(A Closer Look at China) Why did Xi Jinping specifically mention the word "clear" when "talking heart to mind" with young people?

　　China News Service, Beijing, May 10 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) "Every year around May 4th, this time is reserved for young people", following the inspection of Renmin University of China on the eve of the May 4th Youth Day, and the same ideological and political class with young students Later, on May 10, Xi Jinping's time was again reserved for young people.

　　On the same day, a meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China was held. General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech, placing high expectations on contemporary youth.

　　"Youth are like small trees that thrive on the earth. One day they will grow into towering trees and hold up the sky." From local to central, Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to youth and youth work.

In this "heart-to-heart talk" with the youth, he mentioned a word twice - "clear".

　　"Clear love is only for China", Xi Jinping pointed out, this is the strongest voice from the hearts of contemporary Chinese youth.

　　This widely circulated saying comes from China's "post-00" martyr Chen Xiangrong.

In June 2020, he died while guarding the edge, under the age of 19 at the time.

This sentence left by him during his lifetime has become a true portrayal of the patriotism of contemporary Chinese youth.

In this year's New Year's message, Xi Jinping also mentioned this sentence.

　　In the eyes of observers, this sentence can precisely describe the history of the Chinese youth and the Communist Youth League over the past century - "The power of youth has always been the majestic force that drives the Chinese nation to move forward with courage."

For a hundred years, the Chinese Communist Youth League has united and led the majority of youth members to have a "clear love" for the motherland throughout.

　　The May 4th Movement with a patriotic background is precisely the young people who have become the vanguards of promoting social change in China.

During the period of the new democratic revolution, the youth were loyal and unswerving, and contributed their youth to the victory of the Chinese revolution.

During the period of socialist revolution and construction, young people took the initiative to take the initiative, shoulder heavy burdens, and contributed their youth to the construction of the motherland.

In the period of reform and opening up, young people bravely made reforms and contributed their youth to reform and opening up and socialist modernization.

Today, in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, young people have shouldered important responsibilities and contributed their youth to the historic achievements and historic changes of the party and the country...

　　As Xi Jinping said, times are different, and youth is in the same strain.

"The fate of young people has always been closely linked with the same generation."

　　The more you go forward and climb up, the more you must be good at drawing wisdom, boosting confidence, and adding strength from the road you have traveled.

Looking forward to China in the future, such "clear love" is still needed by the times.

　　In his speech, Xi Jinping quoted Mao Zedong's inscription for the establishment of the Northern Shaanxi Public School in 1937 to clarify this truth: "To cultivate a large number of people, these people are the vanguard of the revolution... These people do not seek personal gain, but only for the sake of the nation. And the liberation of society...If China has a large group of such vanguards, the tasks of the Chinese revolution can be solved smoothly."

　　Today, China also needs a large number of such pioneers, who carry "clear love" and work hard with the wisdom and sweat of youth to create a better China.

"The Party Central Committee earnestly hopes that the Communist Youth League can cultivate a large number of such pioneers," Xi said.

There is no doubt that in this process, the Communist Youth League has been placed high hopes.

　　"Clear" is a portrayal, but also a requirement.

Facing the cadres of the Communist Youth League, Xi Jinping put forward new hope in his speech: to have a clear mind and a strong mind, so that people can feel the clarity and purity that young cadres should have.

　　Xi Jinping once asked officials to "pursue a noble and pure ideological realm", but this time, the requirements for the Communist Youth League cadres emphasized "clearness" and focused on creating a healthy environment for the growth of young people from the very beginning, so that young people "detain well in life". The first button."

　　Such a request has its practical significance.

In recent years, the phenomenon of "bureaucratization of student unions" and "administration of student organizations" in China from time to time have shown that the bad atmosphere has the risk of infecting young people.

The Communist Youth League, as a group that directly and closely links with the youth, should use its own "clearness and purity" to guide the youth to establish a good outlook on life and values, and become a role model.

　　How to achieve "clear", in the eyes of observers, Xi Jinping also made a clear statement through his speech.

　　From the individual level, Xi Jinping once again promotes the pure value orientation to the youth - endure hardship first, enjoyment first, "willing to be a screw that will never rust".

At the same time, he is also a "portrait" for the outstanding Communist Youth League cadres - to be a youth friend, not a youth "official", more for the youth, less for himself; Be down-to-earth; be a person who is dedicated to the public, upright, and spotless.

　　From the organizational level, Xi Jinping also expressed hope to the Communist Youth League - insisting on educating people for the party, consciously taking responsibility, caring for the young people, and being brave in self-revolution.

"Only if the Communist Youth League has the courage to self-revolution, can it keep pace with the advancement of the times, youth development, and practical innovation."

　　In the light of past experiences, and from the perspective of the 100-year history of the Communist Party of China, these requirements are more focused on the future.

"The development of the cause of the party and the people requires the continuous struggle of Chinese Communists from generation to generation, and we must grasp the fundamental plan of having successors."

　　As the "successor" of the cause, whether the youth is "clear" or not is related to the future of China and the future of the Communist Party of China.

Do a good job in youth work and always be the "big one in the country".

As Xi Jinping said in his speech:

　　Young people are like the rising sun, constantly accumulating energy, and there will always be light and heat all over the earth for a moment.

"The hope of the party and the country rests on the youth." (End)
