Even if there were years, there were eight famines. The future is like the sea, and there is plenty of time. Yes, I'm a young China native, and I'm not old! Zhuang Zi, China teenager, borderless!

Translation:

Vertically, it has a long history; horizontally, it has a vast territory. The future is vast and the days ahead are infinitely long. Beautiful, my young China people, will always be with heaven and earth! Great, my China boy, will live with the motherland forever!

On young chinese is one of Liang Qichao's representative works, and it was also a famous article published in Tsing Yi Daily at that time. This article has a great influence. This is a long political paper. From the standpoint of bourgeois reformists, the author made a sharp contrast between China, an ancient feudal country, and the young people in China in his mind. He strongly praised the young people's spirit of being brave in reform, encouraged people to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building China's youth, and expressed their desire and enterprising spirit to make the motherland rich and strong. It is recognized as the most positive and emotional chapter in Liang Qichao's works, and the author himself regards it as his masterpiece of "opening up a new style and inspiring the people"
