The 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the goal of developing China into a great modern socialist country in every dimension in a two-step approach and realizing the great historic goal of the Chinese Dream on this basis.The new historic juncture and new strategic approach put forward higher requirements on the responsibility and mission of the youth,the “generation of making our country greater”,in the new era.In this regard,it has become an important issue of the era to find out how to make the "new force" of socialist construction smoothly become the "main force" of realizing the Chinese Dream.Xi Jinping pointed out that all the young people are born at the right time and they should make great efforts to serve as bridges for national

Marxism,efforts are made to conduct textual research,comparative research and systematic research regarding youth thoughts of Marx,Engels,Lenin,Stalin and Mao Zedong and the youth thoughts of Chinese
