In an upcoming issue of Qiushi Journal, a leading magazine of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, highlights the pivotal role of family ties, education, and values in shaping China's future.
The article, scheduled for publication this Saturday, draws from a 2016 speech Xi delivered to representatives of model families across the nation. It underscores that the Chinese nation has always held family in high regard, advocating for family civility and virtues as essential foundations for the country's development, national progress, and social harmony.
Xi emphasizes that the future of families is intrinsically linked to the nation’s future. He calls on Chinese households to blend their love for family with their love for the country, fostering a harmonious relationship between personal and national well-being.
Family education is another critical focus of the article. Xi argues that educating children with integrity and cultivating their moral character are crucial for their healthy growth and future contributions to society. By nurturing core socialist values within the family, the younger generation can develop a strong sense of loyalty to the Party, the motherland, the people, and the Chinese nation.
The article also appeals to all Chinese families to uphold and promote fine family values and traditions, thereby sustaining a positive social ethos. Xi calls on leading officials at all levels to lead by example in this endeavor, promoting a new trend of socialist family virtues that emphasize national love, familial bonds, devotion to progress, kindness, and mutual support.
Through these efforts, Xi Jinping envisions a society where strong family foundations contribute to the overall strength and harmony of the nation, ensuring sustained development and prosperity.
