Mr. Zhou Shiqiu is one of the founders and pioneers of the restoration and development of the discipline of administrative management in China after the reform and opening up. In March 1979, Deng Xiaoping pointed out at the Party's theoretical work retreat that "the study of political science, law, sociology, and world politics has been neglected for many years, and now we also need to make up for it as soon as possible." In 1982, Zhou Shiqiu published an article calling for the restoration of administrative science, "An Neglected Discipline - Administrative Management.". Since then, Zhou Shiqiu has been active in the field of administration and political science in China, making lifelong contributions to the reconstruction of the discipline of administration and the research of socialist administrative management with Chinese characteristics after the reform and opening up.

At the meeting, Mr. Zhou Shiqiu's family, more than 50 representatives of academic experts, and more than 100 teachers and students gathered together to reminisce about his life story, academic thoughts, and noble character. Yu Jianyong, president of Donghua University and academician of the CAE Member, presided over the commemorative meeting. Liu Chenggong, secretary of the Party Committee of Donghua University, Ren Xiaowen, member of the Party Leadership Group and full-time vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Social Federation, Wen Jianfei, secretary of the Nanxun District Party Committee of Huzhou City, Bao Jing, vice president of the Chinese Association of Administration, Zhu Chunkui, vice president and secretary-general of the Shanghai Municipal Association of Administration, Chen Qun, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic League, chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Democratic League, and vice chairman of the Shanghai.

Mr. Zhou Shiqiu's great grandson and Chairman and CEO of Sunshine Seven Star Investment Group, Wu Zheng, summarized his grandfather's glorious life with 18 words: "In his early years, he went abroad to seek knowledge, in his middle years, he studied diligently, and in his later years, he laid the foundation diligently.". He said that his maternal grandfather lived a simple and dignified life, and his patriotism, worldly talents, and moral character were inexhaustible spiritual treasures for future generations.

Mr. Zhou Shiqiu's academic spirit of seeking truth, pragmatism, and innovation has left a profound mark in the fields of Chinese management and public management. During the seminar, the attending experts delved into the path and methods of constructing discourse systems in Chinese management and public management.

Ding Huang, co convener of the Public Management Discipline Evaluation Group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and specially appointed professor of the "Luojia Scholars" at Wuhan University, pointed out in his speech "Strengthening Comparative Research and Enhancing Civilized Mutual Learning - Reflections on the Construction of Public Management Discipline" that the construction of China's independent philosophical and social scientific knowledge system, especially the independent knowledge system of Chinese public management, requires further emphasis on the value of civilized mutual learning. The innovative development of public management discipline in China in the new era should not only focus on summarizing the laws based on empirical research on Chinese public management, but also on long-term accumulated experience and wisdom in governance. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen comparative research on public management studies in different countries and enhance mutual learning among civilizations.

"Mr. Zhou Shiqiu believes that the important sign of administrative management reform is to move from the old overly centralized and segmented closed administrative system to a new service-oriented and macro coordinated open administrative model. Administrative management reform needs to dialectically handle the imbalance in the four pairs of relationships: economic system reform and administrative management reform, central and local administrative reform, micro administrative reform and macro administrative reform, and administrative management reform and management theory research. Administrative management reform needs to focus on the 'momentum', 'degree', and 'sequence', among others. Professor Li Qi, part-time vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Social Sciences, former vice minister of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, and former vice president of the China Association of Administrative Management, elaborated in detail." Mr. Zhou Shiqiu's administrative management ideas, and pointed out that Mr. Zhou once summarized the importance of China's administrative management reform as "the foundation of the country's rise and fall, the link of the 'Four Modernizations' construction, and the basis of people's lives." This viewpoint still has important practical significance to this day.

Researcher Shen Guilong, Director of the Institute of World Chinese Studies at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, analyzes the reform of state-owned enterprises from the perspective of management, with the topic of "Management Issues and Reform Ideas in the Modernization Process of State owned Enterprises". He believes that in the process of modernizing state-owned enterprises, it is necessary to clarify four major relationships: the relationship between enterprise party organizations and other governance entities; The relationship between market competition mechanism and risk management mechanism of state-owned enterprises; The relationship between mixed ownership incentive mechanism and state-owned enterprise regulation; The relationship between enterprise competitive neutrality and state-owned enterprise management.

He Renlong, Dean and Senior Engineer of Shanghai Process Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Innovation Research Institute, pointed out that the promotion of open administrative models, cross departmental coordination, and macro financial management are all important aspects in the digital governance process. In the overall layout planning of digital China construction, it is necessary to strengthen the foundation of digital infrastructure and data resource system.

At the meeting, the "Academic Collected Works of Zhou Shiqiu" was released for the first time. Mr. Zhou Shiqiu's daughter, Zhou Li, attended the meeting.
