Chinese youth optimistic

There are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, new research has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.

According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging (新兴的) economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North America and Australia.The survey was carried out between September and October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed 20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.

It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place – the highest percentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing.Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects (前景).

In contrast, young people in France, Italy and Turkey had the most negative outlook on the future, with fears about extremism and the rise of global terrorism.“At a time of nationalist (民族主义的) and populist (民粹主义的) movements [such as Brexit or US President Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall along the US border] that focus on the differences between people, the evidence shows that young people share a strikingly (显著地) similar view of the world,” Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, told The Guardian.“They are a generation that is deeply pessimistic about the future of the world,” he added.

As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change – some 82 percent of those who responded to the survey said so. Pota said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware how serious the problem of climate change is.“This is surely a hopeful development. The young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climate crisis – and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post.

The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the generation that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to forge (建立) friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”

Enjoying beautiful poetry

For thousands of years, poetry (诗歌) has been the favorite type of literature for many in China. As China Highlights website noted, “Chinese literature is one of the major (主要的) parts of China’s ancient traditions, and Chinese poetry is just like the best prize (瑰宝) in this famous culture’s literary treasure house.” There were many famous poets from di?erent periods of time in Chinese history, and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.To remind people of those classic (经典的) Chinese poems and to promote cultural heritage (遗产), China Central Television (CCTV) has produced a TV show – Chinese Poetry Competition. The finale of the hit show’s second season was shown on Feb 7.

Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Afliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode, Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The game’s theme (主题) was “yue”, meaning “moon” or “month” in Chinese. She recited lines from the Classic of Poetry (《诗经》 ), the earliest collection of poems in China: “In July, the crickets are in the field; In August, they are in the yard; In September they are at the door; In October, the crickets enter and crawl under our beds. “
