People’s leaders ｜ be young friends

On the eve of the May 4th Youth Day in 2022, the Supreme Leader visited China Renmin University.

There are two old photos in the quiet exhibition hall of the history exhibition of the National People’s Congress: one is a photo of the supreme leader and college students; The other photo was taken in Zhengding county government guest house, where the supreme leader and college students sat on the bed and had a long talk.

On July 29th, 1984, the Supreme Leader had a discussion with members of the Summer Social Practice Group of China Renmin University in Zhengding County Government Hostel.

The photo records a past event that happened in the summer of 1984 — — The summer social practice mission of China Renmin University went to Zhengding, Hebei Province for investigation, and the supreme leader of Zhengding County Party Committee made a special trip to visit college students by bike.In Zhengding county government guest house dormitory, the supreme leaderTalk with you and share your experience in grass-roots work for two hours.

From the local to the central government, youth has always been the concern of the supreme leader.

Go deep into the youth, "become one with the vast number of young people" and "be a youth friend, not a youth ‘ Officer ’ " "Be the bosom friend of young friends" … … This is what the supreme leader often says and what he does.

Supreme leaders often go among young people and communicate with them on an equal and cordial basis.

On January 17, 2019, the Supreme Leader had a cordial exchange with teachers and students at the State Key Laboratory of Elemental Organic Chemistry of Nankai University in Tianjin.

In 2009, he came to Tianjin University to visit the students who stayed in school during the holiday, and said humorously, "I would like to talk with our classmates ‘ Talk big ’ " ; At a symposium in 2015, he used his personal experience as an example to persuade young people not to stay up all night. "There is passion inside, but we should take it easy outside"; In 2018, he shared his reading experience with his classmates in Peking University: "In the process of reading, through continuous re-examination, we can achieve the negation of negation, review the past and learn new things." "This conclusion drawn through our own thinking and understanding will be firm" … …

The supreme leader is also a pen pal of many young people. One reply after another, the paper is short and affectionate.

"Between the lines, I feel your determination and confidence to strive for the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." All the students in the 2009 undergraduate league branch of Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture read the understanding and recognition from the reply from the supreme leader.

"The peasants have the truest feelings about your efforts and contributions. I have read a lot of materials reflecting the deeds of college student village officials and am happy for your progress and achievements." Zhang Guangxiu, a university student village official, felt affirmation and encouragement from the reply from the Supreme Leader.

"Strive to be a builder of the western region who can be useful and shoulder heavy responsibilities. I support this life choice you have made." The graduates of Karamay Campus of China Shiyou University (Beijing) received recognition and support from the top leader’s reply.

… … … …

"There is no shelf of great leaders at all, and there is no mandarin or cliché. Instead, they communicate with us like big friends." "It gives people the feeling that they are so easy-going and kind" and "very approachable" … … This is the impression left by the supreme leader on many young people.

On May 28th, 2023, the resident college students of Xifangezhuang Village, Yukou Town, Pinggu District, Beijing measured the hardness of tomato fruit in Jingwa Greenhouse Horticultural Demonstration Park.

Youth is in the initial stage of life, and it is inevitable that they will be confused and confused during their growth. In the eyes of young people, the supreme leader is a "senior" and a "big friend". He always guides young people to take every step of life with words that they can understand and listen to.

He used the metaphor of "kneading dough" to explain the process of entering society to young people in a simple way: "When flour is kneaded with water and then kneaded, it is easy to disperse. But if you keep rubbing it for thousands of times, it will never spread out again. " The supreme leader used this vivid metaphor to tell young people that only when a person grows up under various tests can he really withstand the pressure of life.

Talking about learning, the Supreme Leader encourages young people to "draw knowledge like a sponge" and practice excellent skills; Speaking of physical fitness, he introduced his sports hobbies and encouraged young people to do well in their studies and make their bodies great; On self-cultivation, he exhorted young people to "button up their lives from the beginning" and cultivate a correct value orientation … … Good words are the mutual understanding between friends, and also the advice and encouragement from the predecessors to the younger generation.

In the Hengqin Campus of the University of Macau, I saw that all the students were full of youthful vigor. The supreme leader quoted two lyrics to talk about patriotic complex: one was "Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood" in the national anthem, and the other was "But they took my body away, and you still keep my inner soul" in the Song of Seven Children.

"I can always hear new ideas and be touched." The supreme leader’s personal feelings infected every young person present.

Youth dreams, home and country. Under the care of the supreme leader, every seed of youth has accumulated the power of growth.

"The young people in China in the new era are good and worthy of great responsibility!" "Where is the future? The future is here for you. " The supreme leader’s entrustment to young friends is also the expectation for the future of the motherland: "This loong must have a backbone and hold on, so that she can take off higher."
