On behalf of the school, Zhang Donggang extended a warm welcome to the 2025 graduate students. He pointed out that as the first new type of regular university founded by the Communist Party of China, Renmin University of China was born in the flames of anti-Japanese resistance and is connected to the blood of national salvation; Grow up in the magnificent journey of rejuvenation and strength, and move forward in the same direction with the great rejuvenation; Forge ahead in the vast torrent of human civilization and resonate with the peaceful development of mankind. This university, which was born from the ashes of the Anti-Japanese War, will become a spiritual home for everyone to accompany for a lifetime. From the "new university of New China" to the "new campus of the new era", the red gene of Renmin University of China has never changed, the direction of struggle towards the east and the sun has never changed, the spiritual character of "the party-run university reassures the party, and the people's university lives up to the people", and the pursuit of excellence that is unique and bravely takes a new path has never changed. It is hoped that the students will keep in mind the political entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, be the pioneers of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, forge a loyal soul, taste the sweetness of truth, practice excellent abilities, shoulder the responsibility of rejuvenation, travel far on the road, seek the blessings of mankind, and write a magnificent chapter that lives up to the youth, the times, and the people.
Lin Shangli said that the opening ceremony was held on the Tongzhou campus for the first time, which is of symbolic significance in the history of Renmin University of China. The students are the "first witnesses" of the Tongzhou campus to be fully and officially put into use, and they are also the "co-writers" of a new chapter, and the pioneering force that breaks new ground and establishes a new industry. I hope that the students will hold the "three treasures" of the noble soul forged by the red gene, the spirit of Shaanxi Gong forged by the red history, and the pioneer character forged by the red mission in their hands, establish a loyal heart, lofty ambition, and the foundation of virtue in the "new campus", be loyal to the ideals and beliefs of the party, the country, the people and the Chinese nation, and be a person with noble morals, a pure person, a person with a capital letter, and a person who stands up to the sky; In the "new stage", we should seek truth, innovation, and progress, keep in mind the school motto of "seeking truth from facts", do learning with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, and provide leading new theories, new ideas, and new methods for the creation of human knowledge. In the "new era", dare to break through, dare to create, dare to take responsibility, integrate personal growth with national progress and national rejuvenation, truly become a "people's adult" with scientific and technological literacy, humanistic feelings and future concepts, and make greater contributions to the future of the country, the people and mankind.
Qin Xuan, a national outstanding teacher, the leader of the fourth batch of "National University Huang Danian-style Teacher Team", and a professor at the School of Marxism, spoke as a representative of graduate tutors. He said that the graduate stage is not the "end" of knowledge, but the "starting point" of exploration, and hopes that all students will take "truth-seeking" as the root, build a solid academic foundation, take "feelings" as the soul, anchor the value direction, take "honest action" as the key, adhere to the unity of knowledge and action, and have the pattern of "the great man of the country" and the feelings of patriotism and concern for the people, integrate personal dreams into the great cause of national rejuvenation and personal academic pursuits into the development of the times, explore the truth, be pragmatic and dedicated, serve the society, and write the youth answer sheet belonging to this generation of students.
Zhu Xiaoshuang, representative of the new master's students and the School of Sociology, said that coming to the "new campus in the new era" to open a new chapter in his academic career not only means the growth of knowledge and the improvement of degrees, but also means a heavy "people's" entrustment. As freshmen of the National People's Congress, we must gather because of the "people", but also because of the "people", we must understand the people, serve the people, inherit the red gene, take root in the land of China, anchor the academic direction, turn our professional strengths into real strategies to serve the people, forge ahead bravely in the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and strive to become a pioneering force that lives up to the times and the people.
Hao Beijing, representative of doctoral students, doctoral student majoring in administrative management of the "Talent Cultivation Program", and captain of the International Peacekeeping Corps of the Secret Service of the Ministry of Public Security, said that from peacekeeping police to doctoral freshmen, what has changed is identity, and what has not changed is the original intention. The school motto of the National People's Congress of "seeking truth from facts" enlightens young people that only by integrating the small self into the big self of the motherland and the people, keeping pace with the times and sharing the fate with the people, can we better realize the value of life and sublimate the realm of life. In the future, we will understand the spirit of seeking truth from facts in practical practice, the power of seeking truth from facts in forging ahead, and the wisdom of seeking truth from facts in integrity and innovation, strengthen our original intention and temper our skills, so that Chinese wisdom will shine more dazzling on the global stage.
Among this year's graduate students, there are 2,831 members of the Communist Party of China, accounting for 46.9%. The school party committee puts the education of freshman party members in a prominent position, implements the special action of "party building pilot, pioneer demonstration", establishes 99 freshman party branches as soon as possible, and creates 28 "student party member pioneers" and 27 "student party building pioneer dormitories" among freshman party members in advance, which is organically integrated with the "big ideological and political courses" of orientation and admission, so that the identity of party members becomes a shining business card of Renmin University students.
As the only national key university in the core area of Beijing's sub-center, the Tongzhou Campus of Renmin University of China has been fully and officially put into use, welcoming the first batch of more than 4,000 graduate students.
It was founded at the foot of Pagoda Mountain, resisted the War of Resistance on the Taihang Mountains, was built at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and then developed at the north end of the canal. Every expansion of the school-running space in the history of Renmin University of China will bring strategic development opportunities. What has changed is space, what has not changed is the spiritual core of red blood, and what has not changed is the innovative practice of breathing with the party and walking in the same direction with national progress and national rejuvenation.
