Interview Team: Professor Long Bing and Peiwen, hello!
On the afternoon of September 17, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Yuelu Academy of Hunan University in the rain. Please recall the scene at that time.
Long Bing: On the afternoon of September 17, when the autumn rain fell, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Yuelu Academy, which has been full of songs for thousands of years.
At that time, I was teaching ideological and political courses to the students in the Museum of China Academy. When I saw the general secretary walking towards us, the scene was boiling: "General secretary, welcome to Hunan University!" "General secretary, you have worked hard!"
The general secretary smiled and waved to the classmates, and greeted everyone cordially: "Hello, classmates!" We quickly went up to meet the general secretary and surrounded the general secretary.
When the general secretary learned that we were conducting live teaching at the Academy Museum, he was very interested and asked me what class I was teaching with a smile.
"Hello, General Secretary! I am here to teach students ideological and political courses, and talk about the Sinicization of Marxism." I reported to the general secretary, "For many years, we have been using the 'mobile classroom' method to carry out practical teaching of ideological and political courses. "
The general secretary asked: "What is the specific format of your mobile ideological and political course?"
I introduced: "Mobile ideological and political classrooms are teaching based on real situations. We are now integrating historical and cultural resources inside and outside the school, moving ideological and political classrooms from classrooms to society, and organically combining small ideological and political classrooms with large social classrooms. Yuelu Academy It is a patriotic education base and a traditional Chinese culture education base, and I happened to be teaching here today."
The general secretary is very concerned about the development of the school's ideological and political courses, and then asked: "Is the current students' ideological and political courses compulsory or optional?"
I replied: "It is compulsory! There are special credits, and every student must take ideological and political courses!"
The general secretary immediately turned to the classmates and asked, "Do you think the teachers of ideological and political courses are good at teaching? Do you usually like taking ideological and political courses?"
The students answered in unison: "I like it!"
The general secretary smiled and said, "Do you really like it?"
The classmates all laughed happily, and replied: "I really like it!" "The teachers are very good!" "The mobile ideological and political class we are participating in now is the school's excellent ideological and political class, and we all cherish it. next chance!"
The general secretary guided our ideological and political courses on the spot and praised us. He said: "Ideological and political courses are the key courses to implement the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating people. Hunan University must do it well. To run ideological and political courses well is to think about it. New, innovative classroom teaching; deep feelings, cultivate a group of young people with family and country feelings. Ideological and political teaching should organically combine classroom teaching with practical teaching. Comrade Mao Zedong once lived in Yuelu Academy, and I believe that his idea of seeking truth from facts comes from Yuelu Academy. Your Hunan University's motto is also 'seeking truth from facts', and I hope you can practice it well. We must strengthen self-confidence in the road, theory, system, and culture. Among them, cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader, and deeper self-confidence. Contemporary students must further strengthen their cultural self-confidence in the process of inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture!" "Your teaching is the right way!"
Guan Peiwen: The general secretary gave us a profound and vivid "ideological and political lesson" on the spot.
Combining vivid examples such as "Erguotou and Vodka", he told us the connotation and process of the sinicization of Marxism, analyzed why history and people chose the Chinese Communist Party, and put forward expectations for us to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
The general secretary said that Comrade Mao Zedong was a loyal Marxist and was deeply influenced by five thousand years of traditional Chinese culture. fit.
The general secretary also listed concepts that we are familiar with, such as "well-off" and "community with a shared future for mankind", and pointed out that these concepts are all derived from cultural classics and originated from the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
He taught us to take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must be deeply rooted in the fertile soil of China's culture, strengthen our cultural self-confidence, and do not "speak Greece".
After the inspection, the general secretary walked out of the academy museum surrounded by everyone.
When the general secretary walked out of the gate of Yuelu Academy, thunderous applause and shouts broke out immediately, and the scene was very shocking.
While smiling, the general secretary pointed to the classmates and said, "Look, there are so many talented people!" It turned out that when the teachers and students heard that the general secretary came to Lake University, they came from the laboratory, library, classroom, and dormitory one after another. More than 3,000 people gathered on the front ping of the auditorium of Hunan University, opposite Yuelu Academy.
"General Secretary, we love you!" "Hello General Secretary!" Everyone cheered excitedly, witnessing this unforgettable moment together.
Interview Team: Professor Long Bing, General Secretary Xi mentioned that the young Mao Zedong once lived in Yuelu Academy and was influenced by the "seek truth from facts" plaque in front of the lecture hall. Can you elaborate?
Long Bing: General Secretary Xi pointed out in his speech at the symposium commemorating the 120th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Mao Zedong: "The living soul of Mao Zedong Thought is the stand, viewpoint and method that run through it. They have three basic aspects, which are seeking truth from facts, the mass line, Independence.” Seeking truth from facts means starting from reality, integrating theory with practice, and insisting on testing and developing truth in practice.
This is the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism and the fundamental requirement for Chinese Communists to understand and transform the world.
In 1917, Hunan Public Industrial College (one of the predecessors of Hunan University) moved to the former site of Yuelu Academy. Principal Bin Bucheng took "seeking truth from facts" as the school motto, and a plaque was hung in the lecture hall, which later evolved into today's school motto of Hunan University "seek truth from facts, dare to people first".
