Chapter 182: The First Issue of New Youth

Picking up this slightly old but well-preserved publication, Yang Jing was surprised by the four words on it.

This turned out to be the inaugural issue of New Youth, Youth Magazine!

The cover of this magazine is light yellow, with a black frame on the front of the cover, and the French word LA-JEUNESSE is written at the top, which means "youth" in French. Below this line of French words, there is a row of young people sitting upright; below this black frame, from right to left, there is the vertical layout of "Youth Magazine" in red font, a head portrait of someone whose appearance can no longer be seen, and on the far left are the six words "Volume 1, No. 1" in vertical layout; and at the bottom of the cover is the publisher of this magazine - Shanghai Qun Yi Bookstore.

"Damn, this is actually the inaugural issue of New Youth!" Yang Jing was really surprised.

The New Youth magazine was a very influential revolutionary magazine in my country in the 1910s and 1920s. Originally named Youth Magazine, it was renamed New Youth from the second volume and played an important role during the May Fourth Movement.

As for the magazine in front of him, Yang Jing dared to confirm that if he was not mistaken, this was the inaugural issue of "New Youth", that is, "Youth Magazine"!

Although New Youth is not considered a rare ancient book, it has a very important historical significance, especially for Chinese youth organizations, and it has a height that other books and periodicals cannot reach. Its preciousness is definitely not inferior to those rare ancient books.

But how could such a valuable publication appear in such a street stall? Shouldn't such a publication appear in major libraries or museums?

Unable to believe it, Yang Jing boldly activated his identification skill. In front of such a precious publication, wasting that little bit of energy was nothing.

Sure enough, the answer given by Shengjie told Yang Jing that this was indeed the inaugural issue of "New Youth" published on September 15, 1915.

After Shengjie gave the answer, Yang Jing felt his hand holding the magazine trembling a little. When he looked at the pile of books and magazines again, he almost threw away the New Youth in his hand.

It turned out that there was another copy of "New Youth" below this one, and judging from its appearance, it was obvious that this publication was also very old.

Yang Jing was unconvinced and scrolled down. What caught his eye was all New Youth, from the second issue of the first volume to the first issue of the second volume. That was the magazine that was renamed New Youth. There was still New Youth below, but the issue number had changed to the third and fourth volumes...

"Oh my god! This boss is so awesome! He actually collected a complete set of "New Youth" magazines!" Yang Jing was so excited that he almost shouted out.
