80后成长记 How the Post-80s Grew Up

The label “post-80s” was once a controversial term that people born in the 1980s resisted. It stands for rebellion and responsibility. But the perception has changed with the time, the post-80s image has in recent years rehabilitated, for the young generation’s effort to prove themselves.

“80后”这个标志曾经是一个有争议的名词，它代表着出生于1980年以后的人。80后是叛逆和不负责任的象征。但是随着时间的流逝，人们改变了这样的印象，80后印象最近年来得到了重新的塑造，因为年轻一代的努力证明了他们自己。

The film Post-80s, by first-time director Li Fangfang, reflects this situation. The film tells a story of an orphaned girl, as she grows from a 16 year-old high school student into a 27 year-old professional. The fighting girl gives the post-80s new image, they are positive to life, fighting for their future with continuous effort.

有一部电影叫《80后》，是导演李芳芳的处女作，就反映了这样的情况。电影讲述了一个失去双亲女孩的故事，她16岁从一所高中成长为一个27岁的教授。这个奋斗着的女孩给80后带来了新的印象，他们对生活乐观，为了将来而不停的奋斗着。

Now when people talk about the post-80s, they are no longer meant to the negative impression, they praise for this generation, for their effort to overcome the great pressure in today’s competitive world. The post-80s are no more the princess and princes, they have grown up, they are the future and the country’s hosts.

现在当人们谈到80后的时候，他们不再意味着消极的印象，人们赞扬这一代，因为80后付出努力，来克服今天竞争激烈的世界带来的压力。80后不再是王子和公主，他们已经成长，他们是未来，也是国家的主人。

The post-80s have grown up, they are fearless and find their own places in this world. I belong to this generation, and I am so proud of that.
