Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended a ceremony held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday (May 10) marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China.

Comparing the realization of the Chinese Dream to a relay race, Xi called on young generations to strive for their best to help realize national rejuvenation.

The young people shoulder heavy responsibilities and have a broad space to give full play to their talents. Young Chinese people in the new era have bright prospects of realizing their dreams, Chinese President Xi Jinping said.
