For Graduates
Be brave enough to try— even if years later you find yourself back where you started, it doesn’t matter… The wisest decision you’ll make at thirty is to avoid wasting your life in unhappiness. That’s when life truly turns.
— Wu Danru, excerpted from “A Letter to Friends Still Standing at the Crossroads at Thirty,” Youth Digest Online
For Those Entering the Working World
The roaring sprints and turbulent upheavals of youth rarely hinge on right or wrong, logic or reason. The word “worthwhile” can be light as air—or carry immense weight. Its measure lies entirely within the heart.
— Yi Xin Jenny, excerpted from “I Know You Will Shine,” China Newsweek WeChat Official Account
For Those Who Keep Striving
When people quietly persevere, their thoughts rise above life’s trivialities.
— Lu Yao, Ordinary World
Even if the world cruelly strips away its illusions,
we still embrace it with passion.
Even if ten thousand stand in our way,
we hold unyielding courage and strength.
Youth is not about age—
it’s a state of mind.
Everyone who gives their all in youth
is the bravest warrior.
Happy Youth Day—let’s celebrate youth!
