Under the requirement by the Central Committee of the CPC that“we should learn Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, enhance the spirit of the Party in ourselves, focus on practice and make new contributions”, the Party Committee of HUSTtried its best to transform Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Erainto great power by which it pursues its unwavering ideal, strengthen its spirit of the Party, instruct its practice and boost its work, emphasizing“we should be practical in planning, working and finding ways to solve problems”to answer the“papers”of the theme education. The theoretical learning of the HUST Party Committee is closely integrated with efficiency improvement, ensuring that theme education is effective and impressive. The close combination of investigation and research to overcome difficulties forms a strong synergy to promote development. Closely combining rectification with capacity and style building consolidates a clean and upright political environment. We should also promote the close integration of development and central work, and sound the“bugle for high-quality development”. Significant achievements have been made in the theme education work of HUST, and as a representative of universities, HUST have presented a typical experience report to the central guidance group. Its relevant work experience has been reported more than 120 times by mainstream media such as Guangming Daily. When the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Xu Qin, visited the university for inspection, he fully affirmed the university’s approach of closely integrating theme education with central work.
