In order to foster a good learning atmosphere in each class of the School of Mechanical Engineering and to ignite the driving force for the new academic year, under the guidance of the class leaders and the Youth League branch secretaries, the Red Flag Youth League branches of the 2019 level of the School of Engineering held the "Navigation | First Lesson of the New School Year" theme group study. The students earnestly studied and implemented the spirit of the 27th National Student Union Congress, promoting the spirit of fighting the epidemic in the new era, living up to their youth, forging ahead, aligning with entrepreneurial role models, and striving to be pioneers of navigation.

Below is the record of the theme group study of each class's Red Flag Youth League branch. Let's take a look at their youthful spirit embracing the times together!

Class Five of Weapons

Entrepreneurship and Innovation | Open Course on Faith

On October 21, 2020, the students of Class Five of Weapons held a Red Flag Youth League branch group building learning activity in Room A208 of the Fourth Teaching Building. They learned and watched the experiences and inspirations of outstanding entrepreneurs such as Sun Ke (General Manager of Suzhou Cornigs Polyols Co., Ltd.), benefiting greatly from the activity. Here are the students' reflections:

1. The excellent young entrepreneur, Sun Ke, the General Manager of Suzhou Cornigs Polyols Co., Ltd., deeply influenced me with his spirit of never giving up and his entrepreneurial ambition. I want to learn from his keen and accurate sense of the market and industry prospects, grasp the direction of entrepreneurship, develop and explore the advantages of the polyol industry, and have the courage to fight relentlessly. I want to learn from his firm determination to say no to difficulties and setbacks, his righteousness against the monopolistic oppression and slander of foreign arrogant corporations. Sun Ke did not allow himself to be exploited or intimidated, but instead, he wielded the legal weapon to legitimately defend his own patent rights, thus achieving victory in arbitration and thriving in adversity.

2. Through this video learning, we saw them convey the contemporary youth's enthusiasm and hope for the future through their entrepreneurial stories, encouraging us to dare to dream, persevere in our efforts, follow our hearts, and have no regrets in our youth. At the same time, we should firmly uphold our ideals and beliefs and bravely shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the times. This activity strengthens the ideological and political guidance for young students, cultivates outstanding successors for society, "Faith, Navigation," and organizes us to carry forward the call: inherit faith, uphold ideals; study diligently, innovate bravely; never forget the original intention, remember the mission, and inherit the red revolutionary spirit.

Youth should dare to dream, dare to think, dare to strive, and create a brilliant life rooted in the land of the motherland. As university students, we should shoulder the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, remember the mission of the times, never forget our original aspirations, and forge ahead. We should actively seek progress, continuously enrich the meaning of life, promote the spirit of self-reliance, dare to be pioneers, persevere in the face of difficulties, and maintain a vigorous and resilient spirit, fully exerting our creativity, and continuously writing new chapters in life through innovation and creation.

Class Five of Mechanical Engineering

The branch secretary presented the main points of General Secretary Xi Jinping's congratulatory letter, inspiring everyone to adhere to the General Secretary's wishes, firmly uphold their ideals and beliefs, cultivate noble character, hone their skills, dare to innovate, and strive resolutely. Together with hundreds of millions of people, they will compose a new anthem of youth in the struggle. The branch secretary then presented the main points of the Central Committee's speech, in which the Central Committee expressed earnest expectations for the youth. The branch secretary urged everyone to carefully understand the spirit of the Central Committee's speech and strive to create their own brilliant chapters of life according to its goals.

The second part of this group study was to promote the great spirit of anti-epidemic in the new era. The branch secretary showed the students General Secretary Xi Jinping's speeches during the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation to the 13th National People's Congress and the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronavirus Epidemic, emphasizing the importance of promoting the spirit of anti-epidemic.

Control and Measurement Class

Blossoming Youth in the Battle, Firm Confidence in the System

The 9191011701 Youth League branch organized all its members to watch the open class on faith "Navigation · First Lesson of the New School Year: Blossoming Youth in the Battle, Firm Confidence in the System," listening to the story of the medical team from Nanjing assisting Hubei told by the battle hero Qi Jianwei.

2020 was a year filled with sadness but also resilience and determination, full of respect and gratitude for the anti-epidemic warriors. The beginning of 2020 was not easy, but it also served as a test for cadres at all levels. "The strong wind knows the sturdy grass; the fierce fire tests the true gold." During the anti-epidemic period, countless people carried heavy burdens and minimized the danger of the epidemic. In this epidemic, we have seen worries and concerns, sacrifices, and tears. But we have also seen the unyielding perseverance of the people nationwide and internationally, the courage to persevere, the great love of droplets forming a river, and the continuous efforts. Faced with a global disaster, as long as humanity joins hands, we can overcome adversity.

