19 15, Chen Duxiu, who returned from Japan, founded New Youth magazine in order to appeal to young people with aspirations to actively save the country, and wrote a paragraph full of idealistic enthusiasm: "Youth is like early spring, like sunrise, like the germination of flowers, like a sharp blade, and life is the most precious period. Youth is to society what fresh and lively cells are to the human body. Metabolism, decadent losers will always live in time and space on the road of natural elimination. "

In any era, young people are the living force of social progress. Every era, the mission of youth is different. 100 years later, numbers are reconstructing the real society. This generation of young people also face more challenges, but they also have more opportunities to break the shackles. Today is May 4th Youth Day. In this festival for young people, we focus on a group of young people who are engaged in new careers and realize their value in frontier positions.
They may have a low starting point, but they resolutely resist fate and jump out of the script that has been written; Perhaps in the face of the pressure of secular prejudice, but resolutely, bravely choose, loyal to the heart. They are "uncertain" young people in everyone's eyes. They wander in the ocean of the Internet, break the tradition, dare to innovate, and redefine their destiny on a road that few people take.
Unacceptable Destiny: The Adventure of a "Crazy Knight" from Factory Worker to Programmer
In the novel Don Quixote, Wen Xuegui saw his own shadow-"I may not be able to do what I am doing now, but I still have to try". From a factory worker in an assembly line in Shenzhen to a programmer in a software company in Tunda, Guangzhou, I'm afraid you can't complete this transformation without the idealism and perseverance of a "crazy knight".
When working in the factory, a group of robots introduced by the factory made Wen Xuegui vaguely feel the crisis. The sense of unease also comes from the foreseeable long emptiness in future life-"Today's days have passed the rest of my life". A crazy idea suddenly appeared in front of literary experts: self-learning programming.
Literature as a programmer is expensive.
Previously, Wen Xuegui didn't go to college, but chose to go to a technical secondary school after graduating from junior high school-that's the fastest way to help his family share the economic burden. As the eldest son of the family, Xuegui has four siblings. He must be sensible. From self-taught programming to "programmers going ashore", it is a protracted war for him.
Going back to the dormitory after work every day is his precious two hours of study time. But in the boys' dormitory, the video sound is mixed with various games and chats. Besides, I feel tired when I come back from work every day.
For young people in small towns with low academic qualifications like Xuegui, the biggest obstacle to "breakthrough" comes from lack of self-confidence. When he began to try to learn programming, people around him always commented, "This thing is too difficult." "Can you really teach yourself?" .
However, Wen Xuegui often thinks of a joke told by the class teacher in middle school: "The poor performance in the senior high school entrance examination may be due to the month of birth." This sentence is purely "metaphysics" today, but it makes him find a kind of strength when he is frustrated, not because his intelligence is not up to standard, not because of his lack of learning ability, but perhaps it is just an inexplicable "unlucky".
When Wen Xuegui began to adjust his self-study efficiency and strictly implement his learning goals, he found that "programming is not as difficult as expected".
People around you will always say, "This thing is too difficult." "Can you really teach yourself?" /tuchong creativity
After several months of online classes, Wen Xuegui began to concentrate on finding a job and submitting his resume. After looking for a job for more than three months, I received an interview: the front-end development of WeChat applet. Then he became a small program engineer. In fact, it's not just expensive to learn. According to the report of ICT Institute, in 2020, small programs will drive 7.8 million jobs and become the core engine of WeChat to drive employment.
After entering Guangzhou Tunda Software Company, from building all kinds of small program malls for enterprises to designing entertaining "digital blind boxes", Xue Gui saw the direct impact of programming on the surrounding life when the small programs developed by himself and his team were put on the market.
Now, Wen Xuegui works harder than others.
"On the assembly line, you can't twist the screws, but in the digital world of code, you seem to be able to change the world. Literature is expensive and proud. Although he only participated in the development of many small programs, he saw his value when he thought that the small programs at hand would cover tens of millions of people.
In the office building of an international trade center in Guangzhou, Wen Xuegui took a break and looked out the window at the foggy city after the heavy rain. On the 22nd floor, he has left the surface stuck to him. In the future, he expects to go higher.
