CWU Holds Flag-Raising Ceremony

The Youth League Committee (YLC) of China Women's University (CWU) held a flag-raising ceremony on February 29, to mark the start of the new term. To the sound of the national anthem, the Chinese flag was raised on the playground.

Che Lijun, deputy secretary of the YLC, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech. She reviewed the YLC's achievements and efforts in 2016 and pointed out that the YLC will always take a conscientious and pragmatic attitude so as to make positive progress and contribute to the development of talent cultivation.

2017 will be a significant year for the university as we will accept the academic evaluation of the Ministry of Education. To mark the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China, the university will arrange a series of activities themed on Lei Feng's spirit and how to be an advanced youth, Chen said.

Chen also asked all students to study the important speeches made by Secretary-General of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee Xi Jinping. In particular, she asked those present to study hard, develop strong moral characters, consolidate ideological and political concepts, fight for Chinese people's interests and strive for China's revitalization.

Later, the vice-president of the Student Union delivered a speech on behalf of all the students. Secretaries from different departments of the League General Branch and students also participated in the ceremony.
