Patriotism, collectivism and socialism are the important ideological foundations for college students to contribute their wisdom and strength to the motherland and the people unswervingly and persistently.

General Secretary Hu's question "How to carry out patriotism, collectivism and socialism education extensively and deeply, and guide college students to strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics's belief" profoundly reveals the extensiveness and depth of this problem.

"Three natures" education is the fundamental way to guide college students to establish Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideals and beliefs.
