　　On March 18, General Secretary Xi Jinping made his first local inspection after the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress. The first stop was at this school, which is known as "a thousand-year institution of learning and a century-old normal school."

On March 18, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Hunan First Normal College (Chengnan Academy Campus).

　　A photo freezes the moment when the general secretary inspected the campus.

In the photo, the school motto "To be a teacher of the people, first be a student of the people" is particularly eye-catching.

　　This famous school motto was inscribed by Comrade Mao Zedong for his alma mater in 1950.

Comrade Mao Zedong spent eight years here, transforming from a young student and teacher into a professional revolutionary.

　　This school became one of the birthplaces of the Chinese communist movement and the new democratic revolution, as well as the germination of Mao Zedong Thought and the birthplace of the Sinicization of Marxism.

　　Looking at the red history of Hunan First Normal University, we can see that a large number of revolutionary ancestors such as Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, He Shuheng, Ren Bishi, and Li Weihan emerged here during the turbulent years.

　　"Red" is the brightest background color of Hunan First Normal University, the red school history is the most vivid teaching material of Hunan First Normal University, and the red tradition has become the most powerful educational gene of Hunan First Normal University.

　　When he came to Hunan First Normal University this time, General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on understanding the school's good use of red resources and its insistence on cultivating moral integrity and cultivating people.

　　Today, a hundred years later, when you walk into the "red cradle" of the Chinese revolution, you can still see red marks everywhere.

　　School History Museum, Normal Education Center, Huaizhong Building, Runhuan Building, Teli Building, Runzhi Square, Dongfanghong Square, Bishi Road, Weihan Road... there are red landmarks everywhere, and there are red elements everywhere.

Classroom of Hunan First Normal University (Chengnan Academy Campus).

　　The auditorium, Class 8 classroom, ancient cold bath well, self-study room, newspaper reading room, gentleman's pavilion... On the campus, 14 red commemorative spots and countless red historical stories connect the passionate years of more than a hundred years ago.

　　Every brick, tile, plant and tree here reminds the world that Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen and a large number of revolutionary ancestors studied here to clarify their aspirations and explore the truth.

　　Today, the red imprint has constructed a spiritual magnetic field that nurtures the souls of red teachers in this "thousand-year institution".

　　The first week of the new year's enrollment is the time for all new students of Hunan First Normal University to binge-watch the TV series "The Boy Who Meets Me".

Students of the "First Division" in the new era meet in front of the screen with revolutionary ancestors such as Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, and He Shuheng a century ago. Youthful ideals and patriotic enthusiasm stir up every fiery heart.

　　The school will also include a visit to the Memorial Hall of Mao Zedong and the First Normal University as the first course of admission, and carry out "library-curriculum-integrated" immersive teaching to inspire original aspirations and build a solid ideological foundation with the revolutionary deeds of great alumni such as Mao Zedong and more than 280 martyr alumni.

　　In order to make good use of red resources and tell red stories well, the school has also built a red curriculum system with rich types and distinctive features, developed 11 "red" golden courses, and comprehensively promoted the introduction of red culture into textbooks, classrooms, and minds.

On May 20, 2021, ethnic minority students conducted red study activities at Hunan First Normal University to jointly trace the footprints of those red years.

　　Taking "big ideological and political education" as the educational concept and "red blood" as the educational carrier, the school continues to create red academic business cards and explores a path to educate "big students" with "big ideological and political education" and create "big students" with "red blood". The educational innovation path of cultivating teachers’ ethics among normal college students with the spirit of “red teachers”.

　　Since 2012, Hunan First Normal University has trained nearly 17,000 undergraduate public-funded normal students.

Over the past ten years, nearly 20,000 students have set out with a mission to illuminate the path forward for children in their respective positions.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping’s inspection coincided with the fifth anniversary of the school’s ideological and political theory teachers’ symposium.

At that symposium five years ago, the General Secretary profoundly answered the fundamental questions of who should be trained in education, how to train people, and for whom.

　　The red gene contains the spiritual code of "where we come from", marks the spiritual coordinates of "who we are", and establishes a spiritual beacon of "where we are going".
