General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during the inspection of Renmin University of China that universities should “implement the most basic tasks of cultivating morality and cultivating people, inherit the red gene, and take root in China to run universities.” , The majority of young people must “strive to become new people of the era who are worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation.” To cultivate new people in the era, we must inherit the red gene and give full play to the guiding, shaping and nurturing functions of the red gene. Only in this way can we truly solve the most basic problems of “cultivating people for whom, what people to educate, and how to educate people”. The key to effectively integrating red genes into the training process of new generations is to do four tasks well.
Arouse historical memory
Any nation All have a history, and the overall historical memory of all people in a nation transcends the “experience space” of the individual. It puts the nation in the “past” The experience, culture and common pursuit formed in ET Escorts’ practice are connected with the emotions of individuals in reality and give individuals social responsibilities. Only by remembering history can a nation cherish the present and create a better future. For newcomers in the education era, the history of the party’s leadership of the people’s revolution is not only the best textbook, but also the best nutrition. To integrate the red gene into the process of educating people in colleges and universities, we must first arouse the red historical memory of college students.
First, we must make good use of white capital. The Chinese Communist Party won the victory of the revolution after a long and bloody struggle. The sparks ignited by the Party during the revolution burned all over the country, leaving behind a large number of red ruins, ruins and relics wherever it passed. Each ruin tells the story of a A touching story, a ruins condensing an unforgettable time, and a relic shining with a shameful original intention. These red resources bear in mind the entire historical memory of the Chinese nation and interpret the unyielding revolutionary spirit of the Chinese Communists. , is the main carrier of the party’s white gene. In the process of educating people in colleges and universities, it is necessary to give full play to the intermediary function of red resources. Through the intermediary of red resources, college students can touch the pulse of revolutionary history across time and space, and the red historical memory can be rooted in the hearts of college students.
Second, we must tell white stories well. The red story is a historical narrative of the party’s revolutionary implementation, permeated with strong emotions, containing profound truth, and carrying precious spirit. Telling red stories is an important way to inherit the red gene. Compared with abstract and profound theories, stories have characteristics such as concreteness, liveliness, and freshness, and it is not difficult to form memories in people’s minds. Therefore, in the process of cultivating new people of the times, it is necessary to tell red stories well.Especially in ideological and political courses, which are a key course for cultivating morality and cultivating people, “it is very important to be able to tell stories and tell good stories.” Of course, telling red stories should not stop at describing events, but also remind people of the profound truths contained in the stories. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The essence of ideological and political courses is to talk about truth.” Only by explaining the truth deeply and thoroughly can memory be sublimated and the red gene be passed on.
Third, we must promote white civilization. The party led the people to achieve great success in the new democratic revolution, and also created red civilization in the process of the revolution. Red culture not only absorbs the essence of China’s fine traditional culture, but also gives birth to advanced socialist culture. It embodies the value pursuit, glorious tradition and spiritual style of the Chinese Communists. It is rooted in the party’s revolutionary practice and is closely related to the specific Connect with the surrounding situations, people, and events in history. Promoting red culture is inseparable from the historical narrative of the party’s revolutionary implementation. Through historical narratives, red culture can not only pull Close the distance between history and reality, expand students’ historical understanding, and help create “learning history and understanding” The atmosphere can enhance the historical perception of college students, thereby achieving the purpose of arousing red historical memories.
Strengthen political identity
Political identity is Political emotions, which are basically composed of political cognition, are the main basis for shaping political personality. Red historical memory belongs to the category of political cognition. Simple memory evocation is only the transmission and reproduction of historical knowledge, and only emotional identification can occur. Only then can the ideal political personality be formed and the red gene truly inherited. Political identity includes national identity, party identity, system identity, and policy identity. The most important thing is to integrate the red gene into the college education process and strengthen the political identity of college students in three aspects.
