The development of the Party and the people's cause cannot be separated from the hard work, dedication, ideals, and cause of generations of ambitious young people
The development of the Party and the people's cause cannot be separated from the hard work and dedication of generations of ambitious young people. Only when youth is highly compatible with the cause of the Party and the people, can the spectrum of youth be broader, and the energy of youth can be fully unleashed.
This passage comes from the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the celebration of the 100 anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Youth League on May 10, 2022.
Throughout the 5000 year history of Chinese civilization, it has always been a tradition of the Chinese nation for heroes to emerge young. As the most energetic and dynamic group, over the past 100 years, under the strong leadership of the CPC, generation after generation of Chinese youth have made great contributions to the struggle for national independence, the liberation of the people, and the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people. During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the vast number of young people were concerned about the fate of the nation, joined the revolutionary tide, charged into battle, and fought with blood; During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the vast number of young people have set the ambitious goal of "dedicating their youth to the motherland", striving for strength and hard work in the vast world; In the new era of reform and socialist modernization, young people from all walks of life bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities in various fields, contributing wisdom and strength to social progress, economic development, and people's livelihood improvement.
In the new era, the vast number of young people in China have lived up to their high expectations and demonstrated a confident, self strengthening, and energetic spirit. They have blossomed in various tracks such as technological innovation, Olympic competition, rural revitalization, and urban services. For example, in the construction of the Chinese space station, a team with an average age of less than 33 years old was responsible for the research and development of the Mengtian experimental module material management subsystem. As the "intelligent steward" of the space station, they ensured the work and life of astronauts in space by continuously improving their products; At the Beijing Winter Olympics, 17-year-old Su Yiming made a stunning breakthrough and became China's first snowboarding Winter Olympics champion. At the age of 21, Li Wenlong put in all his efforts to turn the sweat of day and night training into a shining silver medal; Jiang Lijuan, the Secretary of the Party Branch of Xiajiang Village in Zhejiang Province, has been leading the villagers in developing industries, homestays, tourism, and live streaming sales for seven years as a representative of young people who have returned to their hometowns to start their own businesses. With her perseverance, she has explored new paths for rural revitalization... These young people have vividly explained what "Chinese youth should look like in the new era" through hard work and practical responsibility.
Each generation has its own Long March, and each generation has its own responsibilities. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes that the vast number of young people must firmly listen to the Party's words, follow the Party, embrace their dreams while being down-to-earth, dare to think, dare to act, and do good deeds. Today, we have embarked on a new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the task of our first and second generations. Young people should strive to be the pioneers of the new era on this historical track to realize the national dream, actively integrate the pursuit of personal ideals into the cause of the party and the country, and go to Xintiandi in the new era to carry out their ambitions, make contributions, strive to be the dreamers of great ideals, and strive to be the new force of great cause, and strive to create a better China with youth wisdom and sweat!
