Maoism meets Obamaism

A student's essay on the role of young people in today's world:

I think young people today play an important role in society. Mao Zedong once said: "Young people are the sun of eight or nine o'clock in the morning." Young people are important for our country's development and strength. The world belongs to the young people, even though young people know little, are small, and don't have much experience.

After last year's Wen Chun earthquake, young people tried their best to help the people and use their own ways to tell the world "yes, you can." Not only in China, but in other countries. Young people play a role that can't be ignored.

I always believe that young people are the new leaders of the world. Anyway, fact or theory, the young people play an important role in today's society.
