History edit

The founding of the Youth Times can be traced back to when the Rural Youth (农村青年) was launched in 1951[8] in Hangzhou[9] by Chen Jinhai (陈金海).

Rural Youth was renamed as Zhejiang Youth (浙江青年), Zhejiang Youth Post (浙江青年报) and Oriental Youth (东方青年), and was discontinued twice. [10]

In 1991, the newspaper was relaunched as Zhejiang Youth Post, and officially renamed as Youth Times on October 8, 2001.[11]

At the end of December 2020, Youth Times announced the suspension of publication,[12] and its official website, qnsb.com,[13] is no longer accessible.
