Honorable judges and dear fellow students,
Just as most people here,when I first saw the topic reform and opening-up policies,a voice came out,saying what a grand scale!Then those big events,such as China"s accession to WTO,the launch of Shenzhou and the submersion of Jiaolong flashed through my mind.However,at this moment I stand on the stage as a member of Chinese youth,I"m not gonna draw a magnificent blueprint for you.What I exactly want is to find out the relation between Chinese youth and this era of reform and opening-up.
It is known to all that in the past 40 years,China has captured the opportunity provided by globalization and grown rapidly from nobody to the second-largest economy in the world.In this context,it could be said that we young people have had better resources than ever before.To be more specific,let"s pick up some daily life"s fragments: for example,one Sunday morning,you don"t feel like going outside,so you pull out your smartphone and quickly order a takeout on APP to comfort your empty stomach.In another case ,there"s been a discount on Taobao .After struggling with your equipment and the net speed,you finally got your favorite goods at the best prize,because the most complete supply chain and logistic chain worldwide will solve the remaining work for you,so all you have to do is waiting. Not to mention the increasing number of people going abroad,with a Chinese passport,they are entitled to travel around the world and come back home safely.
But now I wonder how many of you have realized that this convenience,this sense of security does"t come out of air,surely we could regard it as the product of reform and opening-up policies,nevertheless,do you really understand what are behind those achievements?There is a saying, if you live at ease , that is because there are a great many people who are working for you in silence.They might be the politicians and entrepreneurs who climb into the raging flow to explore and promote the system construction of market economy,they might be the intellectuals who devote their lives to prompting the engine of development,and they might be every single person we have access to.
In other words,we youth do not take it for granted,the more resources we possess means the more responsibility we will shoulder.When the 95s were claimed to be the new youth in China and the first millennial stepped into campus,baton of the era has also been approaching.Although China is moving firmly towards its goal of rejuvenation ,deficiencies and problems still exist.So in this sense,we youth ought to grow stronger to sustain the potentiality of development.With the baton in hands,do not afraid to embrace the mercurial society ,do not afraid to change the future.So that as the new youth we could feel more emboldened to say that facing the reform and opening-up policies we are not only the gainers but also the successors!Thank you!

Reform and Opening-up : Dare to embrace the world
Good afternoon everyone, my name is Jack. It’s my great privilege to stand here and share my own perspective about 40 years’ reform and opening-up.
Through the long history of China, reform is easy to witness. Some reforms just shifted the rulers’ name yet had little influence on the society. Others, however, can be revolutionary and our reform and opening-up policy is one of them.
Born in 21st century, it is hard to have the exact feeling about the life before 1978.Luckily, I can grasp some information from my parents and my grandparents.
On a personal note, the most impressive change that has occurred during the 40 years is people’s concept of living, or to be specific, the concept of allocating their salary. For instance, Elder people like my grandparents always cut off their monthly budget and then save the surplus money into the bank account. While young adults are more likely to use the remaining salary to do some investment or with the loan if necessary. I did ask my grandparents why not follow suit, they told me it had risks that they didn’t want to take. Apparently, we stand in this period and all know that such kind of trade and investment is helpful to the economy ascent. Thanks to Mr. Deng’s policy, we can now dare to trade both domestically and internationally.
Beside economy, swift development in other aspects is also prodigious. As you can see, Skyscrapers stand in the city and huts are no more. Cars take the main avenue and bikes step aside. Various travel modes are available for common civilians. Imagine, what kind of condition we may live in if the reform and opening-up policy is absent? Do you want to live in the condition that was similar to forty years ago. Ok, back to the point, when mentioning transportation, you all know what I am going to talk about is our high speed-rail whose both speed and technology top all over the world. Dating back to 40 years ago, it is nearly impossible for people to imagine such changes can literally take place. Due to the reform and opening-up, I can now jump out of the well and embrace the world. Flash as 40 years may be, we indeed witness and experience the happiness that the reform and opening-up has brought us.
Therefore, as a freshman, it is my duty and also our duty to be explicit about our directions and master adequate professional knowledge which will be the basis of our contributions to the community and creating harmonious environment for the next generation. Do not be afraid that your contribution may not be considered as innovative as Deng Xiao Pin did, because it is the little parts that you have done that build up the world we live in today.
In the end, I have to say that reform and opening-up is a great fortune for every Chinese. Owing to the window it opens for us, I can now embrace the world.
That’s all. Thank you.
