President Xi Jinping has urged lifetime loyalty to the Communist Party of China (CPC) among young people as the country prepares to mark National Youth Day on May 4.
President Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the statement in a message to students of China University of Political Science and Law, who had written to him recently.
He advised the students to have a firm faith, to nurture virtue, study hard, and work to become individuals with ideals, ability and a strong sense of responsibility, well-prepared to join the socialist cause and contribute to the rule of law and national rejuvenation.
Xi joined the students on May 3 last year in a Communist Youth League activity themed "Remain True to Your Original Aspiration and Follow the Party" during a visit to the university.
In their letter, the students wrote that some had joined the Party and others were actively preparing to do so. They had also volunteered to raise legal awareness among the general public and supported education in underdeveloped areas in the past year.
Their determination to follow the Party and make contributions to the motherland had been strengthened through such work, they said.
