Integrate the blood of youth into the torrent of the times ■ Xie Xinping (I) History is like a surging river. Last year, we just celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. This year, we usher in the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese people's Liberation Army and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China. The Centennial party is in its prime. Isn't our people's army, founded and absolutely led by the party, also a square of youth? The people's army will always take young people as the main body and vanguard. Let's go back to the depths of history and see what the predecessors of this army were doing in their youth—— Nanchang Uprising (oil painting). Shen Jizhong In 1927, Nanchang Uprising, Autumn Harvest Uprising and Guangzhou Uprising, a group of passionate young people participated in the grand event: Mao Zedong was 34, Zhou Enlai was 29, he long was 31, Ye Ting was 31, Liu Bocheng was 35, Luo Ronghuan was 25, Su Yu was 20, he Changgong was 27, Ye Jianying was 30, Chen Geng was 24, Nie Rongzhen was 28, Xu Guangda was 19, Lu Deming was 22, Luo Ruiqing was 21, Tan Zheng was 21, Zhang Tailei was 29, Qu Qiubai was 28 On Luoxiao mountain, when he held a senior position in the Red Army: Wang Jiaxiang, vice chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and director of the General Political Department of the Red Army, 25 years old; Nie Rongzhen, political commissar of the first Red Army, 33 years old; Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the first Red Army Corps, 28 years old; Peng Dehuai, 32, head of the third Red Army; Yang Shangkun, political commissar of the third Red Army Corps, 27 years old; Deng Ping, chief of staff of the third Red Army Corps, 22 years old; Xiao Hua, political commissar of the "international division of the Communist Party of China", 17 years old Most of them are the "post-90s" in the 19th century and the "post-00s" in the 20th century. Jin Yinan commented in suffering and glory: "it was an era when people did great things at a young age and lost their lives at a young age. No one was old and respected. No one studied longevity and maintenance. The era that needed blood can only be the era of young people." When the salute of the founding ceremony sounded, the young people of the army had completed their mission with honor and engraved their names into the National Monument. However, the pace of youth in this army has not stopped, and the young shoulders are always bearing it. "If we don't fight this war, our next generation will fight!" In 2021, the film "Changjin Lake" was popular. The volunteer officers and soldiers braved the bitter cold to fight with the enemy's dense artillery fire. A hot word from their heart made countless Chinese people burst into tears. In the great war of founding the country, nearly 200000 young Chinese heroes and daughters threw their blood on the land where Jindalai was in full bloom. Among them are Huang Jiguang, 21, Qiu Shaoyun, 26, and Yang Gensi, 28 "Clear love, only for China." A generation of young people has the mission of a generation of young people. 2020: snow border defense. Facing the illegal infringement and provocation of foreign forces, Chinese soldiers in the new era engraved their strong will on the cliff: "great rivers and mountains, no land". In this border defense battle, four young officers and soldiers died bravely. They are Chen Hongjun, 33, Xiao Siyuan, 24, Wang zhuoran, 24, and Chen Xiangrong, 19. Warm blooded garrison. Photographed by Zhou Kaiwei The hundred year long river is always surging with the waves of youth. When we pay tribute to these forever young heroes, the rolling torrent of the times is also asking our hearts—— Why do the young people of this country always stand up and fight with their lives at the critical juncture of national crisis? Why do the young people of this army always go one after another at the critical moment of the needs of the motherland? President Xi said: "practice has fully proved that Chinese youth are young people with lofty ideals! Chinese youth are young people with deep feelings of family and country! Chinese youth are young people with great creativity! Chinese youth have always been the vanguard force in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the past, now and in the future!" Standing on the Bank of the long river in the 21st century, facing this era of clouds and waves, history has told the future that the latter waves are comforting the former waves. (II) "The time has come! The tide of the world is more urgent! The gate of Dongting Lake has moved and opened!" In 1919, 103 years ago, Xiangjiang review, a tabloid newspaper in Changsha, Hunan Province, issued a startling cry in its inaugural issue—— "The world, our world; the country, our country; the society, our society. Who says if we don't say it? Who does if we don't do it?" Set sail (oil painting). Data map Who's cheering? It is not the princes and generals, dignitaries and dignitaries, celebrities, masters and businessmen, but Mao Zedong, a young Hunan man in a coarse cloth gown. This year, he was 26 years old. Two years later, the 28 year old Mao Zedong walked into the small Shikumen building on Wangzhi road in the French concession of Shanghai, boarded the red boat on the South Lake of Jiaxing, and became one of the founders of the Communist Party of China. Dark China, rising star. The 13 young people who created the world, with an average age of 28. The rope to save the nation from danger was tied on their young shoulders with their historical conscious hands in that era of awakening. The mountains and rivers were broken, the land of China sank, the warlords fought in a scuffle, the people were unable to make a living, the powers were divided up, the wolves were surrounded, the sand was scattered, and the spirit was numb... Old China in that era was "an iron house" written by Lu Xun, which was "absolutely hard to break without windows"; This is the "feast of people", which must be destroyed. How difficult is it to change the world and turn the world around? How long is it? How much blood will flow? How much sacrifice do you have to make? The walker has set out. Where is the way out? History is hard to assume, but the truth lasts