[Continuous Report·Serve the Motherland and Make Contributions to the West]

"Students, how vast and beautiful the land under our feet is! For its development, such a group of respectable and lovely people have come from all over the world to write the chapter of struggle with their precious youth..." In the evening of spring, in the lecture hall of Bohu Middle School in Bayingoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, the emotional narrative of Ma Chuanqing, a college student who taught in college attracted more than 200 students from the audience to listen quietly.

This is a special lecture brought by the 26th Graduate Teaching Team of the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. They took typical figures in the Guangming Daily’s report on “Contributing to the West” as an example to share the dedication of the new era with their classmates.

"You may not have heard of 'Grandma' Wu Mingzhu, but you must have eaten the melons she raised! At the age of 95, she has worked hard in the melon fields in Xinjiang for more than 60 years, and cultivated more than 30 high-quality melon seeds, allowing the Chinese to realize the freedom to eat melons; Ren Jizhou, a 101-year-old scholar, was still working, he traveled all over the grasslands in the northwest and devoted his life to the ecological protection of the western region; there are also many young people, such as Li Weinan, a graduate of East China Normal University, who politely declined the invitation of schools in Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other places, and came to a rural school in Yunnan to become a special post teacher, and held up the dream of a mountain child with love and respect..." Ma Chuanqing told the story, interpreting the value and significance of "making contributions to the West" with fresh stories.

"These stories remind me of my parents." Sun Mengxiao, Grade 11, said, "They have been working in Xinjiang from Shandong for more than 20 years. Although they have not had earth-shaking achievements, they are all shining in their own positions. My brother is studying in Xinjiang Medical University, and he said he will stay in Xinjiang in the future. They are my role models. I will sprinkle sweat on this land that raised me like them." "Me too!" Jiang Li Hongxuan, Grade 10, Grade 10, took it After talking, "So many seniors are not afraid of hardships and take root in the Northwest. They don't retreat in the face of any difficulties. I admire them so much. I will work hard and contribute my strength to the West when I grow up."

Class Niu Zhiheng, Class 1, 8, looked at the college students who were teaching with bright eyes: "There are so many college students who care about and support us. With your company, I will be more motivated to study..."

In the "Cloud Lecture Hall", the students from the University of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences were also excited.

"Listen to the preaching, I remembered my days in the West again!" Lu Zehua, a doctoral student in the 2024 majoring in ideological and political education, worked in Tibet as a volunteer in the Western Program. He sighed, "The West is a university, where I left footprints of growth and gained unforgettable valuable memories for a lifetime. I believe that this is just the beginning of my relationship with this land..."

"This summer vacation, we are also going to set off! Now, the students are actively practicing their skills and preparing." Zhang Zhibo, a volunteer of the 27th Graduate Teaching Group, was full of longing.
