All the participants were firmly resolved to powerfully demonstrate the stamina and indomitable might of the young vanguard and patriotic youths unfailingly loyal to the ideology and leadership of the Party in the gigantic advance toward the fresh victory of the revolution, upholding the flag of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League carrying the great trust and expectation of the respected General Secretary as the banner of struggle.
