Chinese is not only a language tool for understanding and communicating, but also an important subject for helping children gain knowledge, develop skills, and enhance emotions. Chinese learning not only allows children to master the basic ability to construct and use language, but also helps them develop and improve their thinking, cultivate aesthetic appreciation and creative abilities.

In recent years, Xueer Si has actively integrated high-quality educational resources to cultivate children's diverse abilities and core literacy skills in practice. Xueer Si has partnered with the China Literature Development Foundation to jointly build the "Maodun Youth Literature Institute," create the large-scale cultural self-made program "The First Lesson of School," and launch the national oral activity "Cute Kids' Little Lecturers"...

Chen Chao, the responsible person of Xueer Si, said, "Xueer Si is not only about imparting subject knowledge and helping children improve their literary literacy. We hope to use the academic wisdom and resource advantages of PKU's Chinese Department to innovate the classroom continuously, build an interest practice stage, help children bridge the Chinese learning loop from input to output, and achieve practical application, enabling every child to 'accumulate widely, read well, and express themselves,' obtaining an all-round enhancement of thinking, confidence, and vision."

Xueer Si Online School integrates academic resources with advanced technology, aiming to make online learning more professional, efficient, vivid, and interesting. In May of this year, Xueer Si Online School established the "Youth Literature Institute" and invited several winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Maodun Literature Prize to serve as expert consultants to jointly develop reading and writing courses. At the same time, it exclusively sponsored the Zhejiang Satellite TV cultural education program "The Same Lesson," upholding the tenet of "thinking and confident, cultural self-confidence; the same lesson, shaping character," to create a high-quality Chinese classroom shared by the global Chinese community.

Shi Xuefeng, the person in charge of the language product at Xueer Si Online School, said in his speech, "Xueer Si Online School hopes to use the power of technology to let more children experience the beauty of Chinese learning through in-depth cooperation with PKU's Chinese Department."

Young wisdom leads to national wisdom; young strength leads to national strength. Inspiring the patriotic feelings and sense of responsibility in young people is an important responsibility of educators. Since its initiation, the "Youthful Expression" activity has been filled with the earnest hope for the inheritance of traditional culture and the cultivation of patriotism. Throughout the months of the activity, participants started from their personal experiences to interpret and perform classic literary works, share their understanding of traditional cultural heritage, and express their insights into the development of the times.

Jin Yongbing, Party Secretary of the Chinese Department of Peking University and doctoral supervisor, as a judge, praised the wonderful performances of the young contestants and said, "In you, we see the vigorous vitality of a new generation of young people, and your attention and thinking to culture, the times, the country, and society. We hope to have more activities like this, guiding children to grasp the pulse of the times, inherit the cultural heritage, cultivate patriotic responsibility, establish the aspiration of a strong country, and educate with a broad-minded spirit."

Taking knowledge as the carrier and ability as the essence, Xueer Si will continue to uphold the educational concept of "inspiring motivation, cultivating ability," actively explore the integration and development of subject education and quality education, and bring high-quality educational resources to more learners. This will help children achieve comprehensive cultivation of abilities and gain "lifetime benefits of capabilities," enabling them to face the future with more confidence.
