People's Daily talked today: Let the flowers of the motherland thrive

"Contemporary Chinese children are not only experiencers and witnesses of the realization of the first centenary goal, but also a fresh force for realizing the second centenary goal and building a socialist modern power." On the occasion of the arrival of international children's day on June 1, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a message to the vast number of children and young people to study knowledge assiduously, strengthen ideals and beliefs, hone strong will, exercise strong physique, and always be ready to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The cultivation of children and adolescents is a strategic task that has a long-term bearing. General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the growth of children and young people. At the Beijing Children's Palace, it was emphasized that "it is our greatest wish for children to grow up better"; at the transitional resettlement site in the earthquake-stricken area of Ludian, Yunnan, holding the children's hands, stopping to watch their crayon drawings and wishing them a healthy growth; replying to the students of the Red Army Primary School in Zhaobeiliang, Shaanxi Province, encouraging them to "pass on the red gene from generation to generation with practical actions"... One heart-warming moment after another, one after another sincere advice, condensed the sincere care and ardent expectation for children and teenagers.

Children and young people are the flowers of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Building a socialist modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a relay race, and it is necessary for the vast number of children and young people to take up the baton of history and achieve good results in the future. Party committees and governments at all levels and the whole society must show concern for and care for children and young people, constantly create better conditions and environment for them to grow up, and let children thrive and grow up as national pillars that stand tall in the sky.
