共青团作为中国共产党领导下的先进青年群众组织,是广大青年在实践中学习中国特色社会主义和共产主义的学校,是中国共产党的助手和后备军。而青年尤其是大学生扮演着先进生产力创造者、科学理论追随者、科学文化知识和科学精神传播者,中华传统美德和社会主义道德实践者及健康生活方式倡导者等多种角色。 As an advanced youth mass organization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the CYL is a school where most young people study socialism and communism with Chinese characteristics in practice and is an aide and reserve force of the Chinese Communist Party. Young people, especially college students, play a variety of roles, such as creators of advanced productive forces, followers of scientific theories, disseminators of scientific and cultural knowledge and science spirits, traditional Chinese virtues and moral practitioners of socialism and advocates of healthy lifestyles.
