As the spring breeze gently blows, everything is renewed. On the afternoon of March 13, 2024, all undergraduate students of the class of 2021 from the School of Foreign Languages listened attentively to a vivid ideological and political lesson. Liu Yingsi, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School, delivered a lecture titled Chinese Modernization and the Responsibility of Youth, sharing with the students the inspiring vision that modernization will ultimately be realized through the relay efforts of successive generations of young people.

After concisely analyzing the connotation and characteristics of Chinese modernization, Liu Yingsi deeply pointed out that high-quality development is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization and the primary task for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. This urgently demands that education, science and technology, and talent form the foundational and strategic pillars. The key factor in developing new quality productive forces lies in a more highly qualified workforce. Higher education bears the significant mission of cultivating top-notch innovative talents, and both the university and the school have courageously undertaken this responsibility, making substantial contributions to talent cultivation for the Party and the country. Drawing on the main practices and achievements of the School of Foreign Languages in disciplinary development, teaching reforms, and talent cultivation, he encouraged the students to further strengthen their professional identity and confidence, fully leverage the advantages of their foreign language majors, and use foreign languages as a bridge to effectively tell China's stories, becoming accomplished foreign language youth in the new era who possess both virtue and talent, as well as a sense of national responsibility and an international perspective.

Each generation has its own opportunities, and each generation of youth has its own mission. This ideological and political lesson was not only a transmission of knowledge and theory but also a profound ideological refinement and spiritual baptism. Like spring rain nurturing the earth, it will undoubtedly inspire the students to forge ahead with determination and strive for excellence, contributing to Chinese modernization through the high-quality development of youth.