Love Challenge: She can rely on her face value, but she uses algorithms to "change the world".
Can women also become top programmers? Liu Enyu, 27, is using personal experience to prove: Of course. Liu Enyu is an algorithm researcher in multimedia lab. At present, the main research direction is image and video processing. Through the combination of traditional formula modeling and artificial intelligence algorithm, he completed the work including image generation, video restoration and video enhancement.
At the age of 27, she not only participated in and led many multimedia-related projects, but also submitted 20+ patents and published 7 academic journals and international conference papers.
She remembers that when she was a child, a documentary about China engineers working hard in Silicon Valley was broadcast on TV. The image of a programmer on TV makes her yearn for it-professional, capable, knowledgeable and, most importantly, able to change the world!
A seed of dreams, planted from now on.
For example, "I want to live a challenging life".
Since junior high school, Liu Enyu has enjoyed the deduction process of science; The first choice of the college entrance examination is to fill in the electronic information major, although the concept of AI was not popular at that time. She was successfully admitted to Wuhan University. In her sophomore year, she began to follow her tutor in the research project of image and video image defogging.
She is more serious. "When doing model design, or doing experiments for two months, I found that the effect did not meet expectations; It may also be that I finished the experiment and achieved the expectation, but after comparing with the algorithm on the market, I found that my algorithm is not as good as others ... "Start over, improve, and then improve; Fight against bugs, race against competitors and yourself, and race against time.
Eun Woo recalled that at that time, she worked continuously for a month and basically lived in the company. "I thought of work when I opened my eyes, and worked overtime on Saturday and Sunday to read documents and papers." .
When women study science and enter the AI industry, it will lead to doubts or "persuasion" brought by some stereotypes. On many occasions, Eun Woo was also questioned because of the labels of "young" and "beautiful".
Liu Enyu never cared about these voices. "I want to live a challenging life." In many ways, the Internet has promoted true openness and the right to peace, as well as diversified opportunities and choices.
She said, "In my job, people don't look at what you look like, just look at whether your code is good or not."
In Liu Enyu's world, there are no insurmountable difficulties.
Not long ago in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Eun Woo participated in an image optimization project to restore old photos. When the broken and blurred photo becomes brand-new and clear-the veteran in the photo suddenly comes to life. The veteran in the photo has passed away. When Liu Enyu handed the photo to the old soldier's son and saw his complicated feelings of excitement and forbearance, at this moment, she understood her own value and strengthened the direction of future efforts. As a programmer, in the process of changing the world and promoting science and technology with code, Liu Enyu felt a call of mission, a satisfaction and determination to realize self-worth.
New task: to be a resident cadre and an "anchor" in the mountains.
Tang Qiang is a resident cadre in rural Guangxi. His other identity is the "anchor" in the mountains. By operating the video number, he recorded touching experiences and interesting moments in the process of helping farmers. While winning the trust of the villagers, he has also received the attention and recognition of many white-collar workers in cities outside the mountain.
Before entering the village, Tang Qiang practiced the topic "How to get out of the village" almost all his life.
Thirty years ago, Tang Qiang was born in a small mountain village in Yulin, Guangxi. At that time, farmers' parents had only one belief in their hearts: they must send their children out of the mountains and get ahead. Tang Qiang remembers that when he was a child, he had to walk for miles in the last school. At the beginning of school, he had to carry rice to school.
There is no commuting time in Tang Qiang, so you can leave at any time.
In 2009, Tang Qiang lived up to expectations and was admitted to Guangxi University. Life has been smooth since then. After graduation, he entered Gongqiao Hydropower Station under Guangxi Investment Group through school recruitment.
In 2020, Guangxi Investment Group openly recruited a new batch of cadres in villages, and Tang Qiang signed up as a "ghost" and came to Nongkun Village in Dashan, Guangxi.
Tang Qiang, who grew up on the land, has a sense of closeness to the land. Others desperately walked out of the countryside, but he stubbornly came back. In the face of others' incomprehension, he enjoys it and "helps the villagers make a little progress every day". He feels extremely fulfilled.
