在今天的现实生活中，这样的事例也是很多的。生命不息，攻关不止，为中华的科学事业战斗到最后一刻的蒋筑英；用美好壮丽的青春，谱写舍己救人共产主义之歌的张华；用生命去履行一个公民职责的安柯；更有身残志坚、顽强学习，面对坎坷的人生之路，仍然勇猛前进的当代保尔张海迪。他们都是人生征途上的强者。他们的人生价值是可贵的。
朋友们，这样的人生是多么美好啊！
贝多芬曾说：〃我必须学会掌握自己的命运，我决不会屈服于命运。能把生命活上千次百次真是很美！〃
然而生命只有一次，保尔·柯察金那段至理名言，我们每个青年都应当牢牢记住，并把它变为自己的实际行动。千万不要像屠格涅夫笔下的罗亭那样，成为语言的巨人、行动的矮子！
亲爱的朋友们，一味地徘徊、彷徨，一味地哀叹、烦恼，并不等于思考、探索、前进，更不是成熟的标志。我们不能让生命在纸牌中磨灭，不能让青春在酒精中溶化，不能让斗志在空想中瓦解，而应当在为祖国和人民的贡献中创造自己的价值！
人生可能腐朽，也可能燃烧，我们不愿腐朽，让我们燃烧起来吧！燃烧起来吧！燃烧起来
Facing this audience on the stage； I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history； for what we are facing today is more than a mere petition or contest。 It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people； representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the ing of a new century。
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity； at such a historic moment； to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years； a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well。
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience； and only a tiny fragment of it at that； it still represents； I believe； the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years。
In my elementary years； there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons。
The teacher asked me to help her； and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me。 but as a young boy； restless； thoughtless； I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself。
One day before the final exam； she came up to me and said； 〃Could you please explain this to me？ I want very much to do better this time。 〃 I started explaining； and finished in a hurry。 Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes； I ran off quickly。 Nat surprisingly； she again did very badly in the exam。 And two months later； at the beginning of the new semester； word came of her death of blood cancer。 No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill； but I couldn't forgive myself。 I simply couldn't forget her eyes； which seem to be asking； 〃Why didn't you do a little more to help me； when it was so easy for you？ Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you； so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret？〃
I was about eight or nine years old at that time； but in a way it was the very starting point of my life； for I began to understand the word 〃responsibility〃 and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly； for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me： the mutual need and trust of people； the co…operation and inter…reliance which are the very foundation of human society。
Later in my life； I continued to experience many failures。 But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl； for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can。
As I grew up； changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones； I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society； in a way； was in its formative years like myself。 New buildings； new modities and new fashions appear every day。
New ideas； new information； new technologies。 People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds。 Society is being more petitive。
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts。 Such is the era in which this generation ；grows and matures。
Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it。 Yet in the meantime； many problems still exist。
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting。 We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars。
We buy shoddy medicines； or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines； that aggravate； rather than alleviate our diseases since money； many people believe； is the most important thing in the world that must be made； even at the expense of morality and responsibility。
Such an era； therefore； determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of petition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively。
Such an era； furthermore； demands； that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems。 History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity。
Standing here now； I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student。 Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life。 But this doesn't discourage me any； for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive； for the best； it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living。
Standing here now； I think of the past 15 years of this nation； which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age； most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered b