First, strengthen the practical recognition of Marxism. Marxism is the firm belief of the Chinese Communists. In modern China, it was precisely because the pioneers of the Communist Party discovered Marxism that the Chinese people’s exploration of the future of the country ushered in a new dawn, the face of the Chinese revolution took on a new look, and the Marxist beliefs of the Communists were deeply integrated into the white people.Among the color genes. In the process of revolution, construction, and reform, the Chinese Communists inherited the red gene and continuously promoted the sinicization of Marxism. Because they adhered to Marxism based on China’s reality, the party was able to blaze a trail and create brilliance, and ushered in the new era of the Chinese nation. Stand up, get rich, and leave the great rush of becoming strong. To cultivate new people of the times, we must fully explore the truth contained in the party’s glorious history and great achievements over the past century, guide college students to deeply understand the theoretical power of Marxism, and strengthen their recognition of Marxist theory.
The second is to strengthen the recognition of political ideals. “Once the Communist Party of China was founded, it regarded the realization of communism as the party’s highest ideal and ultimate goal, and shouldered the historical task of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation without hesitation.” The belief in realizing communism and national rejuvenation inspired countless revolutionaries The martyrs fought bravely and died magnanimously, which constitutes the important connotation of the red gene. In the process of realizing political ideals, the party opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since then, socialism with Chinese characteristics has gradually become the common ideal of people of all ethnic groups in China. “Youth’s ideals and beliefs are related to the future of the country.” To cultivate newcomers of the era, we must focus on institutional advantages and path confidence, and strengthen college students’ understanding of the lofty ideals of communism, the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the great ideal of national rejuvenation. Agree.
The third is to strengthen the identification of the core socialist values. The core values of socialism are both a value goal and a value norm. As a value goal, the socialist core values are rooted in the soil of red culture and embody the value demands of red genes. The national development situation, social progress level and personal moral level they describe are exactly the fervor of the revolutionary martyrs. look forward to. As a standard of value, the core socialist values express the development requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics and provide a set of value principles for state governance, social relations and personal behavior. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The majority of young people should be firm believers, active disseminators, and model practitioners of the core values of socialism.” To cultivate new people of the era, we must guide college students to learn from heroes, advanced students, and role models. Learn and strengthen your identification with the core values of socialism.
Refining good moral character
Cultivating worthy The new generation of the times, who bear the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, is to educate people for the party and the country. They must cultivate excellent moral and political ethics on the basis of strengthening political identity. Political identity includes the value orientation and spiritual strength of the red gene, which provides direction and motivation for the formation of moral and political morality. Morality and political morality are the core elements of political personality. Only by forming excellent moral and political morality can shaping outFantasy political personality. Integrating red genes into the education process of colleges and universities requires tempering the moral and political ethics of college students.
On the one hand, we must temper our noble moral character. Morality is the foundation of being a human being and is also an important cornerstone of political morality. If a person has weak moral character, he cannot have noble political morality and a sound political personality. “A person cannot be established without morality, and the most foundation of educating people is to cultivate morality.” Only by constantly cultivating character and laying a solid foundation of morality can college students go more righteously and further on the road of life and accept the responsibility of the people. The close family restores the burden. To cultivate newcomers of the era, we must master the three links of tempering the moral character of college students. One is to form the right moral cognition. It is necessary to guide college students to grasp social moral standards, establish correct concepts of good and evil, improve their moral judgment ability, and be good at discovering the beauty of morality from heroes and model figures. The second is to maintain spontaneous moral development. It is necessary to guide college students to internalize socialist moral standards into their own moral psychological structure, form a stable moral character, turn “high morality, abiding by private morality, and strict private morality” into their own lifestyle and develop good behaviors habit. The third is to carry out active moral practice. It is necessary to guide college students to conduct moral evaluations, actively promote the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the excellent moral character in red culture, advocate and lead good moral habits, and improve their own moral cultivation in moral practice.
On the other hand, we must temper our strong political character. Political morality affects and restricts political behavior and reflects the level of moral cultivation. It is an important quality that new people in the era must have when shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation. College students are different from primary and secondary students in that their level of political socialization is relatively high, their attributes of “political people” are relatively prominent, and their political thoughts are relatively mature. In the entire school education period, the university stage is a critical stage for cultivating political morality. , we must grasp the characteristics and laws of ideological and political education at this stage, and do a good job in tempering political morality. First, strengthen the “four self-confidences” of college students. Confidence in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the basic political quality that college students should have. Only by adhering to the “four self-confidences” can college students consciously inherit the red gene and improve their political literacy. Second, we must create the political consciousness of “listening to the Party and following the Party”. Listening to the Party and following the Party is the fine tradition of the Party and the core political morality that newcomers of the era should possess. Only by unswervingly listening to the Party and following the Party can college students maintain the right direction of progress and not Strive to perfect your political personality. Third, cultivate a sincere love for the mainland. Patriotism is a noble political virtue and the bright background of the white gene. “For Chinese youth in the new era, loving the mainland is the foundation of their character and success.” Only by loving the mainland can they combine their future with theThe destiny of the country and the nation is closely linked, and their political morality and spiritual realm are improved.