One night in 2020, before going to bed, Tang Qiang brushed a video of "From above 3,200 meters above sea level", and the scenery was beautiful. This video comes from a poverty alleviation cadre in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
Tang Qiang was deeply inspired and felt some observations and feelings in the process of helping the farmers in this village. He decided to join hands and spread the poverty alleviation to more distant cities by video recording.
It took Tang Qiang less than a month to learn the whole video production process from shooting small white clips to staying up late surfing the Internet. Help villagers apply for subsidies, deal with infrastructure damage caused by rolling stones, and go door to door. Although he is usually very busy, Tang Qiang always takes time to spend on video planning, shooting, dubbing, copywriting and editing.
Tang Qiang is going to sell things in the village with a short video.
Last June, Tang Qiang was invited to launch the video number "Great Effort". In less than a year, he released more than 100 short videos to record the dribs and drabs in the process of helping rural farmers.
Although the soil is barren, with the help of the resident cadres, the village has produced special agricultural products such as mountain wine and lotus root vermicelli according to local conditions. In the future, Tang Qiang will promote these local characteristics through e-commerce live broadcast and continue to promote rural revitalization.
With the development of Internet short videos, Tang Qiang has found his unique pleasure as a village cadre and will help rural areas achieve economic development.
In Tang Qiang's view, the video number is like a connector, which not only connects rural areas and cities, but also forms a closed loop of functions and business through scenes such as circle of friends, small programs and group chats, which is not only conducive to winning more recognition for resident work, but also conducive to achieving the next goal-e-commerce poverty alleviation and the combination of production and marketing.
Be yourself: 18 years old was changed by e-sports
On the eve of the college entrance examination, 18-year-old Xia suddenly came to the crossroads of life. Senior year, Xia came into contact with the glory of the king. It only took four days, and his account number rose to 2 1. Soon after, he rushed to the first place in regional qualifying. Then came the professional invitation of Shanghai Mu Club.
Are e-sports players "Internet addiction teenagers"? /tuchong creativity
There are two roads in front of him. One is to enter the university through the college entrance examination like all peers. The other way is to become a professional e-sports player. The former is the road that many people have traveled, which is safe; The latter is "doing nothing" in everyone's eyes, and the future of Internet addiction teenagers is uncertain. The summer after the college entrance examination, Xia took 3000 yuan and went to Shanghai by train without telling her parents. At that time, e-sports in the glory of the king had just started, and Xia and his team lost one game after another because they didn't receive scientific training.
Xia is in hot pursuit, surrounded by hesitation, confusion and frustration. He has been thinking about whether he is escaping from life or really regards e-sports as a dream. He decided to report to the university first. Summer's college life only lasted two days.
After coming to the university campus and having a rough visit to the student dormitory and classroom, he returned to the esports hug with the luggage that he had not had time to open. After years of thinking, Xia is glad of his choice. Talent, hard work and courage have not failed him.
20 16, Xia, who just joined Chongqing Happy Club, completed the "first kill" in his career with this role. In the spring regular season from 2065438 to May 2007, Xia's team was reversed by 1 5.
In 20 17, the newly formed QG Happy Team was a blockbuster, winning the triple crown of Spring Festival couplets, Champions League and Autumn League in 20 17, becoming the first annual Grand Slam team of KPL. On March 2, 20201,Xia once again reached the peak of his career. In the KPL Spring Tournament, he used the hero Sun Shangxiang to successfully unlock KPL 1500 killing achievement and became the first "1500 killing gentleman" in KPL.
He won and lost. However, after really integrating into e-sports, Xia understands the ups and downs better than anyone else. But because of e-sports, he also learned to face everything with a more positive attitude, because e-sports is like life. "If I wasn't playing e-sports, I might be at work now, doing business with my father, or opening a shop as a commissary minister." Speaking of which, Xia Dui showed a smiling expression. "It's not that going to work is not good."
Only in that case, there will be no "sharpshooter hurting people" (Xia's best position in the glory of the king is shooter).
Keeping the Bottom Line: Police Zhu Xiao's Anti-fraud Road
Zhu Qiliang is an anti-fraud policeman of Shenzhen Public Criminal Police Detachment. In Zhu Qiliang's words, this job is "changing every day and changing every month". Because the forms of information network crimes are flexible and changeable, the means of investigation must also be changed. This job of "Cats Catch Mice" on the Internet gives him a sense of urgency to keep learning.
