Reporter's note: This is the second episode of our special series "Millennials on the Rise," where CGTN speaks to some of the youngest delegates to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). They are grassroots Party members from all walks of life, ranging from the deputy chief of a Guizhou township to head of an emergency rescue unit.
Yu Ruofei was 22 years old when a landslide suddenly hit his hometown in northwest China's Gansu Province. He joined a civil rescue organization he came across at the time – Blue Sky Rescue. Never could he have imagined that years later he would become the provincial head of this non-profit organization.
"I think it's hard to just easily find something you truly love in pretty much anything. [Volunteering] was more like a hobby for me at first, or putting on a uniform that looks pretty cool," Yu told CGTN. "But every time you try to save someone, or you bury someone's dead body, it gives you a better sense of what life really means."
"Given all these, I started to feel that it should be something I should stick to," Yu said.
Yu lived up to his own manifesto. He joined the CPC in May 2014 and has since "volunteered his way" to the 20th CPC National Congress this year.
"For us young people, we have high hopes. Through the Party congress, we hope to contribute more to the modernization of our country and to better build our country," he said.
