and the Wenchuan earthquake, the younger generation has shown unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm and a strong sense of social responsibility. Facts have proved that the younger generation born in the 1980s and 1990s has great hope, and so does our country and nation.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). The bright prospect of the all-round rejuvenation of the Chinese nation inspires us, as does the historical task of enriching the people and rejuvenating Jiangxi. At the new historical starting point, it is of great significance for us to further carry forward the May 4th spirit, cherish the memory of the revolutionary pioneers, accurately grasp the connotation of the May 4th spirit, inherit the glorious tradition, look forward to a bright future and accelerate the rise of Jiangxi. Take this opportunity to give some hope to the young people in this province. First, keep in mind the lofty mission and strive to be a model with firm ideals and beliefs.

Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, said: "Ideal is the guiding light. Without ideals, there is no firm direction. Without direction, there is no life. " Lofty ideals are not only an important driving force to promote social progress, but also a spiritual pillar to guide people to success. Youth is a critical period for the formation of ideals and beliefs. Throughout the ages, people who have made a difference have lofty ideals and firm beliefs, and most of them are determined to pursue their own lives when they are young. A person can only be young once in his life. When he was young, he closely linked his life with the cause of the party and the people, and he created eternal youth. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation have set up the lofty ideal of materialism and the lofty ambition of saving the country and the people since their youth, and are determined to fight for it. It is with such ideals and beliefs that they can lead revolutionary ships, cross rapids and rapids, overcome stormy waves and finally reach the other side of victory in an extremely harsh struggle environment and in an unfavorable situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak. In this red land of Jiangxi, there are also many young producers and revolutionaries who are fighting bravely for their ideals. Since the May 4th Movement.

Liu Hezhen and Zhao Xingnong, pioneers of the democratic revolutionary movement; From Yuan, the pioneer of spreading Marxism, to Chen Zanxian, the pioneer of the workers' movement in Jiangxi, and countless young heroes who died in the Long March in the Northeast Jiangxi base area and the South Jiangxi Soviet area in the August 1st Uprising and Jinggangshan struggle, it is such firm and lofty ideals and beliefs that they shed their heads, shed their blood, and are not afraid of difficulties and sacrifices. As the martyr Fang Zhimin said before his heroic sacrifice, "The enemy can only cut off our heads and never shake our faith! Because the doctrine we believe in is the truth of the universe! " The vast number of young people in the province should inherit and carry forward the revolutionary ancestors' persistent pursuit of lofty ideals, great loyalty to the party and the people, and persistent pursuit of the revolutionary cause, correctly understand the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, correctly understand the new changes in the international political and economic environment and the new situation of China's economic and social development, improve their identification ability, be good at distinguishing right from wrong, and firmly establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. We have always been firm in our belief in Marxism, in building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics, in reform, opening up and modernization, and in the Party and the government. We should truly combine our personal destiny with the destiny of the party and the country, ensure that our ideals and beliefs are not hesitant, unambiguous and unshakable under any circumstances, and strive to grow into qualified builders and reliable successors of the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Second, master excellent skills and strive to be an example of studious progress.

"If you don't learn, you can't be versatile. If you don't want to learn, you can't succeed." Youth is the golden age of study, especially hard work. If you don't study, you will fall behind and be eliminated by the times. In today's knowledge explosion, the speed of knowledge updating is getting faster and faster, and the cycle of knowledge multiplication is getting shorter and shorter. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, human knowledge doubled every 50 years. By the beginning of the 20th century, this rate had doubled every 65,438+00 years. The knowledge doubling period was 8 years in 1960s, shortened to 6 years in 1970s, shortened to 3 years in 1980s, and doubled 1 year after 1990s. Research data show that in today's accelerating knowledge changes, if an undergraduate graduates within two years, a master graduates within three years, and a doctor graduates within four years, their professional knowledge will become outdated if they don't replenish new knowledge in time. This makes the learning task of teenagers more arduous and urgent than ever before. The majority of young people should inherit the spirit and quality of the May 4th youth who are diligent in learning and thirsty for knowledge, regard learning as the first need and the first task of personal growth, internalize it into their attitude towards life, lifestyle and lifelong pursuit, and strive to take the lead in learning, continuous learning and lifelong learning with the spirit of seizing every minute, perseverance and never-ending climbing spirit. We should not only learn professional knowledge and improve job skills, but also broaden our horizons and optimize our knowledge.

