Pan Yishan, Yu Miaojie, and Zhang Hongxin delivered speeches atChongshan, Puhe, and Wusheng campuses respectively. The speeches pointed out that this year marks the concluding year for achieving the goals and tasks ofthe 14th Five-Year Plan, the decisive year for Liaoning Province to implement the three-year action for comprehensive revitalization and newbreakthroughs, and the striving year for LNU to accelerate the construction of its “Double First-Class” initiative. At this critical juncture of “conclusion”,“decisiveness”, and “striving”, all members of LNU must strengthen their unwavering belief to win the decisive battle.
It is essential to have grand aspirations of firm faith and loyalty to the Party. Faculty and students should always keep in mind the instructions, temper their loyal hearts to the Party with ideals and convictions, establish lofty ideals by integrating into the “greater self”, find the right direction in life when facing the “lesser self”, pursue comprehensive development through breaking through the “self”, and build new achievements and undertakings for the Party and the people.
It is essential to have genuine feelings of “Liaoning’s revitalization depends on me” and decisive victory. As a university named after the eldest son of the republic, the patriotic sentiment of Liaoning University has never been an empty talk—it is a gene integrated into our bones and blood, a sincere emotion, and tangible action. Faculty and students should use the "LNU temperament" to compose patriotic sentiments and demonstrate greater accomplishments in assisting Liaoning’s comprehensive revitalization and new breakthroughs to achieve decisive victory.
It is essential to have high pursuits of daring to be pioneers and striving for excellence. It is hoped that Party members, cadres, and faculty will take the opportunity of the university’s high-quality development discussions, adopt the mindset that “the starting point is a sprint, the beginning is a decisive battle”, have the courage to strive for excellence and lead the way, and contribute to promoting the university’s high-quality development. We must “aim for the grand while perfecting the minute”, seek truth in details, be pragmatic in precision, do “micro-practical matters” related to people’s livelihoods and quality of life from students’ simple wishes and strong expectations, and make students feel “Happy LNU” through dedicated efforts in clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily necessities. This will give them the courage and confidence to strive forexcellence, and we will work together to accelerate the construction of the “Four LNU Initiatives” and build an internationally renowned comprehensive research-oriented “Double First-Class” university as soon as possible.
It is essential to have hard skills of “who but me” and stepping forward with responsibility. It is hoped that students will embrace the “greatness of the nation”, focus on the “essentials of the province”, develop strong capabilities in the tide of the new era, “step out of campus to seek real-world scenarios, enter society to identify genuine problems, and approach the forefront to pursue pragmatic innovations”, face the decisive battle head-on, sprint toward victory, contribute youthful strength to winning the new-era “Shenyang Campaign”, and earn the “youth medal” of sincere patriotism and revitalizing Liaoning through science and education.
