Recently, in order to welcome the May 4th Youth Day, the first chorus of Communist Youth League members in Fuzhou, Fuzhou No. 11 Middle School Bamboo Choir, released the original song "Run! Youth" MV.

The song is composed by Zhang Weiwei, composed by Guo Chao and Xu Zhenying, and performed by the Bamboo Choir of Fuzhou No. 11 Middle School. In 2023, the song won the Best Campus Song Award in the 11th "China in Children's Voices" Children's Ballad Creation Competition in Jiangsu Province, and only 10 songs nationwide won the award.

The relevant person in charge of the choir introduced that the creation background of "Run! Youth" is deeply rooted in the rich campus culture and aesthetic education practice of Fuzhou No. 11 Middle School, which reflects the school running philosophy of the Fuzhou No. 11 Middle School and the school running philosophy of "beauty of every beauty, beauty of every beauty". The three main creators created stories about growth and pursuit of dreams from the perspective of campus, focusing on youth striving, youth pursuing dreams, and youth of beauty.

Xu Zhenying, the founder and permanent conductor of Zhuyin Chorus, and the vice principal of Fuzhou No. 11 Middle School, said that the inspiring words in the lyrics, such as "I want to climb the peak of my dream, meet the light, and let my faith take root", "cross the sea of people, cross the stars, and visit the beautiful life", are not only a eulogy of youth ideals, but also a spread of positive and enterprising spirit.
