"I finally realized my dream — to salute the motherland under the national flag on Tian'anmen Square," said Axi Rigu, 15, in the sixth grade. She also had a new dream of attending college in Beijing. Huang noted that the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, has shown great concern for the growth of children of all ethnic groups. Huang said everyone can achieve personal development through their efforts and she encouraged the students to study hard and develop morality and virtues, and become a new generation of national rejuvenation with a spirit of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement.
Noting that the ACWF serves both women and children, Huang indicated that the ACWF has always paid close attention to poverty-stricken regions such as the areas inhabited mainly by people of the Yi ethnic group, and it will continue to mobilize and integrate resources and give more support, to promote gender equality, ensuring that every woman and child's legitimate rights and interests are safeguarded. Huang also presented the students with a series of books on self-development published by the China Women's Publishing House at the symposium.
