Youth Day Planning: Recalling youth, what advice do you have for "youth"?
BEIJING, Beijing, May 4 (Reporter Zhang Ni) "Youth is like early spring, like the morning sun, like the germination of Baihui, like the new development of a sharp sword, and the most precious period of life." This sentence in the publication of "New Youth" in 1915 is still sung after more than a century.
How did you spend your youth? What are the unforgettable experiences? What do you want to say to young people now? On the occasion of the May 4th Youth Day, "experienced people" from different occupations and different ages shared their memories of youth with reporters from Zhongxin. com.

"Give yourself some pressure, mental and physical suffering to eat."
— — Liu Haiying, 53, director of spinal surgery, Peking University People’s Hospital.
Recalling the experience of studying in those years, Liu Haiying, who has been holding a scalpel for more than 30 years, still feels a lot.
When I was a child, I subsidized my family to paste matchboxes and went to work on the construction site during my college years to earn tuition … … Liu Haiying remembers the hardships he experienced when he was young.
After graduating from college, he failed to enter his favorite surgery for various reasons, but was assigned to the oncology department of a local hospital. However, he did not give up his ideal, and took the initiative to apply for exercise in the countryside in the second year, because there, he had the opportunity to get in touch with surgery.
"The place where I work is in the mountains, there is no water and electricity, and I need some wax when reading at night." Liu Haiying spent a year in this environment, working during the day and preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination at night until after midnight. A year later, he was admitted to the Graduate School of Beijing Medical University.
After graduating from Ph.D., Liu Haiying entered the Department of Orthopaedics of Peking University People’s Hospital. However, it is not easy to stand on the coveted operating table. Because his skin was allergic to the hand brush used for disinfection at that time, his hand festered, and he had to endure terrible pain every time the wound was washed by alcohol. But the more so, the more he cherishes the opportunity to go to the operating table every time.
In 1995, Liu Haiying became the first surgeon in China to receive a Braun Scholarship to study in Germany. After returning to China, he set up the Spinal Surgery Department of Peking University People’s Hospital, which is also the earliest spinal surgery team in China. In his career of more than 30 years, he has performed nearly 10,000 operations.
He said that if he had not suffered mental and physical pain in those years, he would not have had his current feelings and achievements.
Today, Liu Haiying is also taking graduate students, many of whom are post-90s young people. He often laments that these children are better in knowledge and understanding than when he was young, but they also lack some hard-working spirit.
"Young people still have to put some pressure on themselves. Both mental and physical suffering should be tolerated. It is adversity that shapes a person." Liu Haiying said.

“Go to the library more often and make good use of college time."
— — Li Feng, 74, is a retired teacher in a university in Beijing.
74-year-old Li Feng (pseudonym) is the first generation of college students in New China. After graduating from college in 1965, he was assigned to work in the frontier and spent 15 years. Because of the special era, his major was once abandoned during this period.
In 1978, graduate students resumed enrollment. At that time, he was married and had children. He decided to resume his major and apply for graduate students.
"In order to prepare for the exam, I review until three or four o’clock in the morning and get up at seven o’clock to work on time. Without review materials, I asked my classmates to send me books. At that time, I finished reading all the books related to my major that I could find. " Li Feng recalled.
In 1980, at the age of 37, he was admitted to a graduate school in a university in Beijing with excellent results. When studying for a master’s degree, Li Feng still forgot to eat or sleep. He said, "At that time, there was no internet or TV, and almost all of my spare time was spent in the library. Sometimes I spent the whole day in a bath and didn’t come out until dark."
Li Feng has been dealing with college students for more than 30 years, and the number of students he has taken has been countless. In his eyes, today’s children have better learning conditions, but they are also lazy.
"The study time in the university is very precious, which is the key to laying the foundation. We should go to the library more and make good use of the university time." Li Feng said.

