处在“两个一百年”历史交汇点，我们驻足沉思，深情回首，展望未来。这是一个怎样的时代？这个时代亟待解决的问题是什么？当代青年肩负着怎样的历史使命？
01这是一个怎样的时代？
从世界上看，这是一个精神文明快步赶上物质文明的伟大进步时代。
许多有识之士认为，近代工业文明激发了人类的创造力，同时也释放了人性中的欲望。面对人类的自信与迷失，面对个体的崛起与沉沦，人们渴望着被引导，青年人尤其向往优秀文化引领人生航程。
从中国来看，这是一个中国日益走近世界舞台中央的伟大奋斗时代。
针对丛林法则和霸权主义等观念，人类命运共同体思想提供了前无古人的中国方案。中华民族从容、坚定、自信地向世界提供优质产品技术，向世界奉献优秀中华文化，造福世界人民。
从中外交流来看，这是一个中华文化润泽心田的伟大交融时代。
2018年，一位来自浙江的企业家访问日本，介绍自己学习王阳明思想的心得。日本一位70多岁的世界500强企业董事长听完她分享之后，恭敬地称她为老师。会谈结束，在酒店大堂，这位日本企业家请其他人稍微让一下，然后郑重地给这位中国企业家行了跪拜礼。中国企业家搀起他并鞠躬回礼。人们由衷赞叹这位日本企业家的真诚与自信，赞叹他对王阳明思想、中华文化、中华圣贤的敬重。由此可见，文化自信能促进交流融通，能建立相互尊重，能建立民心相通。
这是文化自信的伟大时代，这是民族复兴的光明未来。我们确信无疑，中华民族伟大复兴是我们这一代中华儿女的必将成就！
02这个时代亟待解决的问题是什么？
英国历史学家汤因比指出，今天人类的最大危机，无疑是年轻一代的心灵荒芜。中国青年整体奋发有为，少数人存在“空心病”状况。症状千差万别，但内在病根主要是心灵。不作为是心的问题，形式主义是心的问题，二代不接班也是心的问题。古人云，不能胜寸心，安能胜苍穹！
针对“物质与精神不平衡、心灵成长不充分”的问题，中华文化提供了卓有成效的解决之道。心是中华文化的核心密码。心是道的源泉，道是德的根本，德是事的根源，德的厚薄决定了事的高低、优劣、大小、多少。我们亲眼见证了，借助“心-道-德-事”这样的方法论，越来越多的中国青年在中华文化的引领下，开始建设心灵品质，提升格局境界，知行合一，建功立业！
03当代青年肩负着怎样的历史使命？
过往40年间，对于中国的未来，多国领导人持续做出了战略误判。国外青年亦对中国未来存在诸多误解。他们可能不了解昨日之中国，可能误解今日之中国，但谁也不想错过明日之中国。
国外青年的渴望，就是中国青年的担当。青年链接青年，青年影响青年，道法自然，且顺理成章。建立一个“青年链接青年”的平台，不仅必要，而且可行。
例如，一位留学8年在海外工作的中国青年，借助“心-道-德-事”方法论，深刻领会了中华文化精髓，立志在10年内成为一名知行合一的君子。从今年开始，他的母亲将在国内紧密链接1万名中国留学生的母亲；在国外，他将同步链接这1万名留学生，并助推他们建立学习机制，提升文化自信；这1万名留学生每人分别链接10名渴望了解中国的外国学生，总数就是10万外国青年。其使命是建立一个“母子共学，共同成长，呵护百万留学生”的平台，既关爱留学生家庭，又呵护留学生成长，更以中华文化润泽世界青年。
其运行逻辑是这样的：
第一步：在国内的母亲们热情链接，并引领留学生加入国内举办的中华文化空中课堂。
第二步：随着学习持续深入，留学生不断提升格局境界，提升文化自信，与外国学生的链接逐渐增强。
第三步：国内的母亲们设立100个专题小组，让外国学生透过100个窗口感受当代中国青年的蒸蒸日上，了解当代中国社会的欣欣向荣。
第四步：将100个专题小组迁移到一个APP平台上，让更多外国青年更好链接中国青年，了解中华文化，创立中国事业。
从母亲之间的链接，到留学生之间的链接，再到与外国学生的链接，在大家支持下，这样的“青年链接青年”平台可在较短时间内链接100万外国学生。事实上，仅在知行合一空中课堂，就有3000多名海内外中国青年参加学习，其中的留学生母子都想加入到这样自利利他的平台。
中华文化是解决人生重大问题的文化。实践证明，青年人渴望着被引导，也是可以被正确引导的，国外国内莫不如此。
例如，许许多多的中国企业正处于二代接班的关键时期。困扰已久的二代接班的难题，如今有了切实可行的解决方案。一些青年经营者借助“心-道-德-事”方法论深刻领会并践行中华文化精髓，切实提升了格局境界，增强了经营企业的责任感，增强了中华品牌的崇高感。这让一代企业家们感到十分欣喜。知行合一的企业家精神不只是天生的，也是可以养成的。
从北上广深到边境小城，从名校学子到职校青年……越来越多青年开始深悟笃行中华文化，提升格局境界，立志将青春镌刻在祖国的山河大地！
广阔天地，大有作为。在伟大的新时代，“青年链接青年”这样的学习成长平台，会让更多留学生成为中华文化的践行者和传播者，进而惠及更多海内外各国青年。中华文化，润泽心田。

Chinese Culture Enriching World Youth
A Humble Response to the “Three Questions of the Era”
As we stand at this historic moment where “Two Centenaries” meet, let us ruminate, take stock of history, and envision the future. What is this era that we live in? What is the pressing challenge of this era? What is the historic mission shouldered by today’s youth?
What is This Era that We Live In?-- This is an Era of Enormous Progress, Noble Undertakings, and Great Interchange
For the world, this era is marked by enormous progress where spiritual fulfillment must catch up to material civilization.
