To guide the vast number of young Communist Youth League members to inherit and carry forward the May Fourth spirit, encouraging teachers and students to actively shoulder the responsibilities and obligations bestowed upon young people by the times, remembering history, not forgetting their original aspirations, and forging ahead. On the morning of May 6th, the senior high school department held a flag-raising ceremony themed "Upholding the May Fourth Spirit, Showcasing Youthful Vigor". The ceremony was hosted by Class (1) of Grade 2, with all teachers, students, and leaders of the senior high school department participating.

Facing the rising sun of the early morning, the flag-raising ceremony officially began. The members of the national flag guard team marched in with neat steps, escorting the national flag into the field. With the playing of the majestic national anthem, under the attention of all teachers and students, the five-star red flag slowly rose and fluttered in the wind.

Outstanding student representatives from Class (1) of Grade 2, Wang Tianyun, Yi Pan, Tian Yuxuan, and Zhang Yuqing, gave heartfelt recitations. They called on all teachers and students to use their full enthusiasm, upholding the spirit of patriotism, progress, science, and democracy, to contribute our youthful strength to the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, arming our minds with Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, carrying forward the May Fourth patriotic spirit, and striving tirelessly for the construction of a strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful socialist modern country!

Following this, Tan Yadong, director of the senior high school political and educational office, gave a speech, leading everyone to review the magnificent history of May Fourth, to revisit the May Fourth spirit, and to encourage everyone with the motto "When the youth is intelligent, the nation is intelligent; when the youth is wealthy, the nation is wealthy; when the youth is strong, the nation is strong," and "Study for the rise of China."

This flag-raising ceremony further strengthened patriotic education, enhanced national pride and responsibility, and inspired students' boundless love and respect for their motherland. It showcased the excellent spirit of our school's students. The students deeply understood the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, determined to use their knowledge, ideals, and enthusiasm to compose even more resounding songs of youth, willing to study hard for the rejuvenation of China, and willing to contribute to creating a bright future for the motherland!

Director Tan's speech

 

100 On May 4th of that year, more than 3,000 Beijing students shouted slogans such as "Fight for national rights externally, punish national traitors internally," "Cancel the Twenty-One Demands," and "Refuse to sign the contract," ushering in a new chapter in the Chinese revolution. This was not only a far-reaching and great patriotic movement, but also a profound movement for ideological liberation and a new cultural movement.

This is the great May Fourth Patriotic Movement.

In this magnificent revolutionary youth movement, the spirit of patriotism, science, and democracy were integrated, jointly creating the May Fourth spirit, which has both profound connotations and distinct characteristics of the times. The "May Fourth spirit" is a manifestation of the strong patriotic enthusiasm of Chinese youth, a spirit of pursuing progress, a spirit of fearlessness and tenacious struggle. It is a precious spiritual wealth left to us by revolutionary predecessors—patriotism, progress, democracy, and science.

The revolutionary torch ignited by the May Fourth Movement has been passed down to contemporary youth after a century. The lofty ideals of the May Fourth pioneers to revitalize the nation will be carried forward by contemporary youth. As contemporary young students, we must study diligently and study for the rise of China.

"When the youth is intelligent, the nation is intelligent; when the youth is wealthy, the nation is wealthy; when the youth is strong, the nation is strong." This is the responsibility bestowed upon contemporary young people by history, and it is the ardent expectation of the people. The torch of May Fourth awakened the nation. The magnificent cause inspires us to carry forward the legacy. Here, we are not only reviewing the glorious history of the patriotic predecessors of that year, but also reminding ourselves to constantly strive for self-improvement. Here, let us revisit the May Fourth spirit, hold high the torch of May Fourth, use ideals to navigate, use youth as sails, set sail from now on, embrace the rising sun of tomorrow, and open up a new chapter in life!

Classmates, let us inherit and develop the traditional spirit of May Fourth, let the eight characters "patriotism, progress, democracy, and science" shine brightly in the 21st century, and let the great national spirit of the Chinese nation write a more magnificent page in the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
