Zhang Jingyu, a researcher at Optics Valley Laboratory in Wuhan, Hubei, is focusing on the forefront of femtosecond laser technology, breaking through technological barriers and improving the theoretical capacity of a single glass optical disc; In Jixian County, Heilongjiang Province, Zhang Guangdong, the chairman of Qiufeng Rice Planting Professional Cooperative, deeply cultivates rural fertile fields, introduces intelligent equipment, and forms a youth e-commerce team to empower agricultural production with digitalization; I hope you have lofty ideals, are determined to work hard and strive, and drive young people to integrate their personal pursuits into the overall development of the country. Based on your respective positions, you will continuously create new achievements and contribute your youthful strength on the new journey. ”General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply encourages the representatives of the winners of the May Fourth Medal for Chinese Youth and the New Era Youth Pioneer Award, and earnestly entrusts them to inspire the mighty force of millions of young people to embark on a new journey and contribute to the new era. This year marks the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan, and it is timely for young people to make contributions. Climbing to the peak of technology, rooting at the grassroots level, and sticking to ordinary positions, the vast number of young people embrace their dreams and are down-to-earth, daring to think, dare to do, and do well. A vibrant and magnificent picture of youth in China is slowly unfolding. With ideals in mind: Strive for strength through innovation and climb the peak of technological innovation. Complete the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds! At the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot Half Marathon, the "Lightning" robot from the Qitian Dasheng team of Guangdong Shenzhen Honor Smart Technology Development Co., Ltd. won the championship, surpassing the human men's half marathon record and creating a history of human-machine racing. Autonomous navigation, dynamic balance, and breaking through limits... Young researchers will implement laboratory algorithms in real scenarios, injecting strong momentum into the iteration of the humanoid robot industry with youthful wisdom. With the ideal of serving the country in mind, willing to tackle the toughest bone. Looking across the vast land of China, the innovation wave of Chinese youth is surging from embodied intelligence to a broader horizon. In Xuhui District, Shanghai, as the night deepens, the "Model Speed Space" innovative ecological community is still brightly lit. CEO of Wuwen Xinqiong, Xia Lixue, born in the 1990s, and team members are discussing a solution for optimizing computing power. A year ago, in the "Model Speed Space", Xia Lixue introduced to General Secretary Xi Jinping the breakthrough in the research and development of core software technology for artificial intelligence computing infrastructure. General Secretary Xi Jinping warmly encouraged, "Artificial intelligence is a career for young people, and it is also a career for young people." Xia Lixue led a young team with an average age of 32 to achieve efficient utilization of independent computing power, and jointly created the country's first "computing power ecological supermarket" - the Model Space Computing Power Ecological Platform, with the aim of "making computing power enter thousands of industries and households like hydropower and coal. Gathering over 300 artificial intelligence enterprises, with annual revenue increasing by more than 12 times year-on-year, gross domestic product exceeding 100 billion yuan, and an average age of entrepreneurs under 30 years old... This year, the Shanghai "Model Speed Space" Large Model Innovation Ecological Community Youth Team was awarded the China Youth May Fourth Medal Collective. 'Model speed is young' is not just a slogan, but also a symbiotic landscape of the industry chain where 'going up and down is upstream and downstream' and 'neighbors are partners'. With patriotism, the aspiration to serve the country, and the enhancement of national capabilities, bearing in mind the earnest teachings of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the youth of the new era are taking on the responsibility and courage of Chinese style modernization, charging towards the forefront of science and technology, and writing a brilliant answer that is worthy of the times - breaking new paths in the forefront of the foundation. Xiao Guoliang, director of the Fusion Science Laboratory at the Southwest Institute of Physics in the Nuclear Industry, has developed an imaging system that has achieved precise measurement of the distribution of fusion feed beams for the first time, promoting the comprehensive performance of the "artificial sun" - "China Circulation III" - to the forefront of the world. Key technologies break down barriers. Professor Hu Xiaotian from the Key Laboratory of Thin Film Energy Chemistry in Jiangxi Province has explored a wet process preparation technology with independent intellectual property rights, promoting the mass production of flexible perovskite solar cells and enabling China's photovoltaic technology to leap from "following" and "running parallel" to "leading". A great nation's heavy weapons forge its muscles and bones. Zhang Haonan, Director of the Geophysical Equipment Research Institute of the Geophysical Exploration Division of CNOOC, focuses on scientific research and dedicated research, helping to achieve independent and controllable control of the world's three major marine geophysical equipment. Take on the big role, be the protagonist, and show off your skills. At the forefront of technological innovation, young people have become the undisputed main force. Looking at aerospace, the Beidou network has an average age of 31 for the satellite development team; The average age of the person in charge of key measurement and control positions in Chang'e's soil sampling is 33 years old; The "Heavenly Palace" website was established, and the average age of the final assembly team for the Dream Sky experimental module was 33 years old; Tianwen is exploring the fire, and the average age of the flight control team is only 30 years old... Empowering innovation with youth, China is accelerating its transformation from a global technology participant and contributor to a pioneer and leader. Rooted in the front line: Dig down deeply, write regret free youth on the vast land, sow the seeds of ideals in the soil that the country needs most, only then can youth bloom with the most dazzling light. In Kantiangezhuang Village, Panggezhuang Township, Leting County, Hebei Province, tomatoes are growing well in the fruit and vegetable greenhouse. Li Yao, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Kantian Gezhuang Village, is introducing the agricultural industry situation in the village to the guests. 