The new three classes generally refer to the three classes of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, with an average age of about 25 at the time of admission5 years old. It is a special group of college students who have graduated from primary and secondary schools from 1966 to 1979.
The new three graduates are the products of the reform era and the trendsetters who participated in the reform and opening up. Famous representatives include Comrade Li, Ma Yongwei, Liu Xiaobo, Zhang Weiying and other figures from all walks of lifeThere are also Comrade Bo, Sima Nan, Jin Canrong, Zhang Wei and others.
If we put it in the modern history of China for more than 100 years, the historical status of the new three groups is far from being comparable with the three major groups of intellectuals that have risen one after another.
First, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the group of intellectuals who gathered in Japan represented by Sun Yat-sen, Liang Qichao, Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, and Lu Xun gathered in Japan. This group became the core of leadership for the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a democratic republic.
The second is the group of intellectuals centered on Peking University who led the New Culture and the May Fourth Movement. The representatives of this group, such as Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, and Hu Shi, may have founded the Communist Party of China and launched China's new democratic revolutionOr for China's scientific and cultural inheritance and innovation, determine the coordinates of the humanistic spirit, and like Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu in the Tang and Song dynasties, it has set up a monument for the future.
The third is a large number of anti-Japanese patriotic intellectuals who emerged from the "129" Movement. Among them, the third generation of intellectuals of the Communist Party of China, represented by Yao Yilin, Deng Liqun, Zhang Jinfu, Hu Qiaomu, Du Lao, Jiang Nanxiang, Lin Hujia, Li Chang, Li Rui, Yu Guangyuan, Hu Jiwei, Ren Zhongyi, Xiang Nan, Liang Xiang, etc., and more than 100 college deans, made up for the almost complete loss of the first generation (during the Great Revolution) and the second generation (during the Agrarian Revolution) of the Communist Party of China, and became a leading figure in all fields of the construction of New China.
Compared with the previous three generations of intellectuals, the historical status of the new three groups may be similar to that of the Huangpu students: they play a non-dominant, but vanguard and backbone role in the great era.
Whether the role positioning of this group is in line with reality, you are welcome to comment and correct.
