The reform and opening up since 1978 has gone through 40 years. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has brought about great social and economic changes in China, and also caused life changes in Chinese, especially the younger generation. After 40 years of reform and opening-up, young people entering the new era in Socialism with Chinese characteristics are the "innovative generation" and "fashionable generation".

　　Top Ten Popular Words of Youth and Their Changes

　　Looking back on the 40-year history of China’s reform and opening-up, the author sums up ten popular words among young people, mainly including — —

　　★ Dare to drink soup.

　　Reform and opening up means "invigorating the country and opening to the outside world". The younger generation took the lead in exploring and trying, and stepped out of the new step of the reform era with the courage of "daring to drink soup". "Tou Pei Tang" is a folk language in the Pearl River Delta region, which means that whoever dares to try the first soup cooked will dare to drink it first. Looking back at history, from the courage to drink soup to the rationality of "discharging pollutants without exclusion", it is an important support for the continuous development of reform and opening up, the continuous change of young people’s ideas and lifestyles.

　　★ Time is money and efficiency is life.

　　After the reform and opening up, young people gradually face market development, commodity trading and money exchange. Especially in special economic zones and coastal open cities, emphasizing money and efficiency has gradually become a popular concept. The most popular saying is that "time is money and efficiency is life". Young people not only earn money by labor and talent, but also don’t indulge in money and enjoyment. Instead, they pursue friendliness, mutual assistance, honesty and beauty beyond money, rich life value and sound personality development.

　　★ Start with me

　　In 1979, Tsinghua University students took the lead in shouting the slogan "Start with me", which spread from colleges and universities to communities and rural areas, and to plains and mountainous areas, and became the strongest voice to inspire people, especially teenagers, to work hard and study hard. "Starting from me" advocates that people take the initiative to take the responsibility of promoting social development and progress, participate in social affairs for their own happiness, and actively contribute.

　　★ going to sea

　　"Going to sea" is actually a figurative word, which means that young people jump into the "sea" of commodity economy and market competition and struggle and survive independently. In the early days of reform and opening up, it means jumping out of traditional organs, state-owned enterprises and units to make a living freely. Then the word "doing business" appeared, and self-employed, Hong Kong-funded enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises were all included in this scope. It is this large number of young people who "went into the sea" and "went into business" that gave birth to many outstanding entrepreneurs and outstanding management talents, and created the miracle of China’s economic development.

　　★ foreign cut in line

　　The popular "foreign jumping in line" among young people is a paraphrase of the saying that educated youth went to the countryside to "jump in line" in the 1960s, and transplanted to point out the generation studying in China. The author finds that it is closely related to the economic development and power enhancement of China after the reform and opening up to the outside world, which is a rare opportunity to be enjoyed by children from ordinary middle-income families. The younger generation who have gained all kinds of knowledge and insight through "studying abroad" will bring new ideas and new horizons after returning home, injecting new forces into economic revitalization and social construction.

　　★ Chuangke

　　"Maker" is a popular term among young people in recent years, which is influenced by both foreign fashion and national leaders’ emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship. Specifically, "maker" refers to a person who turns ideas into reality without making profits. After social communication, "maker" refers to young people who have innovative ideas and start their own businesses. The survey found that the generation of "Maker Generation" benefited from China’s opening to the outside world and economic development. After helping young people get rid of poverty and solve the problem of food and clothing, in order to realize their dreams, create the value of life, constantly surpass themselves and break through the society, and obtain the development and changes of science and technology, economy, culture and welfare.

　　★ Networm

　　There are some names for the youth network generation, such as "netizen", "net bug" and "net fan". The author finds that with the growth and maturity of teenagers after 1990s and 00s, the diversity and hierarchy of online games will become increasingly obvious, and new games such as "indie games" which focus on humanity, artistry and creativity will become a new bright spot in society and a new element to guide the development of teenagers’ interests. The Internet age has triggered teenagers’ recognition of "Internet addicts", brought opportunities such as online knowledge, online games, online entrepreneurship and online employment, and pushed China into a brand-new development environment.

　　★ wonderful flowers

　　The original meaning of "exotic flowers" refers to strange and beautiful flowers, which are often used to describe unusual outstanding literary works or outstanding people. Now it is a metaphor for someone (or something) who is unconventional and full of personality. Especially, young people after 90s and 00s have rendered this word into a popular discourse of "both praise and disparagement", "both praise and disparagement", "derogatory with praise" and "seemingly derogatory with real praise", which has more social significance. The reasons why the post-90 s and post-00 s youth are keen to participate in and watch the "Qipa Theory" are, on the one hand, to hear all kinds of ideas and statements that are the same as their own hearts in the debate; On the other hand, it is to see the "strange" youth shine and shine in the debate; Have a special sense of identity and pride.

