They focused on themes such as "Answering the 'Questions of the Times,'" "Accelerating the Construction of Philosophy and Social Sciences with Chinese Characteristics," "Knowledge Innovation," and "Striving to be a Unifier of the 'Master of Classics' and the 'Master of Men' [2]."
In his concluding remarks, Secretary Xin Xiangyang emphasized that young workers at the Institute of Marxism Studies must firm up their ideals and convictions, striving to be believers, disseminators, and practitioners of the Core Socialist Values. They must expand their research horizons, grasp the essence of problems, and explain issues with depth, thoroughness, and vitality. They must profoundly grasp China's unique history, culture, and national conditions, and strengthen research into the vast number of new problems emerging in theory and practice. As philosophy and social science workers in the New Era, they must persist in ensuring their "direction is clear, ism is true, scholarship is high, and conduct is upright" [3]. They should respond to the call of the times, listen to the voices of the people, and consciously take answering the "questions of China, the world, the people, and the times" as their own responsibility. They must strengthen innovation in knowledge, theory, and methodology to resolve major issues of the era.
