This summer, college students from Jiangsu universities traveled to all corners of the country and to fields, moving from books into reality, from the "small classroom" of school into the "big classroom" of society, to carry out a series of social practice activities.
In mid-July, at the 143th Regiment in Shihezi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Guo Xiaohu, a second-year graduate student majoring in agricultural machinery equipment engineering at Jiangsu University, carefully recorded suggestions for mechanized field harvesting given by large-scale growers.
This is Guo Xiaohu's second year on a scientific research trip to Xinjiang. As the third postgraduate student from Jiangsu University to respond to the Youth Going to Xinjiang to Start Business Plan of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, this year he worked as a research assistant at the Mechanical Equipment Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Reclamation Sciences for three months, focusing on the optimization research of mechanized harvesting equipment for soybeans covered with plastic film in Xinjiang.
"Go to the west, go to the grassroots, go to where the motherland needs you most." College students are active in rural fields all over the country, doing field surveys and bringing scientific and technological achievements.
"The new model can automatically and continuously complete a series of operations such as straw crushing, scattering, and residual film picking up, with a residual film recovery rate of more than 90%." Fang Weiqun, a doctoral student at the Institute of Economic Crops Mechanization of Jiangsu University, introduced that this is a self-propelled straw crushing and residual film recovery machine jointly researched and innovatively developed by Jiangsu University and Xinjiang Shihezi University.
The summer social practice team of "Pu Shang Township" of the School of Tourism Management of Jiangsu Tourism Vocational College went to the countryside to see the changes, observe and investigate the development. The team came to Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City, and visited several villages on the spot. "We plan to build a rural cultural tourism resource of 'ox culture' around the major national project of the Huaihe River estuary waterway." Chen Chen, secretary of the Party General Branch and director of the Village Committee of Guzhuang Niu Village, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City, said in an exchange with the team that Guzhuang Niu Village is currently seizing the opportunity to upgrade and expand the village industry to attract more urban residents to visit, travel, start businesses and find jobs.
"Next semester, I won't worry about the homework for study tours and planning courses." Team member Zhang Huiyi said, "Compared to learning from books and collecting information online, field visits can trigger our thinking more."
The designated assistance sites of many Jiangsu universities have become the destinations for students' summer "Three Going to the Countryside" social practice activities. In Chuxiong, Yunnan, the "Yi Colors Reflecting Southeast" social practice team of Southeast University tried to translate the cultural symbols of the Yi people. "In the communication with local embroiderers, we felt the difficulty of every stitch. To make the "intangible cultural heritage" go out, we must create a more attractive Yi embroidery cultural label and give this ancient culture a new life." Team member Wu Zongxuan said. He and his team members designed three sets of fashion based on the campus buildings of Southeast University and with Yi culture as the theme. This will also become the sample clothes for the school's architectural fashion show, and will be on various school-level and college-level art performance stages after the start of school.
Congjiang County was once one of the 16 deeply impoverished counties in Guizhou, and became a designated assistance county of Jiangnan University in 2020. At the remote Dudong Primary School, students from Jiangnan University's "AI Start" Children's Programming Science Practice Group brought computer and artificial intelligence courses to the children.
Under the scorching sun, college students received education, developed their talents, and made contributions through labor and visits, inheriting the revolutionary spirit and continuing the red bloodline.
Preparing straw sand barriers, eliminating rodents and protecting forests, digging sand holes, planting Haloxylon ammodendron trees... Since 2014, the social practice team from China Southern Airlines has come to the Tengger Desert. Batches of young students have come here and have been working here for more than 10 years. This year, the "Green Pulse Dream Building" social practice team of the School of Automation of China Southern Airlines went to Minqin, Gansu for the first time to start a journey of sand prevention and control in the desert.
Only when you are in this land can you feel the importance of sand prevention and control. Every morning at 7:30, the team members will hike for half an hour, cross the sand dunes, bypass the sand pits, arrive at the planting area, and plant Haloxylon ammodendron trees. Use a shovel to dig a large and deep hole in the ground, carefully place the Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings in the hole, and cover the roots of Haloxylon ammodendron with wet soil... The planting process of Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings is repeated dozens of times a day, and "muscle memory" has long been formed. In addition to maintaining the seedlings, the team also became "cargo anchors" to help local farmers sell "honeydew melons" online. The students' "live broadcast skills" are becoming more and more proficient, helping local farmers sell more than 3,000 orders of specialty agricultural products.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Red Army's Long March. Many college students have chosen to retrace the Long March route to remember the great achievements of their predecessors and carry forward the great spirit of the Long March. "As a post-00s generation, this is the first time I have experienced the Long March firsthand." A group of nine teachers and students from the School of Journalism and Communication of Yangzhou University took a "hard journey and slow travel" approach, crossing eight provinces and 14 cities in 42 days, retracing the Long March route, and conveying the high respect of the young people of the new era for their predecessors.
During the march, the students exchanged ideas with Sun Guangjun, a 74-year-old expert in Luding County history and history. "For the people of Luding, Luding Bridge is not only a landmark, but also a spiritual symbol," said Sun Guangjun. He started with the special geographical environment of Luding, and then extended to the history of Luding Bridge and the arduous struggle of the Red Army here...
At present, the team has sorted out more than 1TB of video materials and started to produce two documentaries, "Wishes for a Prosperous Era" and "Our Long March". The team members said: "From shooting and creating art works, documentary interviews and field research, we have completed a spiritual journey through time and space."
Similarly, more than 20 students from the School of Civil Engineering of Nanjing Tech University went to more than 10 cities along the Long March to conduct a 3D cloud map search for red buildings during the Long March. Chen Siyuan, a member of the team, said: "We hope to use 3D modeling technology to intelligently reproduce the red relics along the Long March, carry out patriotic education practices in depth, and promote the great spirit of the Long March."
