The Youth Work Group of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Holds the 27th “Social Perspective” Youth Academic Salon

In order to deepen the study and implementation of the educational theme of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Youth Work Group of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences held the 27th “Social Perspective” Youth Academic Salon activity and a field research activity at the Peking University Red Building on July 5, 2023.

为深入开展学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想主题教育，中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院青年工作组于2023年7月5日举办第27次“社会透视”青年学术沙龙活动暨北京大学红楼实地调研活动。

The youth of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences came to the Peking University Red Building (hereinafter referred to as the “PKU Red Building”) to conduct field research, tracing the footsteps of revolutionary forebears and comprehending the great founding spirit of the Party. This research activity was honored to invite Yang Jiayi, a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of the Museum of the Early Revolutionary Activities of the Communist Party of China in Beijing. Director Yang Jiayi briefly introduced the history and status of the PKU Red Building. The PKU Red Building was first built in 1916 and was listed as one of the first batch of key national cultural relics protection units in 1961; it was an important base for the earliest dissemination of Marxism in China. In October 2021, the PKU Red Building was established as the Museum of the Early Revolutionary Activities of the Communist Party of China in Beijing, becoming an important educational base for Party cadres and members to make good use of red resources and continue the red bloodline. Director Yang Jiayi mentioned that the Museum of the Early Revolutionary Activities of the Communist Party of China in Beijing holds a special position among the country’s museums. The PKU Red Building bears the footprints of pioneers such as Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, and Mao Zedong who sought the truth of saving the country and the people; it is the center of the New Culture Movement, the main base for the dissemination of Marxism, and the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement. Under the guidance of a docent, everyone visited the themed exhibition “Glorious Great Undertaking, Red Prelude.” Walking through each exhibition hall, the youth saw many documents and revolutionary artifacts that previously existed only in books. Through the displayed historical photographs, physical objects, and precious audio-visual materials, the youth of the Institute of Marxism realized the hardships of the revolutionary martyrs and the successful nurturing of the great founding spirit of the Party. The youth expressed that they must take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as their guide, love the motherland, build the motherland, and integrate the revolutionary spirit of the revolutionary forebears who feared no hardship and bravely shouldered their mission into their future scientific research work. Tian Kun, associate researcher of the Research Department of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and deputy head of the Youth Work Group, organized and presided over this stage of the activity.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院青年来到北京大学红楼（以下简称“北大红楼”）进行实地调研，追寻革命先辈足迹、领悟伟大建党精神。本次调研活动有幸邀请到北京市政协委员、中国共产党早期北京革命活动纪念馆馆长杨家毅，杨家毅馆长为大家简明扼要地介绍了北大红楼的历史和地位。北大红楼始建于1916年，1961年被列为第一批全国重点文物保护单位，是中国最早传播马克思主义的重要阵地。2021年10月，北大红楼挂牌成立中国共产党早期北京革命活动纪念馆，成为党员干部用好红色资源、赓续红色血脉的重要教育基地。杨家毅馆长提到，中国共产党早期北京革命活动纪念馆在全国纪念馆中具有特殊地位。北大红楼留下了李大钊、陈独秀、毛泽东等一批探寻救国救民真理的先驱者的足迹，是新文化运动的中心、马克思主义传播的主阵地、五四运动的策源地。在讲解员的带领下，大家参观了“光辉伟业 红色序章”主题展览。从每个展厅走过，青年们看到了许多从前只存在于书本中的文件资料和革命文物。通过展陈的历史照片、实物以及宝贵的影视资料，马研院青年体悟到革命先烈的艰辛不易以及伟大建党精神的成功孕育。青年们纷纷表示要以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为引领，热爱祖国、建设祖国，将革命先辈不畏艰险、勇担使命的革命精神融入到今后的科研工作中。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究部、青年工作组副组长田坤副研究员组织主持了本阶段的活动。

