Ten months after the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), its reserve force, the China Communist Youth League (CCYL), is also marking nine decades since its creation in May.
The celebration comes as the feeder group races to modernize to match the pace of change in Chinese society and to continue attracting members.
