The education of life values under the condition of market economy is people's fundamental view on the purpose and significance of life. As a social ideology, it is the reflection and expression of social existence and is determined by certain social and economic conditions. Marxism holds that social existence determines social consciousness. "In short, people's ideas and viewpoints and people's consciousness change with the changes of people's living conditions, social relations and social existence." The goal of China's economic system reform is to establish a socialist market economy. This great change is bound to have a great impact and influence on all aspects of social life. The values of young students in the period of economic system transformation have also changed obviously. It is of great significance to study the value orientation of young students under the condition of socialist market economy and explore how to strengthen the education of young students' life values under the new situation and correctly guide them to grow up in an all-round and healthy way. First, the characteristics and performance of young students' life values. In the process of the establishment and development of socialist market economy, the mainstream value orientation pursued by young students is positive. At the same time, with China's further reform and opening up and the transformation of the planned economy system, young students often make value choices based on the judgment and evaluation of some specific phenomena because of their lack of rational ability to distinguish right from wrong. 1, subject consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, self-awareness is prominent but not extreme, and self-worth is emphasized. Since the reform and opening up, the awakening and strengthening of self-awareness has always been one of the characteristics of young students. For example, the pursuit of life ideals, putting "personal career success and happiness in life" in the first place, talking about the greatest happiness in life, and demanding "a warm home" or "career success" all reflect the pursuit of personal self-worth and the strengthening of self-awareness. However, individual struggle has been abandoned by most students, which is one of the signs of the maturity of young students, and can also be said to be the influence of the further deepening of reform and opening up and the development of socialist market economy. According to the survey, 76.8% of the students believe that in order to realize their self-worth, besides their own efforts, they should also win the help of others and have a clearer understanding of individuals and society. In the survey, we found that among some young students, the strengthening of self-awareness is accompanied by the pursuit of career success and the desire for social contribution. On the premise that individuals contribute to society and create wealth, we should strive to realize self-worth and gain personal respect and satisfaction. 46.2% students judge their personal value by their contribution to society. However, in the survey, we also found that 47.3% of the students agreed and somewhat agreed that "everyone is subjective to himself and objective to others." 5 1% students think that "selfless thoughts are out of date now", which shows that some students are still confined to the circle of "self-design", and often emphasize that the value of life is self-worth, success is a personal celebrity, and happiness of life is a personal happiness, thus breeding the signs of "self-centered" extreme individualism. 2. Pay attention to utility, stress material interests, and pay more and more attention to material interests, which implies the trend of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. With the continuous development of market economy, college students' understanding of various economic components of public ownership in China has been obviously improved, and the concept of market economy has been strengthened day by day, and economic minds and practical interests have become more and more important. For example, practicality is paramount in learning, money is paramount in choosing a job, and politics is economic. According to the survey, 38.6% of students think about "how to get more money" after studying. There are 19.4 students who think that the standard of judging the value of life is "social status", and 13.6% students take "the amount of money" as the standard of life value; 3 1.2% students think that "having money" is the greatest happiness in life. In the minds of a considerable number of students, money is as important as human dignity. 3. Instability and plasticity. Young students are in adolescence, and some physiological and psychological factors are in extremely unstable changes. They are curious, easy to be attracted by outside hot spots, so that their hot spots are free and bring great randomness. At present, China is in the process of transforming from a planned economy to a socialist market economy, and great changes have taken place in politics, economy and culture. This kind of social change will definitely affect the ideas of medical students. Sometimes they think that they must "strive for the lofty ideal of productism, sometimes they are discouraged when they encounter setbacks, sometimes they want to be medical experts, and sometimes they want to be social activists, so their life values are bound to be unstable. At the same time, because young students' outlook on life is still in the process of continuous formation, their outlook on life is bound to have strong plasticity. 4. Diversity and complexity. The diversification of social value orientation will inevitably lead to the diversification of life values of contemporary young students. It is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, a considerable number of college students deny the absolute single standard of life value and value choice, and they admit the example and typical rationality they have been promoting, but they do not regard it as the only criterion and model of life; They think that the life theory in books is correct, but it is difficult to realize in reality; They still demand others with Marxism, but treat themselves with individualism. They object to others' selfishness, but they put personal interests first. Nowadays, among college students, there are not only life values produced by the times, but also traditional national values. Their life values are not single, but diversified. Second, different students have different values of life. Because college students have different family backgrounds, personal growth backgrounds, hobbies and social relations, they have different attitudes towards life. Some college students consider personal interests on the basis of serving the society and others, while others put personal interests first; Others waste time for temporary happiness; Some college students have made great achievements, while others have accomplished nothing. Some students do well in all aspects, while others don't listen to teaching and obey management. Although they have done their work repeatedly, they still "follow their feelings" and think that they can't reflect their "self-existence" without doing so. There are also some students who lack strong will and lofty ideals. When they succeed, they triumph, when they are frustrated, they are discouraged and depressed. Second, the influencing factors of the formation of young students' life values. 