■"Metabolism of Modern Chinese Society"

At the end of the first semester,Mr. Chen implemented the field inspection plan for us。It’s the middle of winter,Mr. Chen still took the trouble to take students to Nanjing and other places for a week of study。In Nanjing Yuhuatai Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery,Mr. Chen, despite the severe cold and running around for days、Explanation fatigue,With a very sad heart: "After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup in 1927,Yuhuatai became the execution ground for the massacre of revolutionary patriots,Deng Zhongxia、Yun Daiying、Luo Dengxian、He Baozhen and tens of thousands of outstanding Chinese people died here。This is our memory of the revolutionary martyrs,Inspire enthusiasm for construction,A good class to improve ideological awareness。”At the Martyrs Memorial Hall,We listen to the heroic deeds of the martyrs,View the relics displayed in the museum、Pictures and documentation,The soul has been baptized and sublimated。

Mr. Chen concluded: "These great revolutionaries contributed their young lives,Didn’t consider his own personal interests at all,They are dedicated to the future of the country and risk their lives,Showing the fearless spirit of heroic sacrifice for mankind to realize the beautiful ideal of communism。We Bet365 lotto review grew up in a happy socialist life,To inherit the legacy of the martyrs,Work hard for the Chinese nation to stand among the nations of the world。”Through this commemorative event, I realized that the victory I enjoyed was hard-won,Determine to overcome selfish thoughts for personal gain,Study your lessons seriously,Not afraid of any hardship,Work hard to build a new society,Only this way,Only can we be worthy of the selfless dedication of the revolutionary martyrs and Mr. Chen’s hard teaching to us。

Mr. Chen is trying to improve our historical theory level,We also invite famous people from all walks of life to give lectures。For example,His close friend、Professor Feng Qi (1915-1995) from the Department of Political Education of our school gives a lecture on Marxist philosophy。Chang Xiping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of East China Normal University (later Minister of Education and Health Affairs of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee) also provided ideological and political guidance for me。Inspired by the words and deeds of the teachers and their lofty spirit,I always hold myself to the standards of an outstanding Communist Party member。After graduation,I voluntarily gave up the opportunity to stay and teach in a university in a big city,Volunteer to Yimeng Mountain, the poorest old revolutionary area in Shandong at that time,Actively participate in the establishment of Linyi University and other institutions。
