During the exhibition, sections of HUST organized teachers and students to visit and study. In enjoying the works, they recalled the remarks of the great man, carrying forward the excellent traditional culture of the CPC and promoting the modernization of China. It was agreed that Mao Zedong devoted all his life to the prosperity of China, to the revitalization of the Chinese nation and to the happiness of Chinese people. Yang Zhongxue said that Maoism is the guidance principle on which the CPC acts. He stated that we should turn individual patriotism into the motive for studying and working, making contributions to the prosperity of China, the rejuvenation of Heilongjiang and the quality development of HUST.
That exhibition also set a zone of the culture of integrity, showing what happened during Mao’s inspection in Harbin in the February of 1950 and his inscriptions for Songyuan Province (the old name of Heilongjiang Province) and Harbin:“Study Marxism and Leninism”,“Learn Knowledge”,“Work Hard”,“Develop Production”and“Keep Away from Bureaucracy”. The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Sun Shuhai said,“Although Mao Zedong wrote the inscriptions 73 years ago, they are still applicable to the new era. Cadres of our party should constantly study the essence of the process that Marxism adapts to the country and the era, with Xi Jinping’s thoughts on the socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era as guidance, sticking to‘Three Musts’, relying on the people and serving the people, enhancing the effects of the theme education and promoting the modernization of China by improving our ability and morality for the new era.”
