Last week, a series of documents in the field of education were publicly released. The work of file deployment is like a carefully organized and interconnected "relay race", aiming together at the grand goal of "cultivating new era talents who can shoulder the great responsibility of national rejuvenation". The first leg of the race is crucial, as it is the enlightenment and inheritance of values and culture, laying the direction and foundation. The excellent language and culture of China embody the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, and are the spiritual fertile ground that nourishes the growth of generations of Chinese people. The Ministry of Education and seven other departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Inheritance and Development of Chinese Excellent Language and Culture and Improving the Language and Cultural Literacy of the Whole People", which clarifies that Chinese excellent language and culture "is an important part of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, an important foundation for strengthening the guidance of cultural values, and an important support for implementing the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and talent". Its series of deployments not only focus on knowledge transmission or skill training, but also highlight strategic significance: enabling young people to deeply root themselves in the cultural bloodline of their own nation in the wave of economic globalization and digitization, establish clear cultural identity and profound patriotism. Running steadily and solidly in the first leg means laying a bright spiritual foundation for the growth of teenagers, giving them cultural confidence and the wisdom to distinguish right from wrong from the beginning of their lives. This is the "ballast stone" to cope with all future challenges. Only when the younger generation truly understands and loves the source of their own culture, can the building of national rejuvenation have an unbreakable foundation. The relay race enters the middle stage, testing the "key baton" of talent selection and cultivation - higher education enrollment, whose core essence is "fairness" and "science". Last week, the Ministry of Education deployed to do a good job in the enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities in 2026. On the one hand, through strict examination and enrollment management, the implementation of national special plans to support the central and western regions and rural areas, and the protection of the rights of migrant children, we will fully safeguard the lifeline of educational equity; On the other hand, by optimizing the enrollment plan layout, reforming the examination content and format, and standardizing the selection of top-notch innovative talents, the talent selection mechanism can be made more in line with the major strategic needs of national scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, which is more conducive to discovering and cultivating potential talents with disciplinary literacy, key abilities, and thinking qualities. As a key hub connecting basic education and higher education, the reform direction of the college entrance examination deeply affects the efforts of millions of students and the educational concept of the entire society. If this baton runs well, it can effectively guide the potential accumulated in the cultural enlightenment stage towards the track required for national development, achieve resonance between personal growth and national needs, and pave a diverse and broad growth path for children with different talents and backgrounds. At the same time, cyberspace has become an indispensable "second growth space" for teenagers. Whether the 'air' here is fresh and the environment is safe directly affects their physical and mental health and value shaping. Therefore, there must be a powerful 'escort support rod'. The "Classification Method for Network Information that May Affect the Physical and Mental Health of Minors" released by the eight departments is a powerful tool for this "safeguard and protection rod". The Measures classify and refine online information that may affect the physical and mental health of minors, and incorporate the risks brought by new technologies such as algorithm recommendations and generative artificial intelligence into the regulatory perspective, reflecting the forward-looking and precise governance ideas. It will help to form a three-dimensional protection network together with family's word and action education, school's standardized education, and society's positive guidance. Only by combining a clear cyberspace with a favorable real environment can we ensure that the cultural heritage and direction given by the first two pillars are not eroded or biased by the bizarre and chaotic online chaos. This silently escorting rod is an indispensable "security officer" in the education project, ensuring that the journey of youth does not lose its direction in the complex online world. Shaping a new pattern of moral education and talent cultivation is a complex systematic project. This "relay race" for educating people has no finish line, only an eternal relay of running one after another. The education front should stand at the height of ensuring the continuity of the Party and the country's cause, adhere to cultivating talents for the Party and the country, and help batches of young people steadily take over the baton of national rejuvenation, and achieve the best results on the track of youth.
