Character speech

On the mission of University and cultural power

1. Universities have played an important role in the history of world civilization. In the process of promoting the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics, especially in the process of building a cultural power, universities undertake a special mission. University is a place to cultivate high-level talents, a channel to spread academic culture, a fertile ground to cultivate ideas and theories, and a platform to create cultural achievements. In a sense, the level of university development is an important part of cultural strength and an important window of social civilization. Cultivating talents, scientific research and serving the society are generally regarded as the three major missions of modern universities. However, in terms of a certain era and a specific country, the mission of the university has the characteristics of the times and the nation.

2. In the contemporary era, the mission of Chinese universities is endowed with new characteristics of the times, and the development of Chinese universities carries the glorious dream of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Facing the complex situation of opportunities and challenges, Chinese universities should have a more conscious and strong sense of mission. The development of universities should consciously focus on the general basis, general layout and general task of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and consciously serve the goal of "building a socialist cultural power with a more solid foundation" and "significantly enhancing cultural soft power".

3. Take the correct values as the soul, control and lead the missions of the University. Correct values are the core of university spirit and the soul of university mission. The missions of universities should obey or pursue the correct value goals. In the era when instrumental rationality is criticized and value rationality is reconstructed, the value orientation of university mission has aroused people's deep thinking. The examination oriented education model, the one-sided pursuit of "GDP" of education development, the old ideas and rigid system that are divorced from the needs of the times and social practice, all deviate from the correct values of university development. It is the aim of a university to build a university that meets the needs of the people and the society. Universities need to return to their true values: they are committed to cultivating young students with all-round development, cultivating talents who are "national models and pillars of society", advocating correct values and leading social trends; they explore the world and create ideological achievements or spiritual food to meet the needs of the people and society, so as to promote all-round social progress and all-round development of people. The teaching, scientific research and management of a school should be subject to this value goal. The development of universities is closely linked with the development of individuals and the destiny of nations and countries. The university needs loftiness but refuses mediocrity, needs massiness but refuses impetuosity. When the trend of eager for quick success and instant benefit erodes the campus, the university should maintain its quiet and far-reaching character and the reputation of "fertile soil for academic research and cradle of ideas". In order to strengthen the national soft power, universities should face up to the fact that values are at the core of soft power, and pay attention to the inculcation and exploration of values in the process of teaching and scientific research, so as to make a difference in cultivating and practicing the socialist core values.

4. Take reform and innovation as the driving force to improve the quality of education and the level of running a school. Under the new situation, the University's personnel training mode, scientific research mode and management system need further reform and innovation. In terms of personnel training, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of students' values, social responsibility and moral quality, and pay more attention to the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability. Therefore, corresponding reform and innovation should be made in education concept, teaching material content, teaching method and practice. In the aspect of scientific research, we should pay attention to the reform of evaluation methods, establish correct scientific research orientation, pay more attention to the quality of scientific research results, form a mechanism to encourage the spirit of sitting on the bench and producing more excellent or handed down works, actively explore and encourage the implementation of collaborative innovation mode of scientific research, reform the scientific research organization system, integrate the scientific research resources inside and outside the school, and give full play to multi-disciplinary and cross learning We should make joint efforts to tackle key problems around the direction and topics urgently needed by the state and society. In terms of university governance, we should, in accordance with the requirements of the modern university system, strengthen the guidance of serving teaching and scientific research, enhance the sense of service to teachers and students, pay attention to the combination of scientific and humanized management, and improve and perfect the Chinese University Management System of "Party committee leadership, president responsibility, Professor governance and democratic management". Reform and innovation need to follow the laws of education, scientific research and management, and deal with the relationship between reform and stability, innovation and inheritance. The innovation of universities is an organic part and concrete manifestation of promoting theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, scientific and technological innovation and cultural innovation in China.

5. Take the opportunity of the increasingly socialized and internationalized trend of the university to improve the quality of social service and international level of the University. On the one hand, the relationship between modern university and society is increasingly close, that is, the cultural connection between University and government, enterprise, community and market is more and more frequent. As a result, the cultural services and cultural products for the society, such as the think tanks for the government and enterprises, the social transformation of scientific research achievements, cultural and creative industries, and vocational training, emerge as the times require. Universities should take advantage of the situation, further strengthen the construction of think tanks, promote the transformation of academic culture of universities into mass culture of society, drive the upgrading of cultural industry and high-tech industry through the organic combination of production, learning and research, improve the way of serving society, and improve the ability and level of serving society. On the other hand, with the continuous expansion of globalization, international exchanges and cooperation of universities are also developing rapidly. With the expansion and deepening of economic, political and cultural exchanges between China and other countries in the world, the demand for talents with cross-cultural communication ability becomes more urgent. Universities should provide more and better talent support and academic support for international cultural exchanges, build a platform for academic exchanges between China and foreign countries, and increase international elements in educational philosophy and teaching methods. In the process of carrying out the strategy of bringing in and going out of culture, universities should play a major role. Universities should not only be based on the local culture and highlight the national characteristics of culture, but also fully absorb the advanced experience and civilization achievements of foreign universities with an open attitude, so as to show the cosmopolitanism and inclusiveness of contemporary Chinese culture and make due contributions to shaping China's cultural image on the international stage.

On justice

1. Justice is the value measure that people use to evaluate social behavior, social system and its results, and it is also the ideal goal that people have been pursuing since ancient times. The realization of justice is an important yardstick to measure the progress of social civilization. In different historical periods and different social systems, people have different understanding and practice of justice. Justice, as the basic value goal and core value concept of China's socialist society, inherits the essence of the just thought in the history of mankind, and embodies certain characteristics of the times and institutional characteristics.

2. Justice is an important value goal pursued by people. Justice is generally understood as a compound word of fairness and justice. Justice mainly refers to the social behavior that most people want or need and the reasonable criteria or value standards that social system should follow. It contains two meanings of fairness and justice. Fairness usually refers to an impartial attitude towards people and things based on certain standards or principles. For example, what we usually say are "equal treatment", "fair trade", "a bowl of water", "children should enjoy the same educational opportunities under the blue sky", "power should operate under the sun", and so on. All these involve fairness in opportunities, rights and rules. Justice, on the other hand, is usually associated with a certain social system, especially the embodiment of the dignity of law, which mainly refers to the principles that should be embodied in the system and the results of behavior. In reality, fairness and justice are often difficult to separate. In Chinese history, the black faced Bao Gong, who is selfless and impartial in handling cases, and the portraits or sculptures of the solemn goddess in the west, who holds a balance in one hand and a sword in the other, vividly show that maintaining fairness and safeguarding justice are inseparable. Justice is often used as a synonym for fairness or justice.

3. Marxist view of justice is produced on the basis of critically inheriting the idea of justice in history, and has been widely applied in the world
