Youth urged to realize the 'Chinese dream'

PRESIDENT Xi Jinping yesterday encouraged young Chinese people to dare to dream, work to fulfill their dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation.

He said the young generation with firm will, strong sense of responsibility and great professional competence is the hope of realizing the "Chinese dream."

Xi made the remarks during a discussion with a group of outstanding young people from all walks of life, including space engineers, agricultural researchers and welders, to mark the country's Youth Day yesterday.

The "Chinese dream" is a much-discussed concept that has been brought to prominence by Xi. It is widely understood to mean the renewal of the Chinese nation.

"Young people should be optimistic and tenacious when facing adversities," Xi said, asking them to remain steadfast in their faith, refine their professional skills, embrace innovation, work hard and build noble characters.

At the China Academy of Space Technology, where the meeting was held, Xi said the nation places great hope for the youth in achieving scientific and technological innovation.

Chinese Youth Day was established in 1949 to commemorate the May 4th Movement of student protests in 1919.
