国学故事：英雄出少年
As the saying goes, “Heroes are cultivated from a young age (英雄出少年).” There are many young heroes in Chinese history.
Jia Yi was a writer and statesman (政治家) of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). When he was a teenager, he became well-known for his writing skills. When Jia was 21 years old, Emperor Wendi gave him a job as his consultant (顾问), the youngest one at that time. One of his great essays (文章) was Zhian Ce (《治安策》). In the essay, he came up with useful advice on how to build long-term peace. Chairman Mao praised it as the best political essay of the dynasty.
Another young hero is Wang Bo, a poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). As a child prodigy (神童), he was able to write poems at the age of 6. A Eulogy to Tengwang Pavilion (《滕王阁序》) is his most famous work. Along with Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang, he is known as one of the four distinguished poets of the early Tang Dynasty (初唐四杰).
Besides Jia and Wang, there are many other young heroes in Chinese history. For example, famous warlord (统帅) Xiang Yu won the Battle of Julu at the age of 24. Youth is the “golden time” of life. Young people are energetic (精力充沛的), curious and have good memories. And they often dream big.
However, young people can’t become heroes naturally. It still takes great effort (努力). Youth is a time to explore (探索) and work hard. Today, being a hero doesn’t mean being famous. Ordinary (普通的) people who shine (闪光) and help others in need are also heroes. President Xi Jinping cares about our nation’s youth. He talked about young heroes, including Jia Yi and Wang Bo in a meeting in 2013.

充分利用你的“黄金时期”
俗话说：“英雄出少年”。 中国历史上有许多年轻的英雄。
贾谊是一位西汉时期（公元前206年-公元24年）的作家和政治家。当他十几岁的时候，他以写作技巧而闻名。贾21岁时，文帝给了他一份（类似）顾问的工作, 他是当时最年轻的一个。他众多伟大的文章之一是《治安策》。在这篇文章中，他就如何建立长期和平提出了有益的建议。毛主席称赞这是当时最好的政治文章。
另一位年轻的英雄是唐代诗人王勃（618-907）。作为神童, 他6岁就能写诗了。《滕王阁序》是他最著名的作品。他与杨炯、卢照邻、骆宾王并称为初唐四杰。
除了贾和王，中国历史上还有许多年轻的英雄。比如著名的统帅项羽，在24岁的时候赢得了巨鹿之战。青春是人生的“黄金时期”。年轻人精力充沛, 好奇心强，记忆力好。他们常常梦想远大。
然而，年轻人不可能天生成为英雄。这仍然需要很大的努力。青年时期是一个探索和努力工作的时期。今天，成为英雄并不意味着出名。那些普通人，能照亮并帮助有需要的人，他们也是英雄。
