Before the founding of New China, * * * wrote many inscriptions for and advocated the cause of children. 1April, 942, * * Inscription to commemorate Children's Day at that time: Children unite and learn to be the new masters of the new China.
1949 On the eve of the founding of New China in September, Beijing published the first issue of Children of China (now known as China Children's Daily), with the inscription: Study hard.
In order to make children in new China receive better education and grow up healthily, * * pointed out in the "Common Program of China People's Political Consultative Conference" which he personally presided over1September 29, 949: "People * * * should reform the old education system, teaching content and teaching methods in a planned and step-by-step manner."
1950, * * wrote an inscription for the inaugural issue of People's Education: "Restoring and developing people's education is one of the important tasks at present." In June this year 1, China designated June 1 International Children's Day as the New China Children's Day, which reflected the concern of * * * and others for children, the people's concern for children's future and the protection of their legitimate rights and interests. * * * happily wrote an inscription for People's Daily: "Celebrate Children's Day."
In spite of his busy schedule, * * * is still obsessed with children's education and health. 1950 19 June, * * wrote to Ma Xulun, then Minister of Education: "All schools should pay attention to health first and study second. Insufficient nutrition, appropriate increase in funding. "

The above is the first source of Chairman Mao's inscription "Study hard and make progress every day"!
Source 2: "Little Hero" Chen Yongkang
1951on may 3rd, Chen Yongkang, a pupil of Jinchang primary school outside the ancient city of Suzhou, Jiangsu, was 8 years old. "The teachers have all gone to concentrate on their studies, and we have a holiday." His family lives outside the ancient city of Suzhou, and it takes only ten minutes to get to Jinchang Primary School. "If you have nothing to do during the holiday, climb the city wall to play."
In the early days of liberation, * * * was everywhere in the ancient city. Chen Yongkang said that in class, the teacher would repeat the content of anti-espionage every day, which left a deep impression on him.
"When climbing the city wall, an uncle came over." Chen Yongkang still remembers the man's appearance, with bright hair, wearing black leather shoes and speaking Suzhou dialect. Ask him where he is studying when he comes up. He answered truthfully. The man took out a bag of sugar, some money and a bag of powder.
Chen Yongkang's family is very poor. His brother and sister have five children, and he is the eldest. My father is a boatman and my mother helps people do odd jobs. "The tuition fee of five yuan per semester should be paid in three installments. It is a big deal for my mother to buy snacks at fifty cents! "
"These are all for you. Put this flour on the teacher's desk. " The strange uncle kindly told him. Chen Yongkang was puzzled: if he had candy, he would pay back the money. He has a crush on it. I remember the last time I ate sugar was during the Spring Festival. But the thought of putting the schoolbag on the teacher's desk made Chen Yongkang wary. "At that time, the teacher talked about spies every day, saying that counter-revolutionaries would use gunpowder, grenades and various methods of killing people to destroy our factories and schools." Although he is young, he is clever at heart.
Chen Yongkang said quietly, "Let me go with you!" After walking a few hundred meters, Chen Yongkang saw four * * * coming towards him at the other end of the wall. He immediately threw away his things, hugged the man's leg tightly and shouted, "Uncle * * * come and catch the spy!"
"At this time, he (referring to the man) panicked and started to fight me." Chen Yongkang said that he was punched in the head and body, and his nose and mouth were bleeding, but he still clung to each other until * * * arrived to subdue the man and the injured Chen Yongkang was escorted home. Later, * * * confirmed that the man was a spy and the yellow powder was an explosive.
The news that an 8-year-old boy was injured in catching a spy suddenly spread. For the safety of Chen Yongkang, the teacher took him to the school dormitory and took turns to take care of him. A week later, he began to give reports frequently.
All walks of life are paying attention to Xiao Yongkang. The school receives many calls, letters and gifts every day. At that time, a classroom was covered with banners.
On May 8, 195 1, the new Soviet newspaper reported: "Chen Yongkang Zhiyong, an eight-year-old student of Jinchang Primary School, caught a spy and sent a letter of condolences to the Youth League Working Committee." The full text introduces the story of Chen Yongkang's brave spy in detail. The full text of the condolence letter said, "Your brave and witty actions will be used to educate all young pioneers, learn from you, and everyone will imitate you and catch the spies clean. I wish you an early health. "
On May 9th of that year, Suzhou Federation of Students and Education Union held a meeting to suppress counter-revolutionaries. Suzhou * * * specially awarded him the title of "Little Revolutionary Hero". On May 10, New Su Bao had a photo of Chen Yongkang and the head teacher, with Chen Yongkang's immature signature "It is glorious to catch a spy", and the font was crooked. The article said, "Chen Yongkang, the 8-year-old brother who bravely and tactfully caught the spy, stepped onto the stage and was warmly cheered and respected by all the delegates. He is a good boy of the people of China, and the people of this city awarded him a certificate of commendation for his brave and exemplary actions. "
After lecture after lecture, Zhang Bainian, an old writer, recalled: "The beautiful female teacher came to our school to give a lecture with this young hero (referring to Chen Yongkang). We were all very excited, impressed and surprised."
195 1 month 1 day, Suzhou Mayor Wang Dongnian met with Chen Yongkang and the head teacher. Chen Yongkang's deeds soon spread all over the country. His deeds have also been included in textbooks. Finally, when the news reached Beijing, * * * happily wrote an inscription: "Study hard and make progress every day", and sent someone to make a banner for Chen Yongkang. This year, he was only 8 years old.
However, just after liberation, there are still many unstable factors in society. Therefore, in order to protect Chen Yongkang, the Chairman's inscription became confidential, so we didn't know about it.
This is the second source of Chairman Mao's inscription "Study hard and make progress every day"!
