The 9th issue of "Qiushi" magazine published on May 1 published an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, "Inspire Youths to Hold on to Responsible in Chinese-style Modernization Construction."

The article emphasizes that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party’s youth work has made significant achievements and profound changes. The Party’s leadership over the Communist Youth League and youth work has been comprehensively strengthened. The foundation and political soul of the League’s work have become stronger. The direction and tasks of the Communist Youth League’s work have become clearer. The political nature, advanced nature and mass nature of the League organizations have become more distinct. The ideological style, work style and life style of the League cadres are more positive, healthy and upward, and their image among the vast number of young people has been completely renewed. Focusing on major tasks such as building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development, the Communist Youth League organized the majority of League members and young people to actively participate, shoulder heavy responsibilities, and take the lead, demonstrating the courage and responsibility of Chinese youth in the new era. The Party Central Committee fully trusts and high hopes for the Communist Youth League and the vast number of young people!

The article points out that the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and Youth League organizations at all levels must truly shoulder the mission and tasks entrusted by the Party in the new era and new journey. We must firmly grasp the theme of the Chinese youth movement in the new era. Taking the Party’s central tasks as the theme and direction of the Chinese youth movement and youth work has been a basic experience in the Chinese youth movement and youth work over the past 100 years. The Communist Youth League must carry out its work closely around the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to determine the Party’s central tasks in the new era and new journey. We must unite, organize and mobilize young people as much as possible, inspire the vast number of young people to enhance their sense of historical responsibility and mission, inspire my youthful passion to have a strong country, and be a vanguard and commando in the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

The article points out that we must focus on strengthening political guidance for the vast number of young people. Only when young people have ideals, dare to take responsibility, be able to endure hardships and are willing to fight, can Chinese youth have strength and the development of the cause of the Party and the country be full of hope. We must strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs for young people, firmly follow the Party’s political beliefs, and establish correct life goals in the historical trend of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. The Communist Youth League is a political school that promotes the healthy growth of young people, and political nature is the first attribute of the Communist Youth League. We must put strengthening political leadership for the majority of League members and young people first, strive to cultivate socialist builders and successors, and continuously deliver healthy and vibrant fresh blood to the Party. We must guide League members and young people to carefully study and understand the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era, strive to master the world outlook and methodology of this scientific thought, be good at using the standpoints, viewpoints and methods that run through it, and improve their understanding of the Party’s basic theories, basic lines and basic strategies.

The article points out that we must fully inspire young people in the new era to take responsibility in Chinese-style modernization construction. Chinese-style modernization is the only correct path to building a strong country and national rejuvenation, and is an unprecedented pioneering undertaking. The Communist Youth League should adhere to the center and serve the overall situation, actively connect with major national strategies and major tasks, organize and mobilize young people to base themselves on their posts, actively participate in Chinese-style modernization construction, and strive to be the vanguard and new force in various fields and aspects of scientific and technological innovation, rural revitalization, green development, social services, and defending the country and guarding the border.

The article points out that it is necessary to comprehensively strengthen the construction of the Communist Youth League and the League cadre team. We must deepen the reform of the League, comprehensively and strictly manage the League and govern the League, unswervingly follow the path of development of mass organizations with Chinese characteristics, continuously maintain and enhance political, advanced and mass nature, and continuously improve the leadership, organizational and service capabilities of the League organizations. Adhere to the clear orientation of consolidating the grassroots level, continuously expand the coverage of the League organization, improve the work ability of young people, adhere to the linkage between the top and the bottom, and form an overall joint force for the entire League to grasp the grassroots level. The main responsibility of the Youth League cadres is to do youth work. They must constantly improve their political ability, theoretical literacy, and mass work skills, focus on their own work, and win the trust of the Party, social respect, and reputation of youth with their solid achievements.

The article points out that party committees (party groups) at all levels should adhere to the principle of the Party’s work of managing youth, establish and improve the work pattern in which all departments work together to manage youth development under the leadership of the Party, and support the Communist Youth League to carry out their work creatively. Leading cadres at all levels should devote their enthusiasm to being close friends and guides for young people.

The article emphasizes that the hope of the cause of the Party and the country is placed on young people. We hope that the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League will inherit and carry forward the fine traditions, adhere to reform and innovation, and better unite the young generation around the Party, and continue to strive for the great cause of promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
