On the occasion of the "June 5" International Children's Day, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to Beijing Yuying School on the morning of May 31 to visit teachers and students and congratulate the vast number of children across the country. Xi Jinping stressed that children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the Chinese nation. In the new era, Chinese children should be good children with aspirations, dreams, love learning, love labor, know gratitude, know how to be friendly, dare to innovate and struggle, and develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and laboriously. It is hoped that the students will be determined to study for the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, and live up to the expectations of their parents, the party and the people.
Cai Qi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, accompanied the visit.
Beijing Yuying School was founded in 1948 in Xibaipo, Hebei Province, formerly known as "Yuying Primary School of the Ministry of Supply, an organ directly under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China". Over the past 75 years, under the care and care of the older generation of revolutionaries, the school has fully implemented the party's education policy, implemented the fundamental task of cultivating morality and cultivating people, implemented the innovation of the academic system, carried out characteristic schooling, and led the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development.
When Xi Jinping came to the school, he first walked into the school history museum to understand the school's historical evolution, construction development and recent years to promote education and teaching reform and innovation, implement the "double reduction" policy requirements, and promote the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development. Xi Jinping pointed out that the fundamental task of education is to cultivate people with virtue and cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. The cultivation of students' ideals and beliefs, moral character, intellectual intelligence, physical and psychological qualities is indispensable. There is a process for the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, and it will take a long time to achieve success. It is necessary to guide parents, schools, society and other aspects to raise awareness, promote the implementation of the "double reduction" work requirements, and promote the all-round development of students. Yuying School has a glorious revolutionary tradition and distinctive red genes. It is necessary to strengthen the education of revolutionary traditions, so that every student of Yuying School will remember the glorious history of the school, remember the care of the party, continue the red tradition, inherit the red gene, listen to the party from an early age, follow the party, and be determined to become a talent for the party and contribute to the country.
Xi Jinping inspects the campus environment on foot. On the basketball court, students are playing basketball, skipping rope, and taking physical education classes. Xi Jinping pointed out that to improve people's health quality, adolescents are the golden period. At this stage, a long body is the first, and a good body can lay a good foundation for the study and work of the future life. Physical exercise is the most effective means to enhance the physical fitness of children and adolescents. Now that the living conditions are better, children are not to eat fat, but to grow strong and practice well. Physical exercise should be grasped from a young age, more physical exercise, less "little fat mound" and "small glasses". Schools should match physical education teachers well, and families, schools, society and other aspects should create conditions for children to enhance their physical fitness.
Later, Xi Jinping came to the student farm. This is a practical place for students to carry out agricultural planting activities, and rows of green vegetable seedlings are vibrant in the sun and on the ridges. Children with buckets, shovels, rakes, brushes, watering, loosening, weeding, pollinating tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Xi Jinping stressed that a lot of knowledge and truth comes from labor and life. Guide children to establish a concept of labor from an early age, cultivate labor habits, and improve their ability to work, which is conducive to them better learning knowledge. Now some urban children have little contact with the countryside and nature, not only "the four bodies are not diligent", but also "the five grains are not divided", they do not know what to eat, where they come from, and how they come from, let alone experience that "who knows that the food on the plate is hard". He told the students that to understand nature, we must first start by understanding the plants around us. Although the various plants cultivated by the students are introduced in the books, the harvest must be different if they are planted by themselves, cultivated and observed by themselves. It is hoped that students will feel the hardships of farming and the difficulties of farmers from "learning agriculture", develop good habits of loving labor, cherishing food and respecting nature from an early age, and contribute to the construction of a beautiful China. The construction of ecological civilization in the new era should start from the doll, and through the vivid and lively labor experience course, let the children hands-on, experience and self-realize, so that the concept of "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains" can be implanted in children's hearts as early as possible.
Xi Jinping walked into the classroom, and the teachers and students told the general secretary that they were using the knowledge they had learned about linear motion, curved motion, and inclined plane movement to build a roller coaster model with bricks for verification. Xi Jinping pointed out that science experiment classes are an effective way to cultivate children's scientific thinking, explore unknown interests and innovative awareness. It is hoped that students will establish the aspiration of "scientific and technological innovation, strong country has me" from an early age, be brave to be a small scientist now, strive to be a big scientist in the future, and contribute to the realization of China's high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
Xi Jinping then came to the fifth-grade teacher's office to visit the teachers who were discussing lesson preparation, and inquired about the structure of the after-school service curriculum. Xi Jinping pointed out that the socialist education system with Chinese characteristics is good, China's basic education has advantages in the world, we must strengthen cultural self-confidence, adhere to their own good things, learn from good foreign things, keep pace with the times, open development, let children have a broader vision, broader thinking, more open concepts, and strive to cultivate a pillar of the country worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation and the courage to create a world miracle. Xi Jinping stressed that the key to talent training lies in teachers. The vast number of teachers should keep in mind the original mission of educating people for the party and the country, take the people's educators as their example, and stand up with virtue, learn with virtue, and teach with virtue. It is necessary to create a good trend of respecting teachers and valuing teaching in the whole society, so that teachers become the most respected and enviable profession in society, and strive to form a good situation in which outstanding talents compete to teach and excellent teachers continue to emerge.
In the small square of the school, teachers and students warmly bid farewell to the general secretary. Xi Jinping wished the children a strong and healthy future, and congratulated the vast number of children across the country on Happy International Children's Day. He said, today I came to Beijing Yuying School to visit everyone and celebrate Children's Day with the children. I was very happy to see the students who were innocent and energetic, with happy smiles on their faces. The Party Central Committee has always cared about the healthy growth of children and adopted a series of policies and measures to create a better environment for the healthy growth of children. I believe that with the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the remarkable advantages of the socialist system, children of all ethnic groups living in the big family of the Chinese nation will surely become happier and happier, and will certainly have a better future. Party committees, governments at all levels, and all sectors of society should earnestly do a good job in all work related to the development of children's causes, show concern for and help children from families in difficulty, especially orphans and disabled children, so that all children can feel the warmth of the Party and the government and have a happy and beautiful childhood.
Xi Jinping told the students that today's children are the successors and the main force of the future of the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. In order to build our country into a modern socialist power in an all-round way by the middle of this century, our generation is now working hard, and the future depends on you to continue to struggle.
Xi Jinping wishes parents good health and family happiness, and wishes teachers to make new contributions in sacred posts.