forever. China's advanced young people who pursue the truth of Marxism have taken on a new look in their ideals and beliefs, which has brought a new look to China's revolution. Seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. The original intention of the Chinese Communists sprouted in the hearts of this group of Chinese young people. After wind and rain, they finally became huge trees, tall and upright and towering. Red boat oath. Liu junshe From Shikumen to Tiananmen, from boarding a small red boat to steering a Chinese giant ship. Today, we praise them as athletes, proud children, pillars and pioneers. However, their strength was as weak as the earth that gave birth to them; The Young Communist Party of China composed of them has also gone through an extremely difficult and rugged road in exploring the truth of saving the country and the people. "A man with five thousand soldiers, an enemy of one hundred thousand troops, plans to give up the lack of soldiers and become a new horse. If he wants to survive, he must struggle." Despite all difficulties and dangers, those young people's faith in spiritual struggle has never wavered, hesitated or slackened. —— This belief of struggle is written in Marx's high school graduation thesis at the age of 17: "if we choose the career that can work best for mankind, then the burden can't overwhelm us, because this is a sacrifice for everyone... Our career will exist silently, but it will always play a role, and in the face of our ashes, noble people will shed tears." —— This belief in struggle was written in Mao Zedong's speech "permanent struggle" in May 1939: "China's youth movement has a good revolutionary tradition, which is" permanent struggle. "" permanent struggle "is the most important one. Without this one, everything is empty." "if you want to fight to death, you have not reached the goal of permanent struggle". —— This belief of struggle is written in the unremitting pursuit of truth by Chinese youth. During the Anti Japanese War, the small city of Yan'an welcomed more than 1000 hot-blooded young people who came from mountains and rivers at most one day. A young man from Guangdong named Fan Cheng was seriously ill on the way. His life came to an end when he was 20 kilometers away from Baota Mountain. When he fell to the ground, his hands were still stubbornly stretched forward. Among the young people of that generation, there is a popular song: "break bones and connect tendons, pick up skin and meat, and have a heart. As long as you still have one breath, you can climb to Yan'an City!" President Xi stressed: "the Chinese people and the Chinese nation understand from the practice of struggle that China's social development, the revitalization of the Chinese nation and the happiness of the Chinese people must be achieved through their own heroic struggle. No one will give us a bright China." History clearly and profoundly shows that unswervingly following the party is the most valuable experience of Chinese youth's Centennial struggle. The red gene deeply integrated into the blood is the most precious wealth of Chinese youth's Centennial struggle. Only with the struggle of the Communist Party of China can the Chinese youth movement have a vibrant future and the Chinese nation have a brilliant future. Youth is burning with faith; Youth burns for faith. (III) "When judging each generation, we should see whether they have faced up to the biggest and most important problems of human society." In the third year of the founding of the Communist Party of China, a Jewish baby named Henry Kissinger was born in Germany. Later, the Western politician known as "the best understanding of China" and the leading "China hand" of the United States said the above sentence in his book world order. His other influential monograph in the west is on China. Kissinger's eyes have observed generations of young people in China. He said, "for the young Chinese, I have known their parents. We have gone through a long time now." China is always well protected by their bravest people. ". Perhaps, this "understanding" is wise, but it is far less profound than generations of Chinese youth's understanding of their mission. For Chinese youth in the past 100 years, "the biggest and most important issue" is the first sentence in the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China: "get up, people who don't want to be slaves!" Tian Han and Nie Er, the war song composed by two hot-blooded young people at the time of national crisis, is the main melody of Chinese youth's struggle in the past 100 years. "Get up! Get up! Get up!" The passionate movement repeatedly sung in the national anthem is just like the "trilogy" of the Chinese nation towards Rejuvenation - stand up, get rich and become strong. "The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can never be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums." Over the past 100 years, the three "rises" for which generations of Chinese youth have struggled have been besieged and intercepted by various hostile forces. In 1936, in the cave at the foot of Yan'an Pagoda mountain, Mao Zedong recalled the extraordinary years and wrote: "the enemy regards the Red Army as a foreign object and wants to capture it as soon as it appears. The enemy always follows the Red Army and always surrounds it. This form has not changed in the past ten years..." he further predicted that "this form will not change until the day when the enemy becomes weak and the Red Army becomes strong." To be honest. From stifling survival to curbing development, hostile forces have always been scheming and calculating everything. Today, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. They still have no bottom line. Blockade, sanctions, suppression, threats, provocations, abuse and slander... The more stable China stands, the better it does and the faster it goes, the more unbalanced, anxious and manic they become. "The enemy besieged thousands of people.". The officers and soldiers of the Red Army had only one choice, that is to fight! "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road". Today's Chinese youth have only one choice, that is still fighting! On July 1, 2021, celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China
