Secretary Xin Xiangyang first extended holiday greetings to the young comrades of the Institute. Subsequently, Comrade Tian Kun from the Department of Party Building and Party History [2], Comrade Chen Yongsheng from the Department of Marxist Philosophy, Comrade Fang Tao from the Department of Mao Zedong Thought, Comrade He Qin from the Department of Contemporary World Socialism, and Comrade Zhuo Mingliang from the Department of Foreign Communist Theory delivered exchange speeches. Their remarks centered 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 'Teacher of Classics' and the 'Teacher of Men'" [3].

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, touch upon the essence of problems, and explain issues profoundly, thoroughly, and vividly. They must possess a deep grasp of China's unique history, culture, and national conditions while strengthening 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 remain committed to having "clear direction, authentic belief, high scholarship, and upright character." They should respond to the call of the times, listen to the voice of the people, and consciously take up the responsibility of answering the "Questions of China, the World, the People, and the Times." They must strengthen innovation in knowledge, theory, and methodology to resolve major issues of the era.
