“It urges us to optimize the development structure for local businesses and strive to make innovations in development mod-els. In addition, efforts should be made to enhance the coopera-tion between overseas scholars and private enterprises, apply advanced technology to tradi-tional industries, and fit innovative entrepreneurship programs into financial mechanism in practice. ”

Together with Western Re-turned Scholars Association, ACYF has decided to hold the Business Week for Returned Scholars annually from the year of 2001.

On March 23, the Of fice of the National

Mother River Protection Project (MRPP) agreed to

join efforts with the Yili Resource Group, Beijing

Yongte Investment Co Ltd. and Shenhua Welfare

Foundation in Beijing.

ACYF first launched the MRPP in 1999. The

project focused on protecting the biological en-

vironment along rivers and encouraging young-

sters to participate in af forestation programs.

For the past 13 years, it had engaged 510 mil-

lion youngsters and adult citizens in the project,

thus became an influencial public project around

the globe and an important vehicle to increase

awareness of environmental protection among the

youths.

This year, the MRPP has shif ted its focus to

the Yellow River by organizing adolescents in

nearby areas to build forests. ACYF will mainly

support the counties (cities and banners) through

which the Yellow River flows in building exemplary

forests. So far, it has initiated cooperation with six

corporations and raised more than 7 million yuan

for the 2012 MRPP.

Enrich Cultural Life of the Young Migrant Workers

“We have very limited choice

in our entertainment activities ex-

cept for playing cards or chatting,

for we neither have enough time

nor money,” a 31-year-old com-

munity security Zhang Hongjie

said with sadness, “we all hope

to change our destiny through

study, but are unable to escape

from the unbreakable chains of

life.” Zhang Hongjie, like most of

his workmates, simply wishes for

more places and opportunities to

watch movies and do sports in his

spare time.

Attending school at a young

age, then going to cities to make

a living right after their graduation,

the generations af ter 80s and

90s, compared with their previ-

ous generations, are less familiar

with farm work while more eager

to enter into urban society. As

the new generations of migrant

workers, they account for 60%

of China’s total population of mi-

grant workers. Working in cities

far away from their hometowns,

parents, and relatives while mak-

ing great contribution to urban

development, they have to deal

with difficulties such as high labor

intensity, and boring spare time.

Therefore, they yearn for more

humanistic concern, emotional

communication, recreational ac-

tivities to be more integrated into

urban lives. How to improve the

quality of their spiritual and cul-

tural life has drawn great atten-

tion from the Communist Youth

League, NPC deputies and CPPCC

members.

Communist Youth League Held Face-to-Face Dialogue to Communicate with NPC Deputies and CPPCC Members

On Februar y 27 th, with

the theme: Enriching the Spir-

itual and Cultural Life of Young

Migrant Workers, Communist

Youth League conducted Face-

to-Face Dialogue with NPC

Deputies and CPPCC Members

in Beijing.

During the dialogue, NPC

deputies and CPPCC members

carried out a heated discus-

sion on enriching spiritual and

cultural life of young migrant

workers. Participants all agreed

it was of great significance to

care for those workers’ spir-

itual well-beings, for they were

an important group in China’s

industrial workers. To perfect

relevant polices and mearues,

proposals aimed at improving

workers’ spiriral life should be

brought up to NPC and CPPCC

sessions. This dialogue, accord-

ing to participants, has assisted

NPC and CPPCC sessions to

demonstrate social interests,

and facilitated the Communist

Youth league to protect rights

and serve people as it pro-

vided alternatives for deputies

to fulfill their obligations. It was

suggested that such activit y

should be regularly held in the

future.

The dialogue has been held

f or f our successive years in

Youth Leagues Committees of

dif ferent provinces, cities and

more than 70% of counties in

China. Over the last four years,

the Communist Youth League

has raised 410 proposals about

youth af fairs in both China’s

national and provincial two ses-

sions, which helped to address

issues related to the youth rights

and bet ter the youth growth

environment.

“Every time I met them,

I would put myself into their

shoes to see what they have

been through. I always think if I

am now working in Beijing far

away from my hometown, what

do I want the most?” said Liu

Hongyu, a CPPCC member and

executive member of All-China

Female Lawyers Association.

