Xi Jinping emphasised that in the new era, the Young Pioneers must hold high the flag and follow the party, inherit the red gene, and cultivate a new generation of the era; in the new era, the Young Pioneers must have love in their hearts and light in their eyes in order to always prepare for the Chinese dream of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and realising the greatness of the Chinese nation.

SYFLS witnesses the inaugural ceremony of the 1st Young Pioneers Headquarters!
Ambitions Youths Brave to Undertake
In response to "actively preventing epidemic and electing healthily", on the evening of October 11th, the school’s Young Pioneers Headquarters adopted the form of short videos to carry out the member election campaign. The theme of the event was "I do my duty, I promise, I serve, and I am happy!" with a total of 44 student candidates.
After the video of the campaign speeches was played, the students, under the guidance of their teachers, voted in accordance with the principles of openness, fairness and justice. And then the election went into the second round of evaluation and screening. In the end, 12 students stood out and became members of the first Young Pioneers Headquarters. Since then, the members of the first Young Pioneers Headquarters of SYFLS have been officially confirmed!
A Hopeful Country with Its Youths Forging Ahead
On the morning of October 26th all the students of our school held a solemn ceremony for the establishment of the Young Pioneers Headquarters in the auditorium of the Wisdom Rotunda. Ms Zhu Weixue, principal, Mr Dong Fang, vice principal, Ms Yang Yu, head of the Student Department, and Ms Liu Yawen, counsellor of Young Pioneers Headquarters, also attended the ceremony.
First, Ms Zhu Weixue announced the list of the Headquarters members who then went on the stage one after another.

Under the rendering of the Youth Pioneer team song, Ms Zhu Weixue, Mr Dong Fang, Ms Yang Yu, and Ms Liu Yawen pinned on the team badges for the 12 members, and the members solemnly returned a team salute.
