China Lanzhou Network News on April 16 - "Why are the battle flags so beautifully painted? Heroes' blood has dyed them red..." "From the cradle of industry to the splendid Longyuan, the spark of northwest industry is the vibrant force driving Gansu to stride forward..." On the afternoon of April 15, a unique ideological and political class activity was held at Dingxi Road Primary School in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City. On the ideological and political exhibition ladder, ten young narrators delivered vivid speeches; beneath the ladder, the student Party member lecture group from Lanzhou University applauded warmly.

Featuring the characteristics of "two-way advocacy and mutual learning for mutual improvement", we have innovatively launched vibrant classes where "primary school students tell red stories and university students talk about ideals and beliefs". This is a vivid reflection of Dingxi Road Primary School's innovation in ideological and political education forms, deeply integrating the great achievements of reform and development in the new era, Gansu's red culture and historical context into the whole process of ideological and political education, and building an integrated education pattern of "ideology and politics + culture + practice".


On the "Red Wings" ideological and political exhibition corridor built at the school, ten young narrators passionately recounted the heroic deeds of revolutionary ancestors, the cultural roots of the Yellow River Basin, and the development and changes of Gansu around ten units under three chapters: "Growing Up Under the Red Flag", "The Power of the Mother River", and "Thousand-Mile Ruyi". Their confident, graceful, vivid and expressive presentations won warm applause from the student Party member lecturers of Lanzhou University present. In the classroom, the student Party member lecturers from Lanzhou University then acted as "ideological and political tutors", integrating their own learning experiences and stories of the times to tell pupils about patriotism, the power of role models, and the responsibility of growth in simple and vivid language with lively and interesting cases. After listening to the ideological and political class, Gao Yixuan, a student from Class 4, Grade 4 of Dingxi Road Primary School, said emotionally, "The elder brothers and sisters spoke so well. I will study hard to acquire knowledge and skills, and when I grow up, I want to be a person useful to the country just like Grandpas Yuan Longping and Nan Rendong."


Innovate through practice and lead practice with innovation. In recent years, Lanzhou has deepened ideological and political education through practice, striving to build the "Xingjian Jincheng" ideological and political education brand. It has innovatively launched courses such as "Ideological and Political Lessons by the Yellow River", "Ideological and Political Lessons in Museums" and "Ideological and Political Lessons in Fields". Through small-scale practical approaches, it has energized the overall pattern of comprehensive ideological and political education, making the integrated platform for ideological and political courses take shape, the integrated mechanism stronger, the integrated curriculum more vibrant and the integrated pattern established. It has also enabled ideological and political education to be practiced on the ground and take root in people's hearts. (Guo Yunlian, Tang Shuting)
