Commentator from Qiushi Network: Striving to be a Good Child in the New Era with Comprehensive Development of Morality, Intelligence, Physical Fitness, Beauty, and Labor. Innovation | Dream | Qiushi
"Chinese children in the new era should be good children who have ambitions, dreams, love to study and work, are grateful and friendly, dare to innovate, dare to struggle, and develop in an all-round way morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and physically." On May 31st, on the occasion of the arrival of International Children's Day on June 1st, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Beijing Yuying School to visit teachers and students and congratulate the vast number of children across the country on the festival.
If the youth are strong, China will be strong. Children are the future of our country and the hope of the Chinese nation. Cultivating good children and adolescents is a strategic task that concerns the long-term.
From a young age, listen to the Party and follow it. The fundamental task of education is to cultivate moral character and cultivate socialist builders and successors with comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. The cultivation of students' ideals and beliefs, moral qualities, knowledge and intelligence, physical and psychological qualities, and other aspects is indispensable. We should guide parents, schools, and society to raise awareness and promote the comprehensive development of students. We need to strengthen education on revolutionary traditions, so that young children can remember the care of the Party, continue the red tradition, inherit the red genes, listen to and follow the Party from a young age, aspire to become qualified builders and reliable successors of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and contribute to the success of the Party and the country.
Improve health literacy. Adolescents are the golden period for improving health quality. At this stage, physical growth is the top priority. Only with good health can one lay a solid foundation for future lifelong learning and work. Physical exercise is the most effective way to enhance the physical fitness of young children. Now that living conditions are better, children don't want to eat chubby, but to grow strong and train well. Physical exercise should be started from a young age, with more physical exercise and less "chubby guy" and "little glasses". Schools should ensure that physical education teachers are fully equipped, and families, schools, and society should create conditions for enhancing the physical fitness of young children.
Establish a work ethic, cultivate work habits, and improve work abilities. Many knowledge and principles come from labor and life. To guide children to establish a labor concept from an early age, cultivate labor habits, improve labor ability, and facilitate their better learning of knowledge. The construction of ecological civilization in the new era should start from a child's perspective. Through lively labor experience courses, children can hands-on experience and self reflection, so that the concept of "green mountains and clear waters are like mountains of gold and silver" can be implanted into children's hearts early on. Education guides students to advocate and respect labor, understand the principles of labor being the most glorious, noble, great, and beautiful, and grow up to be able to work hard, honestly, and creatively.
From a young age, establish the ambition of "technological innovation and building a strong country with me". Learning hard is the primary task for young children, and mastering skills is an important foundation for their growth and success. Where does imagination and creativity come from? We should learn from hard work. The more knowledge one learns, the better. Children should learn knowledge like sponges absorb water. At present, technological innovation has become the main battlefield of international strategic games. Whoever holds the bull's nose in technological innovation and takes the first step in technological innovation well can seize the opportunity and gain an advantage. Children and adolescents should establish lofty aspirations from a young age, bravely become small scientists in the present, and strive to become big scientists in the future, contributing to the realization of China's high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
Children are the successors and future main forces of the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation. With the leadership of the CPC and the remarkable advantages of the socialist system, children of all ethnic groups living in the big family of the Chinese nation will be more and more happy and will have a better future.
