Patriotism is the national heart and soul of the Chinese nation, and in cultivating socialist builders and successors, we must first cultivate the patriotic feelings of young people. Since the beginning of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has attached great importance to the patriotic education of young people, and has always focused on young people, the top priority of patriotic education, and promoted the patriotic education of young people to achieve remarkable results when leading the formulation of the Patriotic Education Law and the implementation outline of patriotic education in the new era. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) emphasized "innovating the organizational mechanism of patriotic education and various mass theme activities", and made important arrangements for strengthening patriotic education among young people. The important requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Party Central Committee are full of the high hopes of the party leaders for the healthy growth of the young generation, and the strategic considerations of our party for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the passing on of the red country from generation to generation, and point out the direction and provide fundamental guidance for the patriotic education of young people in the new era and new journey.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "in contemporary China, the essence of patriotism is to adhere to the high degree of unity of patriotism, love for the party and love for socialism", and it is necessary to "implement the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people, cultivate the feelings of loving the party, the country, the people and socialism, and strive to cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor". Looking back at the 100-year history of the party, we can clearly see that since its founding, the CPC has always regarded seeking happiness for the Chinese people and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its original mission, and through a century of struggle, it has fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people and opened up the correct path for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History has eloquently proved that our party is the most staunch promoter and practitioner of the spirit of patriotism, and only by persisting in the unity of loving the country with loving the party and socialism can patriotism be fresh and true. To strengthen education in patriotism, we must first guide young people to plant the seeds of loving the party, the country, and socialism in the depths of their hearts, and unswervingly listen to and follow the party.
From September 2023 to February 2024, a theme education on the theme of League members and young people learning and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era was enthusiastically launched in more than 3.9 million grassroots Youth League branches. In the conference room of the government unit, the youth theoretical study group exchanged learning experiences around "Selected Readings of Xi Jinping's Works"; In the social practice class of colleges and universities, college students followed the footprints recorded in "Xi Jinping and College Students" to conduct research and search; In the reading room of the enterprise workshop, young workers had a heated discussion on the development of new quality productivity...... The majority of League members and young people have deeply studied the important works of General Secretary Xi Jinping in combination with their own study, work and life realities, and deeply felt the leadership style of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the helm and the truth power of the party's innovative theories.
Since the beginning of the new era, the Communist Youth League, as a political school to promote the healthy growth of young people, has always put deepening theoretical arming and strengthening political guidance in the first place, promoted the implementation of the training project for young Marxists, innovated the construction of the Communist Youth League's "big ideological and political courses", and relied on grassroots Youth League branches to carry out a variety of educational activities such as theme group days, study exchanges, and visits and practices. By strengthening theoretical arming and political guidance, the majority of young people have been tempered by youth dialogues, deeply felt their historical responsibilities and the mission of the times, and constantly strengthened their belief in Marxism, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and confidence in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On the new journey, the Communist Youth League will focus on consolidating and expanding the achievements of the theme education of its members and youth, establish and improve a long-term mechanism of casting the soul with learning, increasing wisdom with learning, promoting the right style with learning, and promoting cadres with learning, leading young people to deeply study and understand the party's innovative theories, correctly grasp the essence of the high unity of patriotism, love for the party and socialism, and strive to be good young people in the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, and are willing to struggle, and strive to run a youth relay race that unites and struggles for the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.
