Identity Writing and Role Shaping of the"New Youth":A Textual Examination Based on the La Jeunesse
La Jeunesse established the identity connection between"mentor's expectation"and"stu-dent's worship"by means of editor-reader interaction.Through the planning and dissemination of youth devel-opment issues such as"criticizing filiality","breaking up the family",and"establishing a person",it guided young people to carry out ideological revolutions at family relations,social relations,subjective identity,and greatly contributed to the collective identity of the progressive young people in the period of the New Culture Movement,which shaped the image of"May Fourth"youth as"patriotic,progressive,democratic,and scien-tific".The mechanism of"writing-reading-communication"established and formed in the process of running the magazine played an important role in shaping the identity of young people,guiding them from theory to practice,and consciously assuming the role of youth of the era.Through the window of La Jeunesse's history and texts,its experience and practice of setting issues for youth discourse,adjusting the tension of youth devel-opment,building a platform for youth exchanges,and of fostering the revolutionary spirit of youth are impor-tant references for fostering youth in the new era.