Many visionaries believe that while the industrial revolutions sparkled enormous human creativity, this liberation also unleashed the selfish desires in human nature. Faced with the gains and losses of human confidence and the rise and fall of the individual, people yearn to be led, especially young people who yearn for cultural inspirations to help them lead a meaningful life.
For China, this era is marked by noble undertakings where the entire nation steadily moves closer to the center stage of the world.
Faced with notions such as the law of the jungle and hegemony, China's solution is the unprecedented answer of building a community of shared future for mankind. The Chinese nation generously, firmly, and confidently provides high-quality products and technologies to the world, offering our great culture and advancing the well-being of all people.
For China’s relations with the world, this era is marked by the great interchange and enrichment of Chinese culture.
In 2018, a Chinese entrepreneur from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province paid a visit to Japan and shared her experiences of learning Yangming Philosophy. In the audience was a 70-year-old Japanese Chairman from a Fortune 500 company, he started to call her “sensei” after hearing her talk. After the meeting ended, the Japanese entrepreneur asked the others around him to make room and solemnly kneeled down to the Chinese entrepreneur in the hotel lobby. This Chinese entrepreneur helped him up with both hands and bowed in return. People genuinely praised the Japanese entrepreneur for his sincerity and confidence, as well as for the respect he has shown to Yangming Philosophy, to Chinese culture, and to the great minds of Chinese history. Cultural confidence can pave way for thoughtful dialogues and in-depth exchanges, and it can also build mutual respect and forge heart-to-heart connections among different peoples and cultures.
This is a great era of cultural confidence and a historic moment of national rejuvenation. We are more convinced than ever that this generation of Chinese is bound to accomplish the noble undertaking of the great revival of the Chinese nation!
What is the Pressing Challenge of This Era?-- The Imbalance and Void of Spiritual Versus Material Progress
As British historian Arnold Toynbee observed, the biggest crisis for humanity in modern times is the spiritual void among the young generation. Chinese youth are passionate and driven overall, but some are plagued by "a hollow heart." Its symptoms vary but its root cause lies within Xin or our heart-mind. A lack of motivation is a problem of the heart-mind; formalism is a problem of the heart-mind; founders unable to pass on their business to the second generation is also a problem of the heart-mind. As the saying goes, if we cannot command our own heart-mind, how can we prevail over the vast world?
