New Era Literature Shaping "New Youth" (Literary Focus)

2023-05-04

Youth is the most active and dynamic force in the entire society, with the hope of the country in youth and the future of the nation in youth. Through the window of literature, observing the appearance of young people in an era can help us grasp the pulse of the times. Since the May Fourth Movement, Chinese literature has created typical images of young people of the era, such as Zijun and Juansheng, Gao Juehui, Lin Daojing, Liang Shengbao, Gao Jialin, and Sun Shaoping. In the past decade, new era literature has also shaped many youth images, including struggling young people in the great cause of the times, confident young people in the world picture, and fearless young people facing new experiences, tests, and problems. The historical changes that have taken place in the new era have attracted the attention of writers. The decisive victory in poverty alleviation and the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization have brought about earth shaking changes in the rural areas of China, and have also spawned many excellent literary works, shaping a large number of young people who have struggled in the great cause of the times. Wu Xiaohao in Zhao Defa's "Jing Shan Hai", Zhang Shaoshan in Wang Song's "Warm Summer", Wang Zhi in Guan Renshan's "Baiyangdian Shang", Chen Fang in Lao Teng's "Warring States Red", and Liu Shulei in Chen Yida's "Spring and Autumn by the Sea" are important achievements in the characterization of rural novels in recent years. In these protagonists, we can see the figures of "socialist newcomers" such as Liang Shengbao. They are passionate about the great cause of rural revitalization, becoming participants and promoters of the great changes in the mountains and towns of the new era, and composing the song of youth in the new era with the most beautiful struggle posture. Taking Wu Xiaohao from Zhao Defa's "Jing Shan Hai" as an example, she came from a peasant family and changed her fate through the college entrance examination, becoming a grassroots cadre. The novel depicts her pioneering measures such as creating e-commerce service points in townships, promoting Danxu archaeology, replanting Kai forests, and creating Kai Po Sea Festival. It showcases her spirit of actively embracing changes in the times, caring for the masses, and constantly exploring. Wang Dandan's poetry collection "Notes on Hualuping" records the author's thoughts and thoughts as a poverty alleviation team member in Hualuping Village. The process of creating these poems is also the process of poets rediscovering themselves and discovering poetry. The lyrical subject "I" in the author's writing reopens the closed self of poetry for a period of time, rebuilding the organic connection between "I" and society and the world, and showcasing the real world in the eyes of those present. The great achievements of the times are not limited to poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. Lao Teng's novel "Northern Love" takes a different path, telling the touching story of a female doctor named Miao Qing who gave up her luxurious life and devoted herself to the revitalization of Northeast China, engaging in the field of aircraft design. It showcases the true love of a generation of young people for technology and serving the country. There are struggling young people in all walks of life. New era literature shows their style in different genres such as novels, poems, essays, reportage, etc. Confident Youth in the World Vision: Since modern times, the stories of Chinese youth overseas have mostly been oppressive and humiliating. Since the reform and opening up, especially in the new era, with the significant improvement of China's economic takeoff and international status, the national self-confidence of Chinese people, especially Chinese youth, has greatly increased. They are engaging in equal dialogue with the world with an open mind and confident attitude. The creators keenly capture this change in mindset among young people. Qiu Huadong's Novel Collection《
