The sky is gray and the wilderness is vast. Where did China teenagers stand on their own feet?

From Liang Qichao's young chinese Theory in modern times. The article strongly praises the young people's vigor and vitality, and points out that China under feudal rule is the "old empire", and is eager to see the emergence of "young people in China" to cheer people up. The article is informal and uses metaphors, which is very encouraging. With a strong enterprising spirit, the author has placed his love and expectation on the youth in China.

Original text (excerpt):

Heaven and earth are grey and the drought is boundless. It is the responsibility of China teenagers, China teenagers and China teenagers to hold their heads high and strive for self-improvement. So today's responsibility lies not with others, but with my youth.

Translation:

The world is vast and dry. Teenagers in China should stand tall and stand on their own feet. Young people in China should shoulder the responsibility of building young people in China, which is the responsibility of young people in China.

The background of "young chinese Theory"

Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and the national crisis was unprecedented. On young chinese was written in 1900, and Liang Qichao was exiled to Japan after the Reform Movement of 1898. That year was the boxer movement year. At that time, due to imperialist aggression, the Boxer Patriotic Movement broke out in China. Imperialism united to form Eight-Nation Alliance, colluded with the Qing government, suppressed the Boxer Rebellion, and captured Tianjin and Peking.

At that time, Eight-Nation Alliance created public opinion and slandered China as "the old empire", "the sick man of East Asia" and "divided", unable to stand on its own feet, and had to be managed or carved up by the great powers. Among China people, there are some ignorant and fatuous people who shout "China can't die without justice" and "any big country can die in China in three days" and spread pessimism. The national crisis is unprecedented, and the whole nation is facing a crisis of confidence.

The failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 forced Liang Qichao to flee to Japan, but he did not give up his efforts to strengthen the country through reform. In Japan, he founded Qingyi Daily and tried his best to publicize the continuation of the Reform Movement through the media. At that time, imperialism created public opinion, slandered China as the "boss empire", and was full of contempt and disdain for China.

In order to refute the imperialists' shameless abuse, correct the servile psychology of some people in China, arouse people's patriotic enthusiasm, and arouse national pride and self-confidence, Liang Qichao wrote this article on young chinese in due course.
