【Introduction to this issue】

«When children grow up better, it is our greatest wish.» As a «big friend» of children, Chinese President Xi Jinping has always cared about the health and development of adolescents and children. Whether writing reply letters to children or visiting schools in cities and towns to meet with teachers and students, Xi Jinping engages with them warmly and encourages them to become «pillars of the nation.» In the hearts of children, «Grandpa Xi» always sets an example, helping them fasten the «first button» of their lives and nurturing them from «little saplings» into «giants under the sky.» Today, China’s new era is recognized by the international community as a model for unlocking children’s potential and safeguarding their rights.

«The red sun rises, and its light is magnificent.» Ahead of International Children’s Day, «Xi’s Lecture» invites you to once again experience the heartwarming moments of «big friend» Xi Jinping’s meetings with young people and his sincere conversations with them.
