What does the third item mean?

The third year refers to the middle and high school students in China during the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, namely 1966, 1967 and 1968. At that time, middle school junior high school students accumulated in school because of the Cultural Revolution. By 1968, there was a unique spectacle of six middle school students graduating in the same year, which triggered a huge employment crisis.

Therefore, after leaving school in the third semester, they basically became educated youth, and changed the previous mode of going to the countryside, which was mainly based on farms (including the Corps), to the mode of jumping the queue. Most of the third generation was born before and after the founding of the Republic of China, and grew up through anti-Rightism, Great Leap Forward, Lushan Conference, three years of economic difficulties, Sino-Soviet debate and the Cultural Revolution.

This is a special period in the history of the Republic in which development and setbacks coexist, light and darkness coexist, and progress and autocracy coexist. The adolescent stage of senior three is in the historical stage of prominent social contradictions and fierce inner-party struggle in China, and it is also a rare era of class struggle in the 20th century in New China.
