BEIJING, May 4 -- Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao called on young people to work for the "Chinese dream" on the country's Youth Day, which fell on Sunday.

In a meeting with a group of award-winning young people, Li said he hoped young Chinese would have faith in the Communist Party of China and socialism with Chinese characteristics.

He urged them to integrate their personal dreams with the bigger dream of the Chinese nation's revival and work hard to realize their dreams.

Li also called on all young people to learn from role models and develop upright values and virtues.

The Chinese Youth Day was established in December 1949 to commemorate the beginning of the May 4th Movement in 1919, a student protest that grew out of dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles settlement. It is regarded by China as a patriotic movement against imperialism and feudalism.
