In celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC), GEG recently organized an extended seminar where Ms. Wang Jiangyan, associate professor of The Central Institute of Socialism, and Mr. Xu Qing, former associate professor of The People’s Liberation Army, shared their insights over the power of youth through an in-depth online sharing session and on-site music appreciation respectively. GEG invited over 200 students from local secondary schools, representatives from universities, GEG team members and members of the GEG Youth Achievement Program to participate in the activities, in hopes of encouraging Macau’s next generation to lead the new era by fulfilling their responsibilities and missions to contribute to China’s national rejuvenation.
Participant Sharing
Mr. Allen Ma, a secondary student from Kao Yip Middle School, said, “Young people represents hope and is the driving force of society’s sustainable development.
As Macau’s new generation, we should contribute our youth power and serve the country with our strengths. The sharing has enlightened me and gives me determination to help those in need and contribute to the betterment of mankind.”
Gary Lao
Mr. Gary Lao, one of the participating YAP members, believes that GEG provided an informative seminar that allowed them to access national education knowledge outside of classrooms and textbooks.
“I was inspired by the self-strengthening mentality of the CYLC, and will better equip myself and fulfill my civic responsibilities by proactively participating in social affairs and supporting Macau’s integration with the national development.”
Meng Wong
Mr. Meng Wong, one of the attending GEG team members, was impressed by the contributions of the CYLC. He said, “Thanks to GEG’s arrangement, the seminar offered me an opportunity to solidify my knowledge of national education and heighten my patriotism.
It also encouraged me to share these gains and reflections with my family and children, thereby passing on the spirit of ‘loving the motherland and loving Macau’ to the future generation.”