Faced with the above problem, Chinese culture offers a highly effective answer.
The key lies in one’s own Xin (heart-mind) which is a central component of our culture. One’s Xin (heart-mind) is the source of his Dao (path), which serves as the root of De (virtues); the depth of one’s De will determine the quality and quantity of his Shi (accomplishments). This dynamic is known as the “Xin-Dao-De-Shi” methodology. We witnessed countless youth, with the help of the methodology and the guidance of Chinese culture, were able to build their inner character, elevate their vision and mindset, and become the movers and shakers of this great era.
What is the Historic Mission Shouldered by Today's Youth?-- Youth Connecting Youth, Let Our Culture Enrich the World
In the past four decades, leaders of many countries have continuously made strategic misjudgments about China’s future. Many young people around the world also misunderstand the future of China. While they might not know China from yesterday, still misunderstand the China of today, but no one will want to miss the China of tomorrow.
What young people around the world seek, rests on the shoulders of the Chinese youth. It is only natural that youth connect with youth and youth influence youth. So, building a “Youth Connecting Youth” platform is not only necessarily, but also feasible.
For example, a young Chinese professional who has lived abroad for 8 years has set a goal of uniting knowledge with action in 10 years after studying the “Xin-Dao-De-Shi” methodology and deeply grasping the essence of Chinese culture. Starting from this year, his mother will be connecting 10,000 mothers of other international students in China; while he will be connecting with 10,000 international students themselves and help them build a learning mechanism, improving their cultural confidence. These 10,000 international students will each connect with 10 non-Chinese students who want to learn more about China, which means connecting with 100,000 international youth. His mission is to build a platform that not only caters to the families of international students, but also nurtures their growth, and connects youth around the world to Chinese culture.
Its operation logic is as follows: firstly, the mothers who are in China will connect enthusiastically, and lead their children who are studying all over the world to join the online classes on Chinese culture held in China. Secondly, as their learning continues, these students will elevate their vision and mindset, boost their cultural confidence, gradually deepening their connection with international youth. Thirdly, mothers will set up 100 discussion groups, each focused on an important topic, letting international youth see how our youth is thriving and how our society is flourishing. Fourthly, take the 100 groups online to a platform like an app. Let more international youth connect with Chinese youth, learn Chinese culture and build their careers around China.
From mothers connecting mothers, to those studying abroad connecting with each other, to connecting with international youth, this type of “youth connecting youth” platform can link up one million students from around the world in a short period of time with everyone's support. In reality, we already have 3,000 Chinese youth from all over the world participating in our Yangming Philosophy of the Mind online program. Many among them and their parents all want to join such a platform that benefits themselves and others.
Chinese culture can solve life’s critical issues. Practice shows that youth yearn to be led, and can be correctly led, whether inside or outside of China.
For example, countless Chinese businesses are facing the critical question of succession. Many entrepreneurs have been delighted to find Chinese culture to be the practical and feasible solution to this dilemma. Many of their children have seen their inner character strengthened, vision and mindset broadened, and a sense of responsibility enriched after learning and practicing the “Xin-Dao-De-Shi” methodology and the essence of Chinese culture. These future leaders have gained a new appreciation for China’s home-grown brands. An entrepreneurial mindset that turns knowledge into action is not only innate, but can also be developed.
From Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou to the border towns, from prestigious universities to local colleges... More and more young people are joining this movement to deepen their understanding of Chinese culture, elevating their vision and mindset, and spending their best years writing this breathtaking epic unfolding all across China.
Conclusion
In this great era, a learning and growth platform like “Youth Connecting Youth” will allow even more Chinese international students to become practitioners and advocators of Chinese culture, therefore benefiting more youth around the world. Chinese culture enriches the heart and mind.
