Who to train is the primary problem of education. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has profoundly pointed out that China is a socialist country led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), which determines that our education must take the cultivation of socialist builders and successors as the fundamental task, and cultivate useful talents who support the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and China’s socialist system from generation to generation and are determined to fight for Socialism with Chinese characteristics for life. This is the fundamental task of educational work and the goal of educational modernization.
The deepest spiritual pursuit of a nation must be sequenced in its national spirit passed down from generation to generation. Youth is the root of the country. Only when the roots are deep and wide can the trees thrive. Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council jointly issued the "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the Training Project for Young Marxists", making arrangements for the in-depth implementation of the "Qingma Project" in the new era. As an important position to train young Marxists, whether colleges and universities can train a batch of young people of the era who can be appointed as great leaders for national rejuvenation is related to the future and destiny of the party and the country, and whether the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics can succeed and prosper.
In the face of the unprecedented changes in the past century, it is necessary to cultivate and convey a group of young political backbones with loyal political character, strong feelings for home and country, solid theoretical foundation, outstanding ability and quality, loyalty, forgiveness and obedience, and carefully guide and cultivate young students at the jointing and booting stage to build a "load-bearing wall" of faith and a "ballast stone" of personality.
What is faith?
The definition of Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "Extremely believe in and respect someone or a certain idea, doctrine or religion, and use it as a guide or example for your own actions." In other words, faith is the highest inquiry of people’s outlook on life, values and world outlook, and constitutes people’s ideological soul and spiritual outlook. Life is like a house, and faith is a pillar. In the storm, faith protects a person’s persistence; In the test, faith casts a person’s character; In forging ahead, faith makes a person’s value.
"If you have faith in your heart, you can go far." Looking back on the history of a hundred years, no matter in prosperity or adversity, no political party has ever made such great efforts and sacrifices to practice its beliefs and ideals as the Communist Party of China (CPC), but it has never changed its mind. In the past 99 years, from a small party with just over 50 people when it set sail in South Lake to the largest ruling party in the world with more than 90 million people in party member today, generations of communist party people have rallied under the banner of faith, stood up the backbone of the nation and written an epic chapter. Today’s world is in a great change that has never happened in a century. The international and domestic situation has undergone profound changes, and various ideological trends have surged, and the confrontation in the ideological field has not stopped for a moment. The more under such a change, the more it highlights the importance of "faith is like a rock".
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that faith, faith and confidence are crucial at all times. Regardless of the past, present and future, faith in Marxism, faith in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and confidence in realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are all powerful spiritual forces that guide and support the people of China to stand up, get rich and become strong. Both history and reality tell us that if the younger generation has ideals and responsibilities, the country will have a future, the nation will have hope, and there will be a steady stream of powerful forces to achieve our development goals. In contemporary China, the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics are the spiritual pillar and political goal of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and also the political belief that young students in the new era must establish. It is necessary to dismantle students’ "heart wall" with the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, to warm students’ "heart", to improve students’ "mood" and to make them loyal practitioners of "Four Confidents".
How to establish faith
Faith will not fall from the sky, let alone come out of thin air, but comes from the tempering of reality and the pursuit of truth. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once stopped for a long time in front of the exhibits of "Half Belt" and said with deep feelings: "This is the power of faith, that is ‘ Tiexin follows the Party ’ A vivid portrayal. " He also told many touching stories in the history of the Party. When Chen Wangdao translated the communist party Declaration, he "dipped in ink and ate zongzi, saying it was very sweet", which was "the taste of truth and belief".
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the ideals and beliefs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people are based on a profound understanding of Marxism and a profound grasp of historical laws. For young students in the critical period of "jointing and booting", the correct belief is based on the theoretical recognition of scientific truth, the correct understanding of the laws of modern history in China and the accurate grasp of the basic national conditions in China. "Only by learning and believing can the theory be firm, and only by being sincere can we learn ‘ Zhenjing ’ 。” It is necessary to combine the ideological and political classroom with the social classroom, guide young students to observe and analyze problems with Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method on the basis of learning, understanding, believing and using Marxism, transcend the emotional stage of communism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics belief, realize the scientific cognition of Marxist value, the positive emotion of value, the firm will of value and the firm belief of value, and fundamentally enhance their ideological consciousness, political consciousness and action consciousness of believing in Marxism.
Combining learning with practice, integrating the "Four History", we should use China’s feelings, theory and logic to explore the road, theory, system and culture of socialism with taste of china characteristics, instead of "external reflection" and "look on coldly" with western theories, logic and paradigms. We should deeply understand Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s hard-won road, theory, system and culture, grasp the essence of his thoughts, and truly taste the "taste of truth" contained in it. Deeply understand China’s national system and national governance system, firmly establish Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence, institutional self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, and sharpen the will, temper the character and increase the talents in the grassroots frontline and difficult places.
Who does faith serve?
"Zuo Zhuan" contains: "Think about benefiting the people and be loyal" and "Know the benefits of the public and be loyal." Comrade Mao Zedong once said, "The people, only the people, are the driving force to create world history." "communist party is to struggle, that is, to serve the people wholeheartedly, not half-heartedly or two-thirds of its heart."

"The vast number of young people have proved by actions that the young people in China in the new era are good and worthy of great responsibility!" On March 15th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sent a reply to all post-90s party member of Peking University Aid Hubei Medical Team, affirming that young people "demonstrated the vigorous strength of youth and handed over qualified papers" in the epidemic prevention and control struggle. In the vivid practice of understanding life, explaining life and revealing life and death in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, in the front line of fighting against the epidemic, the vast number of young people have condensed weak individuals into powerful collectives, which have condensed the majestic youthful strength for national construction and national rejuvenation. This is a true portrayal of young Marxists in the new era. They guard their beliefs with their lives, get direction from them, and draw strength from them.
Cultivate young Marxists with firm beliefs
At the national conference on propaganda and ideological work, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to seize the critical period of the formation and determination of young people’s values and guide them to buckle their first buttons in life. The university stage is an important period for the development of life, a critical period for the formation of world outlook, outlook on life and values, and the "jointing and booting stage" of life. What young students believe in, what flag they hold and what road they take will determine the fate of the future country and nation.
"Green Horse Project" is an important measure to consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field of colleges and universities. Colleges and universities must strengthen the organization and implementation of "Green Horse Project", stand on the commanding heights of ideals and beliefs, strengthen theoretical research and practice, innovate the training methods of "Green Horse Project" and form a systematic training mechanism for young Marxists. Theoretical teaching is the cornerstone of the "Green Horse Project". We should strengthen theoretical study, guide young people to read Marxist classics in depth, follow up and study the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, and strengthen theoretical study by reading the original works, learning the original text and understanding the principles, so as to learn and understand "what is faith". "Marxism is not knowledge in the study". Only by looking at the great practice of our great motherland with Marxism and mastering Marxist positions, viewpoints and methods can we correctly understand the party’s situation and national conditions and establish a firm belief in Marxism. Only when the light of faith shines through the times and Marxism leads the youth ideological trend in the changes of the times can we cultivate a group of young Marxists who have firm ideals and beliefs, stand firm on the people’s stand, practice excellent skills and devote themselves to the great cause of strengthening the country.
