In 1916, New Youth published Li Dazhao's article "Youth".
Mr. Li Dazhao was 27 years old at the time, the age of "youth". In that era of dire straits, he thought of spring in life, thought of spring in politics, and longed for China can get rid of the situation of decadence and decline and regain the country's spring.
So I wrote the article "Youth", "With my youthful self, I will create a youthful family, a youthful country, a youthful nation, a youthful humanity, a youthful earth, and a youthful universe." How enlightening and awakening! This article sounded the charge of ideals, awakening countless young people and the times.
Comrade Li Dazhao is not only a great man, but also an outstanding figure in my country's ideological and cultural circles at the beginning of the 20th century. He left behind a large number of works, manuscripts and translations, covering philosophy, economics, law, history, ethics, aesthetics, journalism, librarianship and many other fields, making important contributions to the ideological and cultural construction of China in the 20th century. As Mr. Lu Xun said: "His legacy will live forever, because it is the legacy of a pioneer and a monument in the history of revolution."
Comrade Li Dazhao is an example of integrity and high moral character. Comrade Li Dazhao has high moral character, is loyal and modest, and is good at uniting people. He said: "We all have our own upright personality and our own true and simple life. We should cherish, cherish, treasure, and value it. We should never throw it away lightly, make sacrifices for family, relatives, and friends, or live for glitz and vulgarity. Benefit as a slave.
