CCTV News (News Network): On the occasion of the May Fourth Youth Day, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to all the volunteer service teams of the border guarding and teaching in the Western Conference Plan of Xieyite Primary School in Halajun Township, Atush City, Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, to extend holiday congratulations to the young people across the country and to express their sincere expectations. The General Secretary’s reply was warm and inspiring, and aroused enthusiastic responses among the young people across the country. Everyone expressed that we must keep in mind the instructions of the General Secretary, strengthen our ideals and beliefs, cultivate our feelings for our country, develop strong skills, carry forward the spirit of struggle, shine and heat up where the motherland and the people need it most, and contribute our youthful strength to the Chinese-style modernization construction.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said in his reply that you responded to the call of the Party to teach and educate people in the western border areas, and played an active role in promoting the development of local education, promoting national unity and progress, promoting the prosperity of the border and enriching the people, and stabilizing the border, and strengthening the border, and have also gained experience and growth. After receiving the reply, the members of the volunteer service team of Xieyi Primary School’s border guarding and teaching in the Western Conference were greatly encouraged and strengthened their determination to take root in the west and serve the border.
Xiet Primary School is only 47 kilometers away from the border line and is mainly composed of Kirgiz students. Most of the more than 290 students are the children of border guards and farmers and herdsmen. In August 2022, Xieyi Primary School became the first local pilot school to provide volunteers with teaching in the Western Conference, and 23 team members were all "post-90s". Over the past three years, they have explored teaching methods according to local conditions, conducted more than 2,000 home visits, and also held scientific experimental classes and interest groups... Not long ago, the team members wrote a letter to the General Secretary for teaching by taking root in the "village primary school" in southern Xinjiang to report on their achievements and experiences of teaching.
Good children are determined by all directions, and those with ambition will fight without regrets. In his reply, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that in recent years, more and more young people have chosen to volunteer to serve in the west, villages, and grassroots level, and have made selfless contributions, demonstrating the uplifting spirit of Chinese youth in the new era and the responsibility of a strong country. During this May Day holiday, the reporter saw that in Jingning County, Gansu, volunteers formed a youth commando to seize the season and help fruit farmers carry out orchard management.
On May 4, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League held a symposium to study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech and reply. Over the past 20 years since the implementation of the Western Conference Plan, more than 500,000 college student volunteers have been recruited and dispatched to devote themselves to teaching, agriculture, and medical support. Everyone expressed that we must continue to work down-to-earth and work hard to let the most beautiful years shine in the hot land of the west.
From the vast rural areas to urban communities, from the front line of scientific research to the construction site of key project... The vast number of young people keep in mind the instructions of the General Secretary, take root at the grassroots level, strive to be the vanguard and new force, and hold on to the responsibility of Chinese-style modernization construction.
