Implementing the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and talent

In the early autumn of 1935, during the critical moment of the Chinese nation, Zhang Boling, the president of Nankai University, asked three questions to all teachers and students at the opening ceremony. This famous "three questions about patriotism" is essentially asking the primary question of what kind of people education should cultivate.

"The fundamental issue of education is who, how and for whom to cultivate people. It is also the core issue of building an educational power." China is a socialist country under the leadership of the CPC, running socialist education, and cultivating people must establish the communist vision and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is the "virtue" we want to establish.

Encourage contemporary youth to live a meaningful life with beliefs, dreams, struggles, and dedication; Message to the students: "Strive to be a new generation capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, and forge ahead with courage and determination in the tide of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."; The General Secretary's earnest teachings instruct teachers and students to "cultivate students into what kind of person they should first become", guiding them to grow and make contributions in the hot practice of building a strong country and national rejuvenation in the new era, demonstrating a firm determination to listen to the Party and follow the Party, as well as an upward spirit.
