The full text of "Young China"
"Ode to Young China" was a speech written by Liang Qichao in 1913 titled "Strong Youth." The original text was as follows: If the youth is strong, then China is strong. The wisdom of youth is the wisdom of China. If young people are rich, China will be rich. If the youth is free, China will be free. The progress of the youth meant the progress of China. The responsibility today is not on others but on my youth. The wisdom of a young man will make the country wise. The wealth of a young man will make the country rich. The freedom of a young man will make the country free. The progress of a young man will make the country progress. The competition between countries was a competition for talents. The competition for talent was a competition for knowledge. Therefore, we should study hard and cultivate ourselves to contribute to the construction of the motherland. Let us shoulder the historical responsibility given to us by the times and work hard to build a better motherland! Thank you, everyone.