1. The establishment and development of the socialist market economic system has a dual role for young students, which is the most fundamental and decisive factor. The law of value is embodied in young students' concepts of equality, rights and obligations, interest competition and so on, which breaks some young students' mentality of being content with the status quo and pursuing the doctrine of the mean, makes young students re-examine their personal values from the starting point of social values and face up to the unity of personal values and social values, thus forming young students' realistic and enterprising values. However, the negative effects of market economy, especially economic interests as the driving force, and both sides of market exchange take their own interests as the starting point, which makes young students feel confused and psychologically unbalanced. In order to adapt to the new situation, they quickly absorbed all kinds of new ideas and viewpoints. This makes young students' life values appear multiple contradictions and swings. 2. The reform of college enrollment distribution system directly affects the value orientation of young students. With the implementation of the Outline of Education Reform and Development in China, the reform of enrollment distribution system is being gradually implemented. From the beginning of enrollment, through the establishment of a fee system, we will change the practice of students going to college and letting the state arrange jobs. At the same time, the corresponding scholarship and bursary system should be established to encourage students to study hard and guide them to participate in the competition in the talent market after graduation. The state no longer guides graduates to choose their own jobs through administrative distribution, but through principles and policies, scholarship system and employment demand information. In this way, a mechanism has been gradually established, in which students pay part of their training expenses when they go to school, and most people choose their own jobs after graduation. The starting point of the reform of enrollment distribution system is to establish a charging system. To put it more popularly and figuratively, it is necessary to divide the "double track"-the national training package into "double selves"-students bear part of the training expenses and choose their own jobs. This reform conforms to the tide of socialist market economy construction and represents the general trend of higher education reform in China. On the one hand, young students are encouraged to pay more attention to themselves, consciously enhance their learning motivation, improve their quality in an all-round way, and meet the choice of society. On the other hand, it also directly affects and impacts the mentality of college students' value orientation. From the point of view of survival, we should pay attention to the actual interests, engage in work-study programs during school study to make up for the necessary expenses, and take economic income as an important reference for choosing a job after graduation. 3. The influence of various theoretical trends of thought. University is a gathering place of culture, where all kinds of cultural ideas from ancient to modern, at home and abroad gather and are shared by college students. With the wave of opening up and communication in the cultural field, a large number of western academic works have been translated and published, and college students living at the forefront of culture eagerly read various classics. All kinds of western thoughts have impacted the university campus, shaken the structure and concept of traditional culture, and had a profound impact on college students' life values. As a result, young students' life values are diversified, and some students are caught in the contradiction of coexistence of old and new ideas. They doubt the existing values, but they are puzzled by the conflict between western theoretical thoughts and China's national conditions and mentality, which leads to the contradiction of value identification. 4. Life values education is not satisfactory. According to the survey, 6 1.8% people think that life values education has many reasons and can solve practical problems, 35.5% people think it is rigid and 57.2% people think it is too simple. 56.8% of the students think that the life values education carried out by the school has "little gain" or "no gain". During the discussion, some students reported that the school's life values education was "divorced from our ideological reality" and "classroom education talked too much", which could not solve students' puzzles and hot issues in a timely, convincing and targeted manner and guide them. 5. The change of young students' own characteristics is the internal factor in the formation of their life values. Nowadays, college students are mostly from home to school, and their horizons are narrow. As a student, with the increase of interpersonal communication and the broadening of social contact, its value orientation is not only influenced by society, but also dominated by society. Because young students are in the growth stage and like to think and think, there is no clear standard for setting values, and it is easy to distinguish between good and bad and not stick to one pattern, which provides the possibility for accepting various values, thus producing pluralistic and contradictory characteristics in value orientation. They respect Lei Feng and affirm his spirit and dedication, but they worship entrepreneurs such as Li Ka-shing and Henry Fok. When there is a contradiction between spiritual value judgment and material value judgment, students do not argue about right and wrong, but take material value as the standard in their actions. Third, correctly guide and strive to improve students' ability to choose life values. Developing socialist market economy is an inevitable historical choice in contemporary China society, which leads to the change of people's life value orientation, especially for medical students, which is a trend. The right or wrong of life value orientation will affect the whole life trajectory. How to educate students to establish a correct outlook on life has become a very important and urgent task of ideological and political work in schools. We believe that the following four aspects should be done well at present.