"Looking up at the stars, the dream of the stars is not far away." We must practice our dreams with practical actions. Young entrepreneurs Sun Ke and Pan Pei set sail on the journey of innovation and breakthroughs, riding the wind and waves. Deputy branch secretary Xie Renhan explained the production of the courseware according to the first lesson of the new school year to guide the ideological norms of the branch members. Facing the epidemic, countless ordinary people stepped forward to gather the great love of humanity. Although the branch is small and the world is large, we aim to lead the way, make our own contributions without personal gain, and aim for the country. Drawing on the first lesson of navigation and the excellent spirit absorbed during the epidemic, we start the new semester with full spirit and high morale.

Class Six of Weapons

Youth Achieving Greatness in the New Era, Striving for the Nation's Sword

In the notice of the Provincial Youth League Committee on the "Navigation · First Lesson of the New School Year" for the whole province's primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in 2020, it is explicitly mentioned that young people need to deeply study and implement the spirit of the 27th National Student Union Congress, promote the great spirit of anti-epidemic in the new era, and be pioneers and role models in achieving greatness in the new era. Therefore, on the afternoon of October 21st, all members of Class Six of Weapons collectively watched the group study under the leadership of the Youth League branch. This group study was organized in the form of class collective learning and dormitory branch learning. At four thirty in the afternoon, all the students in the class participated in the collective learning session on time, fully demonstrating the cohesion and centripetal force of Class Six of Weapons!

This activity was hosted by the second batch of active party members, Wu Ruoyang, while Zhang Yuhang, Wang Haoxu, Wu Junjie, and other students delivered speeches, expressing their views on promoting the great spirit of anti-epidemic, striving to be advanced youth, and being the role models of party membership, and exchanged their insights with their classmates!

After the group study, the students consciously organized collective learning sessions by dormitory units, collectively watching the excerpt of General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech on "not forgetting the original aspiration and remembering the mission," and jointly learning the video content of Jiangsu Province's first lesson of navigation on Weibo. The strong interest in learning reflects the high ideological consciousness and political enthusiasm of the students in Class Six of Weapons. It is truly commendable to be a benchmark and a role model!

Through the learning activities of this "Navigation-First Lesson of the New School Year," the ideological enlightenment and dynamics of the students in our class have played a very positive guiding role. As loyal supporters of the Communist Party and the Communist Youth League and young forces, we will not let down the Youth League branch of Class Six of Weapons. With the leadership of the class committee and the active cooperation of all students, we believe that the future Youth League branch of our class will be more united and advanced, contributing to the development of the Party and the Youth League, and making contributions.

Reflections and Gains from Students:

1. Youth Should Have Ideals

Life has never been smooth sailing. For instance, to see the light of day again, one must endure through the long night. However, ideals, like countless stars in the sky, are always there to accompany and guide us through the darkness. Meanwhile, countless exemplary predecessors lead by example, showing us that even in the cold and silent winter, there are still plum blossoms braving the snow and pines and cypresses standing tall against the wind.

2. Youth Should Have a Sense of Belonging to the Nation

Academician Wang Ganchang, who was awarded the title of "Two Bombs, One Satellite" pioneer, once said, "I am willing to dedicate myself to the country." Indeed, as long as we grow up in our motherland, that strong sense of belonging to our nation is ingrained in the flesh and blood of us Chinese descendants. Just like those young people from all over the country and various professions who firmly declare and act on "going to the places where the country needs them the most." They truly spread the sparks of patriotism, each giving off light and warmth. Even if the flames turn their limbs and bodies to ashes, they still want to shine brightly.

3. Youth Should Achieve a Better Version of Themselves

I once saw a saying: "I may be humble, but I am unwilling to surrender." Even if we are born ordinary, as long as we have ideals and are willing to work hard, just like the Chinese athletes striving on the Olympic stage, raising the five-starred red flag representing the champion, we will eventually shoulder the responsibility of shaping our own destiny.

Ancient poetry praised youth as "the rising sun of the Fusang tree," and contemporary poet Liu Qing described youth as "the morning sun, the most precious period of life." Youth is the beginning of interpersonal development and the embarkation of dreams. Therefore, as youths, we should have the correct values, establish firm ideals, have a strong sense of belonging to our motherland, and strive to become better versions of ourselves, working together to create a better future.

Summary: When the youth prosper, the nation prospers; when the youth are strong, the nation is strong. When the youth generation has ideals, abilities, and responsibilities, the nation has a future and the nation has hope. We must seize historical opportunities, hone our skills, cultivate ourselves, and focus on our goals. We will surely uphold the determination to forge a sword for the country and the spirit of responsibility and progress of the times. With lofty aspirations and solid footsteps, we will bravely lead the era, shoulder the historical mission and the responsibilities of the times entrusted to us by our motherland!
