Growing up in a city of heroes, a mother and son measure the depth of their faith through climbing, while a guide uses “time travel” to ignite the sparks of history. The fourth episode of the “Song of Youth, Reason of Youth” series of ideological and political micro-videos focuses on new explorations and practices in ideological and political education, showing how they move the classroom into race tracks and museums, making every step of “innovation” a ladder to “reaching the heart.”
Song of Youth, Reason of Youth
“Song of Youth, Reason of Youth” is a famous sculpture located in Beijing’s Zhongshan Park, created in 1959 to commemorate the May Fourth Movement of 1919. It symbolizes the patriotic spirit and intellectual awakening of Chinese youth during that pivotal era. The artwork remains a cultural landmark representing ideals of progress and national rejuvenation.
race tracks
Race tracks are purpose-built circuits or courses for competitive racing, most famously for horse racing and auto racing. Their history dates back millennia, with chariot racing in ancient Roman circuses, while modern horse racing tracks like England’s Newmarket (established in the 1600s) and dedicated motor racing circuits (emerging in the early 1900s) formalized the sport. Today, they serve as major venues for sport, entertainment, and technological innovation in their respective fields.
museums
Museums are institutions that collect, preserve, and exhibit objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific significance for public education and enjoyment. Their modern form evolved from the private “cabinets of curiosities” of the Renaissance, becoming public institutions during the 18th and 19th centuries with the founding of landmarks like the British Museum (1759) and the Louvre (1793). Today, they serve as vital community hubs for preserving heritage and fostering understanding across cultures and time periods.