To understand this structure, we should not only study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and science.

Basic Marxist theories such as the concept of development and the theoretical innovation achievements of the party, but also learn various knowledge such as economy, culture, science and technology, law and finance; We should not only study hard scientific and cultural knowledge, but also establish scientific concepts, master scientific methods and cultivate scientific spirit; We should not only learn from books, but also learn from practice, and strive to enrich ourselves, enrich ourselves and improve ourselves with all the outstanding achievements of civilization created by mankind.

The future belongs to young people as well as knowledgeable young people. At present, a new technological revolution led by information technology is booming, and every young person in it has deeply felt the strong impact brought by the network, platform and digitalization. As of March 2009, the total number of Internet users in China has reached 3160,000, an increase of162,000 over the end of last year, with a penetration rate of 22.6%, exceeding the global average. The number of Internet users using mobile phones reached1.65,438+0.7 million, an increase of 1.3 times compared with last year. Especially with the wide application of 3G technology, the networked and three-dimensional information release and communication mode will bring greater impact to the traditional and one-way communication mode. At present, the Internet has become a distribution center of various social thoughts and interests, with a strong gathering and "amplification" effect, and its coverage is getting wider and wider, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger. For example, on June 2 last year, the number of clicks I interacted with netizens exceeded 6.5438+million, and the whole "questioning" activity was actively participated by many netizens, including college students. * * * Received 42,000 suggestions and more than 60,000 net posts. Therefore, we young people must keep up with the development trend of science and technology, learn the most cutting-edge knowledge, the most advanced technology and the most modern means, and strive to cultivate ourselves into elites and pillars that conform to the trend of the times and walk in the forefront of the times.

Third, actively participate in practice and strive to be a model of innovation and entrepreneurship.

History and reality tell us that no matter a country or a region, only by being brave and good at innovation can we gain inexhaustible development momentum and be at the forefront of the times. People's value lies in creative thinking. Puxi, the former president of Harvard University in the United States, once profoundly pointed out that whether a person has the ability to innovate is the watershed between first-class talents and third-rate talents. Young people are full of energy, quick thinking, dare to be the first, at least have old ideas, have the most creative vitality and are the hope of innovation. Many outstanding people made great achievements when they were young. Newton discovered the law of gravity at the age of 23, Einstein published his special theory of relativity at the age of 26, Meyer discovered the first law of thermodynamics at the age of 28, Bell made the world's first practical telephone at the age of 28, Edison invented the electric light at the age of 32, the Wright brothers invented the first manned power plane at the age of 32, and Nobel invented explosives at the age of 27. Gates founded Microsoft at the age of 20. The average age of the first-line scientific and technical personnel carrying out the Shenzhou VII mission in China is only over 30 years old. Many young technical backbones have provoked the girders. The average age of Yuan Zhenghai's team of jiangling motors Group in our province is less than 35 years old. In just a few years, 48 people.

