To thoroughly implement Xi Jinping's important thought on youth work in the new era, guide young students to base themselves in Lingang, look to the future, and grow into useful talents by serving the national strategy, on May 28, 2025, the trainees of the Young Marxist Training Project and the New Youth Red Study Camp of the School of Marine Science and Engineering visited the Chuangjing Technology Center in the Lin-gang Special Area, and visited the Planning Exhibition Center of the International Innovation and Collaboration Zone to carry out the themed practical activity of Studying, Thinking, Practicing, and Understanding the New Ideology, and Shouldering the Responsibility to Make New Contributions. This activity aims to deepen young students' understanding of the national strategy of the Lin-gang Special Area through field research, and stimulate their sense of mission to serve the country's maritime power, shipping power, and the construction of the Lin-gang Special Area. In the planning exhibition center, the students comprehensively understood the strategic positioning and development plan of the Lin-gang Special Area as a special economic function area through various forms such as sand table models, digital images, and industrial cases. The commentator systematically expounded the construction goal of the new area as a modern new city with integration of industry and city, opening up and innovation, smart ecology, and being suitable for work and living, and focused on introducing the breakthrough achievements in the fields of high - end manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing. Through field investigation, the students deeply understood the leap - forward development process of the Lin - gang Special Area from a coastal tidal flat to a modern new city, and its reform and innovation practice has become an important driving force for promoting the high - quality development of the country. During the activity, the students focused on visiting the examples of the transformation of cutting - edge scientific and technological achievements, and deeply understood the collaborative innovation mechanism of industry - university - research. Combining with the characteristics of their disciplines, the students further considered how to integrate professional fields such as green and intelligent marine engineering technology into the construction of the new area. The students in the Young Marxist Class all said that the innovative development practice in Lin - gang made them realize that as young people in the new era, they should take serving the strategic needs of the country as their own responsibility, actively break down the disciplinary barriers, promote the cross - field integrated development of scientific and technological innovation, closely combine their personal professional expertise with the needs of national development, and contribute their youth to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This visit is an important measure for the Young Marxist Class and the New Youth Red Study Camp to deepen the theme education and promote the cultivation of people through practice. Through immersive learning, the students not only broadened their horizons, but also strengthened their belief in writing papers on the land of the motherland. In the future, the college will continue to build a practical platform to guide young students to bravely shoulder the mission of the times in the construction of the Lin - gang Special Area and contribute their youth to the construction of Chinese - style modernization.
