Ambition, backbone, confidence: the root, soul and source of Chinese youth in the new era

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in an important speech delivered at the meeting celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: "Chinese youth in the new era should take it as their duty to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, enhance their ambition, backbone and confidence to be Chinese, and live up to the times, Shaohua, and the ardent expectations of the party and the people!" "When the youth are prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when the youth are strong, the country is strong." At the celebration meeting, more than a thousand teenagers shouted out the strong voice of the times of "please rest assured that the party is assured, the strong country has me", which made people see the backbone of the nation and the hope of the country. To achieve the second centenary goal of the Chinese nation to comprehensively build a socialist modern power, Chinese youth in the new era are not only witnesses, but also participants, and enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of Chinese, which contain profound connotations.

Ambition is the "root" of youth

The ambition of young people is to have firm faith, lofty ideals, and people in their hearts. "Trees have no roots and do not grow, and people have no ambitions." Faith is a beacon on the road of life growth, guiding people to continue to move towards the goal. Young people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope. 100 years ago, a group of young people searched up and down to save the country and the people, fought against reality, broke with the old, broke through all difficulties, cut through thorns and thorns, and sacrificed their lives. What they have in mind is faith, the country, and the people. "In order to have the courage to sacrifice more, dare to teach the sun and the moon for a new day." After a hundred years of bloody struggle and unremitting self-improvement, the nation that was once a disaster-stricken nation and a country that lost power and humiliated the country once again resolutely stood in the forest of the world.

Chinese young people in the new era must have firm faith, follow the footsteps of generation after generation of aspiring young people, take the correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values as the guide, take the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their own responsibility, take the pursuit of the beautiful life that the people constantly yearn for as their goal, have the belief that "success does not have to be in me, success must have me", the ideal of "self-cultivation and family governance and peace in the world", the mind of "cultivating oneself to reassure the people", the integration of the small self into the big self, and the integration of personal ideals into the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Don't be a refined egoist, no struggle, no youth, go to the most difficult places, go to the places where the motherland needs it most, realize the value of life, achieve a career, and truly take on the heavy responsibility of the nation and the mission of rejuvenation!

Backbone is the "soul" of youth

The backbone of young people is to be good at distinguishing between right and wrong, to have national integrity, and to be the backbone of the country. "Man must not be proud, but he must not be proud." Only when young people have backbone can they win respect and have a soul that is not humble and unassuming. The backbone is Wen Tianxiang's national integrity of "whoever lives since ancient times has not died, and who has left his heart to take care of his sweat and youth"; it is Zhao Yiman's "he did not spare his head to make a new homeland, and he was willing to devote his blood to China" as if he were dead; it was Chen Yannian's "revolutionary who only stands and dies, never kneels" and would rather die than yield. Backbone is also the pursuit of scientist Qian Xuesen to "fight for the Chinese", the declaration that "the United States is not qualified to speak to China condescendingly" during the high-level strategic dialogue between China and the United States, and it is also the declaration of General Secretary Xi Jinping that "Chinese the people will never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress, and enslave Chinese us.

Today's world is in a major change unprecedented in a century, and the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has exacerbated the changes in the world pattern. The younger generation is linked to the future and hope of a country, and winning the youth wins the future. In the new era, Chinese young people must have the backbone of "nobility cannot be lascivious, the poor cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent"; they must correctly understand the general trend of the world and China's development, correctly understand Chinese characteristics and international comparisons, correctly understand the responsibilities and historical missions of the times, correctly understand their lofty ambitions and be down-to-earth, consciously resist the infiltration of Western ideology and all acts of opposition to subverting the country and splitting the country, have a clear understanding of the situation, distinguish between right and wrong, cultivate patriotic feelings, transform patriotism into reporting the national conditions, and take the posture of masters, builders, and successors. Face up to the difficult problems in reform and development, solve the problem of "stuck neck" in the development of science and technology, and truly become the backbone of the nation and the pillar of the country!

Confidence is the "source" of youth

The confidence of young people stems from Chinese civilization, from the leadership of the party, and from the prosperity and strength of the country. "Whoever wants to flow far away will dredge his fountain." The Chinese nation is a great nation in the world, with a long history of civilization of more than 5,000 years, and is the only civilization in the world that has not been interrupted. In the new era, Chinese youth are the descendants of Yan Huang, and the nourishing inheritance of China's excellent traditional culture has made them deeply rooted in the soil of national culture, flourishing and growing upwards, growing into towering trees that can support the backbone of the nation.

Over the past 100 years, the CPC has led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, to fight with blood, to rely on themselves, to forge ahead, to be upright and innovative, to achieve the goal of the first centenary struggle, to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way on the land of China, to solve the problem of absolute poverty in a historic way, and to march with vigor toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power. Behind the Chinese youth in the new era are the great Communist Party of China, a strong motherland, and the strong backing of 1.4 billion people. The beginning of a new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modern power requires the Chinese youth in the new era to not only establish lofty ideals, but also put their ideals into action, enhance the four self-confidences, accumulate profound knowledge, strive to blaze new trails, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with firm confidence!

Enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of the Chinese, and the layers of bone qi and confidence are progressive and mutually inclusive. In the new era, Chinese youth must first have the ambition to take the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their own responsibility, in order to cast the backbone of the Chinese nation, and eventually will certainly make the Chinese nation continue to develop civilization for more than 5,000 years and resolutely stand in the forest of the world's nations!
