The power, surging and creation of youth have always been the great power to promote the Chinese nation to march forward courageously and stand erect among the nations of the world.

"The youth of our country should strengthen their ideals and beliefs, cultivate noble character, develop excellent skills, be brave in innovation and creation, be determined to work hard, and work together with hundreds of millions of people to compose the song of youth in the new era." In the mind of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the youth ideal, youth vitality, and youth struggle are the vitality of the Chinese spirit and strength.

Deeply entrust and sincerely hope to light the beacon and guide the journey for the youth on the road of struggle. Young people in the new era should bear in mind the earnest teachings of the General Secretary, live up to their youth, the times and the people, and strive to promote youth and realize their dreams.

   Pursue youth ideal——

"It is very important to establish correct ideals and firm beliefs in youth. We should not only establish them, but also take root in our hearts."

Youth is the soul of the country. Young people have lofty ideals and firm convictions, which are the driving force for a country and a nation to advance invincibly.

On March 18, 2024, with the continuous spring rain, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Hunan First Normal University (Chengnan Academy Campus) for investigation. Since modern times, a group of proletarian revolutionaries and famous teachers of the older generation have been cultivated here. A large number of progressive young people, such as Mao Zedong, have set their aspirations to serve the country and devote themselves to the times.

A group of sculptures of human figures reproduce the "young students in their prime; the scholar is full of vigor and elegance". Looking back at the history, the General Secretary said: "The purpose of the school is not only to improve the cultural quality of students, but also to guide students to aspire to serve the country."

Li Jie, a junior student of the School of Mathematics and Statistics, reported her learning experience to the General Secretary. Li Jie, from the mountainous area of western Hunan, was an excellent teacher who graduated from Hunan First Normal University when he was a primary school student in his hometown. He decided to "become a teacher when he grows up" and "cherish youth, live up to his youth, and strive to be a great teacher in the new era."

Over the past 10 years, more than 20000 rural public funded normal school students have set out from here to go deep into the mountains and work in the education arena.

"Now, the world is in a great change that has not happened in a century. China is comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization, and it is the right time for contemporary young students." The words of the General Secretary's earnest words echoed in the hearts of young students for a long time.

The fiery youth needs firm ideals and beliefs; Youth's struggle needs the guidance of scientific theory.

When young Xi Jinping went to the countryside, he read Capital three times under the kerosene lamp in the cave, wrote many notes and read several different versions. When communicating with young students of Peking University, General Secretary Xi Jinping told us his reading experience in those years: "At that time, I read some works of Marxism Leninism. At the age of 15, I have already had the ability of independent thinking. Through constant reexamination in the process of reading, I have reached the negation of negation and learned from the past. I gradually feel that Marxism is indeed the truth, the leadership of the Communist Party of China is indeed the choice of the people, the choice of history, and the socialist road we are taking is indeed an inevitable path. The conclusion drawn through self thinking and understanding will be firm. "

If you have faith, you can go far.

In August 2023, Cai Xuewen, a doctoral candidate from the School of Marxism of Fudan University and leader of the volunteer service team of the Communist Manifesto exhibition hall, completed his 100th lecture. "It's also a small achievement." Cai Xuewen said that the volunteer service team has expanded from more than 30 people at the beginning to more than 70 people, including young teachers, doctoral students, and so on. While learning, researching, and preaching, we deepen our understanding of ideals, beliefs, and struggles in the process of explanation.

Over the years, theoretical explanations have been brought from inside the venue to outside the venue, from inside the campus to outside the campus, from offline to online, and in a variety of forms, such as "the map of the original journey" card punching, film party lessons, "red bus" research and practice line, so that more people can realize the sweetness of truth.

"It is very important to establish correct ideals and firm beliefs in youth. We should not only establish them, but also take root in our hearts, and be able to work hard for them all our lives. Such aspiring youth, thousands of such aspiring youth, are exactly what the Party, the country and the people need." The General Secretary's earnest words carry the deepest love.

