Excerpts from paragraphs:
Therefore, today's responsibility lies not with others, but with my youth. The wisdom of teenagers is the wisdom of the country, and the wealth of teenagers is the wealth of the country; A strong teenager makes the country strong, and an independent teenager makes the country independent. Juvenile freedom is national freedom; Juvenile progress, national progress; If teenagers are better than Europe, then China is better than Europe; Teenagers are better than the earth, and the country is better than the earth.

Our country is smart when teenagers are smart, rich when teenagers are rich, powerful when teenagers are strong, independent when teenagers are independent, free when teenagers are free, progressive when teenagers are advanced, superior when teenagers are superior to Europe, and superior when teenagers dominate the world.

works appreciation
On young chinese is one of Liang Qichao's representative works, and it was also a famous article published in Tsing Yi Daily at that time. This article has a great influence. This is a long political paper. From the standpoint of bourgeois reformists, the author made a sharp contrast between China, an ancient feudal country, and the young people in China in his mind. He strongly praised the young people's spirit of being brave in reform, encouraged people to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building China's youth, and expressed their desire and enterprising spirit to make the motherland rich and strong. It is recognized as the most positive and emotional chapter in Liang Qichao's works, and the author himself regards it as his masterpiece of "opening up a new style and inspiring the people"
From an artistic point of view, the value of On young chinese lies in its subversive enrichment of the image system of traditional prose. This paper not only shows the "Lao" in many aspects with national, traditional and household names such as "Sunset Photo", "Wild Cattle", "Autumn Willow" and "Meteorite", thus systematically criticizing the decline of the Qing Empire; Moreover, the rich images provided by the new era, new life, new knowledge and new things such as "Dead Sea", "Pyramid" and "trans-siberian railway" are widely used, thus subtly guiding readers' eyes to a broader, richer, more vivid and more dynamic new world outside the Chinese empire.
In terms of stylistic language, The Story of young chinese is also very representative. The sentence pattern with alternating length and verse style, especially the introduction or creation of new words and images mentioned above, has undoubtedly subverted the vocabulary and syntax system used in China ancient prose. As far as style is concerned.
On young chinese is a fusion of Ci Fu, Si Liu, Rhyme and Ancient Chinese, which is free to shuttle between different bodies and smooth, showing the author's profound artistic skill in operating style. In the evolution history of China's literary language and style, Liang Qichao's prose is undoubtedly a form of transition from classical Chinese to vernacular Chinese, which directly led to the trend of the May 4th vernacular Chinese movement. ?
"On young chinese" eulogizes the heroic future and brilliant future of the motherland, places infinite hope on the young people in China who shoulder the heavy responsibility of building young chinese, and encourages them to rise up and fight for the transformation of China. Written language is characterized by high conciseness, generalization, grandeur and full of emotion. Most of the articles are four words and one sentence, which rhymes. They use rhetorical methods such as repetition, antithesis, metaphor, parallelism, etc., and quote a lot of allusions, which makes the article more convincing and appealing, and makes it sonorous and catchy to read.
