The preface written by Chen Duxiu's New Youth in modern times. In Chen Duxiu's view, youth is like early spring, like the sunrise, like the bud of a hundred flowers, like the rebirth of a sword, which is the most precious period of life. It is very important to explain that youth is the most precious period of life, and emphasize its "vigor", "vigor" and "vigor".
Therefore, young people should be "independent rather than slaves, progressive rather than conservative, enterprising rather than retired, sophisticated rather than imprisoned, utilitarian rather than empty talk, and scientific rather than imagination".
Ideological tendency
Adhering to the principle of "the world is not limited to countries", New Youth adopts an open attitude towards various schools and writers of foreign literature. Tolstoy of Russia, Turgenev, Chekhov, antle, Solokov, kuprin, archibald, Xiankovic of Poland, Strasbourg of Sweden, Mo Bosang of France and Wilde of England were successively translated and introduced.
Volume 4, Issue 6 (1965438+June 2008 15) hosted Ibsen. The magazine also translated and introduced the literary papers of Gorky and Luna Charles of the Soviet Union. In addition, he also published many papers about western literary schools and writers by Chen Duxiu, Zhou Zuoren, Tao and Hu Shihe. These translations have played an active role in drawing lessons from foreign literature and promoting the development of literary revolution and new literary creation.
