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. 

黨和國家向來關心青年群體，青年肩負著國家的希望，青年興則國家興,青年強則國家強。作為實現中華民族偉大復興中國夢的先鋒力量，新時代中國青年生逢盛世、共用機遇。

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. 

為進一步讀懂青年，國務院新聞辦公室在4月21日發表了《新時代的中國青年》白皮書，解析當代中國青年的時代畫像，展現出了青年群體的昂揚風貌和責任擔當：

展現構建人類命運共同體的青春擔當

At present, many volunteer Chinese teachers, most of whom are young people, are working in more than 100 countries, to help youth in other countries to study Chinese culture.

以青年為主體的國際中文教師志願者在100多個國家服務幫助各國青年學習中華文化。

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

未來屬於青年，希望寄予青年。一百年前，一群新青年高舉馬克思主義思想火炬，在風雨如晦的中國苦苦探尋民族復興的前途。一百年來，在中國共産黨的旗幟下，一代代中國青年把青春奮鬥融入黨和人民事業，成為實現中華民族偉大復興的先鋒力量。新時代的中國青年要以實現中華民族偉大復興為己任，增強做中國人的志氣、骨氣、底氣，不負時代，不負韶華，不負黨和人民的殷切期望！
