In order to deepen patriotism education and inherit the red gene, the Environmental Faculty Branch of the College went to Mianyang to carry out a themed Party Day activity on patriotism education from November 1 to 2, 2025. Through on-site visits, learning and exchanges, this activity further stimulated the patriotic feelings of the faculty and staff, and strengthened their sense of historical mission and responsibility.

Nanshan Martyrs Memorial Hall: Paying Tribute to Revolutionary Martyrs

Party members of the Environmental Faculty Branch visited the Mianyang Nanshan Martyrs Memorial Hall to pay tribute to the revolutionary martyrs. Local primary school student volunteer docents affectionately told the heroic deeds of the revolutionary martyrs to everyone. Precious historical photos and cultural relics silently told the great sacrifices made by the martyrs for the cause of national and ethnic liberation. The faculty and staff listened carefully to the explanations, stopped to gaze, and a deep respect for the revolutionary ancestors welled up in their hearts. Secretary Li Qu said, "Through on-site visits, we can more intuitively feel the great spirit of revolutionary martyrs who loved the motherland and made selfless dedication. This is a profound ideological baptism. As university teachers, we should integrate this spirit into teaching and research, talent cultivation and social services, and contribute the strength of higher education to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with a more high-spirited attitude."

China's Two Bombs City: Understanding the Path to a Powerful Nation Through Science and Technology

Party members of the Environmental Faculty Branch went to China's Two Bombs City to understand the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" spirit, which underpins the drive to build a powerful nation through science and technology. During their visit to the Two Bombs City Museum, they gained an in-depth understanding of the extraordinary feat achieved by the older generation of scientists—overcoming numerous difficulties under harsh conditions to successfully develop atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. This experience deeply immersed them in the scientists' profound love for the motherland.

Guo Yonghuai once said, "As a Chinese person, I have the responsibility to return to my motherland and build our beautiful rivers and mountains." Qian Xuesen stated, "I am Chinese, and I am loyal to the Chinese people." Deng Jiaxian declared, "The motherland will need talents for its construction in the future; I will definitely return after completing my studies." Qian Sanqiang expressed, "O glorious China, let my life burn for you." Their words carry immense power, and their original aspirations remain unshakable. In front of Mr. Deng Jiaxian's former residence, the teachers expressed their deep nostalgia and respect for this great scientist.

Dean Xu Chenghua said, "The 'Two Bombs and One Satellite' spirit is a precious treasure of the Chinese nation. As Party-member teachers in the environmental discipline, standing in the new era, we must inherit and carry forward this spirit. We should take serving the motherland through scientific research as our mission, cultivate scientific and technological talents, contribute to national development in the field of resources and environment, and offer wisdom for solving environmental problems."

Profound Significance of the Activity and Profound Gains for Faculty and Staff

The "Two Bombs and One Satellite" spirit is a precious spiritual treasure of the Chinese nation. Deng Zhiyong, Secretary of the Party Branch, said, "As members of the Environmental Faculty Branch, we must integrate the patriotic spirit into our daily teaching and scientific research work, and practice our original aspiration and mission through concrete actions."

Faculty and staff who participated in the activity all stated that this was a profound patriotism education. It further strengthened their belief in serving the motherland through science and technology, deepened their understanding of the hard-won nature of peace, and made them cherish their current work environment even more. In future work, they will inherit and carry forward the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and scientists, actively devote themselves to the national cause of resources and environment, and contribute to cultivating more outstanding talents in the field of environment.

History preserves memories, and spiritual strength endures forever. By deeply understanding the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" spirit, teachers will foster a stronger sense of family and country as well as social responsibility on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and make unremitting efforts to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
