In the answer sheets, contestants fully demonstrated their basic literacy as young students in actively learning the knowledge about the CPC and the CYLC in daily life, as well as the history of May Fourth Youth Day.

In addition, they gained happiness in the process of the competition. Students also stated that they would firmly adhere to the ideal of serving the country with science and technology, and continue to contribute their wisdom and talents to the modernization of the motherland in their future study and life and even future work!
