原创 幸福富贵自信的80后

有位在米国长大的70后华人,在一篇博文中有这么一句话:"中国独生子女这代人有他们的时代优势，那就是可以回国当快乐富裕海归，而50后和60后留学生们大多是靠自己打拼留在美国的，很少有退路，虽然语言方面起点不如80后留学生，但专业能力和坚韧性都占明显上风。"

一位网名叫“跳跳”的80后留米中国学生，是这样给博主留言的：“I admit in China, a lot of 80s, especially whose parents are very rich or very powerful, indulge themselves very much. But for those of us who go abroad, I have a lot of friends like me, who work very hard and try to realize our American dream! We don't have family or relatives here, but we try to make more friends and know more about U.S. life. We are not like what you described at all. I think each generation has its excellent groups and corrupted groups. So are 70s, 60s... It true that since our generation were born in reform and opening up, more and more people become crazy about money and power. But see these corrupted officials. Are they 80s? No. I think most of them are 50s, 60s, and 70s. Everybody can get corrupted in this big tide. It's just as media become popular, more 80s problems got into the spotlight.”

我大概翻译一下：

“我承认，许多中国的80后，特别是父母比较富贵的，比较专心于享受富贵生活。但是，象我这样的留学生群体，大家有很多的朋友，而且努力工作以实现我们的米国梦。我们在米国无亲无靠，但我们会交往更多的朋友和更详尽地了解米国生活。我们并不象你文章中所说的那样。我认为：在每一代人中，会有杰出的一群，也会有平庸之辈，70后，60后，。。。也一样如此。我们80后这一代，生在改革开放的时代。在这个大潮中，50后，60后，70后痴迷于富贵的大有人在，并不仅仅是我们80后。80后，慢慢会走上前台。”

因文“跳跳”答复了我给博主的留言（后面会看到），我也给“跳跳”这条留言做了答复：“more and more people become crazy about money and power”，就是这个异化了你们的价值观。如果留学，没学到西方的文明思想，意义不大。因为现在大学毕业证，太容易拿了。

我是这样给博主留言的：从科技方面的成绩来看，中国的80后是没出什么成绩。。。原*子*蛋/导弹/卫星是老一辈打下的江山；中国的计算机，特别是互联网等是60后，70后们打下的江山：搜狐，百度，腾讯，网易，新浪，阿里巴巴。。。。。

 网友“跳跳”回复了我的留言：“80s are too young to make big achievements. 20 or 30 years later, when we are 40 to 50, a lot of achievements will be done by us. Those Atom bomb and satellites are not made during our ancestors' 20s, right? We 80s have our own advantages. If we could make use of them, and work hard, then we'll be as good as you guys! It's only a matter of time. ”

我大概翻译下：

“80后现在还很年轻，所以成就自然就少。二三十年后，等我们到了四五十岁的时候，我们也一样会取得很多成就。象原*子*蛋，卫星不就是20后前辈们的成就吗？我们80后有我们的优势。我们将站在前辈的肩膀上，努力工作，然后定能象前辈们一样出色。这只不过是时间问题。”

 我回答“跳跳”：It's only a matter of time？Facebook创始人扎克伯格，是米国的80后代表，我们中国80后代表有谁？不过，对你的说法，表示理解；对你的信心，表示钦佩。

 我最想回复“跳跳”，但又没写上去的一句话是：

历史按时间来记载,是连续的,一分一秒也不会少;历史按创新创造来记载,肯定会有断点,在某个地区,几十年时间鲜有创新创造是完全可能发生的.富贵享乐的生活，对于创新创造，不知道是有利还是相反？
