On the morning of March 5, 2026, the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress grandly opened at the Great Hall of the People. BNUBS organized teachers and students to gather in Conference Room 1610 of the Main Building to watch the live broadcast of the opening session.

Teachers and students carefully listened to the 2026 Government Work Report delivered by Premier Li Qiang on behalf of the State Council. The report comprehensively reviewed the remarkable achievements in China’s economic and social development over the past year, deeply recognized the opportunities and challenges facing current development, and accurately grasped key arrangements such as high-quality development, new quality productive forces, and people’s livelihood security.

Each Party branch of the School actively organized Party members among teachers and students, as well as activists seeking Party membership, to watch the live broadcast, study earnestly, and discuss the Government Work Report through centralized and individual learning. The School’s Party Committee and all branches will earnestly study, understand, and implement the spirit of the Two Sessions. Closely integrating the School’s disciplinary strengths and educational practices, they will effectively translate learning outcomes into concrete actions to advance Party building quality, disciplinary advancement, and innovation in talent training, guiding the School’s high-quality development with high-quality Party building.

The 2026 Government Work Report, based on the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, prioritizes high-quality development, systematically deploys the integrated advancement of education, science and technology, and talent, pointing the way forward and providing fundamental guidelines for the development of economics and management disciplines in universities. The School’s Party Committee will regard learning and implementing the spirit of the Two Sessions as an important political task, strengthen Party building leadership, focus on the main responsibility of nurturing talents, serve overall development interests, and demonstrate the characteristics of Beijing Normal University. It will lead disciplinary development, talent training, and scientific research with high-quality Party building, promote the in-depth integration of ideological and political education with professional education, stay true to its original aspirations, courageously shoulder its missions, and strive to build a first-class economics and management school with humanistic heritage and international influence, contributing the School’s strength to building an education powerhouse and an economic powerhouse.

A key task for universities today is to implement the Project of Fostering Virtue Through Education in the New Era and promote the effective integration of ideological and political classrooms with social classrooms. This year’s Two Sessions emphasize building a strong domestic market, fostering and expanding future industries such as future energy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and 6G, developing new forms of smart economy, and deepening the expansion of "AI Plus". All these require college students to closely integrate their personal development with the nation’s development and classroom theories with practical applications. Going forward, the School will further implement practice-oriented education, helping students understand major national economic strategies and experience the dynamic application of artificial intelligence in the real economy through policy briefings and corporate visits. It will guide students to actively participate in the great journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, making greater contributions to the nation’s future and the people’s hopes.

— Wang Jun, Associate Secretary of the School Party Committee

This year’s Government Work Report delivered at the National Two Sessions is rich in content. It sets an economic growth target of 4.5% to 5%, which will be strived for in practice. Fiscal policy will be more proactive, and monetary policy will be moderately accommodative, aiming to sustain efforts to address domestic and international uncertainties. Boosting consumption has become a priority, supported by measures such as increasing residents’ income and implementing targeted and effective policies. Building a strong domestic market is placed at the forefront, highlighting its importance for stable economic growth. These initiatives collectively reflect the government’s determination to promote high-quality development and ensure people’s well-being.

Listening carefully to the 2026 Government Work Report, I deeply felt the resilience and confidence of China’s economy as it advances into a new stage of high-quality development. Initiatives such as deepening the expansion of "AI Plus" and accelerating the promotion of new-generation smart terminals and agents mark that a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating to empower all sectors of the economy. This development path, centered on innovation-driven growth and advancing toward new and higher-quality development, fully demonstrates China’s strategic resolve in economic transformation and upgrading, and reinforces the firm progress of Chinese modernization.

As a Party member, watching the grand opening of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People’s Congress at this critical juncture of the 15th Five-Year Plan inspires me greatly, enlightens me deeply, and makes me acutely aware of the heavy mission on my shoulders. Amid a complex and volatile international environment, the successful conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan would not have been possible without the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, uniting and leading the Chinese people to forge ahead despite challenges and act with perseverance. As a university teacher, I am keenly aware of my bounden duty to nurture talents for the country. I will closely align with the forward-looking arrangements of the 15th Five-Year Plan, integrate the spirit of the Two Sessions into classroom teaching, fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, and contribute my full efforts to cultivating more top-tier innovative talents and advancing the building of an education powerhouse.

As a doctoral student in economics and management, I deeply understand that scientific and technological innovation has become a core variable in national development, and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence are profoundly reshaping economic structures, industrial forms, and resource allocation. Going forward, I will conduct research on changes in consumer behavior in the context of artificial intelligence, focusing on the impact of digital marketing and algorithmic recommendations on consumption decisions, deepen theoretical understanding through specific issues, and enhance research capabilities.
