習近平強調，少年兒童是祖國的未來。把家鄉建設好，把我國全面建成社會主義現代化強國，需要你們這一代人接力奮鬥。希望同學們樹立遠大志向，珍惜美好時光，堅持德智體美勞全面發展，爭做愛黨愛國、自立自強、奮發向上的新時代好少年，努力成長為堪當強國建設、民族復興大任的棟樑之材。

之江小學前身是四川省南充市嘉陵區的一所山區小學，山高路陡，校舍老舊。2004年，學校在浙江省對口幫扶下實施遷建，時任浙江省委書記習近平同年5月為學校培土奠基。2005年9月學校正式投入使用，辦學條件顯著改善，現有在校小學生287名。近日，之江小學五年級一班全體同學給習總書記寫信，彙報學習生活情況，表達感恩之情和爭做新時代好少年的決心。

Xi emphasizes all-round development of children

BEIJING, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed the all-round development of children in a reply letter to students from a primary school in the southwestern province of Sichuan.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, encouraged them to be self-reliant and aspiring children in the new era who love the country and the Party.

In the letter dated Thursday, Xi also extended International Children's Day greetings to children nationwide.

Students from Zhijiang Primary School in Sichuan recently wrote a letter to Xi, telling the president about their studies and lives.

In his reply letter, Xi said he was delighted to hear that the school is doing very well and the students are thriving.

"Children are the future of our country," Xi emphasized, encouraging them to "become the talent capable of shouldering the mission of building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation."

The school, previously situated in the mountainous regions of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, was relocated and reconstructed in 2004 with the support of Zhejiang Province in east China, where Xi served as Party chief then.

Xi also laid the foundation for the school, which became operational in September 2005 and currently accommodates 287 students. ■