According to Liu, marginali-

zation of young migrant workers

is increasing. On the one hand,

those workers become strange

to rural lives while cannot find

their places in urban lives. On

the other hand, they desire to

be accepted by the mainstream

society to feel the sense of be-

longing.

Liu suggested, from the as-

pect of government, we should

make preferential policies for

young migrant workers to pro-

mote their access to public re-

sources. For example, we can

have cultural centers like librar-

ies, cinemas, and museums pro-

vide special open days for them.

From the aspect of society, we

Urgent Need to Soften Marginalization of Migrant Workers

can hold more instructive and

where those workers play the

major role, thus enabling them

to help others and gain happi-

ness from their contribution to

society. Meanwhile, such ac-

tivities can broaden their inter-

personal networking for better

relationships with others.

Migrant-Worker Artist Hard to Win Financial Support

Creating a troupe named

New Workers with his fellow

workers in 2002, Wang Dezhi,

a migrant worker, can be now

called an artist. With an aim to

serve migrant workers in Beijing,

his troupe has by far given more

than 500 performances, enter-

taining over 200 thousand audi-

ences. All activities, from drama

acting to art festival, are open

to migrant workers. However,

groups benefiting spiritual life like

Wang’s troupe face a series of

difficulties. How can the troupe

expand its influence to more

workers? What should the troupe

do if all its financial suppor t

which is provided by enterprises

and foundations are withdrawn?

Practical problems as mentioned

above are really headache for

young migrant workers repre-

sented by Wang Dezhi who

is trying to improve himself to

serve more fellow workers.

Wang Hongkun, an NPC

deputy and President of Beijing

Huawei Furniture Manufactur-

ing Co. Ltd. suggested that the

enhancement of spiritual life was

not limited to singing songs or

watching movies but meant the

respect gained during work under

the effort of workers themselves

and the input of enterprises. He

advised that government and so-

cial institutions set up some en-

terprises as excellent models and

popularize the practices.

Although the living standard

of migrant workers has been

raised in recent years, their spir-

itual life still needs to be further

elevated by us, said Hu Weiwu,

an NPC deputy and researcher

of Institute of Computing Tech-

nology of Chinese Academy of

Sciences.

Huang Yuanhe, a CPPCC member and pro-

fessor of Beijing Formal University, expressed

his gratitude and respect to migrant workers. To

elevate those workers’ spiritual and cultural life,

as he emphasized, they should not be confined

to their own circle, but needed more chances to

communicate with local citizens. Psychologically

speaking, a group can relief from their working

stress and improve work ef ficiency when they

fulfill their lives. People tend to be more enthusi-

astic during their work as they know they have a

promising future.

Being a entrepreneur growing from a farmer,

Yu Xuewen, an NPC deputy and President of Bei-

jing Gengxiang Tea Co. Ltd, suggested that all the

migrant workers should fully devote themselves

into the construction of urban area, upgrading

their values and ideas in their work without mak-

ing blind comparison between themselves and the

other citizens.

Migrant Workers Calls for Equality and Respect Keep an Active Attitude

Zhu Jun, a CPPCC member, held his insight

opinion towards the concerns on spiritual life of

migrant workers. Zhu said, overwhelming con-

sideration towards this group of people actually

manifested inequality. Real concern towards oth-

ers requires us to take them as equal individu-

als with sincere respect. “We cannot ask every

farmer to become ‘Zhu Zhiwen. (a farmer who

later becomes a well-known singer in China after

attending a talent show.) I hope that every work-

er can be treated equally no matter what they

do,” said Zhu Jun, who also suggested that gov-

ernment and enterprises care workers properly to

inspire greater creativity from this group.

Zhu’s words is echoed by a migrant worker

in Beijing. As a craftman in construction site, he

makes a salary of 5000 to 6000 yuan per month,

but dares not to take underground or bus after

work, for he is afraid others would loathe the un-

tidy and dirty sight of him. Such example shows

that a migrant workers can only be mentally

strong and rich when they win real respect from

others.

Guo Wei, an NPC deputy and Board Chairman

of Digital China Co. Ltd., advised, more evening

schools or institutes should be opened to enrich

the spiritual and cultural life of young migrant

workers. Moreover, we could think how to apply

internet skills to continuing education to make it

more practical to help migrant workers.

