Times: Let the "youth of me" bloom on the front line of the fight against the epidemic

Recently, a new round of COVID-19 has touched our hearts. At the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, the "post-90s" and "post-00s" who once hid behind their parents have grown into adults, they have put on their battle robes to become fearless warriors, and taking off their masks are still eternal children in the eyes of their parents. The childish face, the resolute back, and the sonorous pace tell the sonorous oath of contemporary youth to "be fortunate to be born in the era of a strong country, and even more to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a strong country".

At the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply praised the youth, "The young generation is not afraid of hardship, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, with their arms to shoulder the responsibility of the mountains, showing the exuberant style of youth, showing the hope of the Chinese nation!" These words show that under the baptism of the great anti-epidemic spirit, contemporary Chinese youth are more politically firm and pure, more confident and sober in spirit, more broad and thick in feelings, more solid and strong in skills, and more tough and courageous in style. Under the leadership of the party, the young generation has been infected by the lofty ambition and pride of "daring to overcome all difficulties without being overwhelmed by any difficulties," and their awareness of struggle, the spirit of struggle, and the ability to fight have been greatly stimulated, greatly promoted, and greatly enhanced.

Establish a lofty ambition early and be a young man of the times who "has a big heart". General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "young people's lofty ideals and firm convictions are the indestructible driving force for a country and a nation." Behind the scorching sun, masks and goggles, there are white-clad soldiers facing the disease, people's policemen guarding the city, volunteer pioneers sweating like rain, conscientious community cadres, isolation points, buildings, streets, nucleic acid sampling areas... Wherever there is a need, there is a Great Wall forged by youth. No matter the day or night, no matter the scorching sun, no matter the honor and reward, the desire of the heart is the desire of youth. Contemporary young people should establish the lofty pursuit of "giving up the small family to take care of everyone, and giving up the small self for the big self"; they should stand up, stand up, and accomplish things at critical junctures such as the war epidemic, the war flood, and the war against poverty; consciously integrate their personal aspirations and choices into the party's cause, the prosperity of the country, and the future of the nation; and run out of the "acceleration" of youth in the pursuit of realizing the Chinese dream. At the same time, it is even more necessary to combine "making great aspirations" with "doing small things", grasp every day, do everything well, take every step well, pay attention to actual achievements, tell the truth, do practical things, seek practical results, and chase the dream of youth in their own posts.

Practice real kung fu and be a young man of the times who "tempers himself". Dreams start from learning, and careers are achieved by skill. In the face of a new round of the epidemic, new concepts, new technologies, and new products such as big data flow adjustment, electronic door magnets, and "single + mixed" nucleic acid testing have appeared "blessing", making monitoring and early warning more sensitive, flow tracing more intelligent, nucleic acid testing more efficient, medical treatment more accurate, and everything more stable, powerful and orderly. Young people have strong learning, innovation and adaptability, and coordinate the normalization of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, so that young people can have great potential and great achievements. Contemporary young people should cherish the time like gold and work tirelessly, be eager to study, diligently, be good at learning, study widely, and study diligently, combine "reading thousands of books" with "walking thousands of miles," combine "seeking knowledge from study" with "seeking truth and seeking truth," be good at seizing opportunities in social development, walk in the forefront of technological change, take the initiative in international competition, and contribute their youthful wisdom to the realization of high-quality development, building a strong country with science and technology, and improving the ability and level of governance.

Thickly rooted in the people's feelings, do "I will have no self" of the youth of the times. Only by struggling with the people can youth be bright; only by advancing with the people can youth be exalted; and only by dreaming with the people can youth have no regrets. In this round of epidemic prevention and control, when asked why young people choose to volunteer in the community, they said, "Grandparents don't use smart phones, I can help them call up health codes and query trip information here" "There are many children who need to do nucleic acid sampling, and there will be potential risks in running around, I can take care of them here" "There are residents with inconvenient legs and feet in the community, I can help them to provide door-to-door services, deliver things, buy and buy vegetables." These young people gave up the summer vacation to enjoy "air conditioning, wifi, watermelon" at home, and chose to serve the masses around them, which is a seemingly trivial matter, reflecting the "great ambition" of Chinese youth to hang on to the "happiness of all families" and fall into action. Contemporary young people, especially young party members and young cadres, must always bear in mind "who I am, for whom I am, and on whom I rely," move the work of linking up with the masses and serving the masses to the fields and into thousands of households, accurately grasp the pulse of the masses, understand the expectations of the masses, get close to the hearts of the masses, and be "young servants" who are assured of the organization and satisfied by the people.

When iron and stone strike, there are sparks; water and air stir, and they grow rainbows. In the fiery practice of fighting the epidemic, contemporary young people will certainly go through thousands of hardships, thousands of hammers and thousands of hardships, thousands of hardships, and thousands of blows, cultivate the "iron footboard" that is determined to move forward, the "broad shoulders" that benefit the people, and the "big heart" that is not afraid of wind and rain, and then ring the bell of the years with rock-like faith, pluck the strings of the times with a lofty posture, find the youthful resonance of time and space in practice, and write the youth chapter of Kunpeng hitting the waves in practical work.