Vice President Lin Jianhua, in his speech, offered words of encouragement for youth development starting from the “Six Musts.” [1]1 The “Six Musts” (六个必须坚持) are six principles derived from Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era: putting the people first, self-confidence and self-reliance, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, a problem-oriented approach, a systems perspective, and a global vision. First, must uphold putting the people first, doing scholarship for the people; second, must uphold self-confidence and self-reliance, doing deep cultivation in academic research; third, must uphold upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, grasping the development thread of academic history; fourth, must uphold a problem-oriented approach, using problem orientation to promote academic research; fifth, must uphold a systems perspective, making long-term academic plans; sixth, must uphold a global vision, embracing China in one’s heart, so that academic research has structure and perspective. In addition, one must take academic research as a vocation and possess strategic thinking; one must specialize in a field, both knowing what to do and what not to do, and also knowing what must be done; one must also have a team consciousness and strengthen cooperation. He encouraged young scholars to be diligent, to have academic accumulation, to make good academic plans, to strengthen their executive ability, and to truly serve the Party and the country.

林建华副院长在致辞中从“六个必须坚持”出发为青年发展寄语。一是坚持人民至上，为人民做学问；二是坚持自信自立，做好学术研究深耕；三是坚持守正创新，把握学术史发展脉络；四是坚持问题导向，以问题导向推动学术研究；五是坚持系统观念，做好长久学术规划；六是坚持胸怀天下，胸怀中国，学术研究有格局、有视野。此外，要以学术研究为志业，要有战略思维；要业有专攻，既要有所为有所不为，也要有所必为；还要有团队意识，加强合作。他鼓励青年学者要勤奋，有学术积淀，做好学术规划，增强执行力，切实做到为党和国家服务。

In the guidance session for applying for the National Social Science Fund Post-Funding Project, Ren Limei, associate researcher of the Research Department of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; Fang Tao, associate researcher of the Research Department of Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context and the Needs of the Times; Sun Qiupeng, associate researcher of the Research Department of Marxist Principles; and Liu Ying, assistant researcher, shared their application experience. First, the Post-Funding Project places greater value on the applicant’s long-term accumulation; the application topic should preferably be a topic one has long focused on and researched. Avoid competing with major experts on a “single-plank bridge,” and avoid topics that are too broad and empty. Second, the Post-Funding Project leans toward basic research; one must persist in long-term research, continuously deepen research accumulation, and publish preliminary results. Third, chapter arrangements should be reasonable and compact, and language expression should be accurate, concise, and elegant, among other things. The young scholars attending the guidance meeting also asked questions about issues they cared about and engaged in a lively discussion with the four teachers.

在国家社会科学基金后期资助项目申报辅导环节，习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究部任丽梅副研究员、马克思主义中国化研究部方涛副研究员、马克思主义原理研究部孙秋鹏副研究员和刘影助理研究员分享了自己的申报经验。一是后期资助项目更加看重申报者的长期积累，申报题目最好是自己长期聚焦和研究的话题。避免与大专家争“独木桥”，避免大而空的题目。二是后期资助项目偏重基础研究的，一定要长期坚持研究，不断深耕做好研究积累和前期成果发表工作。三是章节安排合理紧凑，语言表述准确简洁优美，等等。参加辅导会的青年学者还就自己关心的问题进行了提问，并与四位老师进行了热烈的讨论。

Finally, Chen Zhigang, researcher, summarized and commented on this youth academic activity. First, youth must take scholarship as a vocation and cannot lie flat; [2]2 “Lie flat” (躺平) is a Chinese internet slang term referring to a youth subculture of withdrawing from societal pressures and competition, often criticized in official discourse as a passive attitude. second, they must write their papers on the land of the motherland; third, they must focus on problems and make good academic plans. He carefully guided and patiently reminded the youth applying for project funding to carefully check their ideas, content, and form, ensuring there are no fatal flaws, and striving for perfection in details.

最后，陈志刚研究员对本次青年学术活动进行总结并点评。一是青年一定要把学术作为志业，不能躺平；二是要把论文写在祖国大地上；三是聚焦问题，做好学术规划。他细心指导和耐心提醒申报项目资助的青年，一定认真检查思路、内容、形式，不要存在硬伤，细节上争取做到尽善尽美。
