Xi: A friend of the youth

Sharing his views on belief with the youth

During a visit to Peking University in May 2018, Xi posed a question to students studying at the School of Marxism.

"Why do you study Marxism?" Xi asked.

The question left the students lost in thoughts.

"In retrospect, we think General Secretary Xi, by posing the question, tried to remind us the importance of one's original aspirations," said Fan Jingrong, who was one of the students.

In return, the curious students asked Xi how he grew into a determined Marxist.

Xi said in addition to studying Marxism by reading the original works repeatedly word by word, applying the knowledge learned from the books is the best way to dispel doubt and build firm ideals and convictions.
