May Fourth spirit celebrated Updated: May 05,2021 08:01 AM China Daily
Young people across the nation celebrated National Youth Day on May 4 through activities to inherit the May Fourth spirit in the new era.
May 4 marked the 102nd anniversary of the May Fourth Movement in China.
The movement started with huge student protests on May 4, 1919, opposing the government s response to the Treaty of Versailles, which treated China unfairly and undermined the country s sovereignty in the aftermath of World War I. The movement triggered a national campaign to overthrow the old society and promote new ideas, including science, democracy and Marxism.
The May Fourth spirit refers to patriotism, progress, democracy and science, with patriotism at the core. In the new era, Chinese youth are expected to carry on the May Fourth spirit and to strive for national rejuvenation.