He Ping, a Girl like Sunflower

He Ping is a junior student in the Depart-ment of Foreign Languages in Hunan University of Science and Technology. Besides attending classes, she tutors five people and works in a restaurant in her spare time. In order to earn more, she also hunts for part-time jobs; once, she took seven jobs at the same time. Al-though she always has to exert herself to the most to manage both school and work, she keeps a positive attitude. She enjoys singing and doing sports, and she loves to smile. As she has told us, her favorite flower is sunflow-er, because it always faces the sun and leaves the shadow behind.

Life is tough for He’s family. Her mother has been diagnosed with meningitis sequelae; then, she is reduced to an intermittent psychiatric pa-tient. He’s father loses the ability to work after a car accident. As for her 8-year-old brother, he is suffering from congenital heart disease.

She was born in Liuyang. During her child-hood, she lived near to a firework factory.Af-ter school, she had to work for small factories in order to pay the tuition fees.

Since her parents cannot look after He Jun, her younger brother, He Ping takes him with her to school so that she can take care of him after class. He Jun tells us, “My sister is like my father, not only because they look like each other, but also for that she has raised me in his way.”

Ping says that it is easy for her to be sat-isfied. In her recent diary, she writes that Jun finishes all the milk and rice today, he also does a good job on his homework; the doctor nicely informs her that her father’s health condition is getting better; and her mother is quite obedient to physician’s orders. “How happy I am!”

Beside singing, she is also talented at giv-ing speeches and presiding over students’ activities. Although she comes from rural

area, where the learning resources of foreign languages lack, she speaks fluent English by practising and working hard. To learn good English, she has made friends with a lot of foreign students. In her first year of college, she championed both the English speech con-test and the Chinese one, which has made her a popular figure on campus.

Her on-line diary reads “My heart is filled with gratitude, with people around me so helpful as families. I believe in the society, in kindness, and in love. I believe that things would get better if I stick to kindness and vir-tue, if I cherish fortunes and fate.”

She has done something that makes her feel “guilty”. In 2008, she read on the news-paper that a boy was forced to drop out of school, in order to find a job and pay the med-ical expense for his mother. The story reminded He of herself and she wanted to help. Given that he father was still in hospital and needed money, she thought that if there were many people who offered to help the boy, she would keep her money to her own use. Unfortunately, she found out quickly that only a few people donated money for the boy. She finally made up her mind and delivered 1,500 yuan, half of her total amount of money, to the boy’s fam-ily. However, she felt guilty for what she had done. She observed that it was not good that she gave the money that others donated for her to someone else.

On her on-line diaries, she listed the name of people who had helped her and how much they had dona t ed. A c c o r d -ing to her, i t was a good way to inform the dona-

青联通讯内文-2012-1#.indd 14 2012.7.27 9:48:37 AM

Contemporary Youth

tors that she had received the money; it was also convenient for them to check with the numbers of money they had sent. “I hope that my cousin could remember the names of peo-ple who have nicely helped us. However, he should know that we cannot live on donations.”

When we ask her f or her goals, she says that her short-term goal is to get into a graduate school. There are two reasons.

First, she is eager to learn; second, she would have more time to take care of her brother. It would be better if the graduate program is publicly funded. In a long term, she wanted to establish a training institution for foreigners to learn Chinese. With the money she earn, she would help children in poverty.

Her smile is like a sunflower in bloom, bath-ing the sunshine and embracing the breeze.

On the afternoon of January 15, the Winter 2012 Volunteer Program was held in the Caring Villa, Chongqing. Left-behind children and orphaned children celebrated the Spring Festival togher with children from urban areas.

On March 10, the launching ceremony of “A Million Trees”, a tree-planting activity for the youth, was held in Jinan, Shan-dong. With the theme of “Spring Starts from Here”, the activity was aimed at engaging more youngsters in ecological con-struction of the Yangtze-kiang.

On March 16, the experts of Shiyan Adolescent Counciling Center visited the Dong Chuan Road Primary School. Mainly surrounding the topic of gain-ing confidence through reading, experts held a heated discussion with over 80 pupils, along with their parents.

On March 23, the opening ceremony of the 7th Challenge Cup Business Plan Competition for Students in Sichuan was held in Xihua University.

On March 25, the launching ceremony of “Build-ing Courtesy in Community” was held in Dongy-uan Community. Volunteers put on a play, conducted knowledge competition, and released informing materials in order to promote rules of behavior in accordance with courtesy.
