President Xi Jinping has commended retirees for
their role in promoting the healthy growth of the country's children and
youths and called on them to make new, greater contributions to
nurturing new generations of young people who are prepared to join the
socialist cause. Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China
Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made
the remarks in an instruction delivered to a two-day national conference
marking the 30th anniversary of the China Work Committee on Caring for
the Next Generations, which concluded in Beijing on Wednesday. Xi said children and youths are the future and hope of the nation. Since the committee was founded 30 years ago, it has remained true to
its original aspirations and has kept its founding mission in mind, Xi
said. That is especially so since the 18th CPC National Congress in
2012. The committee has played an important role in promoting the healthy
development of youths through uniting and leading retired officials,
military members, experts, teachers and role models, he said. Xi stressed that retirees are treasures of the Party and the State,
and they are also significant contributors to strengthening youths'
ideological education. He urged Party committees and governments at different levels to
strengthen leadership over the work of caring for the next generations
and support retirees in their participation in related work so that they
will continue to play a part in nurturing young generations for the
socialist cause. The China Work Committee on Caring for the Next Generations, approved
by the CPC Central Committee, was founded in 1990 as an organization
devoted to the care and education of young people. It involves retirees
enthusiastic about related work, and coordinates with the Party
organizations and government departments to create a better social
environment for the healthy growth of young people.