To do this job, you need to study online every day.
For Zhu Qiliang, a public security major, it is a great test to master the skills needed for anti-fraud investigation. When he was first transferred to the anti-fraud center, Zhu Qiliang was "very ignorant and unclear about how online fraud works". Once encountered a stock market fraud platform, Zhu Qiliang and his colleagues disguised as investors to negotiate with each other to understand the situation, and spent a lot of time investigating in the early stage. Finally, it took a lot of effort to find out all the network agents layer by layer. Zhu Qiliang is careful, loves learning and thinking. These qualities helped him complete the transformation from public security work to anti-fraud work.
Compared with traditional crimes, combating cyber crimes requires more patience and care. /movie "burning heart in the hot sun"
Every day, Zhu Qiliang and his colleagues receive many warnings. The first thing is to trace the funds that the victim was cheated, find the flow direction, intercept the funds in time, and then further investigate the key clues involved. Sometimes I have to fight against hunting. In addition to hunting, Zhu Qiliang's daily work also includes early warning and dissuasion. Early warning and dissuasion technology originated from the cooperation between public security departments and Internet technology platforms. Once Zhu Qiliang and his colleagues find that some citizens are targeted by fraud gangs, they will go to the door to discourage them at the first time. Although he has been engaged in anti-fraud work for 8 years, Zhu Qiliang will still lament the cunning of criminals from time to time. Fortunately, the magic height is one foot high, and the continuous progress of information technology always allows them to curb crime in time.
The case was solved, which was the happiest moment for officer Zhu. /tuchong creativity
For example, in the past, fraudsters often used fraudulent means of "pseudo base stations". The so-called "pseudo base station" is to use other devices to shield normal communication signals and pretend to be bank customer service personnel to send phishing link messages to the owner. Later, the police cooperated with Tencent to develop a tool to counter "pseudo base stations".
Zhu Qiliang said that after a few months, there were almost no "pseudo base stations" in Shenzhen. The combination of traditional criminal investigation and digital technology has greatly facilitated more anti-fraud policemen like Zhu Qiliang. Zhu Qiliang also got a full sense of accomplishment in his work. He remembers countless thrilling moments of "intercepting" crimes.
On one occasion, Zhu Qiliang and his colleagues struggled to find a citizen who was about to transfer money to a fraud gang. After many visits, it was finally successfully dissuaded at the last minute, and the huge sum was safely intercepted. Zhu Qiliang is really proud to see that the client's funds are safe and sound. Nowadays, the situation of telecommunication network fraud is still grim, and the workload of anti-fraud police is increasing, so it is difficult for Zhu Qiliang to spend enough time with his family. But after every hesitation, I will be pulled back by my work.
In Zhu Qiliang's view, anti-fraud work is actually a work of "accumulating virtue".
Officer Zhu's daily rest.
postscript
What shape should youth be? It should not be defined.
In the past, we always felt that "poor students" had no future, and "internet addiction teenagers" had nothing to do; We think that girls can't read science well, and we question that female programmers can't suffer; We believe that the so-called traditional work should be done step by step ... We want to thank these "undefined" young people who pursue their dreams wantonly. They have spent their youth and created new possibilities.
These young people are not only a small number of glamorous people in life, but also the epitome of countless new young people pursuing their dreams and bravely trying the unknown world. Nowadays, with the rapid development of Internet digital economy, more and more unfamiliar occupations and positions have emerged. Under the wave of digital employment on the Internet, these prejudices have been broken one by one.
It can be said that the new format spawned by the Internet has, to a great extent, given young people the courage and opportunity to transcend their origins, stimulated their new potential and led a new life of their own choice. According to the 2020 Digital Employment Research Report, the number of new jobs derived from WeChat alone reached 36.84 million in the past year. In these new occupations, young people see new possibilities, have new skills and discover new potential, and become real "undefined youth".
There is no need to be trapped in geography, education, capital ... Don't say that you are inexperienced and have a low education, and don't tear up the inherent label of the first line. No one can define your life. If you want to shine, you have to fight for it. This is an admirable life.
