An event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement was held in Yizhuang, Beijing's Daxing district, on April 29.
The May Fourth Movement was a political, cultural, and anti-imperialist movement started by students in Beijing on May 4, 1919. The movement marked the first historical instance of China's proletariat stepping onto the national stage.
The Communist Youth League (CYL) of Yizhuang township committee commended 44 young volunteers and awarded the title of "Youth Civilization Demonstration Post" to 33 winners at Monday’s event.
Last year, the CYL Yizhuang township committee organized more than 200 volunteer service activities related to key jobs in the Daxing district and Yizhuang township governments. High achievers were commended and the winners of honorary titles were selected from the participants of these activities.
The event also witnessed the forming of a partnership in the field of CYL organizational construction among the CYL Yizhuang township committee, Central Conservatory of Music, China Agricultural University, University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Beijing government affairs administrative bureau.
Some CYL members and children from Yizhuang staged artistic performances as well in honor of the event, through which the CYL Yizhuang township committee encouraged young people to carry on the spirit of the May Fourth Movement and to play an active role in the development of Yizhuang, a high-tech development zone in the nation's capital.
