One of the most important things for our party to come step by step is to constantly sum up experience, gain enlightenment from history, and extract the magic weapon to defeat the enemy from historical experience. A century of glory, led by the big party, and taken on by the youth. It can be said that the century-old glory of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a history of discovering and attaching importance to youth, leading and relying on youth, believing and achieving youth, and it is also a glorious century for the younger generation to relay and inherit and help the national rejuvenation with youth.
Marx once pointed out: "In the process of changing society, youth is an important driving force". The Communist Party of China (CPC) inherited, enriched and developed the Marxist concept of youth in the course of leading the youth movement for a hundred years, attached great importance to the special position and key role of youth in the development of the cause of the party and the country, and made it clear that "the country is prosperous when young people are prosperous, and the country is strong when young people are strong". He regarded the ideals, beliefs, mental state and comprehensive quality of the younger generation as an important embodiment of the vitality of national development and an important factor of core competitiveness, and always followed the strategy of national prosperity, the cause of the party passed on from generation to generation and the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the youth of the times have always shared the same fate with the nation, forged ahead with the motherland, and kept pace with the times. In the great cause of realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the youth has made great strides in generate and triumphed.
Youth power opens a new journey for the nation.
In 1919, the May 4th Movement broke out. In the face of national peril, young people in China, full of feelings of home and country and revolutionary spirit, stepped forward and gathered under the banner of patriotism, vowing that "the land cannot be ruined, and the people cannot bow their heads", striving to be at the forefront of anti-imperialist and anti-feudal national salvation, playing magnificent songs to defend national dignity, transform old China and explore the road of new China, and opening the ideological emancipation trend of pursuing truth and progress. China’s advanced young intellectuals’ deflagration of youth and their display of bloody responsibility lit up the dark and heavy historical starry sky, and showed the vigorous power of new youth to promote social progress, and the youth movement and youth power have since stepped onto the historical stage. Chen Duxiu attaches great importance to the important role of youth in social development. In the preface of New Youth, he wrote: "Youth is like early spring, like the morning sun, like the germination of a hundred flowers, like the new development of a sharp blade." He believes that the hope of the country "only belongs to fresh and lively youth, and there is a conscious struggle!" Li Dazhao had high hopes for young people. In the inaugural issue of Morning Bell, he wrote that "the country can’t live without young people, and the young people can’t wake up for a day", emphasizing that whether the ancient nation can reproduce "youthful China" depends on how young people consciously listen. Therefore, he called on young people to "take the creation of youthful China as the only mission".
After the May 4th Movement, the youth in China discovered their own strength, and the people of China and the Chinese nation discovered the strength of youth. A hundred years ago, more than a dozen young Marxist believers in Shikumen in Shanghai and Red Boat in Nanhu, Jiaxing, as the main force and new force, created an epoch-making event in the history of China, established the the Communist Party of China (CPC), and the voyage of the century-old party set sail in the hands of the youthful young communist party. Since then, the people of China have their own political party to raise the flag and have their own pilots to steer, and the people’s face, the country’s face and the Chinese nation’s face have taken on a new look.
