Chinese President Xi Jinping has been attaching great importance to young people's development. Around the Youth Day every year, Xi always spares time to approach the youth, encouraging them to pursue dreams, achieve life values and rise to the mission of national rejuvenation.

China's Youth Day is an annual celebration for the "May Fourth Movement," one of the most significant events in Chinese history, when university students in 1919 stood up and spoke out against unfair treaties at the Paris Peace Conference. It sparked a wave of anti-imperialism and patriotism in China, and marked the beginning of the New Democratic Revolution in China.

Today, one day before the Youth Day, CGTN highlights some key quotes from Xi on Chinese youth. Let's have a look.