　　★ Volunteer service

　　The spirit of "dedication, friendship, mutual assistance and progress" advocated by chinese young volunteers association inherits the tradition of "learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds", and adapts to the young generation’s desire to give back to society and help others while increasing their income and improving their lives, and provides opportunities to participate in social services. Volunteerism can become an important part of the socialist core values in China today, and the full development of the core values has laid a more solid foundation for the cause of voluntary service. Guide young people to form healthy values and good personality in the practice of caring, dedication and helping others.

　　★ World Fan

　　China has gone through a century of exploration and 40 years of reform and opening-up, from "closed door" to "open eyes to see the world" and from "bringing in" to "going out". Nowadays, young people are more and more confident, more and more proud, more and more international thinking and international vision, and dare to stand on the international stage.

　　The social value of the change of youth’s concept

　　On the surface, the changes of youth catchwords are only "changes in words and entries", but behind the emergence and evolution of each word, it has an important influence on the social times; At the same time, the emergence of every new concept and consciousness of young people has a positive role in promoting the social structure and promoting the deepening and popularization of reform and opening up.

　　(A) innovative social concepts

　　Looking back on the changes of youth catchwords in the 40 years of reform and opening up, we can find that on the one hand, with the social changes, the younger generation is constantly born with new ideas and new pursuits; On the other hand, the development of youth catchwords has become an important element of social fashion and a manifestation of social civilization and progress. It can be said that the change of young people’s ideas has promoted the continuous generation of new ideas, new concepts and new consciousness in China society, and maintained the vigorous vitality and development vitality of society.

　　(2) Innovating the social system

　　Ideas play a guiding role in practical behavior. Since the reform and opening up, the changes of youth catchwords have not only affected the development and changes of generations of young people and even generations of Chinese, but also become an important driving force for innovating social system and social structure. When people in the past were still used to relying on the "unit system" and "iron rice bowl", a large number of young people took the lead in choosing "the tide of going to the sea" and "the tide of working", and chose the work and living space outside the "old system". These industries and occupations, which were very humble and neglected at first, have gradually become an important force of China’s socialist market economy and an important part of the new social system and structure. In the process of China’s economic system and social reform in the future, the exploration and practice triggered by young people’s new ideas will further promote institutional innovation and structural changes, and will provide a strong impetus for social modernization.

　　(3) Innovating social resources

　　Since 1978, human resources, including young people, have been stimulated through reforms such as the rural "contract responsibility system" and the urban "enterprise responsibility system", which has become an important element to promote social development and progress. Since the 1990s, with the increasing opportunities for young people to choose freely, start their own businesses and form their own associations, more types of resources have emerged to promote social development. Youth social organizations, in particular, have become a new field of youth employment and entrepreneurship, and a new force to give full play to youth creativity and promote social civilization and progress. These resources are different from all kinds of resources in the original social form, and communicate a solid foundation for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　(D) Innovative social networks

　　In the 40 years since China’s reform and opening-up, generations of young people have experienced constant changes in social networks. The "acquaintance network" under the background of traditional villages has gradually broken through, expanding to the "stranger network" in the process of urbanization and entering the "virtual network" in the network age and information society. It can be said that the elderly are the "aborigines" of traditional community and village life, while the youth are the "aborigines" of the information network society. On the one hand, they actively regard network technology and information resources as the basis of building new social relations, and the whole country and even the whole world can establish cooperative development through "virtual relations" to create new wealth and resources of society; On the other hand, the relationship between "virtual network", "stranger network" and "acquaintance network" is actively reconstructed under the new historical conditions, so that tradition can be rejuvenated by fashion.

The "three-mixed" problem of domestic waste (mixed input, mixed collection and mixed transportation) is a persistent problem that affects the efficiency of domestic waste classification and recycling. In recent years, Shapingba District has focused on the outstanding problems in the delivery, collection and transportation of domestic waste classification, carried out special rectification work in the front end, middle end and law enforcement end of domestic waste classification, gradually improved the long-term management mechanism, and made effective progress in domestic waste classification.

The front end is accurate.