Strengthen the spirit of responsibility
National rejuvenation Heavy responsibilities call for a spirit of responsibility, and only by having the courage to shoulder the responsibilities can we realize our great ideals. Since modern times, the Chinese Communist Party has bravely shouldered the responsibilities of the times in order to realize national rejuvenation. Their sense of responsibility of daring to pioneer, dare to struggle, and be willing to contribute has been accumulated in the spiritual blood of the Party and has become an important part of the red gene. To cultivate new people of the era who are worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation, we must integrate red genes into the education process of colleges and universities and strengthen the spirit of responsibility of college students.
First, we must cultivate feelings about our family and country. The feelings of family and country embody the noble sentiments of caring for the country and the nation, and the responsibility and responsibility of the world. Only when a person has deep feelings of family and country can he break out of the “individual” thought circle and integrate into the “New Year” The rise and fall of honor and disgrace of “self”, reaching the spiritual state of “selflessness”. It is necessary to enhance the sense of social responsibility of college students and guide them to “measure the inland land with their footsteps, discover the Chinese spirit with their eyes, listen to the voice of the people with their ears, feel the pulse of the times with their hearts, and treat the inland blood as thicker than water.” The sentiment of sharing the same destiny with the people runs through the entire academic process and is integrated in the pursuit of work.” It is necessary to inspire the enterprising spirit of college students, guide them to establish great ambitions, become talents, broaden their horizons, improve their styles, and focus on the future of the country and the destiny of the nation instead of “hiding in small groups.” “The building becomes unified” and trivial comparison of personal gains and losses.
Second, we must establish a solid awareness of contribution. Contribution is a value orientation and a social obligation. The value of life lies in contribution, and a life that can contribute is a meaningful life; the prosperity of a country depends on contribution. It is precisely because of the contributions of one generation after another that a country can move from poverty and weakness to prosperity. It is necessary to intensify the education of totalitarianism for college students, guide them to establish a scientific worldview, outlook on life, and values, and correctly treat the relationship between righteousness and benefit, the relationship between public and private, and the individual. In relation to the country and society, we regard “seeking happiness for the majority of people” as our own happiness, regard the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country and nation as our own role models, and firmly establish the principle of “contributing to the mainland and the people” concept. It is necessary to strengthen the determination of college students to fight for national rejuvenation, guide college students to draw fighting strength from the red gene, practice hard in the ability to serve the country and the people, and integrate their ideals with the future of the country and the nation. We should be closely connected with our destiny, integrate our personal struggles into the work of the party and the people, and be determined to be the most beautiful fighter in the new era, “let youth serve the mainland, the nation, the people, and the people” Humanity’s unremitting struggle”Magnificent flowers bloom in it.”
Third, we must sharpen our strong will. Will is a kind of psychological quality. Only when a person has a strong will can he make unremitting efforts and shoulder heavy responsibilities. To realize the Chinese nation To achieve great recovery, we need to deal with major risks and challenges, and overcome many difficulties and resistances. We must carry forward the spirit of responsibility of the Chinese Communists and revolutionary martyrs, and hone their strong will in practice to temper the courage of college students to face difficulties and lead the new year. Mr. Ye learns from heroic models, correctly treats the difficulties and setbacks in life, develops the psychological quality of being unfazed, and always maintains an optimistic and upward mental state in the face of difficulties and resistance. It is necessary to sharpen the fighting spirit of college students and lead the new generation. Mr. Ye continued the revolutionary spirit of pioneering and enterprising and courageous struggle of the Chinese Communists, constantly improved his ability to withstand setbacks in practice, and was able to withstand failures and pressure, determined to make unremitting efforts for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
