On behalf of SDUT party committee and administration, Lv Chuanyi congratulated the convening of the meeting. He pointed out that the student congress is the basic form for all students to exercise democratic rights and participate in democratic management under the guidance of the party committee and the youth league committee. It is an important channel to broaden the connection between schools and students and an important part of building a modern university system and improving the internal governance structure of colleges and universities.
He hoped that the student congress, especially the student unions at all levels, will gather together to serve better as a bridge between schools and students. Focusing on serving the overall development of the university and the growth of students, the student congress should rely on students, work for students, unite students to actively participate in democratic management and provide positive suggestions for the development of the university.
“Representatives and student leaders should dare to take responsibility and work hard to become model students.Representatives should listen to their classmates extensively, effectively reflect and resolve the difficulties and problems that students care about, and speak out for the majority of students.Student leaders should give full play to the leading role, take the lead in practicing the concept of the CPC,studying hard, obeying the rules, and maintaining the friendly teaching and learning environment for all students.Develop a strict work style. Remember that you are with your classmates, not above your classmates.”
“Young students should be patriotic,inspiring,truth-seeking,and diligent in actions, striving to be talented persons with social responsibility,innovative spirit,professional knowledge, strong ability of practice and healthy mind and body. Being‘patriotic’means that students should have national pride and cultural self-confidence, and strive to tie their ideals to the future of the country. Being‘inspiring’focuses on moral cultivation. Students should pay attention to moral practice by heart and by action. Being‘truth-seeking’means that students should work hard to seek the truth, understand the truth and combine learning and thinking in practice. Being‘diligent in actions’means learning by doing. Students should put what they have learnt into action to demonstrate the spirit of SDUT.”