Su Yiming, who was determined to represent his country in the Winter Olympics when he was a teenager, will carry out seven or eight hours of high-intensity snow training on almost every training day. "I don't know how many times we have failed before we can unlock a new action". Jump, soar, flip... Su Yiming finally won the gold medal in the men's big jump of snowboarding at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

"Born in a great country and grew up in the best era", Su Yiming wrote a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping after the game, reporting on the struggle of hard training, self breakthrough and dream realization. Soon, he received a reply from the General Secretary.

"I hope you are deeply attached to the motherland, ambitious, down-to-earth, create a wonderful life in the struggle, and contribute youth and strength to the motherland and the people." Su Yiming read the reply letter again and again. He said, "When you were young, you wore a red scarf, and when you grew up, you wore a five-star red flag. You can try to fight for a piece of what you love in your heart. It is a gift to our young people in this era!

Paper is short and love is long, hope is limitless.

The majority of young people have forged a solid foundation and political spirit of listening to the Party's words and following the Party in the mighty current of the times, firmly followed the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the political direction of unremitting struggle for the lofty ideal of communism, filled youth with the power of truth, and let truth burst out stronger strength in the struggle of youth.

   Release youth and vitality——

"Dare to be the first, dare to make breakthroughs, contribute to the country with intelligence, and serve the society with pioneering spirit"

Young people are the most energetic and creative group in the whole society.

In the converter workshop of Hanbao Steelmaking Plant of Hangang Group, the furnace fire is blazing and the molten steel is rolling. Tang Xiaoyu, deputy director of converter workshop, came to the converter console to track the production, and told colleagues to control the indicators such as oxygen in the converter and tapping temperature.

From his dream of "becoming the best steelmaker in the whole plant", to winning the world-class skill award, to being elected as the representative of the 20th CPC National Congress, Tang Xiaoyu pursued his dream in the steelmaking plant. He constantly explored and innovated the smelting process, saved costs and increased efficiency for the enterprise, and grew from a charging worker to a technical leader. Tang Xiaoyu won the championship of the professional group in the final of the 12th World Simulation Steelmaking Challenge.

"General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the spirit of craftsmanship of striving for perfection should be carried forward in the whole society, which has encouraged the majority of young people to take the road of becoming talents with skills and serving the country with skills." Tang Xiaoyu was confident.

"The sky is vast, and exploration is endless. Only through continuous innovation can the Chinese nation move towards a better future." General Secretary Xi Jinping's expectation of striving to build a space power and a world science and technology power has inspired a large number of young people to shine with youthful brilliance on their journey to space.

"At the age of 6, the child who was lying on the hillside herding cattle" Mu Xing "really realized his dream at the age of 36!"

As the first load expert to carry out manned flight missions in China, the post-85 astronaut Gui Haichao has trained hard and experienced many examinations, and has developed excellent skills: during the swivel chair training, he first sweated, felt sick, and felt dizzy, and then practiced "spinning on the ground" for 20 minutes every day, with one hand holding the other ear and rotating on the ground, and finally achieved the first level of training results; After repeated underwater practice for four or five hours, his clothes were soaked, even his gloves were sweaty, and he felt "unable to hold chopsticks"... On April 18, 2024, Gui Haichao was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Astronaut". His inspirational stories annotated the power of daring to break through, and stimulated the spirit of young people in the new era.

In a "dialogue between heaven and earth", hundreds of millions of people witnessed the broad future of China's scientific and technological innovation.

On June 23, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and spoke cordially with the astronauts of Shenzhou XII. The post-80s and post-90s generation who escorted the dialogue also became popular. At the Central Talent Working Conference held a few months later, the General Secretary mentioned this detail - "Most of them are young people, in their 30s and 40s, but they are all responsible for important positions."

Sun Zezhou, who grew up with the lunar exploration project, was appointed as the deputy chief designer of Chang'e-1 satellite at the age of 34, and the chief designer of Chang'e-3 probe system at the age of 38. When the third phase of the lunar exploration project was officially approved, 34 year old Zhang Gao was appointed as the deputy commander in chief of the Chang'e-5 probe. At the same time, four top young talents under 40 also took the post of deputy chief designer of Chang'e-5 probe

Young people are always new, most enthusiastic and motivated to innovate.