Won the honorary titles of China Skills Award, National Technical Expert and National Model Worker. The vast majority of young people must learn from advanced models, fully stimulate their innovative ability and creativity, dare to abandon outdated ideas and concepts, dare to get rid of all stereotypes and bad habits that are incompatible with the development of advanced productive forces, dare to explore and be the first, strive to cultivate innovative spirit, improve their innovative ability, and devote themselves to innovative practice, so as to play a greater role in implementing the strategy of rejuvenating Jiangxi through science and education. Youth is a good opportunity to start a business in life, and it is also the most likely time to produce entrepreneurial achievements. In recent years, the province has introduced many policies to promote entrepreneurship for all, and a large number of promising young people have seized the opportunity to work hard and created a new world. For example, Peng Xiaofeng, only 34 years old, first studied international trade, and only came into contact with the photovoltaic industry in 2003. With perseverance, in just six years, Jiangxi LDK Solar High-tech Co., Ltd., which he founded, became the largest photovoltaic enterprise in Asia and was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He himself was awarded the title of "Sunday". Not long ago, our province held a typical report meeting on returning migrant workers' entrepreneurship, and many young people's entrepreneurial deeds were worth learning. Today's era provides a brand-new dance for youth entrepreneurship.

Taiwan Province has expanded a vast space. The vast number of young people must seize the opportunity, fight the storm in the tide of market economy, hone their talents, be brave in starting a business and achieve great things. Only when the enthusiasm of every youth is fully exerted and everyone's potential is effectively released can we better promote the creative source of the whole society, stimulate vitality and continuously accelerate economic and social development.

Fourth, improve moral cultivation and strive to be a pioneer in carrying forward the new socialist fashion.

The ancients said: cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order, govern the country and level the world. Youth is a critical period of moral cultivation, and youth is a positive force leading social fashion. Paying attention to moral cultivation in youth and striving to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values will have a far-reaching impact on their own growth.

"Heart is the foundation, and cultivation is the foundation." Moral education is no exception to the cultivation of teenagers' good moral character from ancient times to the present. China's traditional ethical thought is based on Confucius and Mencius' ancient Confucianism in China, and advocates the cultivation of "benevolence" and the moral concepts of benevolence, courtesy, faithfulness and harmony. In ancient education in China, personality education was the first, followed by knowledge education. Three-character classics, thousand-character texts, exegesis for children, disciples' rules, book of rites, etc. They are all well-known enlightenment textbooks that have been handed down to this day. UNESCO listed the Three Character Classics in the "World Children's Moral Education Series", which shows its far-reaching influence. At present, the CPC Central Committee has always incorporated moral education into quality education, made a series of decision-making arrangements, such as studying and practicing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace and building a socialist core value system, and vigorously promoted ideological and moral construction. However, with the rapid development of information technology, the rapid transformation of society and the collision of various cultural trends of thought, some young people lack morality and are not ashamed of some ugly phenomena, but proud of them. Some young people don't pay attention to civility and politeness, and even regard bohemian as chic, vulgar as elegant and casual as easygoing; Some don't talk about honesty, renege or even derail; Some young people have no respect for the elderly, are unfilial to their relatives, and even abuse the elderly, and so on. These moral deficiencies of teenagers deserve our great attention, which is an important topic that we must study and solve in building a harmonious society.

The ancients said, "Talent without virtue is not far away." Teenagers' morality reflects and determines the civilization accomplishment of a society and a nation to a great extent. A very important aspect for us young people to inherit the May 4th spirit is to organically combine the May 4th spirit with the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the socialist core value system and with the excellent culture of our province. Since ancient times, Jiangxi has had the reputation of "a treasure of things, outstanding people and outstanding people" with profound historical and cultural heritage; Jiangxi is also an old revolutionary base area with glorious revolutionary traditions, which need to be passed on and carried forward by the vast number of young people and carried forward in practice. The vast majority of young people in the province should take the lead in advocating and practicing the basic socialist moral norms of patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and honesty, unity and friendliness, diligence and self-improvement, and dedication, starting from myself, starting from the side and starting from small things, promoting the formation and development of a good social atmosphere, taking serving the people as their own value orientation and code of conduct, pursuing good social morality, professional ethics and family virtues, and advocating a healthy, civilized and scientific lifestyle. Resolutely resist the erosion and influence of various decadent ideas, strive to become the most active group to study and practice the socialist core value system, become the first backbone to lead the social atmosphere, become the inheritor of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, the practitioner of the new moral norms and the advocate of good social customs, and establish a good image of the new generation of young people serving the society, contributing to the society and maintaining social harmony and stability through practical actions.

