The creativity of the United States comes from two aspects. One is the pious belief and hard work advocated by the Puritan culture, and the other is a young and positive attitude based on his unique geography and history. If one of these two aspects is missing The United States will not be the way we see it today. Without faith, creativity will turn into evil intelligence. Without youth, it will lose human idealism.
The charm of America lies in the new, young, confident and energetic dream he has shown the world, and the cornerstone of this dream is faith and creation.
A person without faith will degenerate, and without diligence, he will be empty talk.
According to the standards of literary and artistic youths spoiled by European art films, typical American campus comedies are very silly, tacky, and naive. When it comes to youth, one always thinks of four hundred times, death poetry club, elephant, or Guling Street and the like. The above-mentioned films are reflective works belonging to non-mainstream intellectuals, while films such as High School Musical and Dance are typical commercial entertainment films, reflecting the mainstream value orientation of the United States, and can be accepted and loved by most audiences in the world. As an ordinary audience, in a movie, I saw pure love, flying youth, happy stories, and saw truth, goodness, and beauty. Isn't that enough?
Beautiful healthy young girl, cheerful and funny singing and dancing, bright and bright colors, it turns out that youth is so beautiful and simple.
Basketball, drama, scientific competitions, the pure affection between young people, sincere and honest friendship, bravely pursuing the dreams in their hearts, and not fearing evil and persisting in struggle until they succeed. Isn't this the ideal that a young man should have.
I think our young friends have forgotten what youth should have been, and they have never even had real youth.
Where is my youth?
In the boring textbooks, in the endless homework, in the confinement of the cram school, in the dull air of the classroom, in the utilitarian love of the parents, in the lies of the teachers, in the complaints of the parents, in In the vent of violence in the virtual world, youth just disappeared.
Whenever I walk down the street and see those bean sprouts or obese boys wearing glasses, or seeing girls without beauty and color hidden by ugly school uniforms, I feel very sad.
Is this the person our education wants to shape?
I remember when I was working on a bus and suddenly heard a young voice behind me talking about a real estate in a certain place. I looked back in surprise. The talking boy was at most 10 years old.
A Chinese child has long understood that people have to consider future work and housing issues, that is, apart from money and food, there is nothing to fight for, and there is nothing worth paying attention to. Naturally, except for these two things. There is nothing to believe.
Some people say that contemporary youth are rebellious and fanatical. In fact, I think that rebellion is false, pragmatism is true, fanaticism is the manifestation, and emptiness is the inner.
It is weird for a person to have no idealism or dreams in his youth, but it is difficult for people to understand in his youth, because the charm of youth lies in innocence and ideals. Innocent eyes can see the imperfections of the world. Idealism is the way for human progress. A youthful nation is always the most enterprising and energetic nation in the world. Seeing Japanese youths planting trees in Inner Mongolia, American youths doing volunteer work in Africa, and even Angelina Jolie, who is considered rebellious by many people, doing charity, I feel the shame of being a former Chinese youth, that is not just because of abundance of money. , What are our rich children doing here? This is not a question of more money, but a question of faith.
People nowadays most like to advertise their non-idealism and how to be self. In fact, what I see in it is not truly American independence and freedom, full of personality, but the gloom and mockery embodied by the typical Chinese-style old-fashioned shrewdness. The mixture of people is not so much rebellion as it is jealousy, and the result of mocking everything ends up denying the person himself.
It's all hype, all for money.
Every generation of youth in China has a feeling of being deceived. This is not the René-style depression after the French Revolution, nor the Witte-style love troubles, nor the American youth's decisiveness against the wheat field of the materialized society. It is swayed by the so-called authority and idols, and fell into fanaticism. In the end, there is a strong self-willing and vengeful hatred after being deceived. This is a kind of anger that has not been paid enough after being used as a tool. And the fiercest anger in each era does not come from poor people at the bottom, but from literati who have not benefited.
Reading is an official, and being an official is to make a fortune.
The purpose of those horrifying horrible myths is nothing more than this.
Therefore, for the material benefits of tomorrow, we can sacrifice today's, only once, the beautiful youth.
It is not good to study well and beg for food in the future---this is enough to kill a person's childhood, youth, and all the good things in life.
Therefore, modern Chinese enlighteners praised youth because they all felt the old man’s personality of the boss empire, and the damage to youth by traditional education. Fear of death, and youth, youth are not afraid of death. Those who try to deceive youth with illusory material benefits in the future and corrupt their ideals with nihilism are afraid of young China, young China, what they are afraid of is the young people’s. Belief.
No matter how many ways I should be blamed, I still admire Qia’s youthfulness and the courage of the dung lands. Youth is ideal, revolution, faith, and action.
The yearning for love, the choice of friendship, friendship, the love of nature, the pursuit of joy, and the persistence of knowledge and ideals, all of these should come from your heart, not forced or an exchange of benefits. The movie is to illustrate this truth.
Beautiful things are simple and natural. Youth should be free, unrestrained, passionate, and simple. After all, there is only one life in life. Sing, dance, and listen to the voice of your soul!
