The first session of the 14th CPPCC and the first session of the 14th NPC (the Two Sessions) opened in Beijing on March 4th and 5th, respectively. Recently, the teachers and students of the School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) have paid close attention to the grand occasion of the “Two Sessions”, watching and listening to relevant reports through the internet, TV, radio, and other means. They responded enthusiastically to the victory of the “Two Sessions”.

Discussions from Teachers and Students

Ding Huafeng, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, said that on the afternoon of March 4, he carefully listened to the work report of Chairman Wang Yang at the first meeting of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The report on the work of the CPPCC Standing Committee highlighted two firsts in the past five years. For the first time, a central CPPCC work conference was held to formulate the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee on Strengthening and Improving the Work of the CPPCC in the New Era; for the first time, a symposium on Party building of the CPPCC was held to formulate and improve the system for implementing the Party’s overall leadership of the work of the CPPCC. The two firsts marked a new stage of historical development of the work of the CPPCC, the continuous improvement and development of the functions of the CPPCC and the formation of a good situation of strengthening politics, leading the team, promoting the performance of duties and increasing unity through party building, which is groundbreaking and milestones.

Huang Tianye, deputy dean of the School, said that the institutional reform program of the State Council adopted at the meeting will have a profound impact on the development of science and technology in China. Over the years, the Ministry of Science and Technology has played an irreplaceable role in promoting basic research and technological breakthroughs in China. In this reform, the reorganized Ministry of Science and Technology retains the functions of national basic and applied basic research, and also assumes the responsibility of breaking through the underlying science and technology and exploring the frontiers of science and technology. Therefore, I believe that the future science and technology work in colleges and universities must be two main lines going hand in hand. On the one hand, the research of college and university teachers will be more oriented to the needs of trade and industry, seeking the transformation and implementation of results; on the other hand, it is also necessary to further strengthen the level of basic research, bravely explore the no-man’s land and enhance the original policy source capacity of innovation.

Jiang Hongyong, a representative of young faculty from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, said that the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping during the two sessions this year focused on the overall situation of building a modern socialist country in all respects, and once again made important arrangements for high-quality development, and pointed out that accelerating the achievement of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the only way to promote high-quality development. As a researcher in university, I will carry forward the spirit of innovation in my field of research, challenge the “limit”, strive to be the “solver” of scientific research problems, do every scientific research work carefully and meticulously, and dedicate myself to building China into a great modern socialist country and a leader in science and technology. Representatives of the two sessions also proposed to comprehensively improve the quality of independent talent training, focus on creating top innovative talents, and gather the world’s talents for use. As a master supervisor, I will train every student with my heart and soul, inject fresh blood into the scientific research cause of our country, and work together to build a beautiful China.

Counselor Liu Biao said that the Two Sessions in this year are very important meetings held in the opening year of the study of the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, which attracted the attention of the whole country. As an ideological and political educator in higher education, it is necessary to study and implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and the spirit of the Two Sessions, and to deeply understand the decisive significance of establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era from the significant achievements in the past five years and the great changes in the new era, especially to tell young students the bright prospect of Chinese modernization, the path of achieving Chinese modernization, and the strategic deployment of Chinese modernization, so as to guide young students to find the right target and orientation, actively participate in the great practice of Chinese modernization, and spill their youth and sweat on the motherland with vigor and perseverance.

Ke Jun, a doctoral student representative, said that the 2023 NPC & CPPCC National Committee Annual Sessions summarized the progress of the past year and provide suggestions for the following year. The issues discussed at the meeting are closely related to us, one of which is the employment of college graduates. In view of the current severe employment situation, the proposal proposed that promoting the employment of young people, especially college graduates, should be placed in a more prominent position. In fact, as a college student, we should look for the reasons and solutions from ourselves. We should not just follow the crowd to find jobs, but should also embrace the belief of “going to where the motherland needs us”, contribute to development of the country, bravely respond to the call to go to the grassroots, to the frontier, to take root in the grassroots to serve the people, and let the flower of youth bloom in the places where the motherland and people need it most.

Liu Qianyi, a representative of the student Party branch secretaries, said, “in the real growth figures, such as “nearly 100 million rural poor people have lifted themselves out of poverty”, “the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has increased to more than 60%”, and “the operation mileage of high-speed rail has increased from 2.5 km to 42,000 km”, I deeply feel that people’s lives are becoming richer, the technological innovation capabilities have been significantly enhanced, and public services are of better quality. I deeply realize that this is the result of the unity and hard work of the whole nation under the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core. Who says this Great Pass is ironclad and can not be smashed. Right on top of it, we set our foot, for a second time, in confident stride. In the future of China, struggle creates miracles and strength comes from unity. As the secretary of the Party branch, I will continue to deeply integrate the Party building and ideological and political work, never forget my original intention, work hard and be honest and innovative; I will carry out propaganda in an organized manner, with a clear focus on “matters of national significance”, and respond to the call of the times with practical work and commitment.

Wang Shuo, a member of the presidium of the Student Union, said that the 2023 Two Sessions are important meetings held after comprehensively implementing the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and the blueprint for Chinese modernization. The opening is about the big picture, and the start determines the process. As student leaders, we should continue to strengthen our ideological and political guidance and serve our classmates wholeheartedly. At the same time, we will continue to unite and lead all students to study hard, practice diligently, take up the great mission, continue the red bloodline, firm ideals and beliefs, forge a practical style through tempering, sublimate the practical spirit in the struggle, and never forget our original intentions and forge ahead with a never-ending spirit and an indomitable fighting attitude, to live up to the great era and the spirit of youth.

Kudrati, an ethnic minority student representative, said that the two sessions are like a link between the “big picture” of the country’s development and the “small goals” of each individual. This metaphor is very appropriate. The suggestions of the common people are concentrated in the final decision-making of the government through the reflection by representatives and committee members. The country is ready to introduce more measures that deliver real benefits to the people and win their approval, reflecting the common aspirations of more than 1.4 billion people. As a minority student, I will remember the teachings of the Party, pay attention to national events, study my professional knowledge seriously, and dedicate myself to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the new journey.

Shi Zhantian, a senior student representative, said that in the spring of 2023, the Two Sessions were held as scheduled amidst the world’s attention. Through these days of study, I have learned that China’s manufacturing industry has made rapid progress in recent years, especially China has been laying out the “matters of national significance” to solve the “bottleneck” technical problems, and has achieved outstanding results. As a senior student, these facts have played a great role in promoting our professional learning, making us fully aware of the important position of the manufacturing industry in the economic and social development of China. In the future study and work, I will dedicate myself to scientific research and attack, and aspire to serve the country through science and technology.

Zheng Xingxin, a representative of junior students, said, “Let's start a new chapter and make a journey together!” On March 4th and 5th, the two sessions were solemnly opened, and Comrade Li Keqiang delivered a report on the work of the government. Each word and sentence of the report strengthened confidence and warmed the hearts of the people. Performance of duties in accordance with the law, business environment, protection of property rights, social governance, etc. As a freshman, I am aware of my mission of the times. In addition to studying professional knowledge, I should also be proactive and strive hard, not be afraid of hardship or fatigue, and achieve the unity of my personal value and social value. I will do my best to use my wisdom in my professional study and daily life, starting from solving the problems of people around me, always remembering my duty and mission, and never failing to live up to the mission on my shoulders.
