At 8:30 a.m. on September 30, the "First Class" of the 2020 fall semester of The School of Materials Science and Engineering started on time in Room T5304. In class, Professor Li Mingyu, the executive dean of School of Materials Science and Engineering, and Professor Ji Hongjun, Party Secretary of School of Materials Science and Engineering, started from the democratic model of China and carried out the special education of "Responsibility and Remarkable growth of young students in the New Era". The undergraduates of the class of 2018, 2019 and 2020 listened attentively, asked questions actively and benefited a lot.

Under the introduction and guidance of Professor Li Mingyu, all the undergraduates watched “This is China -- Good Democracy is the Blessing of the People”. In the video, Professor Zhang Wei from the Research Institute of Fudan University made an international comparison of the democratic model in the form of a speech, and analyzed the Chinese democratic model dialectically by listing the differences between Chinese and Western democracy. The students had a new understanding of China's democratic model from the perspective of the world, and had a deeper understanding and reflection on China's democratic system. As a young generation deeply rooted in the soil of China's democratic model, national pride and sense of responsibility arise spontaneously.

Then the interactive session was presided over by Professor Ji Hongjun, and students of each grade actively asked questions and expressed their opinions based on what they had learned. Professor Ji Hongjun answered patiently, gave good advice, and guided students to think independently with detailed analysis, which not only answered students' general doubts, but also emphasized the importance of discriminating ability and learning to think dialectically.

"The first Lesson of the New Term" impressed the superiority of The Chinese democratic model deeply in the students' mind. At the same time, we also realized that there are still many aspects to be done in order to realize a good democracy for the benefit of the people. The talents and women of NTU will carry this pride and pride, shoulder the important tasks bravely and forge ahead bravely.
