"Before the discussion, I would like to ask the students a few questions: Do you prefer reading paper books or e-books? Where do you usually like to eat? Is the location of the postgraduate examination classroom sufficient..." On the afternoon of May 26, Xihua University Principal Liu Shugen had a cordial exchange with student representatives. Zhang Li, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the school, and heads of relevant departments such as the Party Committee Propaganda Department, Party Committee Student Affairs Department, School Youth League Committee, Graduate School Department and other relevant departments participated in the discussion and had face-to-face face-to-face discussions with student representatives from each college to care for the students' growth and success.

"Professional" education combines adult development with both hands
"The most important tasks of a university are two aspects, one is to make students adults, and the other It is to make students become talents. One is inward improvement, and the other is outward improvement. Adulthood is to improve one's own moral character and physical fitness. Adult education is mainly about external education. Education focuses on improving people's abilities and their ability to contribute to social and economic development." Liu Shugen analyzed the main responsibilities of universities and the main tasks of students from the evolution of education at home and abroad.
After carefully listening to and fully understanding the students’ difficulties, confusions and thoughts, Liu Shugen said that the school always adheres to the student-oriented principle, adheres to the school-running philosophy of cultivating moral character and cultivating people, and constantly improves the relevant policies and systems of the school. The fundamental purpose is to Ensure that students become adults and allow students to become people who contribute to society after leaving school. "University is an educational institution and an important stage for students to become adults and enter society. In the process of studying and living in university, students must not only learn professional knowledge, but also improve themselves in terms of moral cultivation, physical fitness, and moral standards." The school will adopt a model that combines general education with professional education to ensure that Xihua students not only have strong business capabilities in their jobs, but also have corresponding development potential.
"Young students should be clear and pure." Liu Shugen pointed out that the main task of students is to study, and they should devote their time and energy mainly to learning, achieve results in their own professional fields, and try to avoid being affected by external noise and distractions. Be aware of yourself and resist the temptation. The school will make every effort to improve the conditions for study and life. We also hope that students will study hard and continuously improve their comprehensive abilities in all aspects of internal and external affairs, so as to achieve "being able to go, stay, and work." "do well", and at the same time, "be able to get ahead, be able to sustain it, and be able to excel".
"As long as we want to study, we can study anywhere. We can read on the street and on the train." Speaking of reading and studying, Principal Liu shared a short story of his experience.On two business trips, Liu Shugen missed the flight because he was lost in reading while waiting at the boarding gate and did not hear the airport announcement. At the same time, Liu Shugen suggested that students go to the library and the lakeside and grassland on campus to read and study. He said: "I personally like to read in the library and outdoors. Our campus is beautiful and it is good to read here. I like to walk around the campus and hope to study by the lake and around the grassland in the future. There can be more classmates. "
" "I hope that students will do a few things: first, they must learn their majors well, be "specialized", and study in depth in this field; second, they must persist in lifelong learning and develop the habit of reading for an hour every day. Good habits, if we develop this habit, our happiness will improve, because if we read every day, we will not feel bored or lonely; third, we must insist on exercising for one hour every day and develop the habit of loving sports; fourth, we must at least Learn to appreciate an art, whether it’s music, piano, dance or movies, and improve your appreciation skills; fifth, enhance your writing and communication skills,” Liu Shugen said affectionately, “I hope our Xihua students will not only find a job when they leave school. A good job, and more importantly, a happy life. To achieve this goal, we, teachers and students, need to work together to create a better and more outstanding Xihua." In today's symposium, President Liu explained to us the educational philosophy of Xihua University, and explained the standards, methods and approaches for talent development. This symposium is not only a symposium to listen to students' voices and respond to students' concerns, but also a forum. A very exciting and unique ideological and political course," Zhang Li said when presiding over the symposium.
There are more than 30 student representatives from various colleges, including undergraduates and graduate students; students about to graduate and sophomores; student leaders and ordinary classmates. The symposium lasted from 3 pm to 5 pm. Whether the student representatives took turns to speak or spoke freely, they fully demonstrated the pattern and responsibility of the students. Everyone gave full play to their sense of ownership, opened their hearts, and actively made suggestions for the development of the school. Offer advice.
Participating in the symposium were both school leaders and heads of functional departments. Through this exchange and discussion, I truly felt the students’ concern and expectations for the school, and also learned more about the difficulties that students face in their study and life. In recent years, the school has launched many reforms and initiatives. These reforms have not only directly changed the learning and living environment of students, but also changed the working philosophy and working methods of the school management service department.
Dong Xinchi, a student representative at the symposium and a graduate student of the School of Automobile and Transportation, said, “As a student who studied at Xihua for both undergraduate and master’s degrees, I am very honored to have the opportunity to participate in this symposium. What impressed me deeply was the school’s educational philosophy. The campus culture and learning atmosphere should be "slow" and should be "quiet". "Slow" means that everyone should slow down, take one step at a time, do their own work, and complete their own learning tasks. "Quiet" means to have a quiet time. An environment for students to concentrate on their studies. I believe that with everyone’s dedicated efforts, the school will reach a higher level.”
Student representative, He Zhengyu, a 2019 law major in the School of Law and Sociology, talked about President Liu’s personal development for students. Several requests made. He believes that the seemingly simple requirements embody the school's goal of cultivating talents: to let students be the masters of their growth and lay the foundation for students' all-round development. "Be an adult" first and then "become a talent." Students should focus on learning. Strive to improve personal overall quality and become a useful person to society.
Relevant functional departments of the school stated that after the meeting, they will further classify and organize the problems and suggestions raised by students, actively coordinate and resolve them, and comprehensively improve the level of service management.
