你不是艾伦·金斯堡,所以你不是那属于美国的垮掉的一代;我们是70年代末80年代初的孩子,是被称为中国垮掉的一代,也是矛盾的一代,可以嬉皮,可以朋克,可以......在传统和开放中游移...
最近我写的垮掉的一代,发上来:
Are we the beat generation?
Most criticizers think that we university student are terminally ill. Are we the real beat generation? Our fragmentary education system beats us, as well as the social environment. We are forced to chase what we need and lost in the material world. We are the lost generation, if we have no model to follow. Never a parent told us to criticize Chinese education system. Parents never taught us to learn from Japanese or American, nor did they tell us that internet could bring a great benefit to our lives; instead, they prevented us to use computers.
See the rich man make money in previous business opportunities. See the crowds seeking employment in the big city. See the farmers went to take training course. Compare, which is the real beat generation. "The world is yours," Mao told a group of Chinese students in 1957. "You young people, full of vigor and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you." Mao soon abused those hopes, dooming an entire generation to the destructiveness of the Cultural Revolution.
Cultural Revolution has become a pass. The new generation is facing with a new type of revolution—the revolt of the market, which has brought wealth, corruption, opportunity and confusion in equal measure to the world's most populous nation.
Where is our road map to the future?
What we needs is wiping off the confusion with instructions, not being pasted label. What is the most valuable thing in society? Love is. The American young people growing after World War II are also called the beat generation. Under the American material principle sky, they was in despair to the society, thus abandons oneself to Bohemianism. Being given more care than criticizers, that is what we need. Depression environment won’t make progress.
Chinese traditional culture is facing a great crisis as well. Take entertainment for example, most of the teenagers dislike opera or traditional music; instead, they would always enjoy Hong Kong fast food music and movies. China’s world belongs to this young generation in the nearest future. How to get Chinese culture to be developed becomes an important issue of many organizations.
The marriage is also a problem. The high value they place on freedom makes the young generation regard marriage as a shackle to some extent. And, China has seen a soaring divorce rate in recent years. Young people brought up in only-child families tend to be more self-centered, with less concern for others and with poor ability to take care of themselves and others, which contradicts to the traditional family mode based on mutual respect and care.
I see most social problems at hand, but I still believe that, we 1980s are not the real beat generation, nor the 1990s. We will lead a wonderful life in the international environment.
