编辑的话:本刊去年10期刊发了湖南读者李明益的文章《我不停地奋斗,为什么成功却离我越来越遥远》,在读者中引起强烈反响。十几年来,家在农村、出身贫寒的李明益不甘平庸,刻苦学习文化知识,考人工厂,并走出农村到南方打工,她拚命工作,不停学习,但最终未能改变自己的命运,十几年坎坷,一身病痛,头发快掉光了,却又两手空空地回到了家乡。李明益痛苦地问:为什么我一直困守着十几年如一日的苦苦挣扎?我不停地奋斗,可是为什么成功却离我越来越远?李明益的困惑与苦恼引来众多的读者参与讨论,青年一代对理想与现实、命运与奋斗、失败与成功等人生问题的热切关注,使我们想起了16年前起因于本刊发表的潘晓《人生的路,为什么越走越窄》的那场人生观大讨论。今天,我们在发表读者的讨论的同时,也请当年的“潘晓”之一潘祎同志再来谈谈16年来的人生感受。欢迎青年朋友继续写来文章参与探讨。 Editor’s Note: The magazine published last year 10 issues of Hunan readers Li Mingyi’s article “I kept fighting, why success is more and more far away from me,” aroused strong repercussions among readers. Over the past decade, Li Mingyi, a poor family member in the countryside, was unwilling to be mediocre. She studied hard at her knowledge of the culture, took a test of the factory and went out of the countryside to work in the south. She worked hard and kept studying. However, she eventually failed to change her own destiny. Years of ups and downs, a pain, hair is gone, but empty-handed back to his hometown. Li Mingyi painfully asked: Why I have been trapped for more than a decade as a day of struggle? I kept fighting, but why success is farther and farther away? Li Mingyi’s confusion and distress attracted many readers to participate in the discussion, The young generation’s keen interest in life issues such as ideals and reality, fate and struggle, failure and success reminds us of that 16 years ago, which was caused by the publication of Panxiao’s article, “Why the road to life is getting narrower and narrower” A great discussion of life. Today, while we are publishing our readers’ remarks, we also invite Comrade Pan Yi, one of the “Pan Xiao” members, to talk about our 16 years of life experience. Welcome young friends to continue writing articles to discuss.
