Recently, at the third congress of the China Volunteer Service Federation, Chinese President Xi Jinping penned a congratulatory letter calling for a renewed volunteer spirit. He urged everyone to pitch in and drive the goal of building a great modern socialist country—and laying the groundwork for national rejuvenation.
Xi, who also serves as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, emphasized how volunteering can spark real change. He highlighted selfless service, community care, and teamwork as key forces to power social progress and national strength 💪.
This call shines a spotlight on volunteer initiatives across the Chinese mainland—from local neighbourhood support to digital mentorship programmes. For young people in South and Southeast Asia, it's a reminder that volunteering and tech-savvy creativity can go hand in hand: organising virtual study groups or community drives can leave a lasting mark ✨.
