This year’s “June 1st” International Children’s Day is approaching, and the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Young Pioneers was held in Beijing from May 27 to May 28. Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent a congratulatory letter, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, to express congratulations on the convening of the conference, extending sincere greetings to the members of the Young Pioneers, the leaders, and workers of the Young Pioneers, and wishing children nationwide a happy holiday.
Children and teenagers are the future of the motherland and the hope of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has shown deep concern and great expectations for children and teenagers, and has provided a series of important directives and comments for the work of children and the Young Pioneers, pointing out the direction for the development of children’s causes in the new era.
From the cry of “A strong youth means a strong nation” a hundred years ago, to the practice of “five educations in one”—virtue, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor—in the new era, the growth of generations of children and teenagers has always been in tune with the path of the nation and the fate of the people. When seeds of strong moral conviction, the power of innovative thinking, the spirit of physical effort, the soul of cultural cultivation, and the aspiration for pragmatic action take root and grow in the hearts of children, today’s youth will grow from “young saplings” into pillars of the nation capable of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.
