At about 1 PM on November 27, 2019, students of the 3rd session of the active applicants training course of the college of Marine science and engineering, led by professor he haibo, came to the history hall of Shanghai maritime university to have a more intuitive and vivid on-the-spot study on the development history of China's higher maritime cause and the struggle of the Chinese nation.
Into the school history hall, the first thing to see is zheng he and other ancient maritime ancestors of large relief. Like silently watching the students come here to visit and study, despite the flow of time, the rotation of the years, but also the courage to open up, eager to move forward the spirit of passing down from generation to generation. Since 1909, the shipping administration department of Shanghai advanced industrial school of postal and communication department of the late qing dynasty has gone through wusong merchant ship, maritime college, relocation and suspension for several times. At a time of war and national peril. As at that time, our ancestors still overcome all difficulties and provided the urgently needed talents for the shipping industry of the motherland. Since then, the development of the university has been closely linked with the motherland, which is a kind of patriotic feelings ah! After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our school took advantage of the prosperity of the motherland and entered the fast lane of development. The university history hall also maintains the most advanced magnetic compass of the day, as well as the library notes donated by alumni. The students or quietly observe these not because of the years and dust of the teaching equipment, or silently praise the sea when studying hard, or personally feel walking in the old campus scene. The school history museum visit activities, so inadvertently ended. The students left in an orderly manner and took photos as a souvenir.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China and the 110th anniversary of our university. Looking back on the eventful years of maritime history, we can find that generation after generation of haida people have already connected their personal development trajectory closely with the destiny of the motherland. Seek self-reliance in a time of war and self-reliance in a time of peace. This is not only the strong character of the people of hai da, but also the mission entrusted to us by our ancestors. We should remember, we should remember!
