知青亭记
http://www.yhnkzq.com/NewsShow1.jsp?msgId=348泱泱五羊城，美哉白云山。四季皆苍翠，树茂百花繁。
公元二0一0年九月，此山添一新景，曰“知青亭”。
“知青”，为“知识青年”简称，乃中国二十世纪上山下乡运**动之主体。该运动可追溯到1955年，于1968年达到高潮，延续至1970年代末期。全国各地先后有将近一千八百万知识青年卷入其中，包括广东的97.32万人。他们的青春足迹，遍及全国的穷乡僻壤，边疆荒原，以及海南岛、雷州半岛、珠江三角洲国营农场和南粤广阔的农村。
上山下乡的共同经历，成为一代人最难忘的生命历程；“知识青年”的共同名字，铸造了他们永远的知青情怀。坎坷磨难将知青锤炼，改革开放令知青重生。知青这一代，承前启后，继往开来，在平实里奉献，于坚韧中奋发！
值新中国诞生六十周年之际，在白云山管理局党委的重视和支持下，经粤海农垦（兵团）知青网站发起，广东各地知青踊跃响应，不论职位，不分富贫，积极捐资献策，在此处建起“知青亭”。自此，无论风雨阴晴，登临纵目，其亭廊敞怀，昂然矗立，和云山珠水同在，与南粤大地共存，以回眸昨日，以告慰今天，以启示未来。
巍巍知青亭，属我亦属你，载入千秋史，留下永世情。
是为记。

PAVILION OF THE SENT-DOWN YOUTH
Green in every season,
The Baiyun Mountains tower
High above the City,
Their valleys bright with flowers.
In September 2010, a new feature was added to the landscape of Baiyun Mountain Park: the Pavilion of the Sent-Down Youth.
The term “sent-down youth” refers to the generation of Chinese who were sent to the countryside during the “Up to the Mountains and Down to the Villages” movement of the mid-twentieth century. The movement, which had its beginnings in 1955, reached a nationwide peak in 1968, and continued on a large scale into the late seventies, scattered nearly 18 million children of middle- and high-school age to China’s farthest hinterlands. In Guangdong, roughly one million students took part in the movement, spending their teenage years on the state-run farms of Hainan Island, the Leizhou Peninsula, and the Pearl River Delta, and in rural villages throughout the province’s vast countryside.
The experiences of the sent-down years became a touchstone for an entire generation, and the name zhiqing—“sent-down youth”—left an indelible stamp upon millions of hearts. Tempered in the forge of hardship, reborn in the years following Reform and Opening-Up, the members of the sent-down generation continue to give their utmost, laboring with quiet perseverance and unbending strength, bearing the memory of the past into a brave and uncharted future.
Upon the 60th anniversary of the new China, members of Guangdong and Hainan Sent-Down Youth Net launched an effort to dedicate a “Pavilion of the Sent-Down Youth” as a tribute to their generation; its construction was made possible by former sent-down youth all over Guangdong Province who, regardless of income or status, contributed selflessly to see it completed. In rain and in sun, rising proud against the mountains, the Pearl River, and the Cantonese landscape, the Pavilion of the Sent-Down Youth opens its halls to all comers, offering a moment of recollection, a respite in the present, and an inspiration for the future.
Guangdong and Hainan Sent-Down Youth Net would like to thank the management of Baiyun Mountain Park for its support in the construction and maintenance of this pavilion.
May this pavilion be a haven
For all who shelter here;
And may the memory of our courage
Remain unfaded through the years.