The greatest advantage of our generation is practicality, and this generation is more impetuous.
— — Zhang Zhiguo, 61, is a salesgirl at Yong ‘an Road Department Store.
After jumping the queue and returning to the city in 1976, Zhang Zhiguo entered Beijing Yong ‘an Road Department Store as a salesman. After retiring, he accepted the re-employment and has been standing at the counter for 41 years.
Talking about his youth, he said with a smile: "Our generation is too old-fashioned, always unable to jump out of their own circles, unlike young people today, full of vigor and ideals!"
In Zhang Zhiguo’s view, today’s post-80s and post-90s generation are "ambitious and enterprising", not as cautious as they were in the past, but this generation is also more impetuous.
"The greatest advantage of our generation is honesty, practicality, not so crazy, and living frugally." Zhang Zhiguo said that because he had suffered in the countryside, he cherished the job opportunities when he returned to the city, so he wanted to do a good job.
But Zhang Zhiguo is very optimistic about the future of young people. He said, "Young people have more ideas than us and hope to do better than us!"

"Settle down to have a certain accumulation in one field."
— — Xie Xuhui, 35, chairman of Huiju Group.
Xie Xuhui, born in 1981, is a leader among his peers. He has many labels on his body — — Chairman and President of Huiju Group, Vice President of China Business Federation, Executive Director of china enterprise confederation, etc. For the "entrepreneurial fever" pursued by young people, Xie Xuhui’s "entrepreneurial advice" may be worthy of reference by young makers.
Recalling his own entrepreneurial experience, Xie Xuhui laughed and said "I didn’t want to be a millionaire". "The college students who graduated at that time didn’t have any concept of starting a business. Being a civil servant, entering a state-owned enterprise or a foreign enterprise is the first choice for many people." Xie Xuhui recalled.
In 2003, Xie Xuhui graduated from University with a bachelor’s degree, and then worked in a Fortune 500 logistics enterprise. After working in two companies successively, he gradually saw the shortcomings in the operation of intellectual property rights in China, so he sprouted the idea of establishing an intellectual property service organization.
At the end of 2009, he started a business with several peers, and in 2013, he founded Huiju.com, an intellectual property trading and comprehensive service platform. In more than seven years, his team has grown from the initial nine people to more than 2,600 people.
Looking back on the experience of these years, Xie Xuhui said: "In these years, I have never taken a Chinese New Year holiday. The most exaggerated time is that the meeting will last until two or three o’clock in the evening. Without such persistence, I may not have today’s achievements."
However, for young people who are about to leave the campus, Xie Xuhui gave advice with his own personal experience: "We didn’t start a business for the sake of starting a business, but we did see the market demand. Young people still have to find jobs before starting a business. Step down and have a certain accumulation in a field. In addition, entrepreneurship also requires core expertise and intellectual property rights, and it also requires perseverance. "

"Any job well done can produce results."
— — Chang Hongxia, 39, is a bus driver of Beijing Public Transport Group No.1.
"Since I was a child, I feel that driving a bus is a particularly imposing thing, especially for female drivers, who are heroic!" Chang Hongxia, born in 1978, has been a bus driver for 16 years. Recalling her original career choice, she still uses "wisdom" to evaluate it.
In 1995, Chang Hongxia, who graduated from vocational high school, became a bus conductor. Five years later, she wanted to be a driver, and she got a driver’s license through hard work, and held the steering wheel as she wished the next year.
Recalling the scene when I first joined the work, Chang Hongxia used a word "bitter" to describe it.
"In the past, our bus was an old-fashioned car, which was not airtight and drafty. In winter, after running for a day, people were frozen." Chang Hongxia said that in winter, she would wrap her feet with plastic sheets and then wear socks. Her shoes in winter were two sizes bigger than usual.
Even now, Chang Hongxia often can’t eat at work, and sometimes she doesn’t even dare to drink more water in order not to go to the toilet, but she never thought about changing jobs.
Chang Hongxia said that many children younger than her now think that bus drivers or flight attendants are not a glamorous job, but she believes that any job can be done well.
In 2010, Chang Hongxia participated in the first bus professional skills competition held in Beijing, and stood out from more than 8,000 contestants, winning the ninth place. She was the only female athlete in the top ten.
She concluded: "people should have the strength to admit defeat, look for one thing and do it well!" " (End)
