Introduction to the plot of The Young Generation

Version 1 In the early 1960s, Xiao Jiye and Lin Yusheng, graduates of the School of Geology, were assigned to work in a geological team in Qinghai. Lin Yusheng was afraid of a hard life and refused to return to Shanghai on the pretext of illness. Xiao Jiye and his team discovered new mineral deposits after many explorations. The leadership asked him to return to Shanghai to participate in the approval and defense of the geological report and to treat leg diseases. He was also entrusted with understanding the situation of Lin Yusheng, who had left the team but had not returned. After Xiao Jiye returned to Shanghai, he found that Lin Yusheng was unwilling to return to Qinghai and wanted to find a job in Shanghai, and was holding back his fiancée Xia Qianru's graduation placement. So, while he was busy defending the geological report, he and Lin Yusheng's sister Lin Lan persuaded Lin Yusheng to return to the team. The hospital found that Xiao Jiye's leg disease was osteoma and there was a possibility of amputation. What made Xiao Jiye feel even more painful was that he discovered that the disease certificate sent by Lin Yusheng to the exploration team was forged. When he seriously and sincerely pointed out Lin Yusheng's wrong thinking, the two fell out. Lin Yusheng's adoptive father, Lin Jian, used the suicide notes left by Lin Yusheng's biological parents before they died heroically to educate him and finally made him wake up. Soon, Xiao Jiye's leg disease was cured, and the geological report was reviewed and approved. Lin Yusheng and Xia Qianru joined Xiao Jiye in the geological team. Lin Lan also actively signed up to go to the Xinjiang farm to contribute her youth to the construction of the motherland's frontier. Version 2 After graduating from Shanghai Institute of Geology, Xiao Jiye and Lin Yusheng came to work in the Qinghai Plateau Geological Team with revolutionary enthusiasm. Xiao Jiye's team discovered a new mine, and the leader asked him to return to Shanghai to participate in the geological report approval defense, treat his injured leg, and learn about Lin Yusheng, who had not returned from the team for half a year. After returning to Shanghai, Xiao Jiye discovered that Lin Yusheng refused to return to Qinghai because he was afraid of a hard life, and was also holding back his fiancée Xia Qianru's graduation placement. While Xiao Jiye was busy defending his geological report, he and Lin Yusheng's sister Lin Lan were doing ideological work on Lin Yusheng. The doctor diagnosed that Xiao Jiye had an osteoma in his leg and there was a possibility of amputation. What made Xiao Jiye even more distressed was that he discovered that Lin Yusheng's disease certificate was forged. So, he found Lin Yusheng to help him analyze the seriousness of the mistake and point out the direction of correction. Lin Yusheng's adoptive father also took out the suicide note written by his biological parents before their death and educated Lin Yusheng, finally making him wake up. Finally, Xiao Jiye's leg was cured and the geological report was approved. Lin Yusheng and Xia Qianru returned to the geological team with Xiao Jiye. Lin Lan also actively responded to the party's call and went to work on a farm in Xinjiang. Version 3 is adapted from the play of the same name by Chen Yun and Xu Jingxian. After graduating from Shanghai Institute of Geology, Xiao Jiye and his classmates came to work in the Qinghai Plateau Geological Team with revolutionary enthusiasm. Xiao Jiye and his team discovered new mineral deposits. The leader asked him to go to Shanghai to participate in the geological report approval defense, and told him to hurry up and treat the leg injured by the rock. At the same time, he also asked him to understand the situation of Lin Yusheng, a member of the team who had not returned for half a year. After Xiao arrived in Shanghai, he found that Lin Yusheng was afraid of the hard life and refused to return to Qinghai because of illness. He wanted to find a job in Shanghai, and he also tried every means to hinder his cousin Xia Qianru's graduation placement issue. Xiao Jiye learned about Lin Yusheng's situation. On the one hand, he was busy defending his geological report, and on the other hand, he helped Lin Yusheng with Lin Yusheng's sister Lin Lan. Xiao Jiye went to the hospital to check his leg injury. The doctor diagnosed that his leg had osteoma and there was a possibility of amputation. This unfortunate news surprised him, but what made him even more sad was that he learned from the hospital that the disease certificate Lin Yusheng sent to the exploration team after returning to Shanghai was forged. After returning home, Xiao Jiye asked his grandma: "How did you spend the most difficult time in your life?" Grandma Xiao told how the year Xiao Jiye was born, the party's underground organization was severely damaged, and Xiao Jiye's father worked in the Kuomintang. He was killed in prison, and only his grandfather and grandson were left in his family. When Grandma Xiao couldn't find a job or a party, she gritted her teeth and finally made it to victory across the country. Grandma's words inspired Xiao Jiye. He firmly said to Grandma Xiao: Revolution requires exercise. I think about the leg problem this way. If it doesn't work, one leg... can still make revolution. Grandma Xiao was very happy after hearing this, and told Xiao Jiye to actively help Lin Yusheng improve his awareness of his mistakes, adhere to principles and patiently persuade him. Xiao Jiye found Lin Yusheng and helped him analyze the seriousness of his mistakes and pointed out the direction to correct them. But Lin Yusheng was very unconvinced and felt that there was nothing wrong with making his life happier. Finally, Lin Yusheng's adoptive father, Lin Jian, took out the suicide note left by his biological parents and educated him on the blood feud of his biological parents who dedicated themselves to the revolutionary cause and were killed by the reactionaries, making him realize his mistakes. Later, Xiao Jiye's leg was completely cured, and the geological report was approved. Lin Yusheng decided to return to Qinghai with Xiao Jiye. Xia Qianru also learned a lesson from Lin Yusheng's incident, resolutely obeyed the assignment and went to work in the border geological team. Lin Yusheng’s sister Lin Lan also actively responded to the party’s call to work on farms in Xinjiang. On a sunny day, amidst the joyful farewells of their teachers, friends and parents, they rushed to the positions most needed in the motherland.
