At the beginning of the new semester, a course called "Strong Nation Classroom" has become the "favorite" of many Xueersi elementary school students. Wu Ximing, the chief designer of the Z-10 and Z-19 armed helicopters, Xing Ji, the chief designer of China's self-developed nuclear power "Hualong One", Lin Ming, the chief engineer of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge island tunnel project, Xie Xiaoyao, the director of the early data center laboratory of "China Sky Eye" FAST, Fan Jinshi, the honorary director of the Dunhuang Academy known as the "Daughter of Dunhuang", and scientist Liu Xiaohan, who has been engaged in Antarctic scientific research for 36 years, share their dreams and life ideals with their classmates.

"These scientists, engineers, and craftsmen of the great nation are my idols. I want to become a person like them when I grow up," said a Xueersi elementary student after class.

Zhang Bangxin, founder and CEO of TAL Education Group, introduced that in recent years, TAL Education's brands such as Xueersi and Xueersi Online School have launched a series of patriotic themed courses, which have a strong role model and inspirational effect on teenagers in shaping their lofty ideals and patriotism.

"Teacher, please play one more episode!", frequently heard during breaks at Xueersi teaching points. What the children are referring to are series of animated short films such as "Firework Egg and Me and My Motherland" and "General Grandpa Tells Stories" launched by Xueersi for student groups. With vivid and interesting content and forms, these short films provide patriotic education to more children in joy and laughter.

There are many such patriotism themed courses on various platforms of Xueersi, and students can watch related content for free through Xueersi APP, new media matrix, various branch teaching points, etc. Courses such as "Firework Egg" and "Strong Nation Classroom" have also been included in the Study Xi app.

Yang Fuguang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of TAL Education Group and the Principal of Xueersi National School, introduced that through innovative methods and means, Xueersi has created patriotic education themed courses in a way that is enjoyable and appealing to students, "We hope that Xueersi will not only impart knowledge to children, but more importantly, help them develop good character."

In May of this year, Xueersi released the "Xueersi Moral Education Series Courses", inviting many renowned experts to teach Xueersi teachers. It is understood that the "Xueersi Moral Education Series Courses" will continue to be promoted, and will set up courses around national new education directions, the psychological health of young people, and other themes to establish a strong foundation of faith for teachers.

"Xueersi considers the construction of teachers' morality as the primary task of teachers' team building, and always strengthen the investment of time, energy, and resources in the construction of teachers' morality, allowing all teachers to internalize and externalize, effectively improving their ideological and political qualities, integrating socialist core values into the entire process of education and teaching, and cultivating outstanding talents with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical health, aesthetics, and labor skills," said Yang Fuguang.

Since obtaining approval to set up the first Party branch in May 2014, and upgrading to the group's Party Committee in August 2017, TAL Education has always adhered to the core idea that Party building is the "red engine" for corporate development. Through the "three integration work method" of deeply integrating Party building with actual business, technical channels, and ideological and political education, TAL Education has effectively implemented Party building, and explored new models for Party building in the new era for non-public enterprises.

TAL Education has established 24 party organizations in 22 cities across the country, with 1674 party members serving in various leadership positions, achieving resonance between Party building leadership and corporate management, fully exerting the exemplary role of Party members. TAL Education fully utilized technological means to conduct live broadcast meetings, party classes, moral education courses, etc., across different locations to share courses, solving the problem of organizing activities for more than 40,000 employees, and deeply integrating Party building with technical channels.

In addition, TAL Education has actively carried out ideological and political education activities for its employees. At present, TAL Education's grassroots party organizations cover 22 cities including Tianjin, Shanghai, and Wuhan, with a total of 7299 party members, accounting for 19% of the total number of employees.

"We will actively give full play to the advantages of the Party organization, always bear in mind the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people, actively practice the core socialist values, and strive to improve teachers' ideals, beliefs, and moral sentiments," said Zhang Bangxin.
