On April 21, the State Council Information Office released the white paper "Chinese Youth in the New Era".
This is the first white paper devoted to youth in the history of New China.
Relying on the youth development statistical monitoring system led by the National Bureau of Statistics, it plays the role of an expert think tank for medium and long-term youth development planning, and integrates research results such as the youth development statistical monitoring report, the youth development statistical yearbook, and the youth development blue book, as well as a large number of research results from the organizations affiliated to the Communist Youth League. , which objectively presents the great achievements of Chinese youth development since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and outlines the mainstream group portraits of Chinese youth in the new era.
He Junke, the first secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Youth League, outlined the characteristics of contemporary youth presented in the white paper at the press conference of the State Council Information Office.
From the perspective of the growth environment, they were born in the best period of the development of the Chinese nation, and they are ushering in a rare life opportunity to make contributions and make a career.
From the perspective of development achievements, they have tempered their skills in the struggle and increased their talents through tempering, showing the ability and literacy that is worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation.
From the perspective of their responsibility, they show a youthful demeanor that is not afraid of hardships and difficulties.
From the perspective of human feelings, their "going out" path is getting wider and wider, the "circle of friends" for communication and cooperation is getting bigger and bigger, and they are more open and confident to integrate into the world, showing a broad vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
"The leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system are the fundamental reasons for the historic achievements of China's youth development and the fundamental support for continued development," said He Junke.
Today, the state has the ability to provide more material support for the development of youth; contemporary youth have rich and colorful spiritual and cultural life; the health of youth is improving; my country's higher education has entered the early stage of popularization, and the level of youth education has been greatly improved; youth employment opportunities are more abundant and diverse.
Of course, young people are also confused.
They will say that they want to "lie down" and advertise themselves as "Buddha".
He Junke said that, in fact, there are very few who really "lie down", and the majority who work tirelessly.
"In recent years, we have conducted many surveys on the spiritual literacy of contemporary young people. The mainstream view of contemporary young people is still that they believe that success can only be achieved through personal hard work, and the vast majority of young people are optimistic about the future. ." He Junke knew that the "lying flat" and "Buddha" in the oral language of young people are more of a ridicule and emotional expression to relieve stress.
However, behind these words, it does reflect deep-seated problems.
Under the unique demographic structure of our country and the relatively fierce competition for talents, the pressure of work, study and life faced by contemporary young people is huge and realistic.
When faced with a major decision in life, young people show confusion and confusion. Sometimes they lose their sense of direction and feel unable to exert their strength. This phenomenon has existed more or less in the past.
In recent years, the state has intensified its policy to solve the problems of youth education, employment, marriage and love, and child rearing, helping the youth to solve their urgent problems.
"We also expect the whole society to pay more attention to and care for the psychological growth and spiritual literacy of teenagers." He Junke said that indeed a small number of teenagers have been in negative emotions for a long time, and affected by various reasons, they lack the spirit of struggle and family and social responsibility. , Some escape reality, fantasy can easily achieve career.
"Happiness comes from struggle, and struggle itself is a kind of happiness. General Secretary Xi Jinping's message to young people's life motto, we should all appreciate it."
He Junke said that in the face of profound changes in the main contradictions of our society in the new era, and in the face of great changes unseen in the world in a century, there are many new situations and new contradictions in the field of youth development in our country, and all strata and groups are facing many "urgent difficulties and worries". The problem needs to be solved, and all aspects of society need to be concerned, understood, and supported.
"We will be based on the actual development and basic national conditions, based on the overall and long-term interests of the Chinese nation, fully understand the key strategic role of the youth, and continue to increase policy support in various fields, so that the youth can burst forth in the great process of national rejuvenation. Multi-talented and contribute more strength." He Junke emphasized.
