In youth, choosing hardship means harvesting, and choosing dedication is choosing nobility

The fact of countless successes in life shows that in youth, choosing hardship means harvesting, and choosing dedication is choosing nobility. Experiencing a little more beatings, setbacks, and trials in youth is conducive to a good life's journey.

——On May 2013, 5, Xi Jinping's speech at a forum with outstanding youth representatives from all walks of life

It is necessary to actively encourage young people to go to the arduous frontline to endure hardships and temper and increase their talents, let go of young people to overcome difficulties and display their talents in important fields and important posts, and actively create development conditions for young people to strive to become talented, everyone can become talented, and everyone can display their talents.

——On April 2019, 4, Xi Jinping's speech at the meeting to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement

In your letter, you said that only by going into the depths of rural China can we deeply understand what it means to seek truth from facts and how to contact the masses, and young people should "find their own hardships." In the new era, Chinese youth should have this spirit. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made arrangements for building an agricultural power, hoping that the students would have lofty ambitions and be down-to-earth, closely integrate classroom study with rural practice, cultivate feelings of love for farmers, cultivate the ability to rejuvenate agriculture, make contributions to the big stage of rural revitalization, and contribute youth strength to accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

Young cadres should take over the baton of arduous struggle

For outstanding young cadres with potential, it is also necessary to let them undergo the tempering of arduous posts and important posts, put the heavy burden on them, and endure beatings in difficult and urgent matters and even in the experience of "ants on a hot pot". To temper hard posts and important posts, there must be a complete cycle. Young cadres who have prospects for training should be sent to the grassroots level for training.

——Xi Jinping's speech at the National Organization Work Conference in July 2018

Towering trees cannot grow in greenhouses, and slackers cannot achieve great things. The vast number of party members and cadres should grow their ability and strengthen their bones in weathering storms and seeing the world, cultivate a hard backbone, iron shoulders, and true ability to take on responsibilities, dare to put words first, take the lead in doing things, have the courage to take on responsibilities, be good at deeds, and charge ahead and make meritorious contributions in effectively coping with major challenges, resisting major risks, overcoming major obstacles, and resolving major contradictions.

——On January 2020, 1, Xi Jinping's speech at the "Do not forget the original intention, remember the mission" theme education summary conference

Young cadres should take up the baton of arduous struggle, bravely shoulder heavy burdens, work hard and in a down-to-earth manner with an indomitable stance of struggle and an unremitting mental state, and leave behind the footprints of struggle for the party and the country in the new journey of the new era. Being thrifty and simple, and refraining from extravagance, are the heirlooms of our party. At present, our living conditions are better, but the spirit of arduous struggle cannot be lessened at all, and we must persist in cultivating oneself with thrift, developing business with thrift, and persisting in practicing thrift and doing everything diligently. Young cadres should always be vigilant of themselves, cultivate a positive and healthy taste for life, resolutely resist hedonism and extravagance, and always maintain the clean and honest political nature of communists.

——On March 2021, 3, Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration).

The younger generation should abandon arrogance and engrave the blood of youth on the monument of history like our fathers

The vast number of young people should unswervingly listen to the party's words and follow the party, cherish dreams and be down-to-earth, dare to think and do good things, and be determined to be good young people in the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, and are willing to struggle, so that youth can bloom in the fiery practice of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

——Xi Jinping's report at the 2022th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, October 10, 16

The younger generation should inherit and carry forward the spirit of hard-working, self-reliance and hard struggle, abandon arrogance and coquettishness, and engrave the blood of youth and blood on the monument of history like our fathers. The achievement of the second centenary goal is a matter of one or two generations, and we must not be disappointed to make the contribution of our generation.

——Xi Jinping's speech during his inspection tour in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province and Anyang, Henan Province in October 2022

To turn the grand blueprint drawn by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China into reality, young people from all walks of life need to bravely shoulder heavy burdens and charge ahead. I hope that you will continue to carry forward the spirit of aviation serving the country, think in one place, work hard in one place, bravely climb in promoting self-reliance and self-improvement in aviation science and technology, actively act in promoting the high-quality development of the aviation industry, strive to be a good young man in the new era with ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships and are willing to struggle, and make new contributions to the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the comprehensive promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
