To thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's thinking on Party building, fully implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, and promote the deep integration of Party building work with moral education and connotative development, recently Dalian Maple Leaf College of Technology organized its leadership team to visit the "Premier Zhou Enlai in Dalian" Memorial Exhibition Room at Bangchui Island for a thematic Party Day activity of on-site learning through practice. Aimed at using the noble character of Premier Zhou Enlai—a role model for the entire Party—as vivid teaching material, the activity guided the leadership team to calibrate its views on power, political achievements, and enterprise, and to find its coordinate of political achievement on the new journey of running a private college.
During the activity, the leadership team members, following the precious historical materials and artifacts, immersively relived Premier Zhou Enlai's red-bonded connection with Dalian. From his revolutionary fortitude in the face of danger while passing through Dalian in 1928—remaining fearless and unwavering in his faith—to his people-centered commitment after the founding of New China, when he made multiple research trips to Dalian and personally promoted the implementation of livelihood projects such as the Biliuhe Reservoir, the historical tableaux vividly exemplified the Premier's great character of loyalty to the Party, concern for the people, integrity, and wholehearted devotion. In front of the bronze statue of the Premier, all participants stood in solemn tribute, deeply appreciating the contemporary meaning of "benefiting the people is the greatest political achievement," and received a profound baptism of Party spirit and tempering of spirit.
After the visit, the leadership team held an on-site discussion centered on the theme of "Party building leading the high-quality development of private vocational education." Combining the practical realities of running the College, the leadership members pointed out that Premier Zhou Enlai's life is a vivid textbook for practicing a correct view of political achievements. In planning the College's development, one must constantly ask "three questions": Does the decision truly stand on the side of faculty and students? Do the measures closely follow the orientation of high-quality development? Is the implementation carried out with a pragmatic and down-to-earth style? The meeting required all leadership members to cultivate the mental realm of "success does not have to be attributed to me" and the historical responsibility of "success will surely have me," and to regard running vocational education satisfactory to the people and helping faculty and students grow in an all-round way as the fundamental political achievement.
During the discussion and exchange, the leadership members shared their insights in light of their respective areas of responsibility. They unanimously stated that they would take Premier Zhou Enlai as their benchmark, resolutely guard against formalism, strictly uphold the bottom line of integrity and self-discipline, and translate the gains from the study trip into concrete actions to tackle tough problems, offering real measures and seeking real results in key areas such as optimizing the discipline layout, deepening industry-education integration, and improving the quality of education.
This on-site red education at Bangchui Island further consolidated the ideological foundation of the College's leadership team for running the school for the people and working pragmatically. Next, the Party Committee of Dalian Maple Leaf College of Technology will continue to deeply study and comprehend the Party's innovative theories, and fully integrate the correct view of political achievements into all aspects of talent cultivation, campus governance, and faculty development. Upholding seeking truth from facts and taking initiative with a sense of responsibility, the Party Committee will use high-quality Party building to lead the College's connotative, quality-enhancing development, and contribute a solid "Maple Leaf strength" to the high-quality development of modern vocational education in Liaoning.
