20.More than 20Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence.Wayne Meisel,director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University,said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves.In these circumstances,he said,young people lack confidence,which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.In spite of the different conditions in China,Li Xuequan,director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation,said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation and corruption.In order to solve these problems,the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favourable conditions for the healthy growth of young people,as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of"challenge to youth"to many young people,urging them to commit themselves to meet such needs as feeding the hungry,housing the homeless,caring for the lonely and sick,serving the elderly and preserving the environment.The letter says:"Through the service,we touch the lives of others and enrich our own."