On the first day of the 2024 New Year, with a loud whistle, the first domestic large cruise ship "Ida Mordor" set sail from Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Port, opening its first commercial voyage. Behind this, the young team of large cruise project design of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. of China Shipbuilding Group can not be separated from their silent efforts.

The number of parts and components of the cruise ship reached 25 million, which is 5 times that of the C919 aircraft and 13 times that of the "Fuxing" high-speed railway. From "crossing the river by feeling the stones" to learning, absorbing and re creating, the youth team witnessed the transformation of drawings into a white giant ship more than 300 meters long and 70 meters high, marking the footprints of transformation and upgrading of manufacturing in big countries, and climbing higher and higher.

On many occasions, General Secretary Xi Jinping has encouraged and supported young people to be brave in innovation and creation, pointing out the direction for young people to seize opportunities and shoulder missions——

"We must have the will to forge ahead and forge ahead in order to innovate and create."

"Study hard, be down-to-earth, forge ahead, show talent in innovation and entrepreneurship, and serve the society".

"We should be brave to innovate, deeply understand and grasp the trend of the times and the needs of the country, dare to be the first, dare to make breakthroughs, contribute to the country with intelligence, and serve the society with pioneering spirit."

Wang Mengqi, a post-90s associate researcher in the Key Laboratory of Micro Magnetic Resonance, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is testing the core device of quantum precision measurement - diamond sensor. The millimeter sized chip was carefully placed on the test bench, and the electronic data gently jumped, "Pass, performance qualified!"

Many years ago, many related high-end quantum instruments needed to be purchased because they did not master the preparation process chain. Under the leadership of Academician Du Jiangfeng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a team composed of young students started from scratch, tackling key problems independently and making their own products. It took three years for Wang Mengqi and his team to make domestic diamond sensors from scratch. Mastered the whole chain manufacturing process of diamond sensor, developed the first "pulse type electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer" in China, and developed the first "quantum diamond atomic force microscope" in the world, which solved the international problem of "insufficient precision of color center manufacturing of traditional technology"... One goal was achieved in this laboratory.

"We should look at youth's innovation and creation with appreciation and approval, actively support them to excel in life, and praise and applaud youth's achievements and achievements". Under the care and encouragement of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Chinese youth in the new era dare to be pioneers rather than passers-by and spectators, so that innovation becomes the driving force of youth voyage, entrepreneurship becomes the energy of youth struggle, and youth shines brightly in the dedication to the country and the people.

   Devote youth without regret——

"Let the flower of youth blossom in the place where the motherland needs most, and write a wonderful life in the great practice of realizing the Chinese Dream"

Seed selection, fertilizer weighing, farmland cultivation, sowing... Since the middle of April, Shaye, a doctoral student of the 2020 plant nutrition major of China Agricultural University, and his younger brothers and sisters have been sowing corn in Jilin Lishu Academy of Science and Technology in a hurry during the agricultural season. This is Shaye's seventh year in the yard, and his field work is very rich. "This year, more than 60 corn varieties were added to the yard for screening and identification, and the local demonstration cooperatives were provided with barren and high-yielding varieties and microbial agents for free."

On the eve of the May 4th Youth Day in 2023, Shaye and his classmates received a special reply signed "Xi Jinping". In the letter, the General Secretary said: "I am very pleased to learn that everyone has gone deep into the fields and villages through the small science and technology courtyard set up by the school, and has solved the people's livelihood and knowledge in serving the rural revitalization.". They read it over and over again and carefully wrote down the earnest instruction of the General Secretary: "Young people should 'ask for hardship', which is well said. Chinese youth in the new era should have this spirit".

At present, the model of small science and technology academies has been popularized in many places throughout the country. Teachers and students of the small science and technology academies have built laboratories on the fields, used the land as the blackboard, used crops as teaching materials, built laboratories on the ridges of the fields, and written papers on the land of the motherland.

