Youth is the hope and future of a political party, the country and the nation, the place where a political party, country and nation will always maintain its vigor and vitality, and the source of the sustainable development of a political party, country and nation. Party and state leaders have always attached importance to young people, paid attention to young people, cared for young people, and paid great attention to youth work, which is an important reason for the continuous development of the cause of young people in the party and the country. On July 1, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward ardent expectations for Chinese youth at the conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: "Chinese youth in the new era should take the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their own responsibility, enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of being Chinese, and live up to the times, Shaohua, and the ardent expectations of the party and the people"! This important instruction and care of General Secretary Xi Jinping highlights the responsibility of the times and the heavy historical responsibility that Chinese youth need to shoulder in the new era, and also points out the direction for The work of Chinese youth in the new era.

History and reality have proved that Chinese young college students have always walked in the forefront of the times, always loyal to the party and the people, always shouldered the responsibilities of the times and practiced the expectations of the party and the people, and become the vanguard force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the new era to better promote the work of young college students, let young college students better integrate into the great cause of the party and the country, integrate into the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, and better exert the strength of young college students, we must effectively implement the spirit of the important instructions made by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of young college students.

To enhance the ambition of young college students, in the final analysis, it is necessary to strengthen the ideals, beliefs, and missions of young college students. First of all, young college students must firmly stand on "listening to the party and following the party." The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. From the May Fourth Movement, the 12.9 Movement, and later the establishment of the Youth Commando, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Chinese youth have been constantly rejuvenated. Therefore, to enhance the ambition of young college students, we must always adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and arm ourselves with Marxism. Second, young college students must inherit the aspirations and responsibilities formed by the Chinese nation since the precipitation of many sages since ancient times. "Self-cultivation, unity of the family, governance of the country, and peace in the world", "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, continue to learn from the saints, and open up peace for all the worlds", "Thirty meritorious deeds and dust and earth, eight thousand miles of road clouds and moons", "the worries of the world before the world, and the happiness of the world after the world", these words that highlight the lofty righteousness and ambition of the world, all show the responsibility engraved in the bones of the Chinese and flowing in the blood of the Chinese, and young college students must inherit the excellent tradition and think that the country is for the people as the goal of lifelong struggle. Third, young college students must grasp the pulse of the times and integrate into the times. To enhance the ambition of young college students, it is necessary to strengthen educational guidance and exemplary guidance, so that young college students can understand the laws of the times, grasp the process of the times, integrate into the development of the times, breathe with the times, and share a common destiny. Finally, young college students must actively carry out practice, just as the Marxist epistemology and the principle of the concept of practice expounded, practice determines understanding, understanding is the opposite of practice, correct understanding promotes the development of practice, strengthens the ideals and beliefs of young college students, and must further broaden the channels for young college students to practice, so as to further grasp the unity of realizing social value and personal value.

To enhance the backbone of young college students, the most fundamental thing is to cultivate the pride of young college students and the courage to forge ahead. To strengthen the backbone of young college students, it is necessary to strengthen the backbone of the Chinese, strengthen the backbone of the party members of young college students, and strengthen the backbone of young researchers. "But to make the dragon city fly in, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain" "Life since ancient times who did not die, leave Dan heart to take care of sweat and youth", bone qi has become the background and gene of Chinese, more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization history is also a history of Chinese bones and bones.

To strengthen the backbone of young college students, it is first necessary to strengthen their backbone as Chinese. In the vast long river of history, a large number of representatives of backbone such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, and Zuo Zongtang have emerged, and these are the best historical materials for strengthening the backbone of young college students. In the history of revolution, construction, and reform under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Xia Minghan, Liu Hulan, and the workers of the "two bombs and one star" have also emerged, all of whom are the backbone of the country and the nation and the representatives of the iron backbone of the Chinese nation. Therefore, young college students must take the initiative to contact and study these biographies, and colleges and universities need to actively use materials to carry out education, thereby enhancing the backbone of young college students as Chinese.

Second, we must strengthen their backbone as a young college student party member. Party members have a pioneering and exemplary role, an exemplary and guiding role. Young college student party members are an important part of party members, and they are also some students who are more representative and have a higher comprehensive quality among young college students, and have a stronger guiding, exemplary, and guiding role among students. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the backbone of party members among young college students, and then give play to the exemplary role of young college student party members, so as to promote the strengthening of the backbone of young college students.

To enhance the confidence of young college students, it is necessary to comprehensively forge the comprehensive quality of young college students and enhance the strength and self-confidence of young college students. To enhance the confidence of young college students, it is necessary to carry out all-round exercises on the morality, intellectual, physical and aesthetic work of college students. Carry out ideological and political education to comprehensively enhance the personal morality and social morality of young college students; carry out scientific teaching activities to comprehensively enhance the scientific and cultural literacy of young college students; carry out physical education activities to enhance the physical fitness of young college students; carry out aesthetic education activities to comprehensively enhance the ability and quality of young college students to discover, appreciate, and create beauty; carry out labor education to comprehensively enhance the labor skills and love of young college students. Forging the comprehensive quality of young college students in an all-round way, and then comprehensively enhancing the comprehensive strength of young college students, so as to ensure that young college students are more and more confident.

Specifically, to enhance the self-confidence of young college students, we must first enhance the self-confidence of young college students at the macro level, that is, to strengthen the "four self-confidences". We must always be firm in our self-confidence in the road, and we must persist in the belief that we must persist in taking the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; we must strengthen our theoretical self-confidence, always believe in Marxism, and firmly believe that Marxism is the scientific world outlook and methodology that guides all our work; strengthen institutional self-confidence, and must always believe that the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has the advantage of concentrating forces to do great things; strengthen cultural self-confidence, and must always firmly believe in the five-thousand-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation. The red culture created by the people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China has strong vitality. Second, adhere to self-confidence at the micro level, that is, maintain self-confidence in the individual. On the basis of a clear understanding of their abilities in all aspects, young college students must have an objective understanding of their own abilities. On this basis, we should enhance the skills and abilities of young people, let young college students maintain self-confidence in the future, firmly believe that they can realize their personal value and social value, and devote themselves to the great practice of comprehensively building a modern socialist country with the self of youth and the self of struggle.

As a group of representatives of young people with strong professional ability, high creative ability, vitality and comprehensive comprehensive quality, young college students are of great significance to the future development of the party and the country. Therefore, we must always adhere to the requirement of "enhancing the ambition, backbone, and confidence of being a Chinese" emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping in his important speech on "July 1st", constantly strengthen the ideals and beliefs of young college students, cultivate the pride of young college students, and comprehensively enhance the comprehensive quality of young college students, and continuously draw strength from the five-thousand-year history of civilization, the revolution, construction and reform practice created by the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and Marxism, to ensure that college education can educate people for the party and the country, and also enable young college students to truly do it." The country has me, please rest assured by the party" firm commitment.
