An insightful article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, emphasizing the significance of family ties, education, and traditional values, is set to be published this Saturday.
The piece, authored by Xi, who also serves as the Chinese President and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, will appear in the third issue of this year's Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.
Based on a speech delivered in 2016 during a meeting with representatives of model families from across the nation, the article delves deep into the longstanding importance the Chinese nation places on family. It underscores how family civility and virtues are pivotal in forming a solid foundation for China's development, national progress, and social harmony.
Highlighting the inseparable connection between family and country, Xi's article calls upon Chinese households to intertwine their love for family with patriotism. \"The future of families is closely tied to the future of the country and the nation,\" he notes, urging citizens to integrate personal values with national aspirations.
The article places significant emphasis on family education, advocating for guidance that helps children develop integrity, cultivate beautiful minds, and ensure healthy growth. Such nurturing, Xi believes, will prepare the younger generation to be valuable contributors to the nation and its people as they mature.
Furthermore, Xi encourages households to nurture and practice core socialist values, inspiring family members—especially the youth—to love the Party, the motherland, the people, and the Chinese nation. He calls for the promotion of fine family values and traditions to sustain a positive social ethos.
Emphasizing the influential role of leading officials at all levels, the article urges them to set an example in fostering these values. Xi advocates for collective efforts to promote a new trend of socialist family virtues characterized by love for the nation and family, mutual affection, dedication to progress and kindness, and a spirit of joint contribution and shared prosperity.