Good girls are ambitious, and those who are ambitious will struggle without regret.

In the front line of the factory, young workers practice their skills and keep improving, screw every screw and weld every joint, strive to be "young post experts", and let "Made in China" go to the world;

Deep in the desert, young desertification control workers use science and technology to increase the efficiency of desertification control and afforestation, and continue to write the green legend of "sandstorm changes scenery, yellow sand becomes gold";

In the streets and alleys of the city, the delivery boys and takeaways come and go in the wind and rain, delivering happiness and warmth to thousands of families;

  ……

"Go to the grassroots and the people to make contributions, let the flower of youth bloom in the place where the motherland needs most, and write a wonderful life in the great practice of realizing the Chinese Dream." The affectionate message is full of the sincere feelings of the General Secretary.

In youth, if you choose to bear hardships, you will choose to gain; if you choose to give, you will choose to be noble.

"Three, two, one, assault!" A practical anti-terrorism drill is being carried out in the "Falcon Commando" training ground. In the smoke of gunpowder, a combat team quickly approached the mission area through ladders, steel cables, etc. The team members cooperated tacitly, launched attacks from multiple points, and successfully completed the drilling task.

"Falcon Commando" is a national anti-terrorism fist force. In April 2014, President Xi Jinping personally presented the flag to this force and made important instructions. In the past 10 years, the unit has kept in mind the commander's instructions, faithfully performed its duties and responsibilities, excellently completed a series of tasks such as anti-terrorism and stability maintenance, joint performance and training, and security for major events, and won more than 20 championships in the international special forces competition.

"I still remember clearly the scene when the flag was presented to you 10 years ago. I am very happy to learn that you have firmly raised the flag and forged your soul, worked hard in special combat skills, and completed the task well." Recently, President Xi wrote back to all members of the Falcon Commandos, encouraging them to work hard to forge a world-class anti-terrorism special combat force, Be ready to make new contributions to the Party and the people.

President Xi's affectionate love and earnest entrustment greatly encouraged all members of the Falcon Commando. Zhou Kun, the leader of the Falcon Commando, said, "Over the past 10 years, we have always followed the direction of President Xi's guidance, aimed at the forefront of the development of special operations, and carried out extreme combat training. The overall level of troop construction has continued to rise. We will live up to the expectations of the commander, focus on the anti-terrorism and stability maintenance functions, and strengthen new combat skills, and strive to forge a counter-terrorism fist force that is particularly strong politically and militarily.

"Only youth with passionate struggle, youth with indomitable struggle and youth with dedication to the people will leave rich, warm, lasting and regretless youth memories". The words of General Secretary Xi Jinping stirred the hearts of young people.

Huang Wenxiu, less than 30 years old, gave up the job opportunity in a big city, volunteered to take root in the mountains, started the "Long March in the Heart", and wrote a song of youth without regret; The fire is urgent. The young forest firefighters in Muli, Sichuan, are desperate to stop the spread of the mountain fire with their youth loyalty, and fix their fighting heroism in the vast expanse of forest in Liangshan... The spirit is shown in the crisis, and the truth is shown at the critical moment. The Chinese youth in the new era show their due spirit and responsibility with practical actions.

This year marks the 105th anniversary of the May 4th Movement. Since the May 4th Movement, generations of Chinese youth have continued to struggle and march forward triumphantly, creating a youth China and a youth nation with youth.

"In the new era, Chinese youth should continue to carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, take the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their own responsibility, live up to the expectations of the Party, the people, the great trust of the nation, and live up to our great era." General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a deep message.

"We are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any other time in history, and we have never been so close to it. You young people, who are in a great era, have such a great goal. When you are born, fight for it! Look at you!"

"Struggle is the most beautiful background of youth, and action is the most effective sharpening of youth." In the grand process of realizing Chinese modernization, the majority of young people will keep in mind the General Secretary's instructions, and will never slack off in the spirit, never stop the attitude of progress, so that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the struggle dream come true.
