The investigation "Who is the Most Brilliant Generation" planned by the editorial department of "Sea Literature Forum" involves the graduates of the initial high school class of 1966, also known as the "old three classes", the "little three classes" of the 1970s (referring generally to middle school graduates from 1970 to 1977), and today's "six-eight style" (born in the 1960s, graduated from university in the 1980s). The age spans 25 years. Due to their vastly different eras and environments, they have become three actual generations. There are also a few respondents who are slightly older than the old three classes or younger than the six-eight style.
Old Three Classes: A Repeatedly Flipped "Two-sided Yellow" 43.3% of the surveyed believe that the Old Three Classes are the most brilliant, 36.7% think the Six-Eight Style is the most brilliant, 13.3% selected the Little Three Classes, while another 6.7% believe that the three cannot be compared and remain silent.
Interestingly, among those who believe that the Old Three Classes are the most brilliant, only 30.77% belong to the Old Three Classes themselves, while the Little Three Classes and the Six-Eight Style each account for 23.07%! This clearly shows the general recognition of the Old Three Classes across different age groups. In the section about "the reasons for brilliance," 100% of people believe that the brilliance of the Old Three Classes stems from "experiencing hardships." Modern Chinese people seem to fully understand the psychological resilience of the Old Three Classes in accepting suffering.
Mr. Shen Jialu, a Shanghai writer (41 years old), wrote at length on the blank space of the survey questionnaire: The times provided opportunities for the Old Three Classes to showcase their talents and assigned them historical responsibilities. Reform and opening up pushed them onto the social stage. Of course, the main reason is that representative figures among them were good at adapting to circumstances, combining the cultural accumulation gained from traditional education with life experiences into a kind of spiritual wealth and life knowledge, including political strategies, economic operation methods, and human relations.
Although their youth has long passed, the fighting spirit and strength of the Old Three Classes still astonish people, with such vitality making young people feel ashamed. They know their own strengths and weaknesses, value the process of struggle, and are not afraid of failure.
Among those who believe that the Little Three Classes or the Six-Eight Style are the most brilliant, 79.33% think that the reason the Old Three Classes are not brilliant is because "the Cultural Revolution wasted the youth of the Old Three Classes." 20% believe it is due to "the constraints of traditional concepts!" The Cultural Revolution became the "Waterloo" of the Old Three Classes, and people almost unanimously agree on this.
Objectively speaking, the Old Three Classes, who grew up in the belief that "struggling with others is infinitely joyful," indeed had unfortunate destinies.
A famous newspaper in the south once had an excellent commentary on this: Their childhood coincided with the three-year difficulty period; their adolescence was spent going to the countryside; their youth was during the era of the most severe sexual repression; when they had children, they could only have one; when they divorced helplessly, society was full of "Chen Shimei," and divorce still required an administrative introduction letter from the unit, which was generally not given; when they finally reached the point where they should get housing, housing reform began, and they had to spend money; when they should have been promoted, officials became younger, and last year Beijing bypassed a large number of middle-aged section chiefs and promoted a group of bureau-level cadres under 30 years old; when their children needed to go to school, schools started charging fees; when they applied for titles, they had to take foreign language exams, and it was explicitly stated that "those over 50 do not need to take the exam," but the Old Three Classes, whose studies were interrupted for ten years, had to take the exam with the young people; when their work seniority reached 30 years, enterprises began to go bankrupt and lay off employees... Someone joked: The Old Three Classes, like pancakes being flipped, ended up "two-sided yellow."
Little Three Classes: Crying Alone in the Gap Compared to the Old Three Classes, whose social roles have been widely recognized by the public, the Little Three Classes received poor reviews in this survey. Among the more than 10% who believed the Little Three Classes were the "most brilliant," 75% belonged to the Old Three Classes, while only 25% were from the Little Three Classes themselves, and none were from the Six-Eight Style! This reflects not only the generosity of the Old Three Classes but also the lack of confidence of the Little Three Classes and the disdain of the Six-Eight Styles.
Famous program host Yuan Ming (25 years old) from Oriental Television annotated on the blank space of the survey form: (Little Three Classes) caught between two generations, with a gap in concepts, more avant-garde than tradition, more conservative than vanguard, awkward, unbalanced.
Writer Shen Jialu believes that society left fewer opportunities and gaps for the Little Three Classes, and compared to the Old Three Classes, this generation lacked perseverance, courage, and life experience.
Zhou Zhufeng (25 years old), an assistant editor of the journal of the Second Medical University of Shanghai, was even more straightforward. She believed that the Little Three Classes were just a transitional era, learning very little, blindly following trends, and lacking any characteristics.
What made the Little Three Classes feel most "ashamed" was that among those who believed the Old Three Classes or the Six-Eight Style were the most brilliant, 71% thought that the Little Three Classes were not brilliant because they "did not receive complete elementary and secondary education"; only 29% felt that this was because "society overly relied on the Old Three Classes."