8 years ago, Li Yao personally paid for materials, wiring, and replacing lights, and 120 LED street lights in the entire village came on. He built 3000 meters of farmland gravel roads, updated the water supply network, installed fitness equipment, and revitalized the living environment in the village. The road is open and the lights are on. The villagers need to rely on industry to increase their income and become rich. ”Li Yao led her fellow villagers to build high standard farmland and introduced the fish and vegetable symbiotic agriculture circular collective economy project to develop facility agriculture. Over the years, the average income per mu of land has increased from over 1000 yuan to 15000 yuan. "This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC. I will keep in mind my original aspiration and mission, actively participate in the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, and make the lives of the people increasingly happy. ”Li Yao said. The hope that grows in the soil, grows with knots. Youth can not only return and stay, but also do well in the countryside. At the northeast end of the Hexi Corridor and downstream of the Shiyang River, Minqin County in Wuwei City, Gansu Province is like a flat boat in the sand sea, surrounded by the two major deserts of Tengger and Badain Jaran. For thousands of years, sandstorms have been engraved in the bones of the people of Minqin. Zhong Lin, the head of Minqin County Forest Planting Public Welfare Development Center, was born in Minqin and grew up in the sand. After graduating from college, he resolutely returned to his hometown. He planted Haloxylon ammodendron on the edge of Tengger Desert, and planted more than 7000 mu of public welfare forests, making the desert gradually green. Youth takes root downwards, green grows upwards. ”Open Zhonglin's short video account, and the content always revolves around sand control and tree planting. Under his leadership, more and more volunteers from all over the country, carrying bags and carrying enthusiasm, rushed to this sandy sea. Rooted not only in the countryside, but also in the places where our country needs it the most. 5373 meters is the highest altitude of an administrative township in China, and also the height touched by youth. In Puma Jiangtang Township, Langka County, Shannan City, Xizang, the oxygen content in the air is less than 40% of the sea level, the annual average temperature is minus 7 degrees Celsius, and the natural environment is extremely harsh. The young police officers of Pumajiangtang Border Police Station have deeply rooted themselves in this "forbidden zone of life", guarding 1511 square kilometers of border jurisdiction and 25 kilometers of border line, simply because "where we stand is China". From the fields of rural revitalization to the forefront of ecological governance, from the "forbidden zone of life" on the border of the motherland to the front line of grassroots development, the vast number of young people have devoted themselves to their mission by sticking to their original aspirations and writing a youth without regrets on the vast land. Practical and responsible: moving towards the future, integrating into the overall development of the country to create extraordinary achievements, forging ingenuity with youth, and striving endlessly. The vast number of young people take on responsibilities in ordinary positions and hone their skills in the pursuit of excellence. This responsibility is the polishing of the skill of forging ten thousand tons of strength in the slightest inch. Next to the 80000 ton forging press, Ye Linwei, the team leader of the 80000 ton forging press team at Deyang Wanhang Forging Co., Ltd. of China's Second Heavy Machinery Group, led the team members to precisely control the equipment. The pulse of the heavy machinery was pulsating with every knocking sound of takeoff and landing. As the first operator of the device and a recipient of the 2023 China Youth May Fourth Medal, Ye Linwei led his team to continuously overcome technical difficulties and successfully produced various types of high-end aviation forging parts such as the main lifting outer tube and fuselage frame beam structural components of the C919 aircraft. The letter from General Secretary Xi Jinping, which urged young people to integrate their personal pursuits into the overall development of the country, left a deep impression on Ye Linwei. I will adhere to my original aspiration of serving the country with skills, continuously create new achievements based on my position, lead the team to tackle more 'hard bones' of extreme forging, and let my youth shine more brilliantly in the hot practice of building a strong manufacturing country. Nowadays, there are over 80 million professional and technical talents in China, and the total number of skilled workers exceeds 220 million, including over 72 million high skilled talents. More and more young people are embarking on the path of becoming skilled talents and serving the country with their skills. This responsibility is the persistent persistence of ordinary people in pursuing a brilliant life. By chance, Wang Qinjin, who became a warehouse keeper at SF Express after graduation, became one of the pilots selected for training within the company. Wind and rain free physical exercise, tireless study of aviation theory, and race against time simulation machine training... Wang Qinjin earned the medal of blue sky with his daily persistence. From a delivery guy to a civil aviation captain, and then to a flight instructor, Wang Qinjin has delivered his hard work with 6600 hours of safe flight time, proving that in an era where everyone enjoys outstanding opportunities, as long as he works hard, youth has infinite possibilities. This responsibility is also a heartwarming protection on the stage of social service. The "Sichuan Tibet Youth Bright Journey" eye health volunteer service team has been advancing to the plateau for 14 consecutive years, and has established approximately 40000 eye health records; Li Zhaojing, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Neighborhood Committee of Chahe Community, Guangchuan Street, Decheng District, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, leads the operation of the city's first community meal center, benefiting special groups... The May Fourth spirit continues to burn, and the youth struggle is just in time. Guided by the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important reply, young people have rooted themselves in grassroots areas such as scientific and technological innovation, rural revitalization, social services, and defending the country and borders. With practical work and responsibility, they have written a youth without regrets, demonstrating the good style of Chinese youth in the new era of self-confidence, self-improvement, and high spirits. They are striving to compose a chapter of youth that is worthy of the times and the people. (Looking into the New Era)
