Go to the West and let the flower of youth bloom where the motherland needs it most - a snapshot of students from the University of w88 and Economics serving the construction of the West
w88 casino News Network (Party Committee Propaganda Department Reporter Wenfeng Translation Photos provided by the w88 casino Youth League Committee, etc.) In the vast western land, there is such a group of w88 masters who use their youth to measure mountains and rivers and water their dreams with their blood. When the clarion call to "go to the west" sounded, they resolutely packed up their bags and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, sowing the fire of knowledge where the motherland needed it most, and interpreting the University's spirit of "economic development and benefiting the people" with practical actions.
Supporting teachers in the west: using knowledge to light up hope in the frontier
The w88 casino Graduate Student Support Teaching Group was established in 1999. So far, the w88 casino has recruited 27 batches of 349 volunteers to carry out volunteer teaching activities in Hualong, Qinghai, Yuzhong, Jingyuan, Huining, Xinjiang, Mengla, Yunnan, Chishui, Guizhou and other places. For more than 20 years, the young people of the University of International w88 and Economic Cooperation have passed on the legacy from generation to generation, singing a resounding prelude of youth in the west, and using practical actions to contribute the youthful power of the University of International w88 and Economics to education and intellectual support.
In the mountain campus of Datong Town, Chishui, Guizhou, Pei Liyang's identity is much more than the teacher of six seventh-grade classes and one eighth-grade class. He is also a cordial "big brother" in the children's mouth. He plays the role of a party member who "keeps in mind and cares about the branches and leaves", sowing the fire of knowledge and warm companionship. In Jingyuan County, Baiyin, Gansu Province, deputy head teacher Liu Yiyi knows that volunteer education is not only about imparting book knowledge, but also a long journey of shaping character and habits. Bordered by the Yellow River to the north and the Wulan Mountains to the south, facing the complex local academic situation, he penetrated deeply into the hearts of students and integrated "supporting aspirations" and "supporting hearts" into daily life, deeply taking root in this land of youth; in the No. 1 Middle w88 casino of Mengla County, Yunnan, Qin Yu and Fu Yu used their own methods to inject vitality into border education. Qin Yu carefully produced more than 50 courseware, using bits and pieces of accumulated experience to make up for the shortcomings in students' habits. He experienced the opening of the China-Laos high-speed railway and witnessed the train entering Mengla, a small border town; Fuyu cleverly integrated foreign culture into English classes and used music to teach students. Le Weiqiao directed the high w88 casino choir and facilitated the "Beijing-Yunnan Connection" between the High w88 casino Affiliated to Beijing Normal University and Mengla No. 1 Middle w88 casino. The campus cultural heritage drama "Little Flower" based on real episodes of her interactions with students won the gold medal and the Outstanding Creation Award.
Western Plan: Understand China through tempering
The Western Plan is a talent project jointly organized and implemented by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. It has set up a broad stage for young people to display their talents at the grassroots level in the west and serve the motherland. In the past three years, a total of 114 people from the w88 casino have actively signed up as volunteers for the Western Program. The number of registrations and admissions in 2025 has reached a record high, ranking among the top universities in Beijing. Contributing to the West is the active choice of the "Strengthening Generation" to serve national rejuvenation and national development. The transformation from "small self" to "big self" is the most precious gift given to volunteers by the West China Plan.
When asked why he chose the Western Plan, Qi Manzhu’s answer was straightforward and powerful—because of curiosity. Outside the ivory tower on campus, the vast world of the West is like a thick "walking textbook", strongly attracting her to read it. This desire to explore the unknown, combined with the belief that "youth should bloom in dedication", brought her to the hot land of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. The tenacity of her predecessors who "gnawed hard bones" taught her to turn small things into "system projects." The dozens of concerned text messages from her partners during the sandstorm, the hand-picked meals at the homes of Uyghur colleagues, and the warm moments of making dumplings and chatting about nostalgia with her "comrades" have become beautiful memories that she will treasure for a lifetime. At the Higher People's Court of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Liu Jiahao used his professionalism to measure the depth of the frontier of rule of law. He was shocked by his professional ability to "penetrate the truth" in the local judge's court, and received rigorous and meticulous thinking training from the study of pre-trial files. He knows very well that this "big book of social practice" in the West is a required course for legal professionals to truly understand the national conditions and grasp the logic of social operation. He actively uses his professional skills, actively participates in research and practice, participates in academic projects at Xinjiang University, organizes rural art transformation and legal popularization activities, and fulfills his vow of "standing up for responsibility" in collective dedication.
Employment in Western China: Taking root at the grassroots level to create a youth without regrets
The w88 casino has always adhered to the original mission of “educating talents for the Party and educating talents for the country”. Talent cultivation focuses on value shaping and anchors the core goal of practical education. Young students’ enthusiasm for “serving the country through economy and w88” and “going to the West” has been continuously stimulated, and their awareness of serving the national strategy has been significantly improved. In recent years, the number of graduates going to work in the western region has been increasing year by year, reaching 259 in the class of 2024. Their positions include Lhasa Customs, AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd., etc., and 27 people are selected candidates from the Organization Department of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Organization Department of the Chengdu Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and other places.
In 2019, a poster from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, like a bright moon, illuminated Gao Jinyu’s heart. He participated in the Western Tibet Special Project from 2019 to 2021, served on the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and now works at Lhasa Pingqiao Investment Management Co., Ltd., a first-level state-owned enterprise in Lhasa. In the Policy and Regulations Research Office of the Tibet Autonomous Region Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission, drafting documents has become his daily routine. He worked tirelessly, read and studied, and contributed to the precise formulation of regulations. He said, "Choose Tibet not only out of yearning for the purity and freedom of the snow-covered plateau, but also because I want to go to the most difficult place to devote my youth. The harder the place, the more you learn and the more you can get exercise." For Yang Yuan, who went to Chongqing to be a transfer student after graduation, this was not a hot-headed decision, nor was it a choice to follow the crowd. At the end of the national-level art show that celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, "When the fireworks bloomed from above the Bird's Nest, a sense of pride arose spontaneously. The institutional advantages of the motherland in concentrating its efforts on big things inspired me to join the team that serves the country and dedicates myself." After completing volunteer service work at the Beijing Winter Paralympics, Yang Yuan became more determined in her idea of taking root at the grassroots level. "Chongqing is an important part of promoting the construction of western financial cities and the western development strategy, and is in urgent need of the injection of fresh blood from young talents. The world at the grassroots level is vast, and I want to put what I have learned into practice."
The western region is vast and can accommodate millions of dreams; the grassroots is deep, tempering the brilliance of youth. They use knowledge as the plowshare to cultivate hope, and dedication as the fuel to ignite the future, allowing the spirit of the University of International w88 to take root in border towns, deep in the Gobi, and in the mountains of southwest China. When the flower of youth blooms where the motherland needs it most, it is the most affectionate confession of the times by the students of the University of w88 and Economics, and the most ardent gift to the mountains and rivers!(Reviewer: Tao Haofei)
