Born in the prosperous world, brave to move forward

More than 100 years ago, 27-year-old Li Dazhao made countless young people's blood boil with an article "Youth". "With the youth of me, create the family of youth, the country of youth, the nation of youth, the human beings of youth, the earth of youth, the universe of youth..."

What a beautiful existence of the youthful self. In the history of the CPC's struggle over the past hundred years, countless young people have made meritorious contributions and made innumerable young heroes. When the Communist Party congress was held in 1921, Mao Zedong was 28 years old, which was the average age of 13 deputies. Wang Jicai was 26 years old when he first landed on Kaishan Island, the average age of the Chang'e team and the Shenzhou team was 33 years old, the average age of the Beidou team was 35 years old, and the average age of the pre-test team of the domestic large aircraft C919 was 30 years old...

The river of time flows endlessly, ushering in generations of new people, and also witnessing the different opportunities and opportunities of each generation. The youth of a hundred years ago faced the salvation and survival of the people; the youth of more than seventy years ago faced the construction of the country; the youth of more than forty years ago faced the reform and opening up... Every generation must fulfill its responsibilities for the people and be loyal to the country under the conditions of its own era.

But it's another relay race. In modern times, countless young people have been painstakingly exploring, and generations of people have struggled. No matter what era or region they are in, no matter what their academic qualifications are, whether they are rich or poor, what Chinese young people are running towards is the great goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is true of the youth of the past century or so, and it is true of today's youth. The Chinese dream is historical, realistic, and even more future.

Years have repeatedly told this truth -- what The Chinese youth are like, what China's future is like; how big the Chinese youth have ideals, how big China's dreams are; and how determined The Chinese youth are determined to move forward, China will never retreat.

There are countless role models ahead of China's youth, and each generation of young people will become the role models of future generations. If the ancestors can build a new China, the younger generations will be able to realize the dream of a rich country and a strong country; if the ancestors can charge into the battlefield in the rain of bullets and bullets, the younger generations will certainly be able to win the war without the smoke of gunfire. This is true in times of war, and it is also true in times of peace. Time and again, when the cause of the party and the country needs it, when the floods, the earth shakes, and the epidemic is raging, the "post-40s" and "post-50s" stand out, the "post-60s" and "post-70s" stand out, the "post-80s", "post-90s" and even "post-00s"... All stand up!

The times have never stopped coming out, and Chinese youth have never been afraid. It is always like this, "youth runs through the rainbow, courage and sharpness overshadow weakness, and enterprising overwhelms Gou An." The two words of struggle are written in the genes of every generation of Chinese youth.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that contemporary Chinese youth are a generation that walks in the same direction and advances together with the new era, and is born in a prosperous world and shoulders heavy responsibilities. The baton has been handed over to the young people of the new era, and we have an unshirkable responsibility to move forward.

The boat to the middle of the stray is more urgent, and the road to the middle of the mountain is steeper. Today, we are closer than ever to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but the difficulties and challenges we face are unprecedented. In the face of the great changes that have not occurred in a hundred years, in the face of the ideal shore that generations have dreamed of, Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and does not break the Loulan and will not return - this is the heroic courage that Chinese youth should have!

The new era has provided the vast number of young people with the opportunity to shine in life, provided the opportunity to make their dreams come true, and provided the opportunity to grow and progress together with the motherland and the times. How fortunate are the Chinese youth in the new era, backed by a powerful motherland, have a beautiful life, and we should live an incomparably wonderful life! The upward curve of the times should be the life trajectory of Chinese youth.

Standing at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years," a generation of young people set out in full gear, striving to protect the red country and mountains of the great motherland and create new achievements worthy of history and the people.

Let's run hard and forge ahead!
