BRAVERY & INNOVATION

Calling innovation the "source of power," Liu said it is the thing that a nation must count on to achieve continuous improvement and development.

He expressed hope that Chinese youth will always have the bravery to bring innovation and invention in fundamental research areas and key projects, as well as in common production fields and daily life.

China is at the critical stage for completing the building of a moderately prosperous country and "faces a very heavy task of fostering reform, development and ensuring stability," the official said.

Young Chinese people, whatever their circumstances and backgrounds, should aim to stand out by starting from ordinary positions and working diligently, he said.

Moreover, Liu said he hoped each young person always bears in mind the nation and its people, and be someone of responsibility and integrity, thus facilitating social harmony in China.
