The Party and the state have always cared for the youth. The hope of the country lies in the hands of young people. A country will thrive when its young population thrive, and a nation will become strong when its young people are strong. As vanguards in the quest for national rejuvenation, young Chinese in this new era live in a great time with ample opportunities. 

党和国家向来关心青年群体，青年肩负着国家的希望，青年兴则国家兴,青年强则国家强。作为实现中华民族伟大复兴中国梦的先锋力量，新时代中国青年生逢盛世、共享机遇。

To better interpret the image of contemporary Chinese youth, the State Council Information Office issued the white paper "Youth of China in the New Era" on April 21, showcasing the vibrant energy and great sense of responsibility of young people in China. 

为进一步读懂青年，国务院新闻办公室在4月21日发表了《新时代的中国青年》白皮书，解析当代中国青年的时代画像，展现出了青年群体的昂扬风貌和责任担当：

Leading the Charge in Difficult Situations and Emergencies

新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，青年不畏艰险、冲锋在前、舍生忘死。32万余支青年突击队、550余万名青年奋战在医疗救护、交通物流、项目建设等抗疫一线。

以青年为主体的国际中文教师志愿者在100多个国家服务帮助各国青年学习中华文化。

The future belongs to the young people, and our hopes also rest with them. A century ago, a group of young progressives held aloft the torch of Marxism and searched assiduously in those dark years for ways to rejuvenate the Chinese nation. Since then, under the banner of the Communist Party of China, generation after generation of young Chinese have devoted their youth to the cause of the Party and the people, and remained in the vanguard of the drive to rejuvenate the nation.

In the new era, our young people should make it their mission to contribute to national rejuvenation and aspire to become more proud, confident, and assured in their identity as Chinese people so that they can live up to the promise of their youth and the expectations of our times, our Party, and our people.

——Speech at a Ceremony Marking the Centenary of the Communist Party of China, July 1, 2021
