Inscription for the First Anniversary of the Founding of the Northwest Youth National Salvation Federation
(April 15, 1938)

The youth are the fresh combat forces in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The present task of youth organizations is to unite young men and women of all strata throughout the country, to go in large numbers onto the battlefields of the War of Resistance, to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the regular army, and to develop extensive guerrilla warfare. Young people in the rear areas should also work entirely for the victory of the war. China's liberation depends mainly on the youth.
