This lesson is a further response to General Secretary Xi Jinping’s instruction that “all courses, not merely the ideological and political theory course, are responsible for ideological and political education”. Through such lessons, the course team aims to strategically build the overall system of ideological and political education curriculum and to realize the general requirements of synergy between the ideological and political theory course and other courses. The course team hopes that by continuously practicing and summarizing experience, they can creatively transform the main channel of talent cultivation from the “ideological and political course” to the three-dimensional “curriculum -based ideological and political education".
