At the same time, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, with the far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, frequent local conflicts and turbulence, and worsening global problems. China's development has entered a period in which strategic opportunities, risks and challenges coexist, and uncertain and unpredictable factors are on the increase. We must strengthen our awareness of potential risks and maintain a bottom-line mindset. The mission and task of the CPC is to unite and lead the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, realizing the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style modernization.

Among them, some students put forward, how to correctly treat the authenticity of some famous people who guide public opinion on the network. Sun Yongxiang believes that, as students of Marxism College, we should first improve our theoretical literacy, equip our minds with scientific theories, analyze information on the Internet with professional knowledge of Marxist theories and philosophical thinking methods, and make scientific judgments on its events and remarks. At the same time, we should establish a correct outlook on life, values and world. Just as Marx said, "as long as the theory is thorough, it can convince people", so that we can keep a clear mind in the network world, not to follow others' opinions, and not to make ideological mistakes. Some students put forward how to balance the contradiction between the return to hometown and the choice of career development orientation when choosing a career after graduation. According to Sun Yongxiang, students should first have solid professional knowledge, improve their comprehensive ability at the same time, do a good job in each stage of the university development plan, form their core competitiveness, in order to have more opportunities to choose in the process of choosing a career; At the same time, comprehensive analysis should be carried out when choosing a career, and the most suitable platform should be selected. "Only the one suitable for oneself is the best", rather than simply evaluating the good and bad based on the region and position. As a contemporary university students, the stage is very broad to display their talents, return home to serve, or choose employment in other places, are in the realization of their own life value and social value, in the achievement of the unit as well as to achieve their own achievements.
In my youth, I find my way as the east rises. The students of school of marxism in the new semester will work full of vigour, being brave and persevering to go forward, to get the best score in the youth track!
