The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that from now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to build a great modern socialist country in an all-round way, realize the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. In the face of the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world unseen in a century, the ideological and political education of colleges and universities should be subordinated to and serve the Chinese-style modernization, and give full play to the important role of ensuring the correct direction, strengthening the support of talents, consolidating the cultural foundation, and enhancing spiritual strength.
The direction determines the path, and the road determines the destiny. Directional issues are issues that determine nature, have a fundamental relationship, affect the overall situation, and involve the future. We must guard the origin, root and soul of Chinese-style modernization, unswervingly adhere to the Chinese characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese-style modernization, and ensure the correct direction of Chinese-style modernization. Ideological and political education in colleges and universities should undertake the task of political guidance, further guide young students to fully understand the connotation and essence of Chinese-style modernization, and raise the flag and steer the way in clarifying development goals, promoting specific practice, and strengthening value identity. Ideological and political education in colleges and universities should earnestly perform the function of theoretical interpretation and guide students to profoundly understand that the great social changes in contemporary China are not simply the master version of China's history and culture, not a simple application of the template conceived by the writers of Marxist classics, not a reprint of the socialist practice of other countries, nor a copy of the modernization development of foreign countries, but a new path of modernization that conforms to China's reality, reflects the will of the Chinese people, and meets the requirements of the development of the times. Through ideological and political education, we will scientifically demonstrate the scientificity of "Marxism in the Chinese Era" to young people, highlight the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the younger generation to further strengthen their self-confidence in the road, theory, system, and culture, and realize ideological unification in the theoretical and practical innovation of promoting Chinese-style modernization.
1. Unity in politics and unity in action.
Education, science and technology, and qualified personnel are the basic and strategic support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Talent is an important indicator to measure the country's comprehensive national strength, the first resource for national development and national rejuvenation, and an important guarantee and intellectual support for the successful promotion and expansion of Chinese-style modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have always attached importance to cultivating talents, uniting talents, leading talents, and achieving talents, and have sent batch after batch of high-quality talents with modern ideology, modern moral literacy, and modern technical skills to promote Chinese-style modernization. At present, China has entered a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal, and we are closer to realizing the grand goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we are more thirsty for talents than at any time in history. Colleges and universities shoulder the glorious mission of educating people for the party and the country, and ideological and political education plays an important role in vigorously cultivating new people of the era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, and are willing to struggle. It is necessary to firmly grasp the spiritual core of realizing human modernization and the ultimate goal of the all-round development of human freedom, integrate the theoretical system and practical achievements of Chinese-style modernization into the ideological and political curriculum and the content of the ideological and political curriculum, create an ideological and political education system with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, deeply study the growth laws, psychological characteristics, behavior patterns and values of young talents in the process of Chinese-style modernization, and help the vast number of young people establish lofty ideals, shoulder the responsibilities of the times, and have the courage to struggle. Cultivate excellent skills, cultivate the feelings of the family and the country, and spontaneously undertake the mission of the times to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, so as to promote the modernization of the country and society with the modernization of people.
The prosperity of a country and a nation is always supported by the prosperity of culture, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation needs to be conditioned by the development and prosperity of Chinese culture. At the new historical starting point, to promote cultural self-confidence and self-reliance, we must unswervingly follow the path of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, and develop a national, scientific, and popular socialist culture that is oriented to modernization, the world, and the future. Ideological and political courses in colleges and universities should inherit and carry forward the traditional advantages of ideological and political education in disseminating mainstream ideology, always adhere to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading force, use dialectical materialism and historical materialism to analyze and explain the historic achievements and historic changes in the cause of the party and the country in the new era, persist in arming the whole party with the party's innovative theories, educating the people and guiding practical work, and guide the vast number of young people politically, ideologically, and Enhance the understanding, recognition and support for the Party's leadership of Chinese-style modernization in terms of emotion and value. With in-depth study, Xi propaganda and implementation of first-class cultural thought as an important task of ideological and political education in our colleges and universities, scientifically answer a series of major questions such as what is the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, why should we strengthen the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and how to strengthen the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and profoundly explain the promotion of cultural prosperity and the construction of a cultural power. It is of great significance to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and strive to enhance the dialectical unity of theoretical guidance and practical exploration, so as to realize the benign interaction between theoretical innovation and practical innovation. Integrate the cultivation and practice of the core socialist values into the entire process of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, use the core socialist values to guide the construction of social morality, professional ethics, family virtues, and personal morality, give full play to the powerful power of the core socialist values to unite the people's hearts and gather the people's strength, strive to seek the greatest common divisor, mobilize all positive factors to the greatest extent, and actively contribute wisdom and strength to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we need strong material strength as well as strong spiritual strength. On the new journey, it is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the masses to participate in reform and innovation, pool the wisdom and strength of the people into the cause of the party and the people, closely rely on the people to create new historical undertakings and create new historical glories, and provide a powerful spiritual impetus for promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization. Through extensive publicity of Chinese-style modernization, ideological and political education in colleges and universities clearly reflects the common long-cherished and enduring aspirations of the Chinese nation for modernization, pursuit of modernization, and forging ahead with modernization. It is necessary to give full play to the spiritual encouragement and action guidance functions of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities, take the major theoretical and practical problems of Chinese-style modernization as the guide, enlighten the ideals and beliefs, values and moral concepts of young students, extensively gather the wisdom and strength of the young generation, guide, mobilize and organize them to take on the glorious mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the attitude and responsibility of masters, and devote themselves more actively, more consciously and more actively to the great practice of promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization.