At 7: 00 a.m. on February 28th, in Qingyue Community, Fengwen Street, Shapingba, Peng Bin, a garbage sorting instructor, put on a volunteer vest and armband, and stood beside the centralized garbage sorting point to guide residents to put garbage in a classified way. "Contaminated napkins belong to other garbage and cannot be thrown into recyclable garbage bins." Peng Bin patiently explained the classification to the residents. "Every day from 7: 00 am to 9: 00 am and from 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm, it is the peak period of domestic garbage delivery and our busiest time." Peng Bin told reporters. Xuefu Yueyuan public rental housing area has a large population. In order to make the knowledge of domestic waste classification a household name, Peng Bin will also carry out door-to-door publicity and knowledge lecture hall training in his spare time, and strive to pass on the knowledge of domestic waste classification to every resident.

Nowadays, the residents of Yueyuan public rental housing community in Xuefu have gradually developed the habit of sorting domestic garbage. "Now there are three garbage bins standing in the home, which are placed in the kitchen, living room and bedroom respectively. Every time I go out, I will pack them and throw them into the corresponding garbage bins." Resident Yu Xinhui told reporters.

At present, Shapingba District focuses on improving the quality of accurate delivery of kitchen waste, and continues to deepen the publicity of "knocking at the door", strengthen the guidance and persuasion of residents’ classified delivery, and at the same time, support positive incentives such as red and black lists, and strive to improve the quality of front-end classified delivery.

Mid-range transportation is not mixed.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, the kitchen waste collection and transportation vehicle driven by Wang Ping arrived at Xuefu Yueyuan public rental housing community on time and began to prepare for the collection and transportation of kitchen waste. I saw Yang Jun take out a piece of white film and spread it flat on the ground at the rear of the car. This step is to prevent the oil of kitchen waste from dripping on the road. "If non-kitchen waste is found in the bucket during recycling, we will refuse it and dump it into the garbage truck after the cleaning staff reclassifies it." Wang Ping introduced to the reporter.

It is understood that the collection and transportation of kitchen waste in Shapingba District is currently carried by Chongqing Solid Waste Transportation Co., Ltd. The company sends more than 20 professional vehicles for "one-stop" collection and transportation service, and the kitchen waste collected from various communities will be transported to Xiyong garbage primary transfer station and Zouma garbage secondary transfer station for back-end treatment.

The front-end delivery is accurate, and the middle-end delivery is not mixed. The collection and delivery of other garbage will come to the solid waste transfer station on Zhanxi Road from another route. This transfer station is one of the four other garbage transfer and collection stations in Shapingba District, and the domestic garbage trucks near the business circle of Three Gorges Square in Shapingba will be cleared and transferred here.

In the main control room of the transfer station, several display screens are lined up, and the operators keep an eye on each screen and observe the dumping port in real time. "If the vehicle is observed to have non-other garbage such as construction waste residue, branches and leaves when it is dumped, the staff will suspend the work of the vehicle and inform the driver to clean it up immediately. The site with serious mixed transportation will refuse the vehicle garbage." He Jian, the stationmaster, pointed to the screen and said.

It is reported that the solid waste transfer station on Zhanxi Road will compress nearly 220 tons of other garbage in one day, and the other garbage after classification and compression will be transferred by designated vehicles to the Zouma garbage secondary transfer station to complete the whole chain collection and transportation process of domestic garbage classification.

Strict law enforcement and supervision

"Your vehicle has vague signs and garbage dripping, please get off and cooperate with it." "Vegetable leaves, tube bones, etc. belong to kitchen waste and cannot be mixed with other garbage." At the vehicle entrance of the solid waste transfer station on Zhanxi Road, Zhang Hua of the Emergency Brigade of the Urban Management Law Enforcement Detachment of Shapingba District made a surprise inspection of the garbage collection vehicles.

According to Zhang Hua, the phenomenon of a small amount of dripping, leaking, unclear transportation garbage label and unclean body will be warned and registered in the first investigation. If there is obvious garbage mixed transportation, they will order the driver to rectify on the spot and impose further administrative punishment after investigation.

It is reported that since the launch of the "three mixed" special rectification campaign of domestic waste in Chongqing, the urban management law enforcement detachment of Shapingba District has taken many measures to continuously promote the implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste in Chongqing". The detachment adopts various forms of propaganda work, such as "entering organs" and "entering enterprises", and at the same time strengthens supervision and law enforcement and actively carries out law enforcement actions.

The relevant person in charge of the Urban Management Bureau of Shapingba District said that Shapingba District will further deepen the implementation and publicity of domestic waste classification, strengthen the work efficiency at the front end, the middle end of transportation and collection, and the law enforcement end of disposal, promote the formation of a domestic waste treatment atmosphere with the participation of the whole people, and effectively solve the problem of "mixed investment, mixed collection and mixed transportation" of domestic waste.
