In the autumn of 2000, the Yangxin County Party Committee and the county government formed the new leadership team of Yangxin No.1 Middle School. Comrade Cheng Shihai, who was appointed as the principal and secretary of the General Party Branch, is a veteran who has worked in Yangxin Education for more than 30 years. He has been awarded as "National Advanced Educator", "Excellent Principal of Hubei Province" and "Winner of May 1st Labor Medal of Hubei Province" successively. As soon as he took office, he resumed the teachers' congress, and clearly put forward the idea of "developing the school by quality, strengthening the school by scientific research, developing the school by reform and development, and strictly administering the school"; Clearly put forward the school-running concept of "implementing the' Li San' project, let golden phoenix practice the wings of bodybuilding, and let children from old areas go to key universities in groups"; The school development plan was formulated and the goal of creating a "provincial model school" was clearly put forward. Thought is the guide of action, and Yangxin No.1 Middle School has since entered a new period of leap-forward development.

As an important part of the school-running concept, the "Li San" project is a beneficial exploration and practice of building its own characteristic education system in Yangxin No.1 Middle School. This project includes two parts: one is the "Li San" project for all faculty and staff, and the other is the "Li San" education for all students. "Morality, determination and legislation" is its core concept. Teachers and students practice synchronously, and teaching and learning learn from each other and develop together. For students, "virtue" means establishing good moral quality, establishing the virtues of "loving the party, patriotism and socialism" and cultivating the virtue of "honesty-oriented"; As far as teachers are concerned, they should establish a good moral demeanor and realize the transformation from "Confucian classics" to "human teachers"; For students, "determination" means to establish the lofty ambition of "studying hard to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" and "being an adult" and strive to make greater contributions to society; As far as teachers are concerned, they are determined to become "famous teachers" and realize the sublimation from "teaching craftsmen" to "educators". "Legislation" requires students to establish a "learning concept" from passive acceptance to active exploration, so as to lay a good foundation for "lifelong learning"; As far as teachers are concerned, they should establish a scientific "people-oriented" concept of education, explore scientific teaching methods, and realize the transformation from "indoctrination" to "interaction". The characteristics of this concept emphasize the combination of "synchronization between teachers and students" and "three innovations", and settle on "building famous teachers and cultivating talents", "letting more children in old areas go to key universities" and "letting golden phoenix practice its wings of bodybuilding". As a scientific research topic, this project has been fully affirmed by relevant professors and experts from Huazhong Normal University and the Provincial Institute of Educational Science. After years of theoretical exploration and practical effects, Yangxin No.1 Middle School has formed a good atmosphere of learning from each other, teachers and students developing simultaneously, teachers striving for famous teachers and students striving for key points, which has effectively promoted the formation of teachers and students' personalities and the sustainable development of the school.
