"Members of the Communist Youth League, young friends!" The second floor banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People echoed the general secretary's cordial address, just like the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement three years ago.
At that conference, the general secretary emphasized that party committees and governments at all levels, leading cadres at all levels, and the whole society must "be confidantes of young friends, enthusiasts about youth work, and guides for young people."
At this year's conference, the general secretary once again emphasized that party committees (party groups) at all levels should devote great enthusiasm to studying the law of youth growth and the characteristics of the times, and devote great energy to youth work, to be the confidant of young friends and the leader of youth work. Enthusiasts, guides for young people.
Respecting the law of youth growth, respecting the nature of youth, and taking care of the characteristics of youth are the consistent requirements of the general secretary.

When encountering ideological confusion in the aspects of , ego, ego, nation and the world, in-depth and meticulous education and guidance are needed more.
The key to promoting the cause of the Communist Youth League to continuously open up new prospects lies in the cadres of the Communist Youth League.
In June 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in a collective conversation with members of the new leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League that the cadres of the Youth League must care about the youth, adhere to the youth-oriented, deeply rooted in the youth, fully rely on the youth, and do everything for the youth. , to be a youth friend, not a youth "official".

He also emphasized that the cadres of the regiment should have a "clear mind and strong mental strength, so that people can feel the clarity and purity that young cadres should have."
Times are different, but youth is the same.
In 1916, Li Dazhao sent a message to young people in the article "Youth" to "advance forward without caring about the back, back the darkness and turn to the light, to advance civilization for the world and create happiness for mankind".
Young people, the soul of the country.
Contemporary youth must strive to be the first in the race to realize national rejuvenation, and use their youthful wisdom and sweat to create a better China.
