Praise of a Young 20-Year-Old Life 　　This is the first part of the posthumous notes on Li Xiangqun, a good fighter of the new period. 　　The three rivers - the Yangtze, the Lijiang and Nandu rivers-are calling the same name; 　　People of the three places-Jingjiang, Guilin and Hainan Island-are alling the same name; 　　From last summer to this early spring, people in his hometown, his barracks, in his long resting dykes and in the rivers where he will "live" for ever and ever-are calling his name again and again with one voice-Li Xiangqun! 　　--A Party member with a Party standing of only eight days 　　--A soldier with a length of military service of only 20 months. 　　--A glorious 20-year-old youth from the large special economic zone of Hainan. 　　Everything related to him is so short and yet what he left behind to the people is so long. 　　His name will forever be engraved in the rolling Yangtze River, in the quiet Xiangsi River and in the clear Nandu River.
