After the failure of the Second Revolution, Chen Duxiu, the founder of the magazine, thought about the current situation in China, and thought that the political revolution had no effect, and "to save China and build a republic, we must first carry out an ideological revolution". In the fourth year of the Republic of China (19 15), after Chen Duxiu returned to Shanghai from Japan in the summer, he began to prepare Youth magazine.

On the inaugural issue, Chen Duxiu published the inaugural word of "Tell the Youth" and put forward six requirements for the youth:

Progressive rather than conservative

Enterprising rather than retiring.

The world, not the country.

Practical rather than empty.

Science rather than imagination
