On this day, 70 years ago, on August 30, 1955 (July 13, 1955, the lunar calendar), young volunteers from Beijing City set out for Heilongjiang. Beijing youth rushed to Heilongjiang to reclaim wasteland. The Beijing City youth volunteer reclamation team left Beijing by car at 6 p.m. and went to Luobei County, Heilongjiang Province to welcome a new life. More than 170 people went to the station to see off these young builders. The youth volunteer reclamation team established its own team site on the 28th. Leaders of the Communist Party branch and the Youth League branch were elected. There are sixteen Communist Party members and forty-two young league members in the reclamation team, including twelve young women. More than 1,500 young people in the capital held a grand rally on the morning of the 30th to bid farewell to the Beijing City Youth Volunteer Reclamation Team. Hu Yaobang, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the New Democratic Youth League of China, delivered a speech at the meeting. He said: "Our country has 150 million acres of wasteland. We young people cannot let weeds grow in wasteland. We must grow food. We must not let wasteland sleep. We must let it serve the socialist construction of the motherland. You are gone this year, and more young people will come to you next year and the year after. The Soviet Union had a Communist Youth City, but why couldn't we have a youth city? Young people in Beijing should go to the borders of the great motherland to build a youth city." He encouraged the members of the reclamation team to march towards difficulties. He said: "If there are a thousand difficulties, break down a thousand, and if there are 10,000 difficulties, break down 10,000. Under the leadership of the party, use your working hands to create a happy life. When the National Conference of Young Socialist Construction Activists is held on September 20, I hope you will send representatives to attend the conference and report on your achievements in reclamation. "Then, the Central Committee of Hu Yaobang's delegation awarded the" Beijing City Youth Volunteer Reclamation Team "a red team flag. Hu Yaobang said," This represents the expectations of 120 million young people across the country for you. I hope you will hold this flag and march forward bravely!" At this time, all the members of the Star Wilderness Team walked onto the rostrum amid warm applause. Yang Hua accepted this glorious banner on behalf of the Reclamation Team. Yang Shu, a member of the Beijing City Committee of the Communist Party of China, delivered a speech at the meeting. He encouraged young volunteer reclamation team members to overcome all difficulties, rely on their own hard work, build their own lives, and set an example for future generations for the cause of socialist construction of the great motherland. Wang Zhaohua, Second Secretary of the Beijing City Committee of the New Democratic Youth League of China, reported at the meeting that young people in Beijing City actively participated in the reclamation team and that young people in Beijing City enthusiastically supported the reclamation team. In two weeks, 564 young people from Beijing City alone signed up to participate in the reclamation team, and the total cash amount of youth from more than 60 units to support the reclamation team reached 69,698 yuan.

Ji Jingrong, a representative of the Beijing City Young Pioneers, recited a passionate dedication, which said: "Dear big brothers and sisters, we are waiting for your good news.
