Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

In early 1979, Liu Yan and several classmates founded an economics publication called "Xueyou Economics" that later became a sensation on the YSU campus.

The main purpose of the establishment of the Jacky Friends Economic Society is to provide suggestions for China's market-oriented economic reform and future economic development, and to do its part as an economist.

During the period when the publication was at its peak, more than 60 people in the entire grade published articles in "Xueyou Economics". There were many scenes described in poems by great men: pointing the country and inspiring words.

In this publication, students from the 77 and 78 classes often argued with the worker, peasant and soldier students from the 75 and 76 classes because of their different views and opinions.

Whenever a war breaks out, the propaganda board in the Yan-Da Triangle becomes a main battlefield filled with smoke.

This dispute lasted until the Spring Festival of 1980.

Workers, peasants, and soldiers of Level 75 and Level 76 began to graduate before the Spring Festival in 1979.Until the Spring Festival of 1980, all of them left the university campus.

From then on, the workers, peasants and soldiers students became a past event, memory and conclusion of that historical era.

In the memory of Liu Yan's previous life, not many people knew that in the history of Huaguo University, there had been a special generation of college students such as workers, peasants, and soldiers.

With the enrollment of the Class of 1979 college students in the summer of 79, every campus in China finally formed a relatively unified ideology.

……

During their four years at Yenching University, college students absorb and supplement not only knowledge, but also the grasp of opportunities and the establishment of concepts.

When the college entrance examination was just resumed in 77, people's minds still had many things that had been instilled in them over the past ten years and needed to be washed over a long period of time.

Yenching University is where this cleaning process begins.

To be honest, many students in the Department of Economics at YSU are still full of confusion, doubts and incomprehensions after enrolling for almost a month:

What is economics?What is political economy?

Including Liu Yan and Fan Lili, they are often confused.

At that time, there were no official textbooks for many subjects, just mimeographed handouts, or the same textbooks used by the 75 and 76 worker, peasant and soldier students.

The moment they first enter the school, every 77-year-old college student has a lofty ideal and ambition in his heart, that is:

In the world, there are still two-thirds of the suffering people living in dire straits, waiting for us to liberate them.

It was only later that I gradually discovered that this was not the case.

It turns out that there is a huge gap between our country and many advanced and developed countries in the world.

From entering the school after the Spring Festival in 1978 until graduating before the Spring Festival in 1982, college students in the Class of 77, together with the entire society, constantly felt the impact of old and new ideas on ideological emancipation, system reform, and ideal reconstruction.

Teachers and students, as well as students, often get into heated arguments over an issue or a point of view.

For example, during the reform, should rural areas be guaranteed to each household?

Can I run a private business?Can private companies hire workers?

Is hiring workers considered exploitation?How many people do you need to employ to be considered exploitative?

How can we create more wealth?

How can we satisfy people's lives?

And this leads to more questions:

How does a company decide to produce?Should there be profit?

What is the theoretical basis for rural household responsibility system?

Why can’t people’s communes solve the fundamental problems in rural areas?

During the long nights after lights out every night, the students would lie in bed and argue endlessly in the dormitory over these issues.

Take Liu Yan and the six of them, for example, if they finally find time to get together, everyone will have a huge quarrel and break up unhappy because of their different opinions and opinions.

"We are a socialist country based on public ownership. How can we allow private enterprises?"

"Isn't it a retrograde step to implement household responsibility in rural areas? What will poor and lower-middle peasants like Uncle Liu do in the future?"

"Aren't the bosses of private enterprises capitalists? Aren't workers going to be exploited again?"

"What kind of enterprise is Yuanping Bamboo Factory?"

……

Even between Liu Yan and Fan Lili, there would often be troubles between the two of them without saying a word to each other for several days because of their different opinions.

Regarding the topic of rural household responsibility system, we were struggling to move forward during the entire school period of Grade 77.

Until the beginning of 1982, when the 77 students graduated, the people's commune system had not yet been announced to be disbanded.

……

The popularity of parades at YSU seems to be the common memory of all YSU students from 1978 to the late 80s.

Especially the night of March 1981, 3, was the most unforgettable night in the campus life of the 20 college students.

That afternoon, in the TV rooms of each dormitory building at Yenching University, excited students had already taken seats with small square stools, waiting to watch the live broadcast of this exciting game.

That night, the Chinese men's volleyball team caught up after being two games behind, winning three games in a row and defeating the South Korean team 3-3.

Won the World Cup Men's Volleyball Asian Qualifiers and also won the qualification to represent Asia in the World Cup Volleyball Tournament.

This legendary game that turned defeat into victory made the YSU students gathered around the radio and TV sets unable to help but raise their arms and shout, and rushed out of the dormitory excitedly.

Overnight, the Yanda campus was in a state of excitement, with students holding lit brooms as torches, marching and shouting slogans.

For a time, the road at Yan's gate was bustling with people.

At the beginning, everyone shouted the slogan "Long live the Chinese team!", and later changed to "Long live the motherland!".

Later, someone got up and sang "Unity is Strength."

In this crowd, a classmate from the Chinese Department of Yan'an University shouted loudly: Students, let's change our slogan to "Unite and revitalize the motherland!" Everyone shouted "Unite and revitalize the motherland!"

These eight short words are the passion aroused by the Chinese men's volleyball team's comeback victory.

It was the strong voice of the times raised by students of Yan University in the 80s.

It is also that Yan University, as the ideological position of China, has once again historically expressed the national spirit.

One person shouted and thousands of people responded, and the sound resounded throughout the entire motherland in an instant.

At that time, the country of China was in a period where everything was in ruins and waiting for prosperity, and people's hearts were relatively scattered.

But the emergence of this slogan immediately united everyone.

The generation of Level 77 is at a critical historical stage in the rise of the Chinese nation.

In everyone's heart, we have always felt that uniting to revitalize the motherland is the glorious mission given to us by history.

For more young people, "Unite and revitalize the motherland" is not only an inspiring slogan, but also a beacon guiding the future path of life.

The resulting discussion on "What is the meaning of life?" has made more and more young students realize that only by integrating their own ego into the greater ego of the motherland and keeping pace with the times can they achieve success. Better realize the value of life.

……

It wasn't until the moment he graduated from college that Liu Yan truly realized the full meaning of being reborn into this world, the meaning of being an intellectual youth who went to the mountains and countryside, and the responsibilities he shouldered as a 77-year-old college student.

Level 77 is a generation that has gone through many hardships.

He experienced three years of natural disasters as a teenager. During his prime years of youth, he interrupted his studies, went to the mountains and countryside, and spent ten wasted years.

Class 77 is in the worst era, and they are part of the 2000 million young people who have been delayed.

But it is the best era. They can stand out from 2000 million young people and catch up with excellent historical development opportunities.

Class 77 is not just an exclusive title for the first batch of college students. It is not only China’s return to knowledge and civilization, but also a return to chaos.

It is an important symbol in the history of China, a turning point in the rejuvenation of a country, and a symbol of an era.

The fate of the 77 college students is quite legendary and is a product of a specific era.

Their experiences, though, cannot be replicated.However, their spirit is worthy of thinking, learning and inheritance by later generations.
