Learn from him-let every teenager add strong youthful energy to realize the Chinese dream.
CCTV News:"Youth makes the country prosperous, and youth makes the country strong." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to youth work and cared for the healthy growth of young people. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of important expositions on young people with lofty ideas, rich connotations and profound thoughts, which are of great guiding significance for guiding young people to establish lofty ideals, establish and practice socialist core values, enhance the "four consciousnesses", enhance their sense of advancement and glory, and mobilize the vast number of young people to study hard and work hard to achieve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On line 1, we sort out the important expositions of the general secretary on teenagers in the past five years, so that we can learn together.
First, teenagers are the future of the country and the hope of the nation.
[The future of China belongs to the youth]
The future of China belongs to the youth, and so does the future of the Chinese nation. The ideals, beliefs, mental state and comprehensive quality of the younger generation are an important embodiment of a country’s development vitality and an important factor in a country’s core competitiveness.

[New Force, Commando]
To build a well-off society in an all-round way, the vast number of young people are fresh troops and commandos. I hope that the vast number of young people in our country will fully show their ambitions and passions, have ideals, temper their character, work hard in a down-to-earth manner, and continue to write an era chapter dedicated to youth. To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires generations of aspiring young people to continue to struggle. Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and they are the most energetic and creative group in the whole society. The party and the people have high hopes for the vast number of young people.

Second, the struggle for the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the theme of the China Youth Movement.
[Dare to dream, dare to pursue dreams, and be diligent in interpreting dreams]
Striving for the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the theme of the youth movement in China. The Communist Youth League should carry out in-depth educational practice activities on the theme of "My Chinese Dream" among the vast number of young people, sow and ignite dreams for each young person, so that more young people can dare to dream, pursue dreams and be diligent in dreams, so that every young person can add strong youthful energy to realize the Chinese dream. We should use the Chinese dream to lay a solid ideological foundation for the vast number of young people, educate and help them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, and always love our great motherland, our great people and our great Chinese nation, and firmly follow the Party’s path of China.

[Have faith, dream, struggle and dedication]
Nowadays, college students studying in colleges and universities are all around 20 years old. By the time a well-off society is built in 2020, many of them are under 30 years old. By the middle of this century, when modernization is basically realized, many people are not yet 60 years old. In other words, to achieve the goal of "two hundred years", you and thousands of young people in Qian Qian will participate in the whole process. A life with faith, dreams, struggle and dedication is a meaningful life. The stage for contemporary youth to make contributions is unprecedentedly broad and the prospect of their dreams coming true is unprecedentedly bright. I hope everyone will work hard to create their own wonderful life in the great practice of realizing the Chinese dream.

Third, guide young people to establish and practice socialist core values
There is sunshine in the heart and strength at the foot.
The majority of young people should consciously practice the socialist core values and constantly cultivate noble character. We should take the country’s prosperity and people’s happiness as our responsibility, have lofty ideals, devote ourselves to the great practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive for it for life. We should strengthen ideological and moral cultivation, consciously carry forward the spirit of patriotism and collectivism, and consciously abide by social morality, professional ethics and family virtues. We should persist in hard work, not covet comfort, not be afraid of difficulties, not complain about others, and rely on hard work and sweat to open up the future of life and career. "It seems to be the most extraordinary, but it is easy but hard to achieve." The road of youth’s life is very long. On the way forward, there are plains and mountains, slow currents and dangerous beaches, beautiful days and storms, joy and sadness. There is sunshine in the heart and strength at the foot. Only by persisting and not slacking off for the ideal can we create a life worthy of the times.

Fourth, be brave to be a pioneer, pioneer and devotee in the forefront of the times.
[Stand on one’s own feet and work hard]
The vast number of young people should bear in mind that "empty talk about making mistakes in the country and rejuvenating the country", base themselves on their duties, work hard, start from themselves, start from scratch, and achieve their own wonderful life with hard-working hands and first-class performance. We must not be afraid of difficulties, overcome difficulties, be brave enough to go to the grassroots level with difficult conditions, the front line of national construction, and the forefront of tackling key problems in projects, undergo exercise, and increase our talents.

5. Teenagers are the future of friendly exchanges.
Look at the world from the viewpoint of appreciation, mutual learning and sharing.
The future of the world belongs to the younger generation. If young people around the world have ideals and responsibilities, there will be hope for mankind, and there will be a steady stream of powerful forces to promote the lofty cause of human peace and development. I hope that young people from all countries will look at the world from the perspective of appreciation, mutual learning and sharing, promote exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, and live in harmony, and actively contribute to building a community of human destiny.
