When it comes to youth, you will think of a time full of passion and dreams.
Youth is a time of pure and beautiful concentration, and it is also the time that each of us misses and wants to keep the most.
In China's modern history, there is an unforgettable period of time, which has created a legend of an era with youthful enthusiasm and passionate fighting spirit.
This legend is the May Fourth Youth Day that we are familiar with.
On the occasion of the May Fourth Youth Day, let us pay tribute to those magnificent years in the name of youth, and explore the origin and historical significance of the May Fourth Youth Day!
1. The origin of May Fourth Youth Day
May Fourth Youth Day originated from the May Fourth Movement that broke out on May 4, 1919.
This movement was an epoch-making patriotic movement in China's modern history, and it marked the beginning of China's new democratic revolution.
In 1919, at the Paris Peace Conference after the end of World War I, China, as one of the victorious powers, should have enjoyed equal rights and interests.

However, the conference ignored China's just demands and transferred Germany's interests in Shandong directly to Japan.
When this news was transmitted back to China, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the broad masses of the Chinese people.
In particular, the young students, who had a high degree of patriotic consciousness at that time, were full of patriotic enthusiasm and took to the streets one after another, holding demonstrations, petitions, strikes, and other activities to demand that the government refuse to sign the "Paris Peace Treaty" and thus withdraw the corresponding rights and interests of our country, Shandong.

This movement, which was initially centered in Beijing, quickly spread across the country.
In the movement, young students played the role of the main force, and they used their youth and enthusiasm to write a magnificent chapter of the Chinese nation.
In order to commemorate this far-reaching patriotic movement, in 1939, the Northwest Youth Salvation Federation of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region designated May 4 as the Chinese Youth Day.
In December 1949, the State Council of the Central People's Government of China officially declared May 4 as Chinese Youth Day.
Since then, related events have been held on May 4 every year to commemorate the May Fourth Movement!

There was a major change in the balance of power between the European powers, with the rise of emerging imperialist countries such as the United States and Japan.
