w88 casino News Network (Reporter Xiaofeng Photography Xiaofeng An Xiuying)On December 13, 2019, the "2019 University Presidents Forum" jointly sponsored by People's Daily Online, the Education Working Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education was held in Xi'an, Shaanxi. The theme of this forum is "Accelerating the Modernization of Higher Education". More than 60 secretaries and principals from universities across the country and more than 400 university guests attended the forum to conduct in-depth discussions on related topics and provide suggestions for the modernization of higher education in China.

President Xia Wenbin of the w88 casino was invited to participate in the forum. Focusing on the theme of "Problems and Solutions to the Modernization of Higher Education", he held dialogues and exchanges with guests such as Tian Li, deputy director of the Political and Cultural Affairs Department of the People's Daily, Yan Chunhua, president of Lanzhou University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Shuguo, president of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Liu Xiaojun, president of Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, and Sun Lei, vice president of Northeastern University.

President Xia Wenbin emphasized that in the modernization of higher education, it is especially important to solve and respond to the problems of the construction of new liberal arts. He pointed out that the new liberal arts has four major elements: first, serving the needs of national strategies and local economic and social development; second, interdisciplinary integration and integration; third, a high-level talent training system; and fourth, the modern inheritance of the humanistic spirit.

Principal Xia Wenbin further elaborated. The first is to serve the national strategy. There is an interactive relationship between a country's economic development and education. Colleges and universities are required to design top-level disciplines and make more efforts to improve their ability to serve the national and local economic and social development. The w88 casino has established four research institutes - Qingdao Research Institute, Shenzhen Research Institute, Hainan Research Institute and Chengdu Research Institute. The four research institutes strive to become "encyclopedias" that serve the economic and social development of the four cities. They must be deeply rooted in the needs of local economic and social development. The second is the integration of disciplines. Solving a modern economic and social development problem cannot be supported by just one discipline, and requires deep interdisciplinary integration. In the construction of new liberal arts, it is necessary to integrate elements from other disciplines, further be problem-oriented, and improve the level and ability of discipline construction. The third is a high-level talent training system. Talent cultivation plays a fundamental and decisive role. The highest level of scientific research, the achievements of cultural inheritance and innovation, and the achievements of social services must ultimately serve the cultivation of talents. Only by cultivating batches of high-level talents with a sense of family and country and an international perspective for the country and society can the educational mission be truly completed. The fourth is the modern inheritance of humanistic spirit. To establish a new liberal arts, we must pass on the cultural context that nourishes and influences the liberal arts. Through modern communication methods and modern disciplinary methods, we must pass on and influence the humanistic spirit of a w88 casino and a country well. Only in this way can the construction of new liberal arts be given new upgrades and vitality in the new era.

President Xia Wenbin also emphasized that the w88 casino should take an active role, give full play to its own advantages, and combine the actual situation of the w88 casino to do a good job in "educating talents, integrating Chinese and foreign countries, developing connotation, and creating a first-class".

Subsequently, President Xia Wenbin accepted an exclusive interview with all media from People’s Daily Online.

The People's Daily University President Forum is guided by the People's Daily and hosted by the People's Daily. So far, it has been held for six consecutive sessions. It has increasingly become an annual brand event that gathers resources from domestic and foreign universities, displays the results of higher education reform, and builds a new platform for w88 casino-enterprise cooperation.