Fifth, carry forward the fine traditions and strive to be an example of hard struggle in the new period.

Hard work is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, the important content of our national spirit and the basic quality that young people in China should have in the new century. It can be said that the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization is a glorious history of hard struggle and continuous creation. Mencius once said: "Heaven will take great responsibility for Sri Lankan people, so we must first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies." In the long years since the May 4th Movement, the revolutionary ancestors, in pursuit of national rejuvenation, faced with all kinds of difficulties and tests, were indomitable and persevering, and won one victory after another, relying on this spirit of hard struggle.

General Secretary Hu Jintao once pointed out that it is difficult for a nation to stand on its own feet without the support of the spirit of hard struggle. A country without the support of the spirit of hard struggle is difficult to develop and progress; It is difficult for a political party to flourish without the support of the spirit of hard struggle. From Redmi pumpkin soup in Jinggangshan period to eating grass roots and cooking belts on the way to the Long March; From War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, with a gun in one hand and a pickaxe in the other, to land reclamation while fighting, to the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea with fried noodles and snow, and then to starting a business from scratch in peacetime, it is with this precious spirit that we have overcome all kinds of difficulties and created the glorious position of the Chinese nation in the history of world civilization. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has made remarkable achievements, and Jiangxi's development has achieved a historic leap. At the same time, some young people have developed hedonism and are unwilling to lead a hard life. Some young people are used to reaching for clothes, reaching for food, coveting comfort and hating labor; Some pay attention to ostentation and extravagance, compare with each other, eat delicious food, wear famous brands and play high-end; Some are extravagant and extravagant. It should be noted that China is still in the primary stage of socialism, and our province still belongs to the underdeveloped areas in central China. We didn't.

The reason is high consumption. There is no reason to talk about extravagance, let alone extravagance and waste. "Looking ahead to the sage countries of the past, turning frugality into extravagance and failure". The more we develop, the more we should advocate hard work. The great cause of building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics is very arduous, which requires the long-term hard work of the people of the whole country, especially the youth.

"Difficulties and hardships, Yucheng." Hardship is a big school. Hard work can temper the will, cultivate sentiment and achieve great things. Sima Qian said in his preface: "King Wen was arrested and performed Zhouyi, while Zhong You wrote Spring and Autumn Annals. Qu Yuan was exiled and Li Sao was given. Zuo Qiu is blind, but there is Mandarin, Sun Tzu is fat, and Sun Tzu's art of war has been revised. " It's not Shu, but Lu Lan. Han Fei imprisoned Qin, expressing embarrassment, loneliness and anger. There are 300 poems, which are generally the angry works of sages. "The reason why these great figures and works are handed down from generation to generation is because the authors are still indomitable after experiencing great setbacks and hardships, which fully shows that hard work is the key to achieving goals and success. The vast number of young people should deeply understand the basic national conditions and conditions that we must face for a long time, turn the spirit of the May 4th Movement into a powerful driving force to forge ahead, strive to be self-reliant, fearless, hardworking, thrifty and selfless, and always be at the forefront of Jiangxi's economic construction and reform and opening up. We should always keep a clear head, always maintain a good mental outlook, never bow down in the face of difficulties, never be afraid in the face of danger, never be discouraged in the face of setbacks, open roads on every mountain, bridge bridges when encountering water, regard difficulties and contradictions as opportunities to challenge ourselves, constantly enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility to catch up with the first class, and open up new horizons in the process of solving one problem after another. Especially in the current severe employment situation, we young people should make progress despite difficulties, strive for self-improvement, be down-to-earth, take the initiative to go to the grassroots, go to the harsh environment, go to the places where the motherland and people need it most, shoulder the heavy burden bravely in the front line of reform and construction in our province, work hard, create eternal youth in the struggle, create extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts, and realize their life value in selfless dedication.