Comrade Mao Zedong's father-in-law, Mr. Yang Changji, was a professor at Yuelu Academy. In 1917 and 1919, Comrade Mao Zedong lived in Yuelu Academy twice. This plaque is hung high opposite Comrade Mao Zedong's residence.
The cultural spirit contained in "seeking truth from facts" had an important influence on the young Mao Zedong.
In the article "Reforming Our Learning", Comrade Mao Zedong gave a scientific explanation of "seeking truth from facts": "'facts' are all things that exist objectively, 'yes' are the internal connections of objective things, that is, regularity, 'seeking' It's us to study." In November 1943, Comrade Mao Zedong inscribed the school motto "seeking truth from facts" for the Central Party School in Yan'an when the auditorium was completed.
In 1945, he inscribed the words "seek truth from facts and avoid empty talk" in the seven commemorative albums.
In the long-term revolutionary practice, the idea of "seeking truth from facts" has gradually become the living soul and essence of Mao Zedong Thought.
The important exposition of the general secretary on tracing the source of the ideological line of seeking truth from facts has raised the historical status of Yuelu Academy to a new height.
In the future, we will do a good job in the study of Yuelu Academy and the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, deeply explore the spiritual characteristics and ideological connotations of Huxiang culture, such as applying the world, preaching to the people, and seeking truth from facts, vigorously promote the new era value of Huxiang culture, and cultivate talents. Highland, cultivate newcomers of the era who are responsible for national rejuvenation!
Interview Team: Gu Xinyu, hello!
I heard that General Secretary Xi humorously used "Erguotou and vodka" as an example when he talked about the integration of Marxism with the concrete reality of China.
Can you share with us?
Gu Xinyu: The general secretary is approachable and his speech is very humorous, so we can understand it all at once.
When he taught us the content of the Sinicization of Marxism, he mentioned that Marxism spread to the Soviet Union and became Leninism and Stalinism; the October Revolution once again introduced Marxism to China.
He said: "The early "Communist Manifesto" was mainly the Soviet version seen by a group of revolutionaries in the Soviet Union. At that time, the Chinese communists were mostly influenced by the ideology of Soviet Bolshevism, as we all know 'Twenty-eight and a half' 'Well, they take things from the Soviet Union and use them directly. It's like we are used to drinking baijiu and Erguotou, but they are used to drinking vodka, so they won't adapt. Although the intention is good, leading the Chinese revolution in this way is not in line with China's actual situation. It will fail." At that time, when we mentioned "Erguotou and vodka", the general secretary and we both laughed, and the atmosphere of the audience was instantly ignited.
This "Erguotou and Vodka" example left a deep impression on me.
The general secretary said that he himself has studied Marxism in depth through continuous practice.
He told us that in the process of learning Marxism, we must combine concrete reality and social practice to learn.
Interview Team: Liu Yihan, hello!
I heard that General Secretary Xi had a new interpretation of the "Si" here when he said that "only Chu has talents, and Si is prosperous".
Can you share with us?
Liu Yihan: When the general secretary was about to leave the campus, he stood at the gate of Yuelu Academy and expressed his hopes and blessings to the students in front of the auditorium.
The general secretary said: "It's a pleasure to meet you. It reminds me of the two sentences of Yuelu Academy, 'Only Chu has talents, and it is prosperous'." "I say this 'yes are prosperous', and 'Si' not only refers to the original meaning The expression 'this place', in the current context, also refers to 'this era'." "We Huxiang children, your age is at the right time, 20 to 30 years old, our second century to 2050, still For 30 years, you should be the backbone of this era to take over the baton."
The general secretary said affectionately: "The new era is an era of heroes, and young people are at the right time. I hope that the students will live up to their youth, their youth, and the times, cherish the time to study hard, master knowledge, and establish correct World outlook, outlook on life, values, fasten the first button of life, walk the path of life well, and contribute wisdom and wisdom to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
"Only Chu has talents, and this is prosperous." This is the inspiration of the predecessors of Yuelu Academy to the students in Hunan, and it is also the goal that our descendants will follow.
According to General Secretary Xi's interpretation, "the prosperity of the world" is not limited to the academy or Chu, but to everyone in this era.
We must bear in mind the general secretary's entrustment to "live up to our youth, our youth, and our times" and become a powerful generation!
Interview Team: Professor Long Bing, General Secretary Xi has talked many times that the study of Marxism should be combined with the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Please share with us your understanding of this.
Long Bing: General Secretary Xi stressed that the study of Marxism should be combined with the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Only when Marxism is sinicized can the light of truth shine on the land of China.
The process of Sinicization of Marxism is also the process of combining Marxism with the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years.
If we want to truly understand and master Marxism, we cannot break away from the five thousand years of civilization history of the Chinese nation, break away from the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and cannot study Marxism one-sidedly and in isolation.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism.
In the book "Xi Jinping: The Governance of the Country", a large number of excellent traditional Chinese cultural classics are quoted.
In the process of in-depth study of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we must closely integrate the civilization history of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, combine with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, deeply root in our cultural fertile soil, and deeply understand Marxism The inner truth of Sinicization is to use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to cast the soul and educate people.
