During Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2018， Chairman Xi Jinping presented that China had made great achievements because of the 40-year reform and opening-up， which deeply influenced millennial college studentslife.

Firstly， not only has the 40-year reform and opening-up promoted the rapid development of economy， but also it has created better living conditions for contemporary college students. They not only havent the trouble of hunger， but also have varieties of nutritious meals and delicious snacks to choose in the university dining hall. Major universities provide them with better dormitory conditions. Most of eight-person dorms are replaced by six-person dorms or four-person dorms with learning table ， WiFi， washing machines and even air-conditioners. Nowadays they go to the university by their private car or high-speed train not just by bus and almost each college student has a cell phone. On the contrary， some college students only had beepers in the 1990s and they had to answer the phone by public telephones.

Secondly， the 40-year reform and opening-up has improved Chinese technology and provided better study environment and more information sources for contemporary college students. They can search for knowledge in the library which has thousands of books and they can also learn knowledge in the multimedia classrooms where they can learn from PPT or videos on the electronic screen. In addition to face and face communicating with teachers in class， WeChat and other softwares can also be used to contact with teachers after class Most universities also arrange lots of funny club activities and innovation and enterprise training programs for college students in order to meet the diversified development of contemporary college students.

Thirdly， the 40-year reform and opening-up has brought the internet era， which has changed the studying and living styles of contemporary college students. The students who like trying new things are good at studying by cell phone and computers as well as communicating with friends or families by wechat or qq. They like convenient lives， therefore they are the main buyers of shopping online， which can provide all kinds of goods for them. Meanwhile， they often book tickets and order food on the internet as well.

Just as a popular saying goes that every coin has two sides. Although the 40-years reform and opening-up has brought convenient life for college students， it has also given rise to some bad effects on them. For example， Some college students often spend too much time playing computer games online in class and not studying hard. Some of them often stay up to play games or watch videos by phone and sleep in class， which badly influenced their health and study. Some college students even cheat parents or friends to get money for shopping online.

As presented by Chairman Xi Jinping in Boao Forum 2018， China will keep performing the reform and opening-up policy and create the bright future with many countries in the world together， which will bring more job opportunities to the college students. Our government will continue taking many measures to encourage contemporary college students to innovate and start a business. In a word， today is a wonderful era and competitive era， so we ought to treasure our happy life and set up right outlook on life and value and keep studying hard to make our dream come true. Lets seize the valuableopportunity and strive for realizing our great Chinese dream！