Zhou Jianguo (48 years old), working at the Shanghai Office of Yunnan No. 3 Mine, can be said to be a representative of the minority who believe the Little Three Classes are the most brilliant. As a member of the Old Three Classes, Zhou Jianguo believed that although the Old Three Classes mostly had brilliant ideals, in the process of various ideological exchanges, inherent confusion ultimately prevented them from being satisfied with old ideas or accepting new ones. Therefore, they always flew too low, too short, and too briefly. In the eyes of contemporary people, the Old Three Classes were just a pitiable ox that worked hard but gained little. The Six-Eight Style was a dragon waiting to ascend to the sky, but it was too young and lacked social tempering. Only the vigorous Little Three Classes retained the youthful vigor and the maturity of adults.
The survey of the Little Three Classes conveyed such a message: the only advantage of the Little Three Classes seemed to be their age and the "maturity of adults" that matched it. This advantage was extremely fragile.
Six-Eight Style: The Result-Oriented Generation Among those who chose the Old Three Classes or the Little Three Classes as the most brilliant, nearly 80% believed that the lack of social responsibility in the Six-Eight Style was a common phenomenon, and precisely this point made the elites of the Six-Eight Style "unable to achieve brilliance."
Among those who believed the Six-Eight Style was the most brilliant, the Old Three Classes and the Little Three Classes each accounted for 9.09%, and the rest were all members of the Six-Eight Style themselves. From a positive perspective: the Six-Eight Style had superhuman self-confidence; from a negative perspective: despite feeling good about themselves, the comrades still had opinions! If the issue of the Six-Eight Style were a debate competition that you wouldn't find hard to see on TV these days, the scene would roughly be as follows:
Cui Hengyu (lead debater for the affirmative side, 51 years old, General Manager of the Workers' Culture Development Corporation): The most brilliant generation must be the Six-Eight Style. This was created by the times. Compared to their predecessors, the Six-Eight Style did not endure the hardships of the Cultural Revolution but learned from the teachings of their elders. Not having endured hardships was their fortune, and feeling the suffering of the Old Three Classes was their valuable spiritual wealth. Growing up in an era of liberated productivity was a necessary social condition for the brilliance of the Six-Eight Style.
Shen Jialu (lead debater for the opposing side): From a historical perspective, society offered more opportunities to the Six-Eight Style than to the Old Three Classes, but they encountered many difficulties in showcasing their talents and realizing their ambitions and were not very good at utilizing opportunities. Additionally, the overall quality of this generation has severely declined, with a noticeable break in culture, so they cannot be considered "brilliant."
Yuan Ming (debater for the affirmative side, 25 years old, host of Oriental Television): The Six-Eight Style is confident and does not carry the psychological shadow of their predecessors. Precisely because of their confidence, they possess the courage to reflect on tradition and look forward. Given time, training, and favorable circumstances, their achievements will surpass those of previous generations.
Zhang Lu (debater for the opposing side, 28 years old, reporter for the Labor Newspaper): Everything went too smoothly for the Six-Eight Style, leading to arrogance, which was a result of their own actions.
Lin Ta (debater for the affirmative side, 33 years old, International Master of Chess): I summarize our side's argument in nine words: Fate favors later generations.
Evaluation The Old Three Classes were destined to endure suffering, bearing the cost of the "Cultural Revolution" of the old era and then taking on the cost of the reform era. The biggest problem of this generation was "high costs with disproportionate input and output." However, people expected them to shine, as if it were a political task pressing down on the heads of the Old Three Classes.
Being unremarkable almost became the hallmark of the Little Three Classes. The Little Three Classes were an important link connecting the past and the future. Between two brilliant performances, there always needs to be an intermission.
Strictly speaking, the Six-Eight Style was still a semi-finished product, "a game not yet finished." Comparing them with the already formed Old Three Classes and Little Three Classes was undoubtedly unfair.
In any society, the group that becomes the backbone is undoubtedly the most brilliant. Today's Six-Eight Style is destined to play the role of today's Old Three Classes in the future, just possibly more relaxed, with a purer "brilliance."
Confessions of Three Generations
Lu Xingsheng (47 years old, Old Three Class): We never boasted much about our experiences and insights, but the price we paid to gain these experiences and insights was too great. We should be allowed to occasionally discuss these prices and our reluctance to give up on life too early.
Do not think that people of the Old Three Class are walls; we are actually open doors. Doors are more honest than walls. Walls don't tell you what's on the other side, but open doors let you see your destination clearly.
He Jianhua (40 years old, Little Three Class): This generation entering middle age is mature, steady, practical, and capable, neither conservative nor "avant-garde," neither losing traditions nor lacking "trends." Time is merciless. People of the Little Three Class will not lament like the Old Three Class with phrases like "the sunset is beautiful but the twilight approaches," nor will they display the air of "heaven's pride" like the Six-Eight Style. In such circumstances, the greatest wish of the Little Three Class is the understanding, recognition, and larger stage from society!
Meng Xiao (28 years old, Six-Eight Style): Perhaps the biggest difference between our generation and the previous one is that they were full of ideals in their hearts and eyes, while we keep our ideals in our pockets.
