Abstract

The comprehensive victory of poverty alleviation has been ingrained into the youth group through grand political narratives, forming a collective memory among young people regarding poverty alleviation, which influences the formation of their political identity. This study adopts an in-depth interview method to investigate the views of Chinese youth on media images and news reports related to poverty alleviation, and explores the mechanisms behind the formation of collective memory. The study finds that the collective memory of poverty alleviation among youth is influenced by mainstream media and guided by interpersonal communication. The acceptance of this topic by youth relies on the translation of symbols within the group, while they obtain different content through different media. During the process of memory formation, there are also obstacles. Due to the generation gap and the distance between poverty alleviation and the daily lives of urban youth, there is a lack of convertible materials for constructing memories. Therefore, many young people have biases and ambiguity in their understanding of this policy.
