40年前,随着毛泽东“知识青年到农村去,接受贫下中农再教育”的一声令下,波澜壮阔的上山下乡热潮立时席卷中国大地,千百万怀揣理想的青年纷纷奔赴边疆、农村。岁月虽已远去,但知青群体因其承载过共和国的沧桑变化而成为中国难忘的记忆;更因其以青春的代价唤醒一个醉迷民族跟上世界的步伐而成为历史的永久记忆。 40 years ago, with Mao Tse-tung’s “knowledge-based youths going to the rural areas and receiving education from the needy and poor peasants”, the sprawling upsurge of going to work in the countryside immediately swept through the vast land of China. Millions of young people with ideals went to the frontier and rural areas . Although the years have passed away, the educated youth group has become an unforgettable memory of China because of the vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of the Republic which carried it. It has also become a permanent memory of history because of its awakening of a drunken people at a youthful price to keep up with the world.
