In addition, she elaborated on her proposals about how to make a thorough understanding of President Xi's speech and become qualified and useful contributors and inheritors of China's socialist cause during the interaction with attendees.

Li recalled the remarks of Xi, who stressed in his keynote speech at the 19th CPC National Congress that: "A nation will prosper only when its young people thrive; a country will be full of hope and have a great tomorrow only when its younger generations have ideals, ability, and a strong sense of responsibility."

The remarks further revealed the sincere wishes and specific requirements from Xi concerning educational reform and development, and the cultivation of young talents, in adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era and the strategic importance of realizing the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
