学习绘本|国家的希望在青年，民族的未来在青年

党的十八大以来，每逢五四青年节，习近平总书记都会用考察寄信等方式寄语青年一代。习近平曾指出“未来属于青年，希望寄予青年。”并不断为青年的成长成才指明方向，激励他们在实现中华民族伟大复兴的道路上奋勇向前。

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, General Secretary sends message to young people on every Chinese Youth Day which falls on May 4th. Xi said, “The future belongs to the young people, and the hopes also rest with them.” He has pointed the young people in the right direction to reach their full development, encouraging them to forge ahead towards the great goal of national rejuvenation.

青年的理想信念关乎国家未来

The ideals and beliefs of youths have a bearing on the future of a country

青年的人生目标会有不同，职业选择也有差异，但只有把自己的小我融入祖国的大我、人民的大我之中，与时代同步伐、与人民共命运，才能更好实现人生价值、升华人生境界。

Young people have different life goals and career choices. But only when you integrate your goals with those of the nation and the people, advance with the times, and share the aspirations of the people will you live up to your values and realize the lofty goals of life. 

做人最大的事情“就是要知道怎么样爱国”

The biggest thing for a citizen is knowing how to love one's country

胸怀忧国忧民之心、爱国爱民之情，不断奉献祖国、奉献人民，以一生的真情投入、一辈子的顽强奋斗来体现爱国主义情怀，让爱国主义的伟大旗帜始终在心中高高飘扬!

Young Chinese should show concern and affection for our country and our people. You should dedicate yourself to the country and the people, demonstrate patriotism with lifelong sincerity and drive, and let the great banner of patriotism fly high in your heart.

青年要初生牛犊不怕虎

Young people must maintain your courage

一切视探索尝试为畏途、一切把负重前行当吃亏、一切“躲进小楼成一统”逃避责任的思想和行为，都是要不得的，都是成不了事的，也是难以真正获得人生快乐的。

There are people who are afraid to experiment and try out new things, or treat responsibilities as burdens and losses, or shirk their responsibilities and attend only to their own business. All such thoughts and acts are undesirable and those who entertain them will accomplish nothing and never be able to truly enjoy life.

奋斗是青春最亮丽的底色

Hard work paints a bright backdrop for a young life

毫不畏惧面对一切艰难险阻，在劈波斩浪中开拓前进，在披荆斩棘中开辟天地，在攻坚克难中创造业绩，用青春和汗水创造出让世界刮目相看的新奇迹!

In the new era young Chinese must forge ahead as brave and devoted pioneers in the forefront of the times against all difficulties and obstacles, and work hard to blaze new trails, achieve successes and create miracles that will astonish the world.

青年是苦练本领、增长才干的黄金时期

Youth is a golden age for developing skills through hard work

不论是成就自己的人生理想，还是担当时代的神圣使命，青年都要珍惜韶华、不负青春，努力学习掌握科学知识，提高内在素质，锤炼过硬本领，使自己的思维视野、思想观念、认识水平跟上越来越快的时代发展。

To achieve your ideals or to shoulder the mission of the times, young people must cherish and do justice to the prime of youth, study hard to acquire scientific knowledge, improve your capabilities, hone your skills, and keep up with new developments around the world in terms of thinking, vision, ideas, and level of understanding.

从自身内省中提升道德修为

Enhance your moral integrity through introspection

青年要把正确的道德认知、自觉的道德养成、积极的道德实践紧密结合起来，不断修身立德，打牢道德根基，在人生道路上走得更正、走得更远。

Young people must integrate sound moral appreciation and conscious moral development with active moral practice, to improve yourselves and maintain moral integrity. This way you will travel further in the correct direction on the path of life.
