New Contryside Construction Visit at Doumen Co-sponsored by School of Foreign Languags and School of Real Estate
On June the 18th, in order to fulfill the spirit of “studies on theoretical and practical issues of party building”, a delegation made up of members from general branch of CPC of both the School of Real Estate and the School of Foreign Languages, had an investigation on cultural protection of ancient villages in Zhuhai as well as new countryside construction, which was led by Professor Tao Wenhao and Professor Huang Wei, the Secretary of CPC Branch from both schools, and more than 20 teachers with party membership participated.
First, the delegation went to Nanmen Village, with the honorary title of “China’s 10 most beautiful villages”, examining Lu Yi Hall, the ancestral hall of the Zhao family, which dated back to the Southern Song Dynasty and Jiexia Village, a representative of Chinese ancient village with a combination of both Chinese characteristics and western styles. Professor Tao Wenhao pointed out that one of the crucial reasons for the downfall of Southern Song Dynasty was lack of morale and confidence. Reviewing the Party charter, the history of the communist party of China has been a history of hard struggle and high spirit. As a party member, everyone should always keep the fighting spirit, meet the challenges and difficulties, be brave in the face of obstacles and take the leading role of party members.
Next, the delegation visited the old street in Doumen. Through site visiting and communicating with local residents, teachers gradually understood the status-quo of the protection and development of Doumen old street. A heated discussion on issues such as old city renewal, traditional architectural culture conservation and fuction renewal, as well as other related topics had been conducted.
Finally, the delegation witnessed the new countryside construction achievements operated in the village-enterprise cooperation mode, such as Lianjiang Village and the 5000-meter Lianjiang Project, whose industry structure, operation mode, and coordination relationship with the village were investigated on spot.
In the end of this activity, Professor Tao Wenhao and Professor Huang Wei jointly pointed out that with the demand of internationalization of the real estate industry, being in line with international standard was an important carrier for the implementation of application-oriented talent cultivation of the university. Since the School of Foreign Languages has advantages in multilingualism while the School of Real Estate has high demand for application-oriented talents with a global view, the two schools can effectively integrate resources and cooperate in an orderly manner in featured curriculum system, academic research and talent training. In this way, not only was the internationalized talent training concept of the two schools effectively carried out, but also teaching and research development was boosted. Therefore, a win-win situation can be achieved. Deans of both schools agreed on the proposal and would arrange specific staff to put theory into practice step by step.
