Song of Youth

About This Novel
The novel describes the tortuous process of how Lin Daojing, a "petty bourgeois intellectual", embarked on the road of revolution and became a proletarian warrior. In order to find a personal way out and escape the fate of being a "plaything" and "vase" for men, Lin Daojing embarked on the road of exile. She ran away from her family and went to Yangjiacun Primary School near Beidaihe to find relatives and work as a substitute teacher. However, the principal Yu Jingtang conspired to marry her off to a local dignitary. In desperation, she threw herself into the sea and committed suicide. She was rescued by Yu Yongze, a Peking University student who had been paying attention to her. The "poet and knight" Yu Yongze awakened Lin Daojing's passion for life. Moved by Yu Yongze's love, she agreed to build a love nest with him. Lin Daojing, who had been lonely and helpless since childhood, temporarily enjoyed the warmth of family. But she was unwilling to be supported by others. First she was frustrated in finding a job, and then she came into contact with the patriotic students of Peking University and was ideologically touched. After meeting Communist Lu Jiachuan, she began to be exposed to revolutionary ideas. Yu Yongze repeatedly prevented her from participating in revolutionary activities, leading to Lu Jiachuan's arrest. Lin Daojing woke up from a dream in the face of the painful facts, determined to leave the vulgar, selfish and mediocre Yu Yongze, and join the torrent of anti-Japanese and national salvation. From then on, under the guidance of revolutionaries, she gradually overcome her weakness and eventually became a mature proletarian revolutionary warrior.

Youth--Comment on "Song of Youth"
"Song of Youth" describes the difficult and tortuous story of Lin Daojing, a young intellectual who refused to succumb to the arrangements of fate, resisted family and society personally, and finally threw himself into the tide of the times and embarked on the road of revolution. In order to resist the one-sided description of "vase" and "soulless puppet" and the fate of relying on others' support, she walked on the road of communism. With the help of revolutionaries, she became a communist revolutionary with a strong heart and unafraid of power. The heroine Lin Daojing lost her mother at a young age and was hated by her family. She did not live a passive life. Instead, she developed hobbies and had a strong belief in going out. From the detached indifference towards the secular world to the enthusiasm for joining the revolution, the waves in Lin Daojing's life rolled through my heart. At the same age, our youth is very different from hers. Her youth has become valuable and meaningful under the baptism of spirit and hardship. The most touching thing about Lin Daojing is the unique enthusiasm and power of young people, and the courage to risk everything to realize their ideals. It was this kind of strength and courage that made Lin Jingdao not choose to perish during that special period of the Chinese nation. Instead, she chose to fight and fight against fate instead of just being an ordinary woman. She was a pioneer in the struggle for truth rather than a victim of life. What is the meaning of life? Everyone has their own answer. As young people who grew up in the period of reform and opening up, we should have a persistence and enthusiasm for the truth in this era. Even if we do not have the realm of Paul's "struggle for the cause of human liberation", nor Lin Daojing's courage at all costs for the realization of communism, at least we should learn to appreciate life and make the main theme of our lives positive, so as not to be troubled by trivial matters. "Song of Youth" marches at the rhythm of youth. The protagonist Lin Daojing slowly changes. She is no longer a weak woman. She gradually becomes strong, brave, and independent. She is not afraid of people's alienation or even complete loneliness. She is not afraid of the pain and blows brought to her by relatives and friends. She is not even afraid of the long-term beautiful relationship with her husband Yu Yongze being broken or separated. Her passion for revolution led her to persevere, even in the face of death! Compared with her, what we have to transcend in our current life will be ourselves. Many of us are content with being dull, doing nothing, lacking the enthusiasm for hard work, and spending our youth in confusion. As a young man with backbone and integrity, we should always be full of hope in life. When faced with difficulties, the first thing we think of is to overcome them rather than escape them, so that youth becomes valuable and meaningful under the baptism of spirit and hardship. The prosperity of the country requires the hard work of our young generation, and ideals are the goal and motivation of our struggle. Lin Jingdao's belief is communism, and her ideal is to realize the cause of communist revolution. On the road of revolution, she realizes that only by constantly transforming her subjective world while transforming the objective world can she have a real future and a way out, and can she have a beautiful youth that is truly worthy of praise. Only by integrating personal future with the destiny of the country and the people's revolutionary cause, investing in the torrent of the times, and constantly transforming one's own subjective world while transforming the objective world, can there be a real future and a way out, and only then can there be a youth that is truly beautiful, prosperous, fulfilling, and worthy of praise.
I finished reading a novel for the first time. Thank you, Teacher Li Yu 🙂
The story is very real, as the author said, and I hope that future young people will know and understand the situation in China at that time. After reading it, at least I feel that I am too happy compared to the youth of the past. In the past, young people associated their ideals with the rejuvenation of the country, prosperity, and strength. Today, in our prosperous and prosperous country, everyone can carry their dreams, struggle, and work hard. But no matter what, what our youth should always remember is to always keep the motherland in our hearts like the revolutionary youth of the past. Only when the motherland is strong can we have more beautiful dreams😽
Very good
Very vivid and very good
sad
I don't know why the reader feels a little sad while reading it. It was so difficult for women in that era!
The red book the teacher asked us to read is pretty good (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡
Nice looking😊 but quite a few pages ٩( 'ω' )و
very good
The content is very substantial and the language is beautiful!
The life of teaching is still very good. At least it is comfortable and does not have to move around. The children are also very cute. Lin Daojing is also very satisfied with this kind of life.
Lin Daojing must have been so fond of Lu Jiachuan. She was shy, respectful and happy towards this man. She liked it but did not dare to express it.
Businessmen and foreign students live in different living environments, and their views on Lin Daojing are also different. In comparison, foreign students need to understand Lin Daojing better.
Language, I love it
