Since the "December 9th Movement", after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the early liberation, Comrade Jiang Nanxiang has been in the forefront of the youth movement in China. In the "Letter from Tsinghua University Salvation Association to Chinese Compatriots" drafted during the "December 9" Movement, he shouted "North China is too big to put a quiet desk!" As a strong voice of the times, it played an important role in arousing people to participate in the war of resistance. Become a famous historical saying and go down in history. After the "December 9th Movement", Comrade Jiang Nanxiang organized and led a propaganda group to go south, which initiated the correct road of combining intellectuals with workers and peasants.

Comrade Jiang Nanxiang started his education as the president of Tsinghua University at the end of 1952. During his four years in Tsinghua/KLOC-0, he put forward a series of creative guiding thoughts for running a school from theory to practice, and formed a set of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's educational thoughts with rich contents. He adheres to the socialist orientation of running a school and always regards training a new generation of people to serve the socialist motherland as the fundamental task of the school. He founded the "double shoulders" political counselor system; Advocate red, professional and all-round development; Strive to build "three teams" of sports teams, literary societies, political counselors and outstanding students who teach students in accordance with their aptitude; Attach importance to students' ideological and political education and put forward the steps of "patriotism, socialism and * * * ism"; Pay attention to the unity of students' knowledge, ability and quality training; Put forward the famous exposition of "bread and shotgun" and advocate the graduation design of "real knife and real gun"; And called on young students to "strive for at least 50 years of healthy work for the motherland." He advocated "the policy is at the grassroots level", adhered to the "three paragraphs and two points theory" and guided the school work with materialist dialectics. Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's thought embodies the characteristics of China, which is full of philosophy, pioneering and innovative, proceeding from reality, full of dialectics, in line with the laws of education, and has a unique style and characteristics of the socialist era. In the decades since the founding of New China, the historical fact that Tsinghua University has cultivated talents and made important contributions to the cause of socialist construction undoubtedly shows that this is the fruitful result of the successful practice of Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's educational thought.

After the "Cultural Revolution", Comrade Jiang Nanxiang returned to the front of education and took a leading position. He resolutely carried out the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, led the education front to set things right, knocked down the "two estimates", rehabilitated a large number of wronged intellectuals, rectified and restored the educational order, promoted the educational reform, accelerated the development of education, and made indelible contributions.

Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's revolutionary achievements in his life can stand the test of historical practice. What Comrade Jiang Nanxiang deserves the most praise and study in his life is his lofty moral character of seeking truth and being pragmatic, not being bookish, not being above everything else, proceeding from reality, adhering to principles and being upright and upright. Many of Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's correct opinions were treated wrongly and neglected for a period of time, but practice finally proved that Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's opinions were correct. After the death of Comrade Jiang Nanxiang, Comrade Chen Yun wrote an inscription: "Comrade Jiang Nanxiang devoted his whole life to the cause of the Party in a down-to-earth manner".

In 1950s, Comrade Jiang Nanxiang proposed that learning from the advanced experience of the Soviet Union must be combined with the actual situation in China. He disagreed with the opinion of Soviet experts that the school only kept a few traditional majors, such as civil engineering, water conservancy, machinery and electricity, and insisted on establishing and developing high-tech departments and majors in Tsinghua University according to the needs of national construction, which cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for the development of China's national defense and the cause of "two bombs and one satellite", made important contributions to the development of Tsinghua University and laid a solid foundation.

During the ten-year turmoil of the "Cultural Revolution", Comrade Jiang Nanxiang was brutally persecuted for a long time, but he was deeply imprisoned, fearless and indomitable in the face of all kinds of insults and framing, and publicly expounded his correct views. He said, "Healthy people are not afraid of physical examination" and "thorough materialists are fearless". He believes that "as long as the practice proves to be correct, we must unswervingly stick to it and don't give up easily."

These are just a few outstanding examples. Jiang Nanxiang's fearless spirit of proceeding from reality, calling a spade a spade and adhering to principles is an example that party member cadres should always learn from.

In the process of building a world-class university, studying and implementing the spirit of the National Science and Technology Conference, implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, adhering to the people-oriented principle and building a harmonious society, today's schools need to inherit and carry forward Jiang Nanxiang's educational thought and adhere to the socialist school-running direction. Inheriting and carrying forward Comrade Jiang Nanxiang's fine tradition of seeking truth and being pragmatic should not only focus on books, but also proceed from reality.
