In order to further study and implement Xi Jinping Thought of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and comprehensively improve the ideological quality and theoretical level of active applicants and candidates for Party membership, QMES successfully carried out the first phase of 2022 Party course from May 9th to May 26th at Chang’an Campus. The Party course was comprised of 12 sessions, covering thematic Party lectures, study and discussion, practice teaching and tests on basic knowledge.
The first session was delivered by Dai Fuping, Secretary of the QMES Party Committee, for active Party applicants and Party candidates. Dai Fuping took “To Be a Good Youth of the Times and Become the Pride of QMES” as the title, and elaborated on three parts, namely, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s discussion on youth education, how to be a promising Chinese youth in the new era and how to win honour for QMES in the new era. Dai Fuping pointed out that we should always contribute to the development of QMES and NPU in terms of talent cultivation, further strengthen the combination of theoretical and practical education of the Party, and guide the active Party applicants and Party candidates to enhance the Party awareness and political accomplishment. It is hoped that the potential Party members can stick to the determination of joining the Party, strictly require themselves to meet the standards of Party members and play an exemplary role for their peers.
Besides, the teacher Gao Hongbo introduced the book the Communist Party of China in 1920 to students, which followed the development of the Party with the major historical events as the timeline, provided a panoramic review of the great progress and brilliant achievements of the Party, and emphatically explained the original intention and mission of the Party. This lecture deepened the students’ understanding and memory of the Party history, and helped the students to carry forward the fine qualities of Party members who took root at the grassroots level, established bonds with the masses, maintained firm will and worked hard.
Genuine knowledge comes from practice. In order to help the students set up the correct motivation to join the Party and improve their Party and political consciousness, classroom teaching and practical activities should be leveraged at the same time. QMES also arranged two classes of about 200 students divided into four groups to visit the History Hall of NPU. By learning the founding history of NPU, the students admired the academic style and advantages of NPU, and realized that NPU always takes national rejuvenation and national development of science and technology as its own responsibilities. NPU has nurtured talents all over the country, focuses on teaching and scientific research, cultivates many elites of the motherland and makes outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology in national defence and the national economy. Following the principle of serving the people wholeheartedly, Party members from generation to generation have never been afraid of difficulties and forged ahead to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In addition, the teacher Chen Chengping centred on the fundamental principle of the CPC, explained the nature and purpose of the Party, and instructed the students to adhere to the people-oriented approach and always stand on the same front with the masses, so as to better unite all forces and lead the nation forward.
Cheng Yin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of QMES, gave a thematic Party lecture to students with the title of “Never Forget the Original Mission, and to be a Qualified Student Party Member”. Focusing on the Party’s original aspiration, she first introduced the intentions and missions of Chinese Communist Party members in different historical periods. Secondly, she discussed the importance of sticking to the original mission from the historical view, the historical background and the individual differences of Party members. Finally, she encouraged all potential Party members to contemplate their deficiencies, always bear in mind their original mission, never forget the motivation to join the Party, firmly establish the purpose of serving the people, get close to the Party from mind to action, and be a qualified member of the CPC.
All of us shall never forget our original aspiration and founding mission. In his 2022 New Year address, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: “one could only marvel at the extraordinary journey travelled by this major Party, a journey of Chinese Communists leading the Chinese people, in their hundreds of millions, in an unyielding struggle against all obstacles and challenges, and scoring spectacular, epoch-making achievements over the past century. To accomplish our great mission, we must always remain true to our original aspiration. Only through vigorous and determined endeavour can we fulfil our responsibility to history, prove worthy of our times and live up to people’s expectations.”
After theoretical education, group discussion, practice teaching and other activities, the first training course for active Party applicants and Party candidates held by the Party Committee of QMES has come to a successful end, and the ideological consciousness and political accomplishment of the students have been greatly improved. It is hoped that in the coming life, the students will not forget the original intention of joining the Party, have the courage to practice the fundamental purpose of the Party, carry on the great spirit of founding the Party (upholding truth and ideals, staying true to its founding mission, fighting without fear nor danger, and meeting the people’s expectations), and become qualified members of the CPC as soon as possible.
