China VP urges young to "spread positive energy"

Xinhua, May 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

Young people should "spread positive energy" to help realize the "Chinese dream" of national rejuvenation, Vice President Li Yuanchao urged on Monday, the country's Youth Day.

In a meeting with a group of award-winning young people, Li said he hoped young Chinese could put core socialist values into practice.

"Vigorously spreading positive energy in society can inspire the whole nation to work together and strive for our common aspiration," Li said.

He urged youngsters to spread the spirit of patriotism and dedication, and the tradition of hard work and plain living.
