On the occasion of the May 4th Youth Day, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, extended holiday congratulations and sincere greetings to young people of all ethnic groups across the country!
       Xi Jinping pointed out that youth is brilliant through hard work, and life is sublimated through struggle. In the face of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic, young people of all ethnic groups across the country actively responded to the party's call and actively participated in the people's war, general war, and interception war to prevent and control the epidemic. They were not afraid of hardships, charged forward, and dedicated themselves with sincerity. They demonstrated the responsible spirit of contemporary Chinese youth and won high praise from the party and the people. I'm so proud of you!

       Xi Jinping emphasized that this year is the final year for the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the decisive battle against poverty. It is also the year when history converges to achieve the "two centenary goals". In the new era, Chinese youth must inherit and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th Movement, strengthen their ideals and beliefs, stand firm on the people's stand, develop excellent skills, devote themselves to the great cause of strengthening the country, always maintain a forward attitude of hard work, and fight bravely on the new Long March road to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation together with hundreds of millions of people.

       Xi Jinping pointed out that party committees and governments at all levels, leading cadres at all levels, and the entire society must care about the growth of young people and support the majority of young people in making achievements. The Communist Youth League must shoulder the glorious responsibilities entrusted by the party and unite and lead the youth members to make new and greater contributions to the development of the party and the country's cause in the new era.
