What is behind the great ambitions of young Chinese people?
He called on young people to tie their ideals closely to the future of the country and to strive for national renewal. Chinese youth should foster a spirit of striving, be steadfast in their ideals, stick to their beliefs, be courageous enough to face difficulties and move forward, and work hard in an unyielding manner. Xi said during an inspection visit from Peking University to the Chinese capital. Chinese President Xi Jinping quoted Wangs words in May 2018 to encourage young people to carry on the tradition. The Chinese people have long appreciated the importance of setting ambitious goals and striving to achieve them with perseverance. No ambition, no achievement, said Wang Yangming (1472-1529), a Chinese thinker of the Ming dynasty. Chinese youth should foster a spirit of striving, be steadfast in their ideals, stick to their beliefs, be courageous enough to face difficulties and move forward, and work hard in an unyielding manner. Xi found his career ambition at a young age working in a small village in northwest Chinas Shaanxi Province. In 1969, Xi, 15, arrived in Liangjiahe village as part of a campaign that saw tens of millions of educated urban youths living and working in the countryside. He spent almost seven years there and discovered his lifelong mission to make a difference by serving people. Xi joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1974. Then he became Party secretary of Liangjiahe and led the villagers to accomplish a series of projects for the benefit of local residents, including the construction of a dam, reservoirs. methane, a sewing workshop, a consignment and a mill. In order to build methane tanks that could provide the villagers with gas for their stoves and lights, Xi traveled to neighboring Sichuan province to learn more about the techniques. Upon his return to Liangjiahe, he found that the practice was more difficult than the theory. The digging of the first methane reservoir was difficult, he recalls in an interview in 2004. The water around the reservoir kept rising, but there was no sign of gas. The problem turned out to be a clogged pipe. cleared the obstruction, the pipe splashed manure on my face. Immediately the gas started to spurt out, so we quickly connected the pipe to the stove. A flame more than 30 cm high rose above our methane stove. In another interview in 2003, Xi summed up how Liangjiahes experience had influenced him: I saw the power of the people and the foundation of their life. It was then that I really began to understand people and society. Throughout his political career in different parts of China, Xi has maintained and strengthened his ties with the people and strived to improve his life. After becoming a leader at the national level, he called on the whole Party and the nation to work together for a better China. Meeting the peoples desire for a happy life is our mission, Xi said during a meeting with the press after being elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in November 2012. He brought up the concept of the Chinese dream two weeks later while attending an exhibition entitled The Road to Renewal. He said that achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the countrys greatest dream in modern times. In June 2019, the Party leadership launched a nationwide education campaign among the 90 million CCP members, urging them to stay true to the Partys original aspiration and founding mission of seeking happiness. for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
